Way too ban happy, will turn people away from the game
Is referencing this incident:
Warning/Ban request for GoD_Scrubby_TierI am flat-out going to state publicly that I will not change my stance for handling similar situations. As such, let me help the public on not being banned by me.
To avoid being banned by me, please Never Ever Revenge Team Wound. Please Never Ever Revenge Team Kill. Don't Grief Players. Let me provide you a pair of scenarios and provide outcomes:
Scenario 1:loverboi69 dismounted from a horse, you kill it thinking it is now a "loose dangerous horse" and then loverboi69 swipes at you because you killed his horse.
a.) You can swipe back, he then screen shots and reports you and on the forums all I see is you swinging at him, and there is
zero evidence and witnesses who say otherwise, of which I will ban you because
from an objective viewpoint all I see is you picking a fight.
b.) You report him and he gets the stick because
from an objective viewpoint all I see is him picking a fight.
Scenario 2:You later encounter loverboi69 in game, and he has been threatening to get you banned now for quite a few sessions.
a.) You can ignore him. I don't ban anyone because
from an objective viewpoint there is zero evidence of anyone violating the rules.
b.) You can decide to now circle him, punch him (sometimes even in the unarmoured face) and grief him for multiple spawns because this seems like a good idea to harass someone who has been publicly stating he wants to get you banned. You get the stick because
from an objective viewpoint you are acting like an asshole, especially when coupled with any previous behavior you may or may not have done. You then accuse the admin of favoritism and liking loverboi69 which due to your ridiculous accusations significantly lowers the chance of an appeal passing.(for truly, favoritism is the only reason for being banned, yes?).
I hope this will provide insight for the public to avoid being banned by me, and seeing how my brain works. For me, I would prefer players to choose Outcome B in Scenario 1, and Outcome A for Scenario 2.
Thank you, and have a terrific day.
