admin abuse within the server (Mrs. Moose)

2014-06-09 06:26 UTC

I've been playing in facewan on and off for about a year now and recently started playing again on the server a couple months ago. Tonight, me and a friend of mine (The57thPassengerOfTheMotherShip) were playing on the server and everything was going smoothly until the last 10 minutes before I was banned. All I was doing was typing and discussing with other players on the server. I was typing very lazily mostly because I didn't feel the need to type in a professional manner in a csgo surf server of all things when one of the admins on the server who goes by the alias of Mrs. Moose corrected me for the usage of "u" instead of "you". I then typed to her, "wow u corrected me nice". I was promptly muted a minute later (I believe she mean't to gag me). I wasn't harassing anybody or being a nuisance what so ever the whole time I was playing on the server. Another admin through rcon muted Mrs. Moose and I said "clearly ur upset over a very trivial matter" and got banned seconds later. Me and my friends are always playing on the server and have fun with all the players who come on (whether it be through friendly smack talk or socializing with the other players). I feel incredibly upset over this ordeal, and I feel like Mrs. Moose stepped over the line and abused the power admins have to prevent griefing and trolling over a completely asinine matter of not typing with proper grammar.

Other players in the server at the time and even the admin can vouch that I was in no way breaking any rules what so ever.

Uh no, you kicked me after you muted me and I rejoined. Please state other reasons regarding me being muted aside from what I posted. Iwasn't being a dick, or a troll, I was unjustly muted and kicked/banned.

You where indeed being annoying and a troll. but I want to know why you left right as you where muted? if you have been playing on facewan for a while you should know not to avoid a mute. oh and I kicked you because if you did not join right back then I did not need to ban you for 5 mins and have that ban on your account.
I could have made it longer because you did avoid a mute.

Like I stated previously, you kicked me after you muted me and I joined after that. The only examples I could give of me being sarcastic was when you corrected me and I replied in a sarcastic manner. I wasn't being a dick, or trolling. Even the other admin felt that the mute was excessive. Check the logs, you'll see that you kicked me and I rejoined. Ask any of the other players what was going on rofl. You can't really justify this. The only other time I said anything to you was when you were complaining about the registry and I told you my registry is fine so it might have to do something with you.

Are you joking or are you using mental gymnastics in an attempt to make it seem like I was in the wrong here? Check the logs ROFL. Ask anybody else who was in the server. You must not have a very high tolerance for socialization considering I was muted for slight sarcasm. I clearly remember being muted, saying "nice admin abuse" and seeing comments from that hiimdaisy person saying "lol admin is mad" or something similar to that. rofl this is unbelievable.

This all seems like a load of crap without any proper evidence like a console log, demo or a screenshot.
Besides, the ban was only for five minutes so we really can't argue much about that.
I'd understand that having a ban on your record isn't very nice but a five minute ban isn't going to count for anything if you were to get banned multiple times in the future where counting your bans becomes a thing.
As for Foxy here, if what quest says is true and he indeed didn't do much other than sarcastically talking or avoiding a mute for the first time then I think a ban would push it too far in my opinion.
Now let's face it, every admin might be different when it comes down to how short their temper is and what they would justify as a ban or not.
If someone is being a shit, you could at least confront them first by telling them directly to stop doing so or face the consequences but from what I've read here you've gone and mute/kick the person straight away which isn't as helpful as it seems.
With that I'd want you both to know that if you have something else to say then please do contact me either through Steam or the forum private messages.
