Banned?

**~~BallsMcGEE~~** · 02-11-11, 04:45 PM

I was playing in your Counter-Strike:Source server. Under the same name that I have here in the forums. I was banned without warning by an admin who was anonymous at the time. I am pleading that I be un-banned or at the very least explain what I did wrong because I had no warning before hand. (Also the admin in question was making several other members in the server upset for his very "Strict" use of powers)

Thanks.

i was just banned as well for no reason what so ever. last thing i said was "w/e abuse of powers" because i was slayed for not following a strat one time when i didnt hear it . i follow the strats every time and have never been slayed for this before. and banned w/o reason . i am also requesting to be unbanned for this reason.

Thanks for posting those logs so that I can see what I was banned for. I really don't know how I disrespected an admin by putting an extra eye on my smiley face ^^

BallsMcGee, thank you for making an unban request. I am your banning admin, and you were banned for admin disrespect.

You typed "^^^", which meant you agreed that the admins (as there was more than one admin managing the server at the time) were abusing their power.

In-game is not the correct place to argue or disagree with an admins actions. The appropriate way to go about the situation would be to make a formal claim of admin abuse in our forum dedicated to that. Report Admin Abuse . On TPG servers, what the admin says goes. We are held responsible for our actions if they are deemed abuse but in-game is not where that is decided.

As for your latest post, I am not sure how you think the admins were out of control. This is a teamplay server, which means Terrorists have to follow the call (strategy for achieving the objective) and help their team. The admins were enforcing the rules in the same way that we always do, warning Ts to follow the call, telling Cts that they have to attempt a defuse, as well as enforcing other server rules such as no bunny hopping.

Edit: I see you edited your second post.

**~~BallsMcGEE~~** · 02-11-11, 05:19 PM

What I meant to type was ^^ because as you see I just killed 3 other players and they were making comments on it. Pure coincidence that it fell in line with that phrase and the fact that I hit 1 too many ^.

2nd, I'd love to make a post in that forum next time, but seeing as I was a new player I didnt even know it existed. I edited that post because I did infact realize that it was a bit much to assume, But I made an account out of sheer anger for being banned when I did truly nothing wrong.

I apologize for making it seem like I was disrespecting you, however a warning would of been nice so I could tell you in game instead of going through all of this trouble.

Also, I was wanting to become a part of this growing community. It seems that we've gotten off to a bad start. I really like the server and the players.

Really? So you were making a face in response to dead people's chat?

**~~BallsMcGEE~~** · 02-11-11, 05:28 PM

No, what the CT's were saying over the mic. I'm not here to argue with you either believe what I'm saying or don't It really wasn't aimed at the admins and I apologized for it looking as such.
