Unjustified Permaban from ADMIN:Gnome.

flycrippin

Hello,
As you all know, with my high profile in the server, I have been watched by all of the admins and moderators for the past couple of months and I know it hasn't been pretty. Today, I was permabanned by Gnome, no justification besdies my "harrassment" towards other players. My actions went as following: I would lockpick homes, break locks, take drugs/money printers, and of course the occasional shit talking. I believe all of that is a part of the game and does not justify a permaban on a player who has spent countless amount of hours on the server and has even hosted drops for the noobs. I personally believe what Gnome did was out of spite and immaturity. Gnome has taken actions on me through Muting/Gagging, which is completely fine with me. However, I personally would like to see some action taken from moderators higher up and settle this in a more mature and reasonable way.

If not, then no more Crip I guess. :-[

Thank you for your time,
fat Cuzz

Permaban was a too big of a punishment perhaps. Shit talking from time to time is fine however harassment isn't. There's a fine line between the both. As I don't play the server as often as I wish I could, I cannot say that Gnome's actions were incorrect. Gnome's position within our community is the community manager. As a person with a such high role, I believe his actions were appropriate to the problem. However I would like to hear both sides of the story and not just from you, I want to see what Gnome has to say. In the end it will be either his or MyBacks choice whether or not you should be unbanned, for now stay with the ban and take it as a temporary punishment and wait patiently until this gets sorted out on the forums/meetings.

Sounds fair to me.

Just some food for thought since you did mention it...
Do you really want a community manager to acts off of emotions like that? I don't think that's healthy.
Personally, after dealing with myBack much more often than Gnome, I can say that myBack and never done anything remotely close me to questioning his intentions. As a moderator, you are supposed to keep a good balance and mediate conflicts that erupt.

Banning, kicking multiple times, muting/gagging out of spite because of your salted personality? Woah der Gnome... :o

[member=545]flycrippin[/member] Like I said, I don't know what happened or how he reacted apart from the permban, something must of triggered him to do so, we can only wait to see his response.

Correct. He is a FORUM Moderator, therefore he should mediate the conflicts that erupt solely on the forums.

I APOLOGIZE FOR MY JOKE EARLIER.
OBVIOUSLY IT WAS AN EFFORT TO KEEP THINGS A LITTLE LESS SERIOUS IN LIGHT OF WHAT IS GOING ON.

You just got permabanned why would anyone consider you for a community manager.

If you're not going to take this seriously why should we take your application seriously? Lol mate, jog on, you got pbanned for a reason. I'm starting to find out slowly for what reason(s). Last thing you want to do now is to shit post.

It was obviously a light joke. Being that it's hard to sense tone over forums, I understand where you are coming from.
Just trying to bring a little positivity into this chat in light of all the negativity going on... I apologize.

I like that response. Just testing how you would react. You seem very mature in my eyes.

I was referring to my post on "CRIP 4 NEW COMMUNITY MODERATOR" when I said it's a light joke. Anyways, I rob from those who did wrong to me first. Otherwise I'm quite helpful towards new players because I like seeing the community grow. Especially when older, more mature players play for their first time. I do not RDM noobies. I'd probably be broke if I made a habit out of that, no?

I'm having trouble coming up with something to say without being disrespectful and immature so all I will say is that I do not agree with this permaban and I think that lifting it would be a hell of an idea.
