Oh my, here we go again. OK, let's see if we can break all this down and get it straightened out.
I have a Permanent Ban for "Threatening Skial admins?" I don't remember this. I have the utmost respect for Skial and the real admins.
You sent me a private message titled "u'M GONNA SEXPOSE YOUR ASS" with the following:
TYOU FUCKING HACKING PIECE OF SHIT., YHOU UNFAIR BANNING SACK OF SHIT.
I WASN' SSPAMMING YOU GUYS FUCKING TRY TO SILENCE ME BECAUS EIM BETER A TA VDEI GAME THAN YOU? WHAT TEH FUCK? I AM THE MOST RESPECTFUL MEMBEROF THIS COMMNUTY OGING ON 10 YEARS AND YOU'E OGNNA FUCKING SILENCE ME BECAUE IM DOING BETTER THAN YOU ON A FUCKIMG PYATYLOAD MAP?
FUCKING BUNBANM ME OR THERE WILLBE HELL TO PAY. ILL COME TO YOUR FUKCING HOUSE AND FUCKING MAKE TYOU BUNBAN ME TYOU EPICE O SHIT.
The last line is the relevant one, threatening to come to my house and through whatever means make me unban you. The fact that you were not banned at this point, only silenced, is beside the point. Then there are also the quotes that KinCryos pointed out above with several threats of bashing our physical servers with a baseball bat. Sounds like threats against the servers and an admin (me) to me.
Yeah that didn't take place on a server though?
Skial rules are community rules, not just for the server.
I just don't like being treated like garbage from ABUSIVE administrators who ban people for no reason.
I'm not sure about your other interactions, but if this is referring to your previous appeal thread, I thought I gave a pretty civil (albeit snarky) reply. If you come at us with attitude, you'll get attitude back. However, I think it was a far cry from treating you like garbage.
These servers used to be awesome and now every time I play on them there's some admin abusing their powers left and right.
Would you care to elaborate and give specifics? Given the number of players we host daily, and the extremely low number of punishments we issue in that same time period, I'm inclined to think this is a bit of an exaggeration.
instead of researching the problem with your abusive administrators who ban and mute people for no reason, you furthermore silence me permanently?
You were never silenced permanently. All this started with your week silence, and ended up with a permanent ban. You are absolutely free to post here in the forums if you feel an admin has abused their powers and let the community chime in with their opinions.
I apologize if you think I'm against Skial, that's no the case. I'm against the trolls and moles of the skial admins and they need to be weeded out.
I can't speak for everyone, but I never felt you were against Skial, and I'm glad you're against the trolls, so are we. If you feel an admin has done something wrong, please bring it to our attention
in a civil manner and we'll be happy to look into it. We don't hide things, if someone has been punished just ask why and we'll come right out and give our reasoning behind it, so you should never feel like we are using our powers without cause.
I know Skial is a private community and there's no freedom of speech, but this is going a little too far
On the contrary, we allow plenty of freedom of speech and frown upon a relatively tiny amount of things.
I complain about abusive admins and you ban me?
Nope. As stated above, you were banned for your threats, which are against the rules.
I go to report it on the forums and the admins just tell me I'm crazy and making shit up, even though it's clearly the case that I can't talk or speak on the servers. So one night, I had enough and made a post trying to get the abusive admin banned. They could not give me any reason why they muted me that time, just a bunch of shit about "Racism" that I never even did. It didn't matter because I was already "punished" for that and was told I couldn't refer to a hacking clan, which, I think has infiltrated these servers. So, I stopped using their clan name because apparently people think it's racist even though hackers aren't a "race" but whatever. I stopped using the word.
I had to go dig through your previous posts to see what all this was. That particular clan has a racist term in their name, and we don't need people using that as an excuse to say that word. It's against the rules, and we also don't need people getting curious about hacks because then they will actually go find them, use them, get caught, get banned, then try to appeal saying it wasn't them, and it's just a big headache. Better to not even talk about it and save everyone a lot of grief. If you feel that particular clan has come on and hacked, feel free to record some evidence and report them.
I go on the forums and they say that someone reported me for "Spam." Even though on the server I see no such thread. The "spam" that was referred to was some end of round bullshit that EVERYONE does. I wasn't advertising Kraft Mac and Cheese or any shit like that. Plus, Skial has an anti-spam filter anyway.
As it was pointed out to you in a different thread, there does not have to be a thread on the forum for someone to be reported. I frequently have people message me on steam with things like "Hey are you busy? I think there's a hacker in here." or "Hey there's someone being racist on the mic, can you come take care of it?" As for "everyone" spamming, the server chat logs don't go back that far but I remember looking at them and nobody was spamming a wall of text like you were. Do you honestly feel that

is not spam? Looking back at your previous posts, I know you think if you do it all in one line it doesn't count as spam, and in that same thread you were told it is spam; you only have to say something once. I'll reiterate that here:
once is enough. 7 repetitive lines in 15 seconds is absolutely spam. Also, our anti-spam filter only stops you from posting the
exact same message twice within about a second. It's not some complex algorithm looking for patterns or similarities, and it doesn't know if you're just repeating the same thing on a line.
Regardless, I go to the forums to complain some more, and I basically get bullied and harassed by some abusive admins who keep trying to silence me because I'm complaining about them.
So, what do I get for pointing out the facts and the evil admins? Permabanned. Sorry, I can't fucking speak my mind when I'm being bullied?
As far as I can tell, you've never been bullied; you just have had people not agree with you. You seem to think you are infallible, always right, and everyone else is always wrong.
Please, do tell me how I deserve a permanent ban for trying to fucking defend myself?
What? Defending yourself against what? You spammed, got silenced, appealed, got turned down, and instead of taking your week
silence (which you kept insisting was a ban), you threatened me and our servers. That's why you're banned.
But nah, let's just let admins ban whoever they don't fucking like like immature babies. That's cool.
I see you're not taking my advice about appealing with humility instead of an attitude...
How the fuck is that bannable? You threaten and bully me but I can't threaten and bully back? Nice double-standard.
Per our rules:
- Threatening to attack Skial servers or credible threats against Skial staff.
You don't have a server for us to threaten (not that we ever would) and we wouldn't threaten you either, despite what you may think, so there is no double standard there.
Notice how some asshole just votes my post as "Troll." I'm being fucking serious. You guys have a serious problem within your administrators.
Based on this and some of your other previous posts, you care *WAY* too much about a stupid simple thing like a forum post rating system. It's just a fun little thing to add to the forum; it has no bearing on you, your life, us, our opinions, or pretty much anything else.
Regardless, if I don't hack and I don't advertise cheats, and I don't constantly spam all the time, I don't understand why I'm not allowed to play normally on these servers?
You were still able to play on the servers until you went off the handle and started making threats. You were only silenced, all you had to do was wait a week and you could have communicated again. Saying that because you don't spam all the time you should be able to go about your business is like telling a cop that because you don't speed all the time he shouldn't give you a ticket.
This is turning out way longer than I wanted it to be, so for those of you following along in the peanut gallery I apologize. As for you WSE, I can't tell if you just have a huge sense of entitlement, didn't get enough spankings as a child, or are genuinely paranoid. Regardless, you seem to have some issues to work out, anger being among them. Do you really not see anything wrong with what you did? Even a little bit?
You seem like a decent enough person, and I feel like you want nothing but the best for this community, but you just have some misguided tendencies that take you off track. I'm open to talking this out and seeing what sort of resolution we can come to, so take some time, gather your thoughts, put them in a
single post, and let's see if we can have a civil discussion without a lot of attitude or blame. Try to see things from our perspective, we're just a handful of people trying to keep the community in tip top shape, but we're not perfect either. I can assure you though, we are not out to get anyone, ruin anyone's day, or abuse power. We would be thrilled to never have to deal with another report because everyone was being nice, civil, and following the rules. Alas, this is the internet, TF2 is free to play, and being able to hide behind a monitor brings out the worst in people.
Anyway, I've spent over two and a half hours looking over past posts, reading, referencing, researching, and writing this; I'm tired. I look forward to your reply but don't go nuts with the posts if I don't get back to you right away. Remember, this is the digital equivalent of a cork board, a push pin, and a piece of paper. Have a good morning/afternoon/evening/night.
