I think you do a fine job compared to others who are clearly bias toward some players.
Selective admin at best.
Muted then banned me for questioning his administrative choices.
Silly people, why you spam green text?
You weren't there. Please don't opine on things you know nothing about.
Banning people on a whim simply because you don't like them criticizing your actions is hardly what I would call acceptable. Further, telling people to shut up when they want you to actually do your job is nearly as bad. Grow up.
No one is/should forced to do anything. It's a free mod, you're not getting paid. Play and do it where you feel comfortable.This.

Good luck with your applications guys, just remember that being an admin is a job.
Not sure where this misconception has originated from (it was mentioned several times in this thread alone), but it couldn't be more wrong.
What we want is a guy who plays the game, cares about the game and can spare some of his time to improve it for others. What we do not want is someone who sees it as a job, because it's not a job, you don't get paid for it, and if we expected someone to spectate for hours just watching people for no other reason than sense of community, we'd be naive idiots. We already had that once, and you all know how it ended.
Grow up.
I'm sure your lackadaisical approach to administrating the servers rules were acceptable at one point in time, but as you said, when 110 people are online, a more aggressive posture is indeed required. I had every right to complain about you and I stand by my opinion (and apparently others as well) that you are a bad admin.

OJ thing
Not that he would have responded to those real problems. He wanted to hang out with his buddies, remember?
Cockon, or whatever you name is, using my name as an example of "maturity" is pretty weak and is the standard go to when trying to bring down my arguments. Try harder.
Your cmp quote works both ways. The position is volunteer. If they volunteered for this position, then they should know the responsibility that comes with it. A volunteer nurse doesn't one day decide to neglect her duties because she isn't being paid. Your argument is as faulty as your grasp of the English language.
Sootnik:
"Hey OJ, we didn't see you kill those people, despite there being evidence that points towards it. We're going to keep an eye on you and if you murder those people again we'll punish you."
Excuse me for being vehement about you doing your job.
You were tired of hearing people complain about your inaction and you acted rashly.
His approval rating is negative, and there are multiple active voices against him. All the defense in here is from a single party - Fallen.
What's to be said of this fact?
You seem to be unable to separate me and LLJK's complaints, so let me put this simply.
One night, two complaints. One unjustified ban, and one incident left unresolved.
His poll here is negative.
You're ignoring the context of my comment. You were spamming chat, both admin and general, and being a real pain in the ass. You reported a player to me for teamwounding/tk-ing and I warned them. You then went after me aggressively for not being aggressive enough. I responded that having not seen the incident myself I couldn't just ban them outright. I made it clear that if it happened again I would take more significant action besides warning the alleged rule-breaker.
I could have gone spectator and watched the offending player. I could have gone spectator and watched you for a few rounds. I could have responded to every comment you made - including the many insulting and unduly rude comments made in both general and admin chat. I didn't. Why? Because I was one person looking after 110 players on a large map after taking three months away from cRPG. I wanted to play the game, make sure folks had an okay time, and hang out with people I haven't hung out with in a while. Instead I got lambasted in green text and insulted as 'the worst admin' by players who had never encountered me before. I didn't see repeated offences and so made sure not to punish players unduly. This is my policy, whether or not it's an acceptable standard I'm no longer sure.
If Shik, or anyone else with the powers, decides to take away my admin powers then I'm happy to let go of them. I came back to have fun and instead got shit.

All you Fallen can scramble and grasp at straws for your failing admin, but try to take a step back and look at this from an objective standpoint.

Um, isatis is not fallen, and "our admin" dio is not fallen either...
Out of the three of us, only one of us is Fallen... So...
The fact that you chose to ban me instead of others that have far more offensive "spam" is the main problem here. I was "spamming" about you, and your inadequacies as an admin. While others constantly spam racist, homophobic, and generally destructive speech.
I wasn't banned because I spammed anything; I was banned because I hurt your feelings.
Are you sure?
I did not circumvent the mute on purpose, I alt-tab crashed, reconnected and found myself able to speak again. Of course I continued on my way ripping you apart because you had not provided anything of constructive worth. Which was to expose the fact that you are a terrible admin.
How can you sit there and say it wasn't for personal offence? The first thing you told me when you first entered the server was to not insult admins. Why not? Any other player is open to the gauntlet if they act like a jackass. You all should be as well.

Voso, you obviously lack the capacity to understand what I said in that statement you quoted, but yeah sure let's go with what you said.
Ah I apologize then. No need to be a jerk about it, man. :(
It doesn't change the fact that your ban was justified.
Clearly not, because my ban was lifted almost immediately.
The grounds listed were since debunked by both this topic and the logs. I know I'm being an ass in many ways, but this guy is just too proud to admit that he did wrong. That's all I want. Just for Sootnik_Diomedes to type out that he was wrong in banning me, and that he practices an ineffective and highly biased form of moderation.
His resignation would be a bonus, but I'm not holding my breath.
I think the first priority should be having fun, and lastly obeying the admins every whim.
I think this displays a concrete difference in the way we're defining this game. I think the first priority should be having fun, and lastly obeying the admins every whim. The admins should be a part of the community not apart from it.
Sure the server has rules against making fun of other people, but do you deny that it happens nearly every minute of every round played? That insults were being expressed even as you singled me out for punishment? So you're going to continue to stick to your argument that I was banned because I spammed chat and not because I directed my insults at the ability-lacking moderation staff present?
Oh come on don't give up. This is fun to me. I really should have went to law school.
HeroZero I think I speak on behalf of the NA administration staff and the playerbase when I say ..

Dio, stay in-game later :D
I take it as a sign of resignation.
I won.
