This makes no sense. Gat gets Demoted for TP'ing Two people a few feet, but Golden gets off free for flying, with Jays banned instead for protesting, even if excessively? You say to leave him alone, but, by your logic in this thread, Golden is just as guilty as Gat. If you're going to throw around demotions, the rules should be enforced for everyone.
For what it's worth though, I've found both Gat and Golden to be helpful moderators in the regular world, and I do not believe that either deserves a demotion. If banning from the war world is an option, it would certainly seem to be more appropriate.
I guess I should keep my mouth shut though. I don't want to get banned for "Disrespecting Staff."
As a last comment on the subject, though:
Respect has to be earned. A title doesn't magically grant you respect. Know that we all appreciate what the staff does, but don't expect people to worship you. And when you do something to lose the respect you're given, insulting you should be no different than insulting anyone else.
