Checked the logs and AssaultAndVinegar never said anything over the chat window. Then I re-read the chat logs and it seems it was said over voice chat, yeah? Does anyone have a recording or a demo of said voice chat? It's necessary for any kind of action to be taken.

No new +1s for membership since Dethman presented his evidence. I'm just going to close this thread on the premises that extra accounts like this aren't needed. ~Closed

Congrats to all those promoted! :D

+1 for perm. Painfully obvious, especially with the track record.

All I'm saying is that if it were my servers, known scammers wouldn't be allowed in. Period. Sorry @Kart, nothing personal. You're a great guy, but even though some get marked for a small mistake, many get marked for large ones. I'd rather be safe than sorry. =( OFC, that's an extreme measure to take, and it'd be foolish to do it when our servers are used to us never having such restrictions. I DO however like the idea of having a tag for scammers.

After extensive review with the other higher ups in the TF2 division, the conclusion has been made to permanently ban the user in question for the reason of death threats and harassment. Let it be known that we still will NOT take these kinds of threats idly. It is a serious offense to threaten someone with death over something as trivial as a video game. Thread closed.

Just gonna put this out there: SteamRep doesn't fuck around. If they even get a whiff of a server allowing known high-level scammers float about in their servers, they can and will mark said server. I'm pretty sure we DON'T want that, as it'd be counter-productive to what we are trying to do, regardless if people actually trade on our servers or not. =/

Taking up what Matsi said and running with it. Guy's obviously a well-known and highly successful scammer. I don't want any of his ire contaminating our servers. I nearly lose it when I see people trying to take advantage of our patrons for even the smallest amounts. Just the thought of this guy being on our servers makes me VERY uncomfortable. I want to see what the other opinions on the matter are.

Bring some evidence next time. ~Closed.

Oof. Yeah, that's quite a no-no in my books. +1 for closing the thread. Multi-accounting isn't really a good thing, especially if the age is not accurate.

+1 to 2-week ban. Death threats? Really? Over a game? Cmon. >.>

The Votekick command was added to suppress any and all rulebreakers while there is no staff members online. If people are abusing the system, please record demos of the abuse and submit it to us so we can deal with it. It's a tool to help the server and if people are exploiting it, we need to be dealing with those individuals, not removing the plugin. Thread closed.

EDIT: Didn't see that the thread has been open for a month. Sorry about that. 30 days past the submission date and we still don't have 10 valid vouches. Sorry m8, but the application period has passed. =( ~Closed.

Nope. Admins+. And, to make it clear, it's not my intention to break camps practically ever. ONLY if it is literally impossible for the team to do so themselves, as mentioned earlier, on maps that involve teleports to leave spawn. Anyways, since everyone seems to be in agreement with an official warning, we will make that official. Flareon, I'm sure you've realized your wrongdoings and won't do them again. Let's consider this your first, official warning. Don't let it happen again, mkay? =) Thread closed.

Thanks for that Dethman, but since this is the first DOCUMENTED incident we've seen, I think we can safely give Flareon an official warning about his actions. Flareon, it's probably best to ensure that if you are engaging the enemy team AT ALL, don't have any active commands that could potentially give you an edge to the fight. Make sure things like resize commands, low gravity, speed, and the such are all reset before actually fighting and trying to affect the enemy teams. Also, that goes for God/Buddha mode too. Since this is your first offence, I don't think any drastic measures will be taken, but should it happen again, there will be a possible ramification you'd face, up to and possibly including demotion. If this is sufficient to the other DMs/DLs, I think we can close the thread and move on. Flareon has received his warning, and should he receive his warning and change his actions, I feel no further punishments need to be given at this time. Just don't let it happen again, yeah? Consider this a probationary period of sorts where you'll be monitored for any additional wrongdoings. @Moosty @Rejects @Ohstopyou @kbraszzz If sufficient, we can close the thread and be done with it.

Okay, after speaking to the other DMs about the rule, we have come to the decision to keep the rule as it is, in which Admins+ have the discretion to deem the spawn camp as unbreakable. HOWEVER, I would HIGHLY SUGGEST that spawn camps are left alone and only broken if it is literally impossible to get around, such as if you head through a teleport to get out of spawn, like in Nimbus. xG has been known for a long time for its allowance of spawn camping, and the last thing we want to do is get rid of it. So, in the given scenario, Flareon using low gravity to drop sappers on the buildings would constitute as abuse. Admins+ are the only ones who can deem if a camp is unbreakable, so if you think it qualifies, you should be seeking out an Admin+ to make a judgment call on it. PLEASE don't take it into your own hands. Let one of us make that call.

Vector said it best. Don't break spawn camps using donator perks or any other plugins. It's that simple. You had no authority to decide if the spawn camp was unbreakable or not. 12 hours is NOTHING. Be glad you didn't lose donator perks, because that constituted as serious abuse. This thread is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary, considering the ban is already expired. You're just stirring the pot now. Closed.

+1 because we need Bach in our life again. A: Ass M: Mammaries

Mobile doesn't work for me. That's like a trip into Purgatory. GL Hachi, but I'm expecting to never see you again. T.T

Hell, even ADMINS don't really have the power to deem if spawn camps are unbreakable usually. Back in my Admin days, there were times where I found pretty powerful spawn camps, and when turning to Kbraszzz or our acting DMs, they always told me to let it lay. I was always under the impression that there really isn't a level of "unbreakable" anymore. That's been a thing since before I became a DM. Either way, Gigyas is NOT an admin and this is clearly abuse of his donator perks. Giving yourself powerplay and Valve Rockets to take out a nest is a big no-no. It definitely isn't an issue with ALL donators, so removing it is fairly unjust. +1 to punishing Gigyas for his obvious abuse, with a possibility of a revoking of his donator privileges. I'll have words with the other DMs and get a clarification on the spawn camping rules, but until further notice, I'll just go on record and say NOBODY BREAKS SPAWNCAMPS. Our servers have a dedicated rule to ALLOW this kind of thing, so it'd be redundant to make exceptions to the rule. Getting camped? Get some Medics and pop some ubers, or RTV from the map. That way, it's nice and clear until a decision can otherwise be made. Cool with that @Rejects and @Moosty? We'll discuss it further.

Remaining neutral on this one. Frost has been a long-time member, but the debacle with Banana Shoes is pretty iffy. That caused a lot of headaches for a good friend of mine, and it didn't end well in his favor. T.T
