Tent duping

[ZTrainz 21]

First of all, if you consider ignorant an insult, I suggest you get off the internet now before it's too late and your feelings get hurt even more. Heck, I suggest you go move to a lonely deserted island just to make sure you don't get offended.

Come on honey, do you really think I'm that bothered by it? The only reason I even labeled it was because someone else falsely accused me of slinging mud first. I didn't but I did do it a little better. I'll bet that's not the only thing I do better than your husband. ;)

Second, have you bothered reading the entire thread including other threads I've quoted regarding the same issue? I even said I would have been fine with a ban for CDing (reading fail again) but that's not what it is about. It's about every single player who gets close to their camp getting banned. Regardless of whether an admin is on the server or not. Also they don't just approve any thread in that section. You have to have quite the proof for them to publish your thread.

I did read it and all the related threads. They're all long on accusation and short on proof. You posted your version of the story and a screenshot of the ban notice. It should have occurred to you that you were banned solely for combat Alt-F4. The fact that you were looting their tents is probably irrelevant.

I also like how you refuse to acknowledge that there are plenty of admins who enjoy a power trip. Why don't you go to that server, go find their camp, see what nice people they are. Don't be confused though when you join and all you see is people with LLTS tags, that's just a coincidence, clearly, since those admins couldn't do any wrong.

Been there, done that, stole the ghille suit to prove it and didn't get banned. Although I didn't Alt-F4 and I didn't try to log on with an AS50 TWS, so that's probably why I didn't get banned.

What does the clan tag have to do with anything? There's tons of servers out there that are home to clans. So one of their members witnessed your alt-f4 and reported it. I don't see why that's any different from a random player reporting the same thing and the admin deciding to take action.

Sure, the admins could be on a power trip but I think it's much more likely that hackers and exploiters are getting pissed off that an admin actually took a stand and banned them for not playing the game how it was intended.

PS: While alt+f4 might be a cheap way of playing, last time I checked it wasn't a ban worthy offence. So, boohoo.

Evidently it is on this server. Boohoo back.

Yeah, I can tell you are absolutely not bothered by it. That's totally believable.

It should have occurred to you that you were banned solely for combat Alt-F4. The fact that you were looting their tents is probably irrelevant.

Again, alt+f4 is not a bannable offense. Just cos some people with the power get their knickers in a knot over it doesn't mean anyone should get banned over it. People have done it to me countless times, big deal. Please explain in your infinite wisdom why all the other people got banned? All hackers in disguise? All of them CDers? Please do enlighten me.

Yeah, obviously I posted my story, my version of the events, not sure what else I would do. I backed it up with other people complaining about the same. I've had people post in the thread that had the same happening, again regardless of whether there was an admin on or not. I can hardly go back to a server I'm banned on to make a video of what I'm doing and the aftermath of my actions, now can I?

Not sure where the hacked weapon assumption comes from but since it's your goal to make an ass out of yourself, you have just gotten closer to that goal. Maybe go back to that server later, when they've had time to look at the logs and try again... or they've noticed my thread and are behaving for a month or two... or maybe you never went.

What does the clan tag have to do with anything?

A public server entirely populated with clan members and maybe one or two randoms the majority of the time is slightly fishy. You may disagree, it certainly would not surprise me.

There's tons of servers out there that are home to clans. So one of their members witnessed your alt-f4 and reported it. I don't see why that's any different from a random player reporting the same thing and the admin deciding to take action.

*sigh* There are rules for the servers, there are rules regarding what admins can ban people for and what not. Combat disconnecting while annoying is still not a bannable offense. Hard to grasp isn't it? Go read server hosting rules.

Sure, the admins could be on a power trip but I think it's much more likely that hackers and exploiters are getting pissed off that an admin actually took a stand and banned them for not playing the game how it was intended

Exploiting is not bannable. Hacking is, carrying hacked items is not. You can't even get banned for carrying hacked items, just kicked. Get over it, you and those admins. And feel free to enlighten me with your version of "How the game was intended to be played", I'm sure it will be a bestseller.

Evidently it is on this server. Boohoo back.

Then they are breaking hosting rules and need to be blacklisted and removed. You can't just pick and choose rules you want to follow.

My god, it's more entertaining talking to a wall. It doesn't cost me as many braincells either.

I was bothered by it for a few seconds. Never said I wasn't (evidently you have the same reading comprehension problem as your husband - PLEASE don't procreate have a child, I beg you). Then I realized how obtuse your husband is and I got over it.

Again, alt+f4 is not a bannable offense.

Are you banned from that server? Yes? Then I rest my case.

Just cos some people with the power get their knickers in a knot over it doesn't mean anyone should get banned over it. People have done it to me countless times, big deal. Please explain in your infinite wisdom why all the other people got banned? All hackers in disguise? All of them CDers? Please do enlighten me.

I have no idea about any of them except you. I'm not the admin of that server. Maybe a few of those people were banned by accident. If it was really that big of an issue, don't you think there would be more than a dozen or so people complaining in the two months that server has been up?

Yeah, obviously I posted my story, my version of the events, not sure what else I would do. I backed it up with other people complaining about the same. I've had people post in the thread that had the same happening, again regardless of whether there was an admin on or not.

Nope, you can't go back there. But even if you could, how would you prove they banned you for thievery? It's pretty obvious that you were banned for the Alt-F4 that you admit to. Pretty stupid thing to do in front of the clan that likely runs the server.

Not sure where the hacked weapon assumption comes from but since it's your goal to make an ass out of yourself, you have just gotten closer to that goal.

They don't allow illegitimate weapons. Says so in the server join messages. I know this because I've regularly played on that server for weeks. It's actually one of the more hacker free public servers.

By the way, I think that's rather arrogant to suggest your whining had any effect on the behavior of that(those) admin(s).

A public server entirely populated with clan members and maybe one or two randoms the majority of the time is slightly fishy. You may disagree, it certainly would not surprise me.

Such a situation could also indicate a severe level of hacking, illegitimate weapons and exploiting in the community. Then you've got all the players that won't jump on a clan server 'cause they don't have the stones for it.

*sigh* There are rules for the servers, there are rules regarding what admins can ban people for and what not. Combat disconnecting while annoying is still not a bannable offense. Hard to grasp isn't it? Go read server hosting rules.

I've read 'em and they're the one of the reasons hacking continues to be a huge problem. Why do you think private hives have become so popular? Because those rules tie the admins' hands.

But back to your situation... Rocket has identified combat logging as an exploit. Per the rules "You are permitted to kick or ban for cheating/hacking/exploiting that is affecting players in a server-disruptive way, providing you have solid evidence." The "server-disruptive" part is open to interpretation but I'd say that the admin has a case here, given how pervasive this practice is. There probably was log evidence of it but since you openly admitted it, I see little need for that.

Exploiting is not bannable. Hacking is, carrying hacked items is not. You can't even get banned for carrying hacked items, just kicked. Get over it, you and those admins. And feel free to enlighten me with your version of "How the game was intended to be played", I'm sure it will be a bestseller.

Then they are breaking hosting rules and need to be blacklisted and removed.

Exploiting is bannable. They prefer that you don't ban for carrying hacked weapons but stop short of actually prohibiting it. Have you read the hosting rules???

Don't cry because ONE admin had the balls to call out your exploitative gameplay even though it may have put his/her server at risk. I applaud this type of banning by admins and I'm sure there are many, many others on this forum who would agree.

You can't just pick and choose rules you want to follow.

LOL, this coming from an admitted combat logger!

My god, it's more entertaining talking to a wall. It doesn't cost me as many braincells either.

Sorry about those braincells, I know you don't have that many to spare.
