[saegrmir] - Banned for IC in OOC

Look, I'm not one to complain when I get banned on something, because usually, I deserve it. But this time I didn't.
I know 60 minutes might seem a petty thing to complain about, but saegrmir had no fucking reason to ban me.
Here's the situation, it's a blob round and I'm playing a geneticist.
I see an alert for unidentified life forms outside the station and I get an idea for a special round, so naturally I want to share it.
Here is a screenshot of what I said and the ban.

I said "here's an IDEA for a round", not "hey this blob round is cool, why don't we add some xenos?"

I'm not asking for my ban to be taken away, I'm just pissed off because I want to play spessmen and this dick is pissing it up.

Really seems like a direct reference to the round when the blob pops in your office practically right in front of you, and suddenly "I got an idea involving blobs!"
It was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction, i'll admit, but any round related information in OOC is not okay. Especially the round type.

To be fair though, the capitain had just made an announcement about the blob.
It's not as if anybody didn't know about it.

The ban was within the rules, strictly speaking, even if it wasn't 'necessary' or serving any purpose, as such.

Just from looking at this, I feel this was rather overzealous. Look at the person's OOC message without the context of them getting blobfucked and what, exactly, does it say? I love to crack down on IC in OOC as much as the next person Saeg but this seems unjustified.

Like I said it was kind of a knee-jerk reaction to seeing blob chatter in ooc when the blob had just popped. I'll admit this was a bit over the line.
