This uses as much common sense as starting a verbal fight with a cop or high level deskpusher... Of course this got you in trouble.
Don't be a giant douchebag and people won't be one right back.
I have never been banned in any game ever. Why? Because I don't poke the bear, and can have fun without breaking rules or starting trouble (or I am a God at getting away with it). Even with so-called badmins or corrupt mods, I have never landed in trouble.
Keep your mouth shut and don't cause fights with Admins, and you won't get bitch slapped.
In my experience, this is an extremely easy thing to do...
