MasterP’s comments on the situation were awful and I even thought he was a very reasonable admin on the way he handled stuff in the past. You know maybe being on the outside looking in is different and I don’t play CS Source, but I just don’t stand for behavior of this manner from adults that are suppose to know better. :/ I really had a lot of respect for you MasterP on how you took situations lightly, but when you say stuff like “Just unban you? You don’t see why spamming is bad?” when I am pretty sure he knows it is bad, is asking to be unbanned, and saying sorry of the situation is immature. He understood his ban was for 30 minutes for spamming the server so if the 30 minutes are up don’t keep him banned and disrespect him. He did his time for the crime give it up. He does it again perma-ban him. Case closed.
For starters, just because I have the ABILITY to unban him doesn’t mean I have the AUTHORITY to unban him. It’s Lemm’s server and having people join the server while I’m playing SPECIFICALLY to ask me to unban him automatically makes me not go the extra mile to give a *edited*. Several admins complained to me about being spammed and annoyed by others about unbanning him. Both PK and the players know that only Lemm is officially allowed to unban but they didn’t care and kept hassling every admin they could find anyway. Now had he quiety messaged me or Lemm on Steam, explained the situation, and asked for an unban we’d have confirmed the ban length and then unbanned. As soon as you start spamming or abusing the server or its admins it elevates the situation to something beyond what I can unban for, especially when people are complaining on the forums about it.
Secondly, this is by far NOT the first time PK has been in hot water with the admins here. PK has a long track record of being a complete *edited* to admins when he doesn’t get his way so you’ll have to forgive us when we don’t really jump up to immediately rush to his aid when stuff like this happens, especially when he goes and does stuff he KNOWS *edited*es us off.
Lastly, I find it hard to believe you’d think me immature when he never apologized for spamming the server. “hahha sorry im bored as *edited*!” means that yeah he knew it was wrong and did it anyway because he didn’t have anything better to do. It’s not an apology, especially when the post ended in “hahahaha”.
You’ll have to forgive me for caring about earning your respect if the only way to do so is to tolerate and enable spammers. You don’t ever play with me so you don’t really know me. If how I don’t unban spammers is your measure of my character, you’ve got a lot to learn about my admin style and how “mature” and “reasonable” of an admin I am. Most of the people who have played with me in-game like me both as a player and an admin so I’d ask that before you jump to take the side of someone who constantly annoys the *edited* out of admins and ignores rules and warning (notice he was warned before being banned to begin with and ignored it) you might try putting the admins’ shoes on and walking around the block.
Now I have no idea why he was banned but right now it is my resposibility to maintain a working and stable server. Had I been in-game when he was spamming his IP would likely be on permaban for that because as a server op it’s my job to ensure spamming and abuse like that doesn’t happen. Now imagine if the TF2 server had been full and his spamming had caused them lag, would you then sit there and bash us for the actions we took or would it change things?
