I had noticed Damaso's absence recently and I was a little disappointed to see this is the reason. I lurk these and 762's forums far more then I actually post. so I've always observed the various controversies surrounding his play style. I have to say I agree with some of his past bans, the early idiocy with tanks, and the blatant use of exploits come to mind, and I can truly see how this could poison his image in the eyes of the admins. Having said that, I've seen his play style become much more effective over the past months and aside from occasionally annoying tactics like the Ju-52's on Crete (which are against no rules I know of) I've seen his squad very clearly turn the tide of battle in favor of his team several times. A very close round on Port en Bessin and a round on Bastogne a few weeks ago come to mind.
I get how annoying his passive aggressiveness and immaturity can be, and I know how "out there" his views can get, but I'm legitimately sad to see this happen. He has really seemed to learn from his mistakes in the past, and evolved as a player. I'm not always in the mood for it, but his squad can be a lot of fun to play on, if only for a change of pace now and then, and the fact that his talking seems to encourage more use of VOIP from the squad members.
I've never had any trouble with any admins or other players, and I don't want to ruffle any feathers by weighing in on this, but this situation does seem unfair given everything... And echoing what PanzerKnacker and sheik said, it would be nice to see a more thorough explanation. And I also feel that with the reality that the uncap rule depends a lot on context which may be difficult to ascertain (the difference between someone spawn raping, and a firefight while retreating from a recently controlled flag for example), anymore then a kick in that circumstance is pretty harsh.
Ultimately it's no real skin off my back, and I'll continue playing on whatever servers there are, as I have without issue for years. But I will certainly miss the fun of joining up with his squad.
