I know this had to be done for the betterment of the game, but how does it really make any sense to punish those of us who are not rule breakers? Those of us that use private maps have quite the avid RP going and are literate/rule followers. Why close the server to people that are on private maps? Regardless, this won't change any minds anyway and at least the rapists are being, well... Raped.
(Just a quick edit) I also know for a fact that you had only Fluorite down for the longest time doing repairs and what-not. Why was this measure not applicable this time? Close everything but Lonely Cave and the Cape and then keep mods stationed at the cape looking for trolls. It's just a suggestion, not a demand mind you. Though I don't agree with the full-out block, I'm not going to question the words of the mods.
