Thread: Slayed twice - admin abuse

All of the CS:S admins will be looking at your unban post. You're extremely defensive in the thread and I would honestly concentrate on getting yourself unbanned instead of pointing fingers.

A call is a call. I wouldn't bother arguing that a caller should be banned for a poor call. Why don't you step up and start calling some maps?

Plus in your previous post I love how you admit you were looking for a reason to ban me, a player that has played on your server many times. Obviously you think people come into your servers just to irritate you and other s constantly, some of your admins seem to go with the kick/ban him and they will move on. I am more upset about this because you guys do have a great community server and I enjoy playing otherwise I wouldn't have come back in between playing matches. I know I am just one player in your large community, and what I say really doesn't matter because you will just lock this thread someday and never hear from me again.

The biggest complaint I hear is "follow the strat" but when it is on dust_2 and the call is everyone rush long a.... there comes a point when some admin disgression needs to be had, maybe admins should start banning for "bad" calls if they are going to keep banning for not following "bad" calls. Being an player who has played in many leagues of css over many years I understand following the call, but I also understand bad calls, and I understand "floaters" in maps. Yes they do get kills, but it is because they are floating. It is part of many strats. I know, not on your public servers. Though I am going to stop going down this path because it isn't what this thread is about. I am more or less bring up that your admins have the scapegoat of "not following the strat, they were 10 ft off the path I told them to take"

I read Bishops' post and I see nowhere where he admits he was "looking for a reason to ban you." As I said earlier, you need to drop this and concentrate on your unban request. Ace has already posted as a witness, saying the actions were justified. As Ryan said, a call is a call.

Also, I will add that admins do not have to warn before taking any action.

Our house, theirs the door pick which side you want on. Man up and do better.

mechanic, i didn't ban you, i'm posting here because i was the admin that originally slayed you. i was also the admin that asked if you thought mocking our efforts to pursue the objective was funny.

as you say you've been a member for a year or so, you must also know tpg is possibly the internets only "true" teamplay server, a haven for those that want competitve, objective based play in a no nonsense environment. we take this seriously, just as we take our responsibilities in enforcing teamplay seriously. thus admin abuse claims are serious like player bans are, and can have consequences.

so to set the record straight from my pov. i slayed you for repeadetly mocking the players requesting that you plant the bomb. i asked you if you thought it was funny. you claimed admin abuse. i told you to post on the forums and that we took this seriously. i went afk myself and left the server.

i came back to the server as a CT, and killed you in B running over to A, where the rest of your team had rushed in an attempt to plant the bomb. you obviously didn't follow the call and bishop knew it. maybe you were afk in the rounds beginning posting in the abuse forum? strike 2.

then you went afk, apparently to post in the abuse forums. nothing is wrong with posting in the abuse forums, except doing it during the game where you hamper your team by your abscenses. admins are normally understanding of an afk for a round, which is usually just a slay if the server is waiting on you, but more than that usually earns a kick. when you are afk for the whole round, or just for the first 10 seconds several rounds in a row matters, it's like the team is playing a man down because of you. you were kicked, came back and went afk again.

you then asked why you were kicked and asked who the admin was. you were so busy pursuing your agenda in the forums as an afk, and trying to get the admin to respond to you in game, that you forgot everyone else was there to play the game, on a server specifically created to keep players that do all the things you just did, out of the server. strike 3. you were originally banned for a week, which is now a permanent ban.

a high admin will no doubt address your admin abuse claim and try to determine if admins abused their powers. regardless of their decision, i suggest you decide if you really want to play here before wasting any more time. if that takes longer than a few seconds, you should probably move on. if you decide to stay, read our motd and server rules. we take those seriously too. good luck.

cc: ban forum

Well that makes my job easier. Manno pretty much summed up everything I was going to say.

The admin(s) were will within their right to punish given how the events unfolded. You might think this is a 'his word against mine' setup but its really a 'his word and the word of multiple other witnesses against mine'.

Admin abuse claim denied.
