joey__stalin November 23, 2006 Share joey__stalin Member November 23, 2006 (edited) Well obviously it was a CS:S server. The IP of which is "66.151.138.49:27015". My screen name was GSP > Hughes and then changed to "Joey Stalin" STEAM_0:1:1135751 This happened around 11:15-20 AM on Nov 23 I cannot recall who banned me, as there are no warnings. I don't remember seeing very many people with tags in front of their name though. Only person I do remember is a guy named "Wizeman" I believe his name was. I think I saw the name "hellbound" or something like that. And that is all I can remember. There may have been some altercation when I was asking why a person named "Magic Mushrooms" was banned for not changing his name. The reason I got was that it was drug related. I said something along the lines of "Well I think that's a stupid reason to ban someone. But hey, it's not my server.", not exactly sure what I said though. Didn't get any flak for it though. This was on CS_Italy. Next map we were on was Dust2. This was when I got my banning. It was quite a few rounds into the game. Near the end of one round there was only one T and CT left. All I remember is the T, the team I was on, blindly missed the CT and got killed. So during respawn I said "golly gee!", which got blocked. I was kind of shocked to wonder why that was blocked. I personally don't see that as swearing. I typed in the word "god" to see if that was blocked and it wasn't. I asked why the words "o h m y god" would be blocked or taken as a swear. Somebody said something about "Jesus being drug related" and I said "What?". Anyway I asked a question wondering "if the word 'god' is allowed, what makes the words 'Oh' and 'My' in front of it worse?" It was at this point I was banned. I do not recall ever swearing; however, I did sound angry after I was hit with an HE by a teammate and later killed by a CT while going through the double doors. But I didn't say anything vulgar. Just something along the lines of "Thanks "So-and-so" for that nade to the face". I was angry, who wouldn't be? I am sorry if I broke the rules or offended an admin in anyway. But I also find it hard to be sorry for something I do not know I committed. If I could be filled in that would be good, and I could apologize fully for my actions.

Laz.e.rus November 23, 2006 Share Laz.e.rus Member November 23, 2006 First, welcome to the GC forums. Take some time and look around! On the banning, I was watching at the time. The admin asked for people to stop arguing about the rules/ debating them in server. Several were pushing the envelope. I hope you can understand why admins dont want to type and respond to every single persont hat comes in questioning the rules. The rules are there. They always have been. Anyways, after that you asked about the O my thing. That was apparently the last straw. You were banned, and the rules arguing stopped. I spoke to your friend and was watching all you went through to post up and get unbanned. I will unban you presently. Note: There usually isnt a 2nd "unbanning". Plz follow the basic rules and have fun! If you cant get back into the server, you may have dropped the last digit during the copying of your id from console. This happens frequently.

joey__stalin November 23, 2006 Author Share joey__stalin Member November 23, 2006 (edited) Ah, I see. Well I am sorry. And yes I can understand the problem in explaining rules to every person with a complaint. Actions speak louder than words, heh. I guess this is one for being a disturbance and undermining an admin. Again I'm sorry. Yeah lol, I called a friend to connect and get me some answers. He said you were very helpful. Thanks. That and I hate to get banned from a server with actual people playing and not just bots. Seems 90% of all servers now are just running bots. it is annoying.

Fatty November 24, 2006 Share Fatty GC Founder November 24, 2006 Actually, o-m-g was added because it's more annoying as a whine than it is as blasphemy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan November 24, 2006 Share Tristan Member November 24, 2006 I'm still confused as to why "golly gee!" was blocked for him and I feel I must try this out next time I'm on. Welcome to forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
