AJ didn't speak without authority. I stand fully behind him on this. The 
OOC ban feature is
*NOT*
a proper mean to "work around" bugs. Was that clear enough? (to those 
without HTML e-mail, imagine the NOT being red, bold and 72px.)


Yes, abusing a bug might justify an OOC ban. But that requires 
intentional, malicious action, not just the fact that there is a bug.

In a metaphorical sense: Speeding is a crime, but if I'm not caught 
because the radar thingy didn't work that doesn't mean you can lock me 
in with the murderers for 20 years instead.

OOC bans are serious matters and the OOC ban page says that in no 
uncertain terms.
