My opinion in this matter:
Having played on Kithicor until November, it is my opinion that Yuyoy intentionally instigates server disruption of the type shown in the log file posted by saying something to provoke people (or doing something in game to provoke someone), then logging out or remaining silent. After he does that, I agree with what the GM said, that it's not Yuyoy spamming the petitions, it's his guildmates that he is using to play all the rest of you.
I think Yuyoy is playing the players and SOE against each other, and is singlehandedly responsible for this disruption. But all the rest of the players involved are acting like Pavlov's dog.
What I'm saying is that I think SOE should handle this in a different way, but many of the players involved on both sides are hardly blameless either.
When a GM comes into channel and tells everyone to drop it, they really have no choice but to take action and restore order when people start spamming the channel with stuff like this:

I mean, Jesus, are you trying to get banned? What do you expect them to do when this happens?
It seems clear to me that SOE should go after the root cause, which is Yuyoy, and give him a MANDATORY free transfer and name change to another server. All they are doing now is dealing with the consequences of a leaking roof by using buckets and towels rather than shingles and tar paper.
This situation is out of control. The "respect my authoritah" strategy being used by SOE to try and moderate this situation isn't working, and will not work in the future. Either Yuyoy must be moved off of Kithicor, or instructed not to use the server channels. This situation will replay everytime Yuyoy uses the server channels in the future.
Why cause this degree of negative goodwill, expensive and wasteful CS time, and apparent loss of subscribers over just one player. Get rid of or move Yuyoy, and this problem will solve itself immediately.
