Banned for an accident, would like some understanding.

IGN: Lieutenant Derp
Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:40960101
Server: East

I'm just confused as to why I was banned. I am aware that I rdmed, but it was an accident and I explained it to the one I rdmed (ign: Sam Fisher) and he said he had forgiven me because he understood it was an accident. It had been at least a few minutes after the rdm and no report so I thought what Sam had said was true. However I was still banned. It was the second time i've rdmed, first time was simply a mistaken reaction on my part and I take full blame but that's not important. If I could get the mod who banned me to explain why (and possibly unban me if Sam can vouch that he understood the accident?) that'd be great. If this server has a zero tolerance policy, even for an accident where both people agree it was accidental, then I just think that's ridiculous and despite the great community and amazing server, I won't return after the six day ban is over. I hope the staff can understand and I can return soon. (I guess you can call this my "Why I was banned" and "Proof of Innocence" wrapped into one paragraph).

Edit: Look at the Bans tab, I can see carned claimed "mass rdm then leave". I think it's completely unreasonable, especially to call it "Mass". I rdmed twice, both were mistakes on my part and were rounds apart. Personally, I think to call it mass is absurd.

 

No, this was a different incident, you threw an incendairy grenade into the Tester room on Minecraft and once i died, checking the logs showed this, you damage around 8-9 people but before i could slay you, you left.

If you could explain your reasoning i'd happily unban and slay you.

 

I honestly do not remember throwing that at all. I don't think it could have been me, but logs don't lie. I really do enjoy the server and I honestly do not remember throwing that at all. I'd rather take the 8-9 slays in-game to be able to play sooner than the six days, but I understand if you just think i'm lying. Choose to trust me or don't, I deserve punishment and will take the six days if you don't like my idea (Hell, i'd take 20 slays if that's what it takes. Or possibly some kind of probation, one more rdm in a certain time period and then I get banned for twice the original ban?). I'd like it if we could come to a compromise, so I could get in-game and prove i'm really not a mass rdmer.

 

I apologize, it wasn't 8 it was 5 but ill will unban you on east, if you could log on now please

i see your willing to play on the server, but here is the special rule with incendiary grenades.

throw+damage = one slay

Every kill caused by incendiary thrown = 1 slay per kill

Meaning: your grenade would have been one slay or two max seeing as there were no deaths caused.

 

This isn't always the case. The explosion alone can take away more than 20hp and each one of those damages get a slay

 

My mistake, i was unaware that was added, so now it becomes:

Throw + Damage = one slay

if explosion is more than 20 damage = additional slay per player damaged over 20 by the initial explosion

Every Kill = one slay per kill added

Is this correct now mango?

 

Well, we're really looking for significant damage. Usually the explosion will read "Damage by explosion" which is the initial damage I look for. Then, if it damages enough players/kills I will add a slay for that. The incendiary is a completely situational grenade that we must handle on a case by case basis.

 

Understood, so it just depends on the amount of damage/number of players, if it causes an RDM chain etc?

 

My rule of thumb on the incends is: If it does 50~70% or more damage to player, that's a slay added on.
