Who complaining about the ban have attended or supported the tournaments held for DOA. If you only care about appeal than the actual game itself, stop it.
Um....if you actually read the thread there were quite a bit of offline regulars that were opposed to this. If the costumes were not such a big deal then why bother trying to hide in the first place? This is why shit backfired on the community and it's embarrassing that this idea was ever entertained.
