There is precedence for admins taking action when they feel they are being abused personally.
And a kick != a ban. Dave's been here a long time, and an admin a long time. To my knowledge, he doesn't have an apparent track record of abusing his admin privileges. I would hope that each admin is entitled to the benefit of doubt if they only have one or two publicly disputed bans a year. |

I'm too tired to post a coherent argument so I'll just blurt out whatever random shit comes to my mind. I support Dave, if someone's being a dick I don't mind him throwing out a kick to bring about order. It's just a kick and Don't be a dick is kind of a rule anyway. I guess I'm slowly seeing that being an admin means sometimes people will be mad no matter if you take action or not, so it's better to go with the one that makes playing more enjoyable for all. Hell I kicked a sandvich heavy today and people still complained. That's a spot on the losing team being taken up by a lump. Literally if you glued down the mouse 1 and w keys it'd still be more helpful to your team than that guy yet it's still questioned? It's not a power hungry thing damnit it's a "I'd rather give your team a decent shot instead of let someone circle jerk in spawn" thing.
So Dave did something. Rash, perhaps but it's not world shattering, the guy could reconnect and perhaps think about not being a dick sometime during the loading screen. Doesn't even warrant a mention imo. (05-10-2009, 07:39 PM)Radio Raheem link Wrote:in the straightest way possible i have to say honest is by far the best looking person here ![]() |

Also, none of these post's have featured neat stuff in them. Let's fix that :3 Hare Hare Yukai - Mario Paint Composer ^I know at least Corpse/Sandvich/Versus will enjoy that ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Yes, but imagine your out in the real world, in a shop per chance, and you feel like a clerk is mistreating you. Instead of getting in a fight with them about their supposed mistreatment, can't you see how you might instead choose to just take up with their manger? While I agree, in that hypothetical circumstance, you should at least make your intention know to the supposed perpetrator, if someone truly (and it seems like wrongfully) felt that you were abusing them with your admin privileges (again, from the facts presented I don't think you were at all) how they might be a bit intimidated to go up against you directly and call you out, and thus why they might report your supposed breach of conduct to a more in there mind accessible and impartial mediator instead? Belive it or not, your a big personality, and I think whoever it was may just have been a little afraid of you. And hell, call it cowardly if you want, but I can easily imagine myself in a similar situation (well, not the easily, as I really don't get into arguments with anyone >.<) and taking the course of action Mr. X (as I shall now dub him) did. Then again, I'm painfully shy and frightened by almost everyone upon meeting them, so take that for what you will >.< (Hell, I found the friendliest people like Fail and Surf intimidating at first, and Caff himself still intimidates me at times XD)

I'm not saying it's gone to shit because of anything Dave or anyone else did; I vented about this earlier in chat and I'm not going to vent about it again. There are other things that have been happening, publicly and otherwise, that have led me to my opinion. I am not going to hash it up here again, however. It isn't worth it.
