Just dont destroy them, there is usally a reason for puting them where they are, regardless if there is already a ladder or not, espeically not if there are teammates on the ladder. In addition there is no reason for destroying them, right? So just dont do it and you wont have any troubles.

ok i get it but i am usually the guy who brings ladders, only to watch them be destroyed by friendly archers who camp roofs...
did nobody see my comment that there were 2 identical ladders and i finished 1 off that was already damaged? what happens to all those roof campers who destroy the only way to reach them? oh just cos not wathced by an admin they get away with it? cmon guys this is all a bit juvenile e.g. "unban on 26th" for hurting the team...dado can back me up here, i dropped him a MW danish sword every round, risking the breakage costs, just to help out the team.
ok i accept the bloody ban, but let me share with you 1 story which has stuck in my mind for a few weeks, totally in context with this ban:
you know the arena map, with the spectator stands? good, well there was at least 80 people on, including fallen random dude, a merc admin and then the guy in question: 'irc://"not gonna name him but he has an xbow"
mr xbow makes a ladder to the stands, DESTROYS IT, round after round same thing, hes always the last man, UNREACHABLE, gertting told by random dude to 'get down now' etc etc, but hey, he's irc, what does he care...funniest thing is, we all see a message pop up in chat "MERC_whoever he was has PERMANENTLY BANNED PLAYER irc:// xbow guy...
oh but what do you know, that doesn't work, cos he's an admin...still on the map, stilldoing the same ol' ladder tricks...
so tell me guys, where is the fairness in my ban?

Well, I wasnt there, but if it is really like you said I agree that a ban was a little bit harsh, especially if there is second ladder, however sometimes there are assholes who thinks it's cool to destroy the own ladders, while someone wants to clim up, that's why it shouldnt be done.
PS: "oh just cos not wathced by an admin they get away with it?" - Yes. I am sure that there is someone somewhere in the world who raped a women or killed a human or whatever and got away with it. But This doesnt mean that it's not forbidden ynmore, right? :)

yes fair enough yaron and thank you for actually giving this time, but despite countless warnings on that night, he continued to do it...please, try to look at it from my angle here, compared to his ladder antics, i got no warning, nothing, just a permaban (temp would'a even been harsh imo)
and with all due respect, what is the 2 day ban gonna really achieve? we've discussed the shit out of it, i know what i've done wrong, i'd like him to admit he was OTT, i said sorry straight away in my post, and in theory can carry on playing straight away - now that would make sense, 48 hrs to think about "oh no, i broke a ladder", cmon!
i hate to say it, but this is why people are getting more and more pissed with administration and you don't have to be a genious to see why...
edit: i'm furious with myself that i didn't have fraps at the time, cos it was really worth watching...

Polkafranzi: well, unreal is the only one to unban you, so you gotta wait for him to read this thread. We, the other admins, are able to unban you, but its like a unwritten rule to not touch other admins bans.

thank you lilith :)

i've done the time, Unreal hasn't been active on the forums since the night he permabanned me, i've pm'd him, lilith has told me other admins can lift the ban but only on their own even though now common sense should prevail?
will i get an acknowledgement or....can you imagine...an apology! from unreal...nahhh, won't get my hopes up

In the previous round someone destroyed the ladder while I was climbing (with 3 more ppl) and we all fell to the ground getting damage. Then next round I caught you destroying the ladder with ppl on it, despite I warned everyone about that.

good to hear from you...
well, i didnt see that you wrote that tbh, and although i'm now unbanned, it wasn't you that unbanned me and it took til today (27th) to get unbanned...
do you have anything to say about that? i know you don't need to prove anything cos your an admin, but on a human level a bit of an enlightenment would be nice :)

I can't be forever online, if the time to unban passed, just ask an admin that is online to unban you, via forum or via IRC (faster)

Yeah, I took care of it.

look mate, what's done is done, you're not seeing my points and i'm not seeing yours but it's closed now ok...
with all due respect, you are looking to defend your decision, and i am looking for a realisation that a TEMP ban would've suited the crime more and this post would never of existed...but i doubt you will admit that a temp ban wouldve been cleverer on your part and i don't expect you to, as i also rarely back down on any decisions i make, in real life or on here...and that's just life hey
i said sorry in my OP, i said VERY sorry about the incident and i guess i've been looking for a sorry back (re the permaban) ever since, and i know now that i won't get 1 from you so that is that
please somebody move this thread to the closed requests.............we are done here
