Blizz War

The Blizz War was a conflict between the SAMB and mods over the banning of a prominent MBer. Blizz, the MBer in question, had participated in several conflicts and made multiple inappropriate jokes. The mods had warned him on several different occasions that continuing his behavior would result in a permanent ban. One day the mods' promise held true, and Blizz was banned.
Immediately, Blizz came back on his sister's account to find out the cause for his ban. It was narrowed down to a thread created by Blizz's account that claimed he was going insane and contained a controversial Hitler joke. Blizz claimed his sister had made this thread by using his account without his permission, but the ban was not lifted.
In response, Blizz created more than 60 different accounts and spammed the SAMB in protest of his ban. The majority of these accounts were quickly banned as well, but several lasted for a few weeks. Blizz had been a key figure in both the TAP and TSPL, and his friends were upset to see him go. They too petitioned the mods to undo the ban. Several protested so much that they were banned themselves. This only served to heighten the anger against the mods, but the conflict soon cooled as it became evident that Blizz's ban would stay. Several hypothesize that Blizz's inital ban might have been lifted if he had not reacted with his spam accounts, violating a different MB rule. The mods never confirmed this theory.
