If it were pretty much anyone else who Ephi had banned with no provocation at the time, then I'd consider it to be in bad taste.
But you two have such a sour history that it's not unexpected and complaining about it is useless.
You were banned from a server by someone you have a bit of a fued with. That shouldn't be a big surprise when you join a server adminstrated by the person you don't get on with.
If you're going to constantly argue and try to fight, then you should expect to be banned/kicked from servers for various reasons.
You should both expect that. And I'm sure Ephi is aware of that fact.
Whether it really bothers him a lot, or even affects him frequently is just a side-point. If it doesn't happen to him much because he's popular, then you should accept that, and if it greatly spurns you, then perhaps consider not fighting regularly with someone so popular.
And I know that Ephi will also start the fights at times, but that doesn't mean you have to answer back at all.
Your respect and credibility on a forum full of teenagers shouldn't be so important that you can't ignore someone trying to insult or argue with you.
And in regards to Ephi's popularity, that comes both from actually making friendships with people, aswell as moderating these forums and producing RTB.
It's an entirely relevant point to make. If you're arguing/fighting with someone popular then you can expect his friends and fans to dislike you.
And if you've openly tried to undermine his success with RTB, and also made a big thing about a similar product, then it's entirely relevant in any argument between you and Ephi. It's a major reason that Ephialtes is popular, so if you have made attempts to undermine that reason, then people are obviously not going to forget it and will compare you to it.
So when people say that you haven't done what Ephi has done, then they're entirely fair to make that point.
Your choices to garner some popularity and have people actually take your side in an argument are what people suggest.
If you made such a big fuss about Blockland Cloud, then you'll have to deliver something to match Ephi's RTB.
You can't become a moderator like Ephi, so that's out of the question.
You can however make friends and be nice to people. And it helps to not start fights or join in with them, or bring rather trivial things to the Drama section (like expected bans by someone you've begrudged from a server).
