I can confirm that he did it to purposefully get himself banned.
We were assuming he was raging (well, actually, he was) and I said to Sayomie "hey, you do realize Cauld stole from the traps right?"
Sayomie said "and I'm ignoring him". I guess maybe we should have let everybody know. Since Cauld was begging to be banned, Sayomie just banned him with the reason "temp banned for a week". He came on later that day (which was technically the next day for him I believe since time difference) and tried to get my attention to explain why and I guess to get himself unbanned. I ignored him because I was busy, so only Sayomie can confirm that part of the story, but I noticed Sayomie did unban him.
