No, it was not. I mined those both before and after the bans on my rogue. There was nothing that would indicate it was a bug at all. In fact, the Ooze-covered Mithril Veins still work exactly the same way. There is nothing to state that the way it works even today is bugged.
The problem here is that the permaban with no warning is flatly uncalled for. The right way to handle this would have been to put a note in the TOU thread, and then change the behavior of the nodes. No bans were necessary. At all.
This is not drama, and not a comment made with emotion. Just factual information. Those five people were banned unjustly, and because that can happen without Nost staff owning up to the fact that it was unjust, it means you play here at your own risk - on every activity that you do.
