Between August 31st and approx. October 11th MCME and it's members have been the target of a multitude of attacks, executed by members and associates of the community of Ardacraft. This post lays out the reasoning of the bans spoken within this period to members and associates of Ardacraft and the further consequences which will be drawn from this situation.
The banned people are divided into two groups, which are:
Group 1: Core members of the "m3m3team" during this period who have been most active and have committed, and contributed to, most of the evidently malevolent attacks against MCME and members of MCME. These persons are subjected to a permanent ban from the entire MCME Network, except these Forums. Given the amount and clarity of the gathered evidence (see below) these bans are not negotiable. Any messages sent to any member of MCME or posts made on any forum or other communication channel regarding these bans are treated as spam and may initiate the further procedures mentioned below.
This first group encompasses the following persons:
Group 2: Secondary members of the "m3m3team" which have been partially active but less often or less intensely, as well as other persons that have supported the actions of the "m3m3team". The persons of this group are put under a temporary and afterwards appealable ban. The duration of the temporary ban is 3 months, starting on the date this post is published. After that period the ban may be appealed by making a post in the "Ban Appeals" forums.
The second group consists of:
The evidence gathered includes all the forum threads, videos, Discord posts and personal messages made by the persons of either of the above groups with evidently malevolent intentions. Additionally the evidence includes screenshots of the entire Discord channel used by the "m3m3team" to plan their attacks, as well as downloaded versions of all google documents, which were used to plan the videos and other sorts of actions against MCME and its members. This evidence has been gathered by myself. In total the amount of evidence gathered counts more than 1000 files, most of which stem from the "m3m3team" channel. While those may not directly be applicably for bans issued under MCME's ToS they do show the persons that were responsible for the content shared on the MCME Network, as well as the intentions of these members.
The evidence gathered from the "m3m3team" channel revealed the following core facts:
The actions committed during this period differ from previous waves of 'drama':
Due to these reasons, and the surreal grade of malice within that "m3m3team" channel, the consequences that are drawn beside the bans listed above are more drastic as well:
[ERROR]I, Finrod_Amandil, who has been the target of many personal attacks, WILL hand in the offences committed within this period to the police and I will press charges against the people listed under "Group 1" above as well as against the entirety of Ardacraft for a multitude of offences which are liable to prosecution, IF the members of "Group 1" create or support ANY kind of further provocation against me, against MCME or against other members of MCME, or if ANY member of Ardacraft or the "m3m3team" commits any further provocation in the name of Ardacraft or the "m3m3team" regardless of whether the leader(s) of either group acknowledge or decline it, regardless of whether this provocation itself is a criminal offence or not and regardless on whether the provocation is committed in- or outside the MCME Network.[/ERROR]
This is the first and only warning, and it's a generous offer given how close I was (and still am) to put these actions not up against any ToS, but real-life law. If the past week would not have been this quiet, this warning would not have been spoken anymore beforehand. The offences in question include but may not be limited to: cyber bullying, stalking, defamation, instigation to suicide, coercion, and threatening, many of which are criminal offences in most developed countries.
It is up to Ardacraft's administration, resp. its leader @Fornad to inform those members of Ardacraft that are not checking up on these forums about this. All I will do is contacting Fornad through the Ardacraft forums.

The evidence gathered from the "m3m3team" channel revealed the following core facts:
- The "m3m3team" was, as by the word of its leader, officially collaborating with Ardacraft and vice versa.
- The overall plan of the "m3m3team" and Ardacraft was to destroy MCME by all means, which includes constantly luring members of MCME away to Ardacraft, not for the benefit of the respective members, but in order to weaken MCME, and furthermore trying to lead me to a mental breakdown or worse by constant defamation and other personal attacks.
The actions committed during this period differ from previous waves of 'drama':
- The actions were wholly unprovoked and were not initiated by a newly spoken and debatable ban or similar.
- The wave of attacks was more prolonged and more intense than ever before.
Due to these reasons, and the surreal grade of malice within that "m3m3team" channel, the consequences that are drawn beside the bans listed above are more drastic as well:
