*In my book
you are a VIP player franky. I really don't differentiate, but generally expect better behavior from players that know the rules.
I recall having warned you that I would ban you if you continue your practice of sitting around in spec 24/7.. It's true that the last one was a short ban of a few hours or so. (Yes I agree, long time ago, but still)
Here is my POV on the situation:
I log on EU1 primetime on a saturday. 10 spectators, full server. I wonder if franky is there, scroll down, and there you were, like you seem to be always whenever I check. I'm sure other admins can confirm your habit. Not because they are my friends (which they are not really. I'm rarely in IRC. I know them as well as any other active player), not because I'm asking for support.
I know it might have seen random and a bit brutal out of the blue, but this was the drop in a huge tank that made it flow over. The thing is there is no way to warn you when you are not there. Perhaps it was a bit sudden and harsh, in that case I am sorry. Still though,
you are not that innocent here. I'm tired of kicking you, of spending my time warning you. I'm also thinking about all the players that don't get to play or have to wait because of you..
FYI im suggesting a rule change to deal with this. Doubt it will be taken in though, because there are not that many using spec or keeping cRPG on all the time blocking slots. You are unique in this sense.
