Really? That's a bit ridiculous. Out of 40-something kills, 30 or so were legit. There were 3 people at the top of the kill list that set- myself, AJ, and Pain - with good separation from the 4th position. I did that messing around, not paying attention to the in-game leader boards, not to piss off NBK or anyone else- mostly just to mess with AJ (who was 1 or 2 kills ahead of me).
Take a look at the stats for that country, instead of just going by synoder's statement that "He killed himself over 40 times". On top of that, in the thread that synoder started about this, Pain said he did the exact same thing as me. He's still on the leaderboards.
Furthermore, I was never notified of this and I wasn't given any chance to discuss it with any of the admins. As as administrator, Slagpit, I would think that you have the responsibility to at least investigate before punishments are handed out.
Being permanently removed from the leaderboards in ALL stats is way over the top, especially when it was a single stat that was skewed by maybe 14 points. It sets a poor precedent- it's being punished without breaking any rules. It's inconsistent as well: self-farming, missile dumps, GSing into DRs, FA chains... these all boost stats in FFA using your own countries. I don't see anyone being removed from the leaderboards for any of that (yeah I went there).
And finally... I'm not super concerned with my leaderboard rankings. None of them would be that good. Just kinda pissed that I was permanently removed from all stats for a retarded reason.
