Still, being demoted from owner to admin of your own server qualifies as a demotion to me.
I rarely to never see staff ban off of spectating unless they're blatantly hacking - which that point wasn't about.
Uh, your point about kb doesn't make any sense.
Witch hunting is non applicant here.
And that system doesn't work - at least not on kohi. Why do you think the playerbase preferred kohi to badlion in the first place? Lots of reasons, but one big one was because kohi wasn't so anal about chat.

As much as I agree with the former part of your post, I don't agree with this at all.
I played on the server, recorded several clips of me fighting randoms, and compared it side by side to me fighting well known people (drummerreviews, cants0ar, stimpay, etc.) before the merge. In every clip, kb was inconsistent, choppy, and overall VERY different. If you don't believe me, I can upload some clips with some type of side by side effect so you can see the difference.

Trust me, I do know what I'm talking about when it comes to knockback in pvp - I was 1900 last season and yet can't get past 1500 on the new kohi. The weird part about it, though, is as soon as I do a fight on a private server - or even hcteam's kit map - there is a noticeable difference and I do just as well as I did before the merge.

Some of the many reasons why a LOT of kohi players are unhappy with this merge are because it
A. Ruined the KB (Poll the kohi community and see how many of them say so. I would laugh.)
B. Completely overhauled the command system (/tpm, /tgc, /sounds, etc. Made it unfamiliar and overall is a nuisance)
C. Disallowed butterfly clicking (even if it was bannable on kohi, less than 3 or 4 people ever got banned for it, and you would never get autobanned)
D. Was more of a takeover than a merge - prplz is a fucking dev, not even admin of his own server.
E. Honestly, the way kohi did chat before was so much better. Instead of an automute, they filtered certain phrases to the community while making it seem like the player who sent it had succeeded in spreading his toxicity. This allowed for a much smoother chat (no red "example has been muted for unsportsmanlike conduct for a period of 15 minutes" every 5 seconds) and overall made it much easier on the community. Badlion's system is "SUBMIT TO OUR CHAT RULES" wereas Kohi's was much more subtle and more effective. Ever since the merge, kohi has gotten even more toxic - I assume as a result of these reasons stated.
F. Did away with screensharing. I personally supported screensharing on kohi - it was a way of catching cheaters who couldn't be detected serverside. I (and along with most of the kohi community) feel like Badlion is way too reliant on GCheat, and therefore a lot of detected hackers are allowed to roam free without getting banned. Again, maybe they're detected and going to get banned on judgement days, but most kohi players would rather see results than a ban wave a couple weeks later. I should restate - I'm not saying that Badlion should start screensharing (because I know it would be a hopeless argument), but rather that there should be staff who are able to ban off of logs and spectating.

Oh and less of a main point, but broadcasting mutes and gcheat bans like they are currently is incredibly obtrusive and should at the very least have a method of toggling.
