April 23rd Rule -2 Incident

On April 23rd, 2020, the Head of Staff at the time, Minecraft4Abdous, banned a server member, SnarlyFuture, for a rule that didn't exist: Rule -2. Rule -2 is summarized as servers that are considered to the Rise of Nations server as a splinter group and/or server which plans on raiding RoN. The ban commenced at around 10:02 AM CST, and continued for 2-4 hours with large amounts of staff members coming into the server to investigate. The situation blew over after a bit, but Snarly, along with one or two others, remained banned. The bans were lifted when Abdous was fired from Head of Staff after being seen as a dictator, and Rule -2 not being seen as a legit reason to ban someone. As well as, Snarly had all the right reasons to ban Abdous. Abdous on that day attempted to "silence" the community by demanding no mentions of it come into Rise of Nations Discord.

This story has been written from best memory as possible, there may be some information I have forgotten, but I'll never forget Rule -2 day.
