I agree with your decision to ban Gnoll. But if this is your stance, the same logic should be applied to the other two to maintain consistency.
My decision to ban Gnoll was because he was instructed not to create threads about the same thing. It has nothing to do with what I think about the thread contents. It is because he was making multiple threads about the same thing. Not because of the things he said inside the topics. Maybe a third repetition will help drive this into your thick skull:
Gnoll was banned because he made multiple threads about the same subject.
Gnoll was not banned because of the content of his threads, or my opinion of them.
I'll make it bigger, maybe that will help?

I really think you have a big problem here which you need to address if you want to have actual debates with people in the future - I've mentioned it a few times before but maybe you never bothered to learn about it, so here is a definition from the dictionary which will set you up:
noun: strawman
an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument.
You are misrepresenting me by saying that I should 'apply the same logic' (not my logic by the way, your logic which you purport to me having). You refer to this logic as if I agree with what you say. I don't agree with what you say. This is called 'attacking the straw man' - which is basically making up something and attacking that whilst addressing someone instead of actually disagreeing with them about the point in question.
To summarise for you - Gnoll was banned because he was warned about posting multiple threads having the same contents. Do you disagree with this? Or are you just angry at other forum members and want to use this as an outlet for your subjective opinions about them? This has nothing to do with your opinions on them because you are not a moderator and therefore not in a position to tell people what they should and shouldn't post. If you think they post crap then just deal with it, it's not my problem. I'm here to keep the forum clean and organised, I am NOT here to divert discussion in one way or another.
I'm actually shocked with how lenient moderation has been with some of these guys. Duki, Monarch and Gnoll have had free reign to go full blown retard for months on end. Significantly decreased overall post quality.
The only people I've seen go "full retard" on this forum have been you, nochanges2, and JustBe.
Duki spamming the same videos, 20 times on a thread and derailing valuable conversations is just as disruptive as repeating the same topics like Gnoll. These actions are similar / the same. Monarch creates mutliple threads in short succession and spams the site with useless, low effort posts.
The only "useless, low-effort posts" that I've seen on this forum have been from you, nochanges2, and JustBe.
Yet Gnoll was banned for 7 days for posting the same repetitive garbage. All 3 of these posting behaviors have the same outcome... Repetitive, spammy, low quality trash that reduces the overall quality of the forum.
The only people here posting "Repetitive, spammy, low quality trash" are you, nochanges2, and JustBe.

Eventually you'll just have to accept that Uppercut has reading comprehension issues and cannot be reasoned with.
I have to go back to Kara, unfinished business. I quit wow soon after a wipe, first raid. Got scapegoated by the main healer. Looked at recount, I was efficient she was awful massive overhealing.
That's when I looked around and thought 'what the hell am I doing with my time?'.
Got to go back, more than one ghost in bury in there.
Ok. Why are you ruining other people's joy?
I don't see why we have to resent other players being able to experience their favourite time from WoW's history.
Some people liked Classic, cool.
Some people liked TBC, cool.
Let them play on their own legacy servers, Blizzard makes bank and everyone's happy.
Only issue (in my opinion) is that afterwards, some people will ask for WOTLK servers so on and so forth and *might* have an impact on the playerbase by having people splitting up on each "classic" extensions. Don't get me wrong, I would be happy to play again some old versions without going on pservers but I don't think it'll be a great thing overall for the number of people on each servers.

We're already split up across HUNDREDS of servers. Adding more expansions won't split us up any more than we're already split up.

Yes and I agree, I'm just a tiny bit concerned if it would make it worse. (Though I would like to play TBC again for fun!)

The thing is, if they do it right, which they might, they will release TBC later than last time (2007 release).
Which means by the time it releases, the majority of the people from classic will move to TBC.

It's true, didn't see that from that perspective! :)
Classic is a game,
TBC is a game.
People like to play games, don't tell people what they should or shouldn't like.
You can't keep classic on life support forever, it's going to die.
The people who love vanilla (Like myself) will reroll on private servers or fresh classic servers when the first servers die. (They will die, every server dies).
This isn't a problem, people enjoy a more fresher experience after a while. You can only grind naxx for so long and new content added in the mythical classic+ is going to simply be a disappointment and disrupt the fragile atmosphere classic already is. (lets be real)
The people who want to move on will have something to look forward too like TBC (Hopefully, I might double dip aswell. With all the flaws it brings it also brings a lot of fun and new things.)
I can't wrap my head around how In your mind this is a dramatic pressing issue for you. Take a break if this stresses you out.
(Just realized this is a necroed threard, RIP)
I want The Burning Crusade after Classic, so that rose-tinted glasses can shatter. It will only further solidfy the greatness of Classic WoW.
Oh shut up, You know that TBC always was better than vanilla. Stop trying to bait.
Thing is, If TBC Servers ever comes out, there's good chances you're still gonna be able to play Classic(Vanilla) So stop crying.
TBC would be a mistake if 2.4.3 nerfed status. 2.0 would be a way to go(much more challenging)

That would be a great Solution. Make the transfer optional.
