What makes you think they didn't try something like that?

The fact he wasn't really engaging with the staff lead us to believe that he was not a good fit for a vanilla banling. This wasn't something where Barrin had gone afk for a month, he had been on and off forum activity for the better part of a year or so with little moderation done for around the same amount of time (probably longer). Out of respect for Barrin, I think that's all that should be said on the matter. Anything more would probably lead people to conclude that I'm trying to drag his name through the mud or make him look like a bad person. And as I've said before, during the time he was active he did a lot of good work and I do respect his contributions on that front.

And Cheesebol the gimmick abuser is out.
The bad will fall, and the good will rise. God this guy was awful. This has been one of the first LR threads I actively took part in, and the symbol hate went straight through the roof. Can't believe the legends were actually true.
This LR thread was a bit special. I was "rooting" for innovation because after seeing soulkey vs innovation in PL I thought this would be a waaaay better final than a ZvZ, but I wanted symbol to grab some win to shut some mouth.
While Innovation was the better player, I think many people were dissmissed symbol (a crowned "most consistent player in GSL" for the last year), and I was a bit infuriated that when Innovation was building a depolt in his main you get a lot of "innovation is outplaying symbol so hard right now".
Hopefully not all LR thread are like that, and the final LR thread should be good, and without too much whine.
Was pretty happy with the result .
