My Ban

[Donkey guy]

I was banned recently and I am curious as to the fact that a 1st offense ban is 24 hours. Honestly unless I missed some sort of rule change I thought team hitting each other at the end of the round is fine, but I guess when someone starts taking screen shots and being a little bitch about it people get banned. He was also doing the shit as well I mean come on, its a game and you guys are treating it like its fucking Naz i Germany.

No intentional teamwounding/teamkilling during a round (teamkilling friends after a round ends is allowed, teamkilling random people is not)

Straight from the rules.

So then ban the other guy who made the request seeing how he was also team wounding random people

Wow that's totally news to me... I remember like 6 months ago someone kept killing me after round end like 2 or 3 times in a row and an admin was on and he kept saying in purple chat "TK's after round is over isn't against the rules!" when I complained about it. I always thought it was ok to TK after round end after that.

Wish I could remember which admin it was, it was so long ago.

Welp, Learn something new every day. 


24 hour ban does seem kind of harsh. Guy on duel server was killing my siege equipment I was trying to build, and nobody would even give him a 1 hour ban despite pics of me requesting him to stop, and pics of him continuing to kill it until it was dead (they said he was "new" so didn't deserve a ban). I don't see how killing someone after round end is a worse grief than killing siege equipment on duel servers (it takes a lot of time and C-materials to build siege equipment like catapult). This Donkey guy looks kind of new also judging by post count, but who really knows.

I was in the TS with the guy and he was not happy at all about what you did. I told him to tell an admin or put up a thread if he thought it was necessary. He thought the thread was necessary since it wasn't just him that you were killing. Also, he is back from not playing for awhile so he can be a little harsh on people, another reason why he put it up, but he was not team-wounding any one on our team as I was there with you guys.

I do agree 24 was a little harsh, but it can be a good thing as well. Admins are taking offenses more seriously and want the rules to be followed, which may lead to a better experience for us all including you

This is not a place for debate or discussion. Arty can say something if he wants about his judgement, but other than that there is no reason for any bystanders to post here.

Or better yet, put it in his feedback thread!
