It's clear that the spirit of the rule has nothing to do with this, and it has a lot more to do with Izor being a bitch and uhhhh, a certain member of staff also being a bitch.
Mirrorrim's actions have been shameful.

well spamming is fucking annoying, but i think people are supposed to get a warning before getting banned...so if dwopple didn't get a warning then the ban is kinda bullshit. especially considering the million other times a day that people spam and no ban is given. and....shouldn't it only be a 3 day ban? or is it a second offense or something? i guess i don't really care, but players typically get a warning and if dwopple got banned without a warning then omfgzGun remembers.

I will make this point to start: As a non TWL competitor (Not counting that disasterous attempt with plade in TWDC). I am probably the most unbiased member of the TWL staff. I really don't care who wins as long as its done fairly.
In regards to faking logs:
1.05 Harassment & Private Message Spamming
If the attending game Referee feels abuse or harassment is being given to anyone involved in the game by a player who is not playing in the game, that player will be silenced. Proof of the harassment must be provided to the Referee or League Operators within 5 minutes of the completion of the match, by method of a screenshot. For further validity, the spammer must be reported to staff via ?cheater.
5 minutes is not a lot of time to fake it.
I have been fielding many of the comments on this lately. I have personally talked to Dwopple about the situation. And what is comes down to is this:
Dwopple has admitted to doing the deed. He has brought up a valid point, which I will discuss at the next TWL meeting...
1.05 Harassment & Private Message Spamming

The above bolded line could be up to some interpretation. Dwopple was spamming a spectating player of the playing squad. He was not 'actively' involved in the match.
This is true. However, due to the spirit of the rule we have included all players of the squad that are present on the playing frequency. We will have to reword it for next season. The whole point of the rule was to stop the spamming of ALL players recieved during a match.
There are also complaints the the punishment is harsh considering the crime.
Well, it was really to be used as a deterrent. Who would risk a 2 week TWL ban and 8 day ban from TW, just to spam another player? Ignorance of the law is no excuse here, especially to a veteran player like Dwopple. Again the rules will be reviewed in the off-season. But as for this season the rule stands.
I hope this clarifies the situation.
