A new player was fined. It is said in many places and has been said many 
times that you're supposed to be understanding and lenient with new 
players. Maybe he didn't know how to change the settings? The right 
approach would have been to talk to him, explain why the right settings 
are important, how they work and so on. Fining him was, clearly, not the 
right move.

If you have a problem with Toms or the Titans decision, you're supposed 
to take it up with him/them personally. You're not supposed to start an 
OOC discussion about it in-game or on the discussion list. Posting 
messages like this on the discussion list certainly won't help as it's 
very unlikely they'll make it to the moderated list and thus to Tom.

In the context you've provided, the reason does indeed seem a bit odd. 
You should contact Tom directly or the 
titans(titans at news.battlemaster.org) if you want to argue the case.

Yes, that is happening and it is sad in many aspects.
