Skial has been one of my favorite communities to play on for a long time. The overall skill and attitude of the players was superb. However after today I have no intention of playing on any skial server again. After an admin began to complain about us playing engi or heavies with sandwiches we took it as just being a little mad and continued to play normally. The admin proceeded to kick one of our friends who was playing boxing glove heavy and sticky jumping around. After we asked why he was kicked he responded kicking and banning the rest of us. These admins Chuckwagon and Sarcasm both give skial a bad name, and I hope for the sake of others trying to have fun that our bans be lifted. In the future I would like the admins to give warning before banning or kicking us. I want skial to be a fun gaming community that people can have fun on free from stupid condescending admins that ban people for just trying to have fun on the weekend. The following link is from the admins aforementioned who banned us for a day and refused to hear out our arguments. Please read this for I am an apt supporter of skial and want it to be the best gaming community with great admins that hear everyone out for all there problems.
 
Read the rules.

Harming your team for an extended period of time.
ex. blocking sniper views, teleporter traps, refusing to help advance your teams position.
 
Yea, I didn't know dispensing sandvichs to help your team defend was a bannable offense. I was banned for "Refusing to help advance your team position." How is this so, if I was defending, healing people with sandvichs?
 
Voll, you sat in spawn on the locker dispensing sandviches to a scout who was using the Boston Basher to hurt himself.
 
Pubs are pubs for a reason and it's pretty unreasonable to expect the players to go hardcore tryhard the entire time they play. Does it really harm the experience of other players if one or two players slack off for a game or two? What if someone goes rocket jumper the entire game and doesn't get any kills? Or plays a really bad spy or sniper?

I've done this before on a Lotusclan server and instead of being banned out of nowhere, I got a warning from an admin that was clear on the screen to stop. When these guys got banned, they were already playing properly and they just got banned out of nowhere without any warning.
No matter the server, there's always one or two players who's goofing off, whether it be a friendly heavy or sticky jumper demoman. If you guys really want to improve the community just talk to the players nicely and ask them to stop instead of just banning people one by one for trying to have fun.

No one was really complaining nor asking these guys to stop either. Looking at the pictures it seems like most of the times, the team that won was on the same team as these "griefers". Whenever I see one team rolling another team, I see the winning and losing team both goof off all the time. Should you ban those guys too? In all honesty all it really seems like is this Mordy got was pissed that he went full hardcore mode in a pub and didn't get the top score he always wanted.

The rule says "for an extended period of time" - personally as an admin I let people spycrab or screw off for a bit. But when it goes on for more than one round... it's time for action. I usually give a warning first though. We don't care if people aren't tryhards, of course it is a pub. I play plenty of games with trolldiers and demoknights and none of them are being banned because they aren't pretending to be in platinum. They are having fun and playing the game.

It's pretty simple. Sitting in spawn farming point = not helping. Pushing cart with a sticky jumper = helping.

EDIT: In addition, if you want to screw around like that you can go to idle or trade. It's expected that people make some effort to play the game in a normal game server. It's also not required for an admin to give warnings and not our fault if you don't take it upon yourselves to read the rules.
 
Ruining other peoples fun? Honestly half the people on the server dont even care when someone does that. If you want correct team composition and co-ordination, play a lobby or a pug. That is what they are there for. Skial servers are the lowest common denominator,these servers exist to farm points by feeding sandwhiches whether you like to admit it or not, and to be frank it is quite silly to ban someone who is not verbally abusing people in some way or another.
 
Skial servers are my favorite too. That is why I applied to be an admin on them. I want Skial to be a fun gaming community that people can have fun on free from stupid, griefing players. The vast majority of people come to our servers to play the game of TF2 not play the game of farming points.They want to cap points and win, and that is hard to do while members of their team are sitting it spawn throwing sandwiches at each other. You were harming your team for an extended period of time. Your team was basically playing shorthanded. That is not fair to them. If you want to goof off and farm points go to an idle or trade server. Skial has an idle (46.21.154.178:27015) and many trade servers to choose from http://stats.skial.com/stats/hlstats.php?game=tftrade

So take a day off from Skial and play on some other servers. You are welcome to come back tomorrow and follow the rules. Those rules and our enforcement of the rules is one of the biggest reasons why people like playing here.
