I see that side of the argument, but here is another.
Many people use the bombs as part of karma wars, karma games, etc.
Hence, the Karma store and GEORGE's G-Bombs!
Bombs can be diffused now, which gives people a little more safety, but if we get 4 bombs in before they are diffused, game over.
I've had this talk with admin of the site and was basically told, hey, keep the karma games to C&C only, don't let it spill over to other areas. Meaning, don't go mass attacking the AAS board, etc.
Also, I have had several mods PM me to ask certain individuals be respected. I have honored those requests in all instances and have told people explicitely NOT to bomb certain people because of this.
I've also had mods call in hits for us, we've got mods on the roster even (silent partners).
When it comes down to it, its a big game! We're not running around blacking out people all across C&C. That only happened once or twice when people got together as a group to red karma key members of the bomb squad.
I'll say it again, its a game, entertainment, a joke.
