    You're saying blind folds can't be accessed in game but only by admins? Are you stupid?

    No. He is accusing me of using the Guardian Crate NVG's. @ImProd as I told you last night, after you got salty because you were kidnapped and started calling everyone names (Great Look for the APD btw) they can be obtained by ANY player who buys guardian keys and they do not have thermal mode. But, because I am an admin and in game I must be hacking, teleporting, spawning in things that aren't in the game etc. Ask ANY of the DS guys I was with how much shit I actually spawned. That is a big fat 0. I went to rebel with them, purchased my own shit. The ONLY thing I did that normal players cant is turning our ifrit pink because it was fun to drive around in a pink ifrit. 

    But your mind is already made up. So there is no convincing you with facts and the like. Also, have you ever been in a boat? The throttle stays in the same spot after you set it. You dont have to keep pressing it like a cars gas pedal. So me jamming it open and bailing out of the boat is well within the realm of real world application.

  2. If you think it might be a sketchy situation, then record. If you follow the rules then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Also, if they do record and report but it isn't a rule violation you will be fine. As stated, just make sure you initiate properly, and if you feel that what you did might look questionable to the other party hit the record button.

    Gnashes told me that the reason they won't do another modded server is that if the Asylum staff doesn't have control over when the mods were updated then the dev's of the mods used would update them at random times, rendering any server using those mods unplayable unless Bamf or Paratus can update the mods for the server.

     

    ^^^This. If a mod updates at zero dark thirty and none of the devs are around to update it then all the players are stuck not being able to get on for however long it takes to update it. 

  4. @CrossFade the penalty for CL'ing has been increased to deal with this exact issue. And as for the other RDM's and such again, we do what we can. If we talk to the person and they appear to be genuine then we will lift it 9/10 times. And I suspect that you would want that same level of empathy towards you if you are banned. The trouble is sometimes players mistake our kindness for weakness and continue to commit server rule violations. When the reports come in we check our notes on their account and if we see a pattern we adjust ban lengths and ban lift potential accordingly. It is a very dynamic and case by case system because one size doesn't fit all I'm afraid.

    message him on the forums, if he doesnt respond, ban

    What about people who's in game name is different from their forum name? What if they played under a different name that time? How do we find them on the forums? Then, how long do we wait for them to respond? 

     

    I'm not trying to shoot you down at every turn. I am just saying that there are a lot of different factors and trying to take care of bans in a timely fashion is our top priority. 

  6. The trouble with that @Das Otter is how long do we try to get a hold of you? If one admin takes it on, then the others cant talk to you about it since that admin is doing the report. What if you are gone? Or he is gone? Then the report sits undone for days/weeks because you are playing forum/ts tag. We go on the evidence provided and make our decisions based on that and our previous experiences dealing with bans. Do we get it wrong sometimes? Sure! We are only human. But we do the best we can.

    Except that's the problem, I can't even tell you how many times people got banned, went to an admin and got unbanned and then did the exact thing.  Some people even laugh it off and say shit like "See you in three days" because they aren't afraid of the repercussions what so ever.  

    That is why we put notes on accounts. If we see them popping up again for the same thing right after a ban is lifted, the time in increased and the chances of a lift are severely decreased.
