I regret to inform you that the rules are not open to much interpretation by Admins, even if they disagree with a rule they must enforce it.
Here is a referesher
For Nuffen,
"
No offensive behavior anywhere
Remember that this is the internet. Don't be insulted if someone calls you an idiot.
He team-killed me intentionally, I gave him no intended reason for doing so. He team attacked me and I defended myself the following round. I'm calling you an idiot, are admins exempt from the rules?
Thanks rev.
Also,
"Breaking a rule may net you a warning, mute, kick or ban at admin discretion depending on
severity of rule broken and player history (yes, repeated offenders are treated more harshly). In minor offences you usually get a written warning first, in more severe cases you might get kicked or even banned immediately.
If you ever get kicked, consider that a serious warning - you are obviously doing something wrong. If you are unsure what it is, re-read these rules and/or ask the admin in question what the kick was for in a civilized manner. If you're a hot-headed type, perhaps take a few minutes to cool off before going back to shout at the admin. Same goes for all interaction with the admins, act properly and you will most likely be received better.
Voted bans last for 1 hour. These cannot be lifted by admins and are automatically removed after the time is passed.
Admin bans can be either temporary (1 hour) or "permanent". Permanent does not mean permanent in most cases, usually it's a day or two. If you are in a rush or think you have been unjustly banned, post in EU or NA unban sections (read the first post and follow the rules). Again, civilized behavior might do you some good, raging/lying just prolongs the duration of the punishment.
Admins are human too, so mistakes can happen. We are terribly sorry for not being perfect and are working on replacing all players and admins with computers for optimal performance."
Hadn't even team-killed him. Severe?
Had I been kicked, or received a serious warning? No.
Admins make mistakes, it's true, but do they take accountability for them? No.
I'm aware my non-polite manner in which I have portrayed my case will give cause for negative responses but in my defence this is the third time this has happened to me, twice by Nuffen.
Months ago Nuffen kicked me for verbally attacking another player, I was in-fact again in a position where I was responding to another players provocation, I was being trolled and Nuffen didn't take any action until I started to respond to the troll whom was targeting me, and took action against me without even trying to understand the situation.
You get random players who don't understand the game properly, they think it's ok to go around team-killing their buddies because their buddies killed a horse which belonged to an enemy which they wanted, then you get admins who don't notice or seem to care about the negative behaviour and activities of these players, when you get a victim of these players taking matters into their own hands, that doesn't equate to revenge tking, more or less nothing more than tailgating and destruction of an enemy horse, suddenly admins attention is focused on the victim and the victim gets punished, but not fairly, unjustly harshly, by an admin who'd rather press buttons than ask questions, which to me is an example of clear abuse of powers, if they're prepared to ban an individual who's been a victim of severe rule breaking enacted by their own team-mate, then at least try to nip the problem at the source and not judging purely on your personal bias towards an individual and your arrogant belief that your actions were justified without taking into account the victims side of the story.
Nuffen you immediately came to the conclusion that I was the aggressor, you immediately came to the conclusion that banning me was the right course of action, you'd decided my crimes were severe enough to warrant a ban that could become perminent, based on watching me slash my sword at him, despite the fact I was 1 hit from death, despite the fact I had not killed him, despite the fact, he purposely killed me the previous round and despite the fact I was eventually forced to defend myself. I don't judge you as a person, I don't care what you do in person but when you take actions which affect the freedoms of another player, maybe it would be considerate to think for a minute about what you're about to do, it's part of being a better person right? Oh wait, I'm so horrible I don't deserve to be treated fairly eh? So I'm being judged from bias not from the situation.
