    3. Reason you were banned:
    Vocalizing that I didn't agree with a admin's opinion.

    4. Why you should be unbanned:
    Read (5) before considering why.

    5. Any other information you would like to include:
    Do you know why there exists the vote mute option? Well, the reason I believed y'all implemented it was votemute/kick/ban system was so that players could have the ability to do it themselves.

    So, someone plays some mic-spam (music) on one of the servers, and everyone is actually enjoying it. So another player starts with his too and then another. Its all in good fun and not to annoy. Of course, a mod comes in, mutes them all. Two people ask for unmutes, mod refuses to. Eventually, he does unmute me and the original micspammer, Mil.

    Sure, how the first guy reacted after getting unmuted was to continue mic spam, but I simply laughed at the mod when he banned the other guy. The way the mod (don't know his name, not important enough to remember) behaved however unacceptable.

    There is no such thing as black and white here folks; not everyone who starts playing music over the microphone is aimed at trolling. Aside from that, some people enjoy it, and those that don't have a mute option and a vote ability for global muting. Gamers are going to have fun, and limiting how they do makes the game less fun for all.

    Aside from that, the moderator who handled the issue was not a "mature" admin you were looking for. No vocal warnings, no reading the intent, just an insta mute. A good moderator is suppose to remain neutral and assess the situation before blindly running into something. Even if something violates the rules, that should be considered. Was anyone annoyed, was the intent malicious, was anything gained after the judgement was passed? No no no.

    You can unban Mil if you want (didn't know him before, not going to send him a friendrequest after). You can also unban me or lengthen it indefinitely. Either way, I probably won't be revisiting your servers for a while. If this is the kind of administration conduct yall allow, its obviously not a place for gamers who just want to have fun.

    Thank you for your time.

    Inventory:

    Vote mute/kick/ban is there for the sole purpose to allow players to handle abusers when admins ARE NOT on.

    The admin did exactly what he was supposed to do. I can see his warnings in the logs. Looks like you did alittle more than laugh at him? Called him a fascist admin, or "facist"... not sure what that is?

    May 3, 2013 2:26:45 pm and facist admin again

    May 3, 2013 2:15:41 pm meh, oh well, muted, but I can still text chat
    May 3, 2013 2:11:57 pm stupid to just insta mute people when some may enjoy it
    May 3, 2013 2:11:43 pm thats a thing called mute, it works well for those who want to enforce it
    May 3, 2013 2:10:51 pm how about micspam for any to enjoy it
    May 3, 2013 2:09:06 pm you can unmute me now
    May 3, 2013 2:08:25 pm because admin apparently has no humor
    May 3, 2013 2:08:14 pm i just got muted

    It clearly states no mic spamming in the rules, which includes music. Although I do agree with you that some people might enjoy the music, the server is not there for players to play music on. If you want to listen to music, please don't spam it over the mic. Some people enjoy playing competitively and don't want music blaring.

    From what I can see the admin handled the situation like he should have. He warned you guys... you did not listen... he muted you guys. He then unmuted both of you, which seems a bit odd if he were a "immature" and "not worthy" admin. From what I can see you guys continued to disobey the rules so he took action. You should not be interfering with any admin action.

    The ban was only for an hour, so you are both already unbanned. Next time please follow the rules, no need to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
