I'm calling them stupid for continually bringing up racism as the reason for their ban, and also, for continually fighting their bans after they've already been graciously reduced.
You're not very observant if you think any of this is about fighting bans at this point.
You all, as admins, need to understand the rules and not let your familiarity with or perceived Internet friendship or your white knighting get in the way of one simple thing. As admins, we all need to agree upon and uphold the rules, and if need be let people, clan mates, whoever we're in ts with know when they've crossed the line and refrain or stop them from aggrevating an already terrible situation.
This was done, if you had read any of the context of the situation you would know this. I was telling them in teamspeak to not say it, and to not make it worse.
We dont have to agree on the punishment but we do need to agree that the circumstance warranted a punishment. I know countless times when Rhalzo or Canary in TS would tell us not to make it worse with trolling.
I very clearly agreed that the circumstance warranted punishment, and have even pointed out the unfairness of
not punishing a player even though his remarks were directed towards another player and genuinely malicious. Again, you would know this if you actually read the previous thread.
Why wasn't this done? You see Desire dropping heavy bans why not say to her hey we'll handle this and what you're doing is extreme while your online and in game? Why let this shit show make it to the forums?
Because I was already handling the situation, and did tell her on steam that it was unwarranted and outrageous. I handled the entire thing on steam and woke up the next day to find said admin making accusations against me on the forums. The better question is why didn't Desire consult with
any other admin before dropping those bans? Since you're too lazy to go read a thread where you could have learned all of this on your own, I'll quote this from the admin thread:
You're missing the point again. When an admin of comparable power to myself goes loose cannon, what exactly do you want me to do? That is precisely the scenario that gets somebody with higher power involved. Clearly, the majority of admins are in agreement here that Desire went off the handle and escalated a situation that I was already in the process of handling.
