This is official documentation of the ban given to Bzine.
7/9/18, Anonymous User, later identified as Bzine based on circumstances and behavior matching description given by Haler and DK, commented on the defuct putting your mind (and content) wall post on Yari's profile. Comment was antagonistic given lack of immediate context. When subject was told off for their behavior and not displaying good faith that would harm his friend's own situation, he told the responding admin to 'fuck off too'. When alerted about this, on the 11th, the responding admin gave the individual a life term ip address block.
The same comment that had the concerned remark also discussed a brief issue concerning a member of staff, DK, in concerns to a name calling incident. No proof was given before the ban was served. The list of strikes included disrespect to a member of staff, outside drama being handled inappropriately, and harassment of a staff member. User failed to send an official report in the time prior to being banned.
After the ban was issued, the Anonymous User switched IPs and made two further comments, violating our rules on creating alts, evading bans and blocks, and excessive arguing, and was banned again. Bzine would continue to do this until finally we enabled settings to deter his behavior and limit access to the wiki.
While this worked for a number of hours, Bzine returned with a user account (having likely created a new email) and began to taunt in the original discussion thread, as well as vandalize the wiki with spam pages, comments, left harassing comments on user's profiles, and left vulgar messages on his wall. All instances of user's content was deleted and locked by AxisofDestruction, the active duty content and discussions moderator.
He was finally served a ban to his IP address, and his account. On 7/12/18, a user profile suspected of being another alt was created, and is being monitored for activity.

Synopsis: While there may have been a point to the user's anger, Bzine took it out on bystanders instead of dealing with the issue personally. They were insistent on being abusive and disrespectful to the community while demanding someone they didn't like (said impolite/rude/hateful things but not worth several hours of pointless internet drama) was banned for relatively minor issues.
Said person was warned to behave themselves, but no other action was taken due to lack of severity, context to the situation, or relevence to the community. At the very least an apology for the words used would be in order, but no administrative action will be taken. TZ Staff asks Bzine and future individuals with issues with our staff/members to take it up personally with the individual in private or discuss it (politely) with an admin. (ChaosWyvern-i, Haler57).
The issue has been considered closed, and subject Bzine's sentence is not up for appeal.
