Isn't it pretty plain?

Consider this: a server crash is an event that is entirely out of the control of the GMs. But when the server crashes and people die, whether because they die at the moment of the crash or because they die when they log back in in a nasty spot when the server comes back up, the GMs offer rezzes. I.e. they compensate innocent players who suffered because of an event that was not the fault of the players OR the GMs.

Compare ^ to -> a wrongful ban is an event that is caused entirely by a GM purposefully typing in some command or clicking some button or whatever, which almost certainly causes an innocent player to miss out on much more than the time it would take to recover from a single death. But, presumably, there is nothing done for these people to make up for them getting totally screwed over by the errant banhammer.

A question that is far better than yours is "why in the world would they NOT deserve compensation?"


Of course I don't KNOW that anyone has ever been wrongfully banned. But I'd sure as hell put money on 1) yes there are people who have been wrongfully banned and 2) no the GMs don't do much/anything to make things right.
