Unban request for Chivalry server Options

[Sir Failalot]

Good day,

I was just IP banned from one of Sneaky Monkey's 50 player Chivalry server (I believe it's the one called '50 player carnage'). I don't know by who, but it looks like MD Porsuk was the only admin on the server, so I suppose he was the one who did. I also wasn't informed of the reason why I was banned, but I think it was because of the fact that I made some rude comments toward a fellow member (non-racist in nature), which I suppose could be interpreted as that I deliberatly teamkilled him (I did accidentally teamkill this person).

I would like to appeal this ban because of the following reasons:

1. The person that I accidentally teamkilled made (as far as I'm aware) no complaint about my teamkill, which was the first or second I made in that match, while my k/d ratio showed that my efforts were focussed only on killing as many enemies as possible.

2. At no point was I notified that being rude to a fellow teammate (in a non-racist way) would result in a direct IP ban with no further warning offered. Nor was my behavior or choice of words worse then that of other players on the server at that current time.

3. I'm convinced that my behaviour in the past months on the Sneaky Monkey servers has given no reason to consider me a disruptive player, a racist, a regular teamkiller or anything else of the sort.

Besides that, I do have some feedback about the performance of one of your administrators.

While I don't wish to personally insult MD Porsuk, I do believe that the choices he makes as admin are less then ideal. Besides his less then perfect grasp of the English language, I have noticed that he offers no warning about behaviour before kicking or banning, resulting in the removal of players who were unaware that they violated rules (those that aren't mentioned in the yellow text that regulary gets shown in the chat window). He also seems unwilling or unable to make an effort to find the players actually responsible for a unruly or unpleasant atmosphere in the server, but in stead chooses to kick or ban anyone that gets somehow involved in the argument going in (for example: if 2 players are having an ugly fight, and 4 others comment on it in some way, he chooses to expel all 6 players, in stead of the 2 respnsible).

I sincerely hope that you take my request under consideration, and that I will be able to play on your server (which I enjoy immensely) in the near future.

Regards,

Sir Failalot.

Hello once again,

While I understand Porsuk's reasoning, I don't agree with it, nor do I think it's factually accurate. To my knowledge, at no point did I express myself in a disrespectful manner towards Porsuk (if he has examples to the contrary, I would love to hear them), neither did I 'whine' about being kicked (once again, if there are examples to the contrary, please let me hear them). I made a rude comment towards a fellow player, which was intended to be funny (though I realise it's offensivenes).

My problems with the reasoning used by Porsuk are the following:

1. I only received an explanation about my kicking after I rejoined and asked why I was kicked, if I hadn't taken initiative, I would still be in the dark about the reason. I think the responsibility of letting a player know he is in violation of the rules, and that there will be consequences if he does not change his actions, rests on the shoulders of the administrator in question.

2. There was no warning that my behavior would lead to removal of the server, nor does the server (to my knowledge) mention that there are additional rules that can lead to banning, next to the racism and teamkill rule. I was therefore unaware that I was in violation of any rule, nor was this mentioned to me before I got IP banned (I was banned directly after making the remark). The fact that my earlier kick was meant as some sort of warning, was not made clear. Especially since this was in a different game, earlier on the day. That another rude comment would lead to my banning was never communicated, nor that I should consider myself warned for an extended period of time. I think it's unfair to expect of people that they know all the server rules, when there is no mention made of additional rules next to the ones displayed on the server.

3. Porsuk (and other admins) regulary tolerate this and similar behavior from me and other players. Because of a lack of uniformed approach (where one admin tolerates certain beavior, and another doesn't. Or where one admin tolerates behavior one day, and considers it a bannable offense on the other day), there is no way of knowing when you are in violation of the rules, and when you aren't. This awakens the suggestion that wether to IP ban or not (which I consider a harsh punishment) are left to the mood swings of a single moderator.

4. If the argument is that I 'always' do this, why was this never told to me before? It would let me know that my presence was considered disruptive (which I was unaware of, since few players complain about me or my playstyle as far as I'm aware), and it would give me a chance to adjust my behavior, which I was now denied.

5. If the argument is that I was banned to protect other players rights, why was there no complaint made about me by the player in question= There seems to be no way of knowing if a players needs or wants ´protection´ from a mod, if he does not talk about it.

I hope that these arguments will clarify my position.

And though I feel sorry for once again singling him out, I do believe that Porsuk's method is to 'shoot first, ask questions later'. IE: using his powers as administrator before actually entering a conversation with someoen considered disruptive. I can't imagine another admin that bans as many people as he does.

Sir Failalot.
