Thread: Hello, Im Streetbum. Banned today.

Street, welcome to the forums. I am in fact your banning admin. When i came into the server i played two rounds to see what was going on. The server was in a complete mess. The ct's were winning the map 9-1. The map was de_nuke. I saw that nobody was calling, people bunny hopping, and several baiting. I immediately took action. You were not the only person banned.

If you have played at Tpg you understand this is no ordinary place to play. It is not a pub "lets all go out and get some frags" type of place. We make calls and try our best to perform the objective.

1. If your friends do not have voice they should not play here. They will get banned. Have them get a mic, headset, or enable voice through speakers. Every single admin will ban if a person is not following the call. Being new to the game is no excuse.

2. Let the admin do his job. I have a job to do and I try my best to do it. If you have a problem with the way I do that job then please bring it up in the admin abuse section of this forum in game is not place to bring that issue up.

3. Calls where everyone goes one way works extremely well on these servers, if you stick around long enough you will understand that. Do not sit back and watch flank or go lone wolf you will be banned for that. If you have a problem with the calls either play somewhere else, start calling, or start performing the call. 10 times out of 10 the calls are not the problem, the person's performing the calls are.

4. I do not have a personal vendetta against you or any other player around here. In fact your ban was for 1 hour for disrupting the server, many admins would of perma banned you. Also after banning a few more people we started to gain ground and win a few rounds, get the bomb down etc.

While your here please read the cs policies and procedures section.

Again ship up or ship out. I am trying to give you a chance here because you seem to know the game. Ball is in your court. If you have any other additional questions of me please feel free to ask.

The map was de_nuke, so its pretty reasonable that the CTs were winning lopsidedly. Frankly, I'm just going to leave the server if I'm stuck on T from here on out. There's plenty of other servers where the admins wont scream at us, cuss, call people "pussies" among other insults, resort to slaying before warning and then write it off as "THIS IS A TEAM PLAYER GAMING SERVER" as if that is an axiom that I should somehow know at this point, or try to be the boss over every movement I make when I'm perfectly capable of reading where I will be most useful on the map.

I disagree w/ your point #3. Ive watched it fail, repeatedly. People get flashed, block, most of the team baits, and its just not fun. Its not fun at all, and this is supposed to be a game. Like I said, I'd been following strats and tried calling myself before you came in. It should also be said that most of the time the admin calls after I've already bought and everyones already moving. Seriously, I can be already on my way to do something and then someone will call and LOSE THEIR MIND when I had the gall to not stop what I was doing, lose any advantage that I had to get picks, and ignore the fact that picking off rotating players is how rounds are won easily...

Again, you're literally the only person who has acted in the fashion that you did. One other admin and I had an convo about what was going on the first night I was in there and we ended up resolving things civilly without him coming across as abusing his power, being unreasonable, etc. I was completely unfamiliar with your organization, and he was able to coach me through your insanely strict T-side rules without any of that.

I've been a mod on enough communities to understand that you'll win, everyone will back you up, & I'll be permabanned should I put up much more of a resistance. So dont worry, I wont "argue" any more. I get that you have your rules and you think I'm not even a blip on the radar. I'll make sure not to bring anyone into your servers though since you clearly dont care about new players, or how the Counter-Strike community in general is dying because it's not inclusive at all for new players.

Ive said a few times that I've never had a personal issue with following the strats. Was even trying to call myself at times. I was sticking up for/trying to help my friends, which got me banned. Don't worry, I wont be bringing them back there, rofl. Also, I thought the ban was an hour? It got extended because of this? lmfao. wowzas.

I was called mad in that last post, but you guys seem mad. Idk why. I tried to follow the channels that you laid out for exactly what I did, when something happened that I felt was unjust, and Im allowed to have an opinion. Dont extend my ban because of that lmfao. And tell me "you dont need me". Jezzum crackers.

EDIT: Cool, not banned. Hope that was a misunderstanding and you weren't threatening to extend it? Cant see why you'd extend it because of what I've said here. Didn't mean to piss anyone off lmao. Just getting out my side of the story.
