Winner gets all of @Nomulous Credits c:

he so uhh. yeah. I know I just got back but just wanted to bump this. Yes I'm still interested in becoming mod. I know I just got back but I still want this thread out there.

Well said. My thoughts, quick and compressed: Was the ban justified? Not really. Where do I start? If I recall correctly, we do a day -> a week -> a month. Were these steps followed? I don't think so. All bans that I am seeing are from about about a year ago (let's not take the ones for calladmin abuse into consideration, as that's a whole different topic). So we have one ban from 10-30-15 for disrespect. There is also the one from early this year which seems to be due to disrespect and calladmin abuse as well, though I don't know what exactly got him banned at the end. Only @Shadower may now. While I would rather give Sylux the benefit of the doubt, let's just assume it was for the same exact reason as yesterday - unless you want to take REALLY old bans into consideration, then there is no way a one month ban would be justified, as there was no recent week ban. If you want to justify a month ban, then in my personal opinion using a week ban from 08-21-15 is a little weak, as people change during two whole years. If you think that he should have gotten a week earlier, that is fine but matter of fact, he hasn't and Sylux himself definitely cannot be held accountable for that. I'm also curious as to why Zac "only" got muted while Sylux was banned. Zac does not seem to be banned, however. Why is Sylux getting a ban and Zac just an extended mute? As far as I can tell, both are a part of the problem. Is Sylux in the right here? Definitely not. The fact that he made binds to specifically annoy that Zac guy is wrong and should not be condoned either. Comments like "zack if you pay me 20 keys i can teach you basic death match" are not helping Sylux's case either. I agree that Zac is definitely not in the right either, but it's just unnecessary on both sides. Someone should have tried to defuse the situation. What should be done? First things first I want to make it very clear that I am not speaking on behalf of anyone else. This is my own opinion and you can disagree with me all you want, but don't blame it on others if you do. I think Sylux's ban should be reduced. I am curently not sure whether we should make it a day (or just unban him by the time this thread is closed) or a week. Looking at his past history, I can understand how some people want a longer ban, but I am not sure if a ban from 11 months ago that was not merely for disrespect is much of a reason to make it a week. This is something that higher ups need to discuss privately before coming to a conclusion. However, a month is in my opinion too long. Zac on the other hand should either receive a day ban or a very clear warning. And I want to shoutout @ThunderLimes for making quite useful posts. Good job (y).

As mentioned above, using a players' past history of bans on servers is a terrible way to dictate a future punishment's duration. The common player the late teen catergory going into adulthood :thinking: . If you think a 1 day mute is a punishment for instigatin and pissing off a whole server and many of the regulars you need to re-think your policies. I have said my points, sometimes once or twice to make them clear I will no longer reply to messages of the same points after I have explained the other wing. Thanks for the replies bros

NOT EVERY SONG NECESSARILY HAS LYRICS!!!!!! Just because you listen to metal doesn't mean you're right !!! :mad:

I wouldn't advise "Guess The Song" if you're just going to put lyrics; you can literally just google them and the song will come up.

Just for data. The situation is you join a server looking to play an actual game of Team Fortress 2. What map did you search for? Sorry, I'm not including meme, flawed or stalemate-y game modes like Attack/Defense, Payload Race, Capture the Flag, or Medieval Mode, we'll get to those later. You can vote as many maps as you want per poll, but please try to keep your answers limited to maps you genuinely like in order to keep vote inflation low. Maps are listed alphabetically, if you don't know what a map is, I've provided the actual name of the map in game so you can load it up on your own and check it out. Best Five Control Point Maps? - Poll on strawpoll.com Best Payload Maps? - Poll on strawpoll.com Best King of the Hill Maps? - Poll on strawpoll.com (Edit): I'm an idiot and I forgot cp process but I'll just assume that most people like it. The polls are more to find out which maps nobody likes than to find out each map everyone likes, and process is a pretty bread-and-butter map.

First point still applies then. He's still been a known issue on the server for some time now and he eventually got banned for it and the last ban was a day.

I swear copy-paste evidence isn't really valid since it can be fabricated. However the chat history alone and myself being one of his closest friends, I know that he can be pretty toxic. I will stay neutral since I think a day gag is an appropriate punishment but it doesn't bother me too much what has been suggested. Though a large portion of Zack being toxic is just because he gets mad for dying in game, there are some instances that players on the server are intentionally trying to harass him by having mocking names or harassing him on the server (including snarky and malicious comments). Though it may be funny to some people (sometimes including myself), he clearly doesn't like that and as members of xG we should all value each and every person that comes on the server. I hope to see staff and members/regulars put extra effort into trying not to do this.

It should stay at a week. His last ban was a day and he clearly broke the rules. Plus it makes for a lot simpler in the long run because if staff see that he was unbanned (as well as new staff) then they might think this ban his invalid so they ban them for a week again.
