Nachos And Juicebox Ban Appeal.

[hobowithrpg]

-Date you were banned

About a month ago.

-Time (Guess if you don't remember)

Probably around 1pm-4pm

-What Server

Nachos and Juicebox (all other Servers banned as well)

-Why you believe you got banned.

Got Perma-banned By A Admin on the other team for saying "Pron and/or hentai", doubt it was for being in the Secret room...Cause 2 others were with me.

-Who Banned You

I Didn't see, But my Friend Said It was Theowningone.

-Steam ID or GUID

STEAM_0:1:9126040

What ever I was saying to get banned Was that bad, I don't think I was talking about anything Illegal or wrong...I don't even remember, But the thing that Really ticks me off is that he could hear our conversations without all-talk... *Whispers: Cheeeeater...* Anyway, Appealin' my ban.

Thanks for taking a Look, hope I can get some good Explanation.

Yes, I omitted a lot of your post from my quote but I did so just to highlight a few phrases. I have in no way changed the context. [/small print]


A) Saying the words "Pron" or "Hentai" by themselves would not earn you a ban and I highly doubt the admin would ban you for saying them without some context to go with them.

B) Last I checked, admins are selected to watch the server and make sure the rules are obeyed, not make the players happy, and being able to everyone's voice chat allows them to monitor the server without having to constantly switch teams.



This ban will be lifted on 12/05/08.

Well I guess that makes Sense, But I'm 100% Sure I was In no way breaking a rule or Anything On a Perma-Ban level offense.

Anyway, Thanks For listening, And Appealing my ban.

Tho with the Super ban Sensitive Admins On these Servers, I best talk In Ventrilo.

Statements like that hold the potential for your ban to be restored. It is presumptuous of you to label our admin team as "super ban sensitive."

Reborn Gamers runs many servers for many different games, most of which follow a "Nachos & ________" nomenclature. They run the #1 ranked UT2004 server in the world, which I believe is Nachos & Beer (sorry if that's inaccurate, I'm not a UT player). Nachos & Juicebox, our Empires server, was ranking #4 of all Half-Life 2 servers as of last night.

Clearly we want to aim to provide "the best" gaming experience on each server.

I personally don't think that you would/should be banned for saying the words "porn" or "hentai." However, in our report thread for you, the logs show other messages from you that are quite distasteful and that I would deem worthy of a time ban, had I been the admin dealing with your case.

You can pretty well count on not being banned unless you: grief in any way, flame others, use racial/ethnical slurs, or blatantly disrespect an admin or argue the rules.

Those are pretty standard guidelines from server to server (even for non-RG sponsored Empires servers). I'm an admin on 1 or 2 other Empires servers, so I can attest to several of their policies.

All in all, I hope you will find that you like Nachos in the end. It is "one of" if not "the" most actively administrated Empires server. Most of the other Empires servers sit idle or have no admins and that is where griefers, exploiters, and asshats reign supreme. The other servers have admins who actively grief/cheat or let players run wild.

Administration in Empires is quite a challenging task - I've been an admin of many things, but Empires is the most challenging, on an interpersonal level at least. So, please try not to label us.

See you in game.

I Speak of Steam Servers In-General, I got Perma-ban for Shooting my gun In a room...That out of all 14 Identical rooms I was not allowed to shoot my gun in...without Warning I was Banned... So yeah, I believe Source engine Has a Rage Hormone or something.

Anyway I wouldn't Target anyone of this Team for frankly I've never Seen an Active admin on...Except this once. Oh my luck.
