WOW... really?
I just made a thread about my ban, and then I come across this "sob story". I certainly would understand if the name I was playing with at the time was the issue, but some out of context chat log is ridiculous. (Maybe a warning for the name, but come on...)
This "Turbo Flaming Chicken" guy got kicked once before... and then proceeds to re-join the game and try to load grief our team. (Where you connect faster than one of the 10 players, thus they get kicked for being in that 21st slot reserved for an admin.) Being that this is a social game, and the majority of the players on the team at the time have been playing together, we all agreed and voted this new guy off in favor of the player who got load griefed. (Who in this case was PDR3000... ranked #1) He was whining both on the mic and in chat, and people were getting sick of him. I don't think I even initiated the vote, but that's besides the point... he was voted off by the NINE other players. As well as the fact that he was voted off by the other team as well during the match. (So, if my math is correct, that's about 18:1 against him between the two teams.)
The server message on this particular server says "No racism, play as a team, and don't run ahead". I didn't say anything racist, and I never run ahead. But aside from that, I play with a majority of the server's regulars, and most of their top 10 players. (All of which are people who I've been gaming with for years.) I'm only ranked 22 or something, but I put in the time and play on this server... and my friends play way more than I do. So, these servers are basically made up of regulars who keep them populated, this making them more popular than similar servers. If this were some choir boy server, then everything would be censored, and nobody would be playing in there, but it isn't and that's what makes it better than the rest.
This is an online video game, and what FlamingChicken did was tantamount to some soccer mom complaining to FOX about a joke she saw on Family Guy, and then Family Guy getting pulled off the air.
