Ban appeal (and complaint about an admin) Options

[ssupp]

Hello everyone,

Let me start this by saying I have no ill will towards anyone, but I feel like I should get this out in the open to prevent the death of one of my favorite servers.

It's about a certain admin I've been observing for a couple of weeks now, and his name is Airplane.
This one time I kicked him ONCE because I knew the game was going to be over in a couple of seconds, and he kicked me from that game. When I returned to the game he threatened to ban me for a couple of days if I ever kicked a team mate again. At that point I immediately knew he enjoys asserting his powers over other players, and my suspicions were confirmed last night.

You see, I was using the catapult and another player from my team kept throwing javelins at me. Some other player I didn't know started a votekick against him, so I'm sure it wasn't only me he was harassing. Sadly the votekick failed so I started a vote myself, but it failed as well. So being desperate I asked if any admins could take action instead, but my plead was not heard, so I went back to the catapult. Of course not even a minute later the same player threw a javelin at me AGAIN, so I decided to defend myself. I kicked him into the water and I was immediately banned while the instigator was probably left alone. Was I just banned from that single game? No. Was I banned for one day? No. I am still banned the next day even though I was only protecting myself. And what was his reason? ''We don't deal with trolls like that.'' Really? I'm not allowed to defend myself even though I waited patiently for an Admin to take action? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he waited for me to defend myself so he could ban me.

So why do I write this wall of text? Because I fear the server will die if players keep getting banned for several days (or permanently) for simple misdemeanors.
Chivalry already doesn't have a huge player base these days, so it might not just be the server he's destroying single-handedly, but the entire game.

Thanks in advance.

The round was already over. My mate was carrying the flag and he said he was gonna finish it with 100% certainty.

Oh, I'm sorry, but your mate didn't bother informing me of his certainty. For the record the round is over when the last objective is carried out; the loosing team is forced to use fisticuffs and the traditional brutal massacre begins.
And yes, I am very strict about kicking people off the server for kicking teammates. In gameplay terms that bit of damage is oftentimes enough to make the difference between surviving a hit from a strong weapon (Zweihaender, Maul, etc.) and crumbling.
Edit: Coincidentally, regenerating those HP takes just as much time as going into the playerlist and looking up the offenders name. Rejoining the server doesn't take much longer.

The thing is, he literally kicked me instantly before he even kicked the original problem creator.

That is simply not true. It took me a couple of seconds to type out your name and the reason for banning you (100 hours if I remember correctly).

What is with this unnecessary hostility?

Huh? Using an idiom? Hostility? After you said:

At that point I immediately knew he enjoys asserting his powers over other players, and my suspicions were confirmed last night.

Please don't kinkshame me.
