I understand why you have the rule to keep teams balanced, but when friends play together they always try to be on the same team. That should be allowed.
My friend was reacting to an unfair situation and he is a very expressive individual. No other time has he been abusive in any way. Same with me. You act like a jerk you get called out on it.
I am apologizing for my language, not my actions. We at no time before your banathon used offensive language. We are adults and when someone acts like you did with no respect for his fellow players you deserve no respect. Banning people for wanting to play with their friends, ridiculous. You could have asked him who his friend was, then moved us to the same team and moved someone else to level the teams. So yes your actions were wrong. There was a better way to go about it.
No Sir you ruined it. We were having a good afternoon, me holding my baby daughter asleep in my arms, and my friend with his son asleep in his arms. We were taking about him needing to go cut his grass and we'd play one more round. The round started and he was on the other team, naturally he switched back to my team. We have been swapping teams to play together for weeks on your server, but today you said no you can't switch to play with your friend. That didn't fly with us so you started banning and we started complaining.
It's just a game and we can stay banned if your board sees fit. We just enjoyed that server, until you did what you did. I'm an engineering manager and I would never discipline my employees for breaking rules without knowing the full story and the root cause. People deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Thanks
