The reason this is different is:
-Tit was banned before this happened.
-IMP killed slags country because tit was banned. Not for fluffs an giggles. Not for any in-game reason. They killed it because an admin was doing their job.
-IMP has posted multiple times they did it to get admins attention. Not because it was self farming. Not just to kill. But targeted an admin because of him doing his admin job.
-IMP did not try to contact admins other then slag, they did not go through the proper means of appealing the decision.

Ps. TKO is handling this behind closed doors with IMP FAs. Im simply stating why this is different in my opinion.
The issue is Mod/Admin getting killed for mod/admin work. Killing an admin for doing his job is against the spirit of the game IMHO.
