I don't know bro.
On EU servers I never run into any problems with the admins.
On NA I get muted a lot for no reason (sometimes kicked), but ever since the december patch (when the admins were changed), I haven't been banned (except on Scot's server, but that server is clearly a joke). And let me add, I flame the admins a lot (but to be fair they start flaming me first (this is also generally when the mutes come in)).
That's not really even the problem, though. The admins don't want to mute, they don't want to kick, they don't want to warn. They want to BAN.
Don't believe me? Take a look at this:
http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/board,32.0.htmlThere have been over 300 unban requests, and most of them are just ridiculous (take a few minutes to browse through the topics).
Think of how many problems could be solved with a warning or a mute.
