Our decision wasn't made just by the whole Chief vs. Nomad deal, we looked at all Master Chief battles. The way Chief supporters responded to a conflicting vote was entirely immature. Overall, every battle that harbors the Chief just spawns flame wars. A one year ban is necessary to convey the message that arguments made on this wiki must be mature. Battles featuring warriors from the series does not harbor flame wars at all. We're banning the use of the Chief, not to deter the votes of Halo-fans, but to deter immature voters. Chief-supporters and anti-Chief supporters have the right to make their arguments, until they turn immature. What's the point of going through the trouble in blocking users instead of banning the use of the Chief, for one year? Overall, blocking these users will just encourage them to create sock-puppets and continue to vote and possibly try to override the rules of the wiki (just look at the idiot/Lucasliso).
