As one of the tiny handful of people who get to see both side of the coin, and as Bloodsport already mentioned, there's really two schools of thought on ASC: one that we should be pro-active in policing the community and another who steadfastly believe the scope of our mandate doesn't extend past the forum and we (the staff) shouldn't "butt into the community's business" (since not all airsofters in Canada are even on ASC, as some have pointed out).
We've basically done everything we can to prevent Mr.Ferguson from doing any type of business on ASC (and even cracked down on his vaporware self-promotion), but he does have his own website from which he conducts business and lists himself in several business directories, etc.
Until the community pulls together and actually ostracizes blackballed players the sanctions on ASC are somewhat moot since they can just go to another site to continue doing business with all the people who still support them.
I quoted ex-royal's message, but I was also addressing Poncho's statement.
