Events leading to the ban
I’ve been getting griefed by a particular bartender while playing as a mime, the first few times I took it on the nose even though I was killed early on in each match. The events leading up to my ban were the same situations. I playing as the mime, was immediately attacked by said bartender. My reports fell on deaf ears, So I took justice into my hands. I was generously gifted two C-4 bombs by a mysterious janitor who’d witnessed me getting griefed by the bartender. While it was not a smart play, I did try to suicide bomb the griefer out of pure frustration. I answered the admin honestly and explained the issues at hand, then was issued a warning. After some back and forth with the admin explaining my genuine frustration, I let them know I was getting off for the night as I was tired and again, frustrated. I sat there for a few minutes without a reply, then logged off. The next day when I tried to log on, I was met with a message saying
“Out of principle, I’ve placed a 4.5 day game-ban on your account as a result of you leaving while I was speaking with you in a help. This is typically 7 days, but it has been halved due to you being a new player. We do not support raiders and griefers, however we still expect everyone else to follow the rules in the server. if everyone starts breaking rules, it becomes extremely difficult to tell who is in the wrong.”
Reason the ban should be removed
I was the victim of griefing on multiple accounts and reporting the issue through proper channels resulted in little to no action. Secondly, I had already received a written warning for my actions in this encounter. If like this ban was a bit spiteful after I expressed my frustration of getting griefed multiple times without any intervention or help to the admin. During my conversation with the admin, I made my feelings known in a professional capacity and informed them on my intentions. I waited ample time for them to reply. I did not just log off while they were typing. The messages I did get from admin, took them tens of minutes to reply. It is a ridiculous notion to expect players to wait that long for a reply after you told them, you were logging off for the night. I feel like this is an egregious overstep by the admin and It feels a bit petty. I am not the type of person to write a strongly worded letter to anyone, so this just goes to show how slighted I feel. I was the victim and I am being persecuted for taking a stand against griefers.
