Obtuse
Then you yourself being server admin,(in a round-about way), admit YOU don't know the entire story because you couldn't be bothered to listen to it?
I'm sorry I know I'm old but explain it to me like I'm a second grader........how can you organize an event on our forums, use our mumble, involve our members and call them "outsiders"?
Only reason I started this thread was that Viper asked me to say goodbye to some of the old school regs for him, and I felt a wrong had been done to a fellow member.
And if you'd have bothered to read the original post or the whole thread for that matter, you'd know that.
And once again I feel his reaction is a bit over the top to all this but it's not him that started this shit storm.
I see now that the wrong has several permutations depending on who's story you listen to.
Rich, at no point did I say I don't know the whole story. What I did say is that if the account of the situation that has been told by people in this thread is indeed accurate information would have done the same thing
I'm not obtuse but the word I am does start with "ob" -- objective. Of course I don't have anything to go by except what's been said in this thread, but if he was warned for disrupting a round he was not part of, kicked, and then given a 30 ban to keep him out of this round but allow him in the next round... I don't see the problem.
There may have been a communication breakdown that I'm not aware of having not actually been there, but multiple people said the same thing.
I love Viper like a bro but that doesn't mean he can disrupt an organized game be it on a Skial server or otherwise. If I had been there and this was a Skial server I would have reacted the same way.
As I've said several times, emotions can't play into being an admin, be they positive or negative. I have kicked regulars for infractions before. It usually doesn't get past that since the regulars are fairly you level headed. My point is that nobody gets favortism from me. Disruption and rule breaking doesn't change with the tag in your username.
Once I see him online I'm going to talk to him. I don't want him to go and I agree he's massively overreacting. I'm sure I can talk him down off the ceiling.
