Unjust "Faker" bans on Blmaps
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2015 10:00 pm
This is a complaint towards the moderations rules in place in blocker servers, which are often observed in my experience, despite the lack of official ones.
Before you tell me to not denounce a moderator, but to settle in private about this matter, I intend this post to be about a general reform which would lead to a creation of a code of conduct for moderators, and players if possible, in blocker servers, and not just some petty conflict between a lost admin and a raging kid. I experienced this situation, and could not solve it through talk enough times to consider it an issue to be shared here.
Here is a quick retelling of the events, which situation should be familiar to many people.
A few minutes ago, I went to BlmapPepe.
I encountered someone named "Lisa. ", who I met long ago, as a helper of someone who was way-blocking me, while neither of them wanted to explain why they blocked me. I was new at the time, using a fresh name, so it must have been for "fun". Nothing spectacular. Therefore, since then, I block this "Lisa. ", who I consider of disregarding helper of way-blocker.
"Lisa. " herself seems to have a lot of helpers, when she herself is a helper who besides that, does nothing else but standing idle (probably waiting to help).
To counter this and avoid all her helpers, I called myself "Lisa ", which is the same nickname, without the ".". It worked, as I was able to face her more easily.
However, entered the admin or moderator online at the time, let's call him or her [Mod], who told me to change my name to stop faking.
Instead, I answered that if he wanted to moderate, but not be another helper of this Lisa spoiled girl, he should first mute all the people who insult, and ban all those who hard block and ruin the game, as to fairly impart judgement on everyone.
He explained me it is allowed to insult, but not to fake.
I said I was only using a combination of a common name and a classic smiley, which is a different name because of the lack of ".", and I was pretending to be her, by taking her place and talking to her friends as her for example. I asked him how he could know if I did not chose this name first on Teeworlds, and to check the logs if he really wanted to be thorough. As you can see, at this stage, I was playing on words, as it was clear I was partially faking Lisa, but I wanted to show him how much of a joke his trial was. To begin with, it is ludicrous to ban someone as a faker, when there is already an automatic system than numbers the same names in the format of "(n)...". It is just like voting against people for camping in zCatch, when there is a freezing system for what the game considers camping, and against spawnkilling in FNG, when you come all the way through the map, in a nest of enemies, where you can only freeze them, while they have their highest-point spikes here for receiving you...
As expected, he answered "I don't have time for this shit.".
He finally banned me for 5 minutes with reason "Faker.".
It's not finished!
When the ban time was elapsed, I came back, using the name "[Mod] = NoobMod".
I started telling him something like "YOU SAID I CAN INSULT, THEN YOU CAN'T BAN ME FOR SAYING YOU ARE WORST THAN ALL WB TOGETHER, YOU ARE REALLY A [censored long insult]"... Then I insulted Lisa, and one of her helpers who got in my way.
[Mod] stood idle for awhile, saying nothing, then finally banned me for "400 minutes".
EDIT: This happened on a r0x.fr server, however, I had similar problems, among others, on DDNet servers before they were closed.
There was a certain admin that would belittle, mute and kick people who displeased him... but that is probably finished, and was a more specific problem.
I know you moderators have "no time for this shit", but if you really have no time and don't want to moderate the chat, don't put a stupid anti-fake rule, that you only apply for preferential treatment.
People who attack the entire server often don't get banned, people who insult don't get banned (except for me, and anyone who insults an admin for too long), but some faker who dares use the holy name of a noble of the server gets rekt.
I also have "no time for this shit"; I don't want to put up with any more injustice and animosity. Even if I find these blocker servers riddled with problems, mostly because of their player community, I still try to play on it, because I like the gameplay, and I don't want to let the people who play unfair and with no respect always win. The moderators should also go this way, not the opposite.
I consider "faking" to be a strategy, and one of the only effective against a huge network of blockers that hard block and help each other.
In game, I try to be courteous to the other players as much as possible. However, when they ignore what I say and flame too much, I need to defend myself. The blocker servers are such a place.
I consider this case to be more wrong than people who attack the servers. At least, when the entire server is attacked, everybody is equally "blocked", and the hellish state that these Blmaps are often in is suspended for awhile.
Now, make a chart for these blocker servers, for moderators and players. I talked about it in this post: http://forum.ddnet.tw/viewtopic.php?f=4 ... 308#p22228
Also, don't ban me or censor me on this forum. Thanks.
