Hello all,
About 15 mins ago I was banned from the classic server by r4h. Here's what happened:
He was playing under the name "o", so obviously had no idea who he was. There were quite a lot of cheaters around at the time which Burzum was sorting out and he ran out prefiring exactly where I was, so I said to Burzum that he's probably at it too. Once he revealed who he was, he started giving me a load of grief saying how good he is and i'm that a "noobie" (yeah, that's cool.), and wouldn't give up the abuse. I said in admin chat "fs if I knew it was you, then I wouldn't have said anything", he replied "well stfu until you know who cheats", I replied "seemed dodgy and I had no idea who you were". Even Burzum said to me there's no need to apologise he's just lucky. Still, he carried giving me hell so I (wrongly, yes) said "shut your mouth you gobby c***" and was promptly banned.
Now, I accept that I've used language not appropriate, but when an admin is baiting you like this and they ban you for giving it back, where's the fairness in that? He's given it but can't take it back then used his powers to ban me. As a long time player and former admin I think this is a little harsh, and even when I connected (not sure how) he banned me immediately without giving me the chance to resolve the issue.
I should add that I tried to connect again to try and resolve this issue, not actually expecting to be able to connect to the server.
