Hey, I was recently involved with the whole DDS scandal, as DDS_Hyrulian. First off, I'd like to formally apologize for the poll abuse. Half of it was us being really inconsiderate, and the other half was us trying to teach Tossy_Chucker how to play. If we knew how to set up our own private server or something, we would...but all we had for options was a low or zero population server (AKA rageball). Anyway, it was unfair of us to try to claim the server as our own by banning everyone who joined.
That being said, I'm curious about something said in Chrisrusty's post about the unban. You said that those who were previously banned would still serve their full sentence, and my name was on that list. I'm not refuting the claim that my character had faced a previous ban, but I definitely do not remember being banned on DDS_Hyrulian. Besides several caps locked obscenities and some kicks for accidental team wounding, I'm not aware of any previous bans or suspensions on this account.
Is there a way to check your account history for bans, kicks, etc? If not, could you please give me a concise list for my own records? I try to keep a clean record, so it concerns me that I have faced a ban previous to last night's. Not to mention, a lot of us play every night, contribute to our team's success, and have a fun time without causing too much trouble. A 72 hour ban for active members of your community is a bit extreme, I feel. All it takes is a couple hours to think "damn, we shouldn't have done that". It'd be one thing if we were being verbally abusive and teamkilling...but a lot of us try hard to follow the rules, and last night was just a small slip of conscience because we didn't know how else to have a fight between just the 6 of us. We weren't even playing rageball, we were just using the server because no one was in it :-(
Anyway, again – we're sorry, and if you could tell me the reason for my previous ban, or better yet shorten the ban to 24 hours so I can play tonight....either or both would be fantastic.
Thanks for reading!
