Server Ban
Information:
This isn't a ban protest as much as it is a parting with your servers as I have finally reached my limit for dealing with your incompetent moderators who like to fire their ban-hammers when opinions are stated and no rules are broken. Card was the culprit this time, though I will state later of other cases of moderator power abuse.
But first, I'd like to start of by giving a little history of my time on your servers. I first started playing a couple months back drawn to your Clocktown trade server simply because I was a fan of Majora's Mask, and because I am a disabled man with nothing better to do in my downtime. I traded freely on this server without trouble from many people. Most xG members didn't speak to me, and those I spoke with we're often very young, and immature, and unfriendly to me. This being said, One of your very rules is "Treat others as you would like to be treated" so for a while, I held my color, and kept my mouth shut. I met a couple xG members I actually got along with (Anubis, Xerses, Axtin, Kart, etc..) but the more xG members I met, more and more seemed to act like immature teenagers, some even going as far as to insult me personally. One in particular was Tekky.
I'd never spoken to him, I just happened to run across him one morning after having a pleasant conversation with Healix, we cross paths a few times, I mention something to him about being a metagamer, and he takes it personally, and begins to insult me numerous times on a personal level. I decide to mute him for the day, and let it go. Couple days later I run into him again on your other trading server with the Pokemon maps. I'm not even speaking to him directly, I'm speaking to someone else entirely, and he decides to interrupt my conversation, insult me -again-, then when I tell him (I'll admit rather rudely) to mind his own business, Your moderator (Cain), decides to perma-gag me without taking the whole situation into account...a blatant misuse of his powers. After this day, I decide to boycott your servers.
Finally, after being asked to return, I learn that Tekky has been made a moderator, and already uneasy because of this, I leave Tekky on mute, and go about my business. Tekky proceeds to speak to me using his Moderator powers even though I have him muted, another misuse of his power. Asking him to stop numerous times, I finally surmise that the whole of xG is a disorganized mass of teenaged hotheads in a mad grab to please the next person on the chain of command. This in mind, I lose all respect for anyone wearing the tag... but I try my best to enjoy the maps.
What I am simply trying to get across is that I am simply acting the way you all have shown me you are acting... I am treating you the way I have been treated. I log into this game to socialize and trade because it's about all I have anymore because my body is broken, and before long I will lose the use of my hands as well. I know I may be abrasive at times, but there are those that will testify that I am a good person. I've given items freely on your servers after events. But after being banned for stating my opinion, I don't think I want to return, and I can see why some of my friends that once had an xG tag, no longer bear it.
Think hard next time before you give a child certain powers.
