To both Cloud and Acid,
You guys are the first to complain when someone disrupts on the server....I see your messages that someone is lagging, reconnecting, spamming (messages) and such. However, you both expect to be treated special or above the rules.
First Cloud, the day you said I picked on you started with you calling me a bastard when we bumped during a game, which I responded by calling you an ######. I would have let it drop there but as usual you went ballistic and jumped all over me (not knowing who I was). when you got out of control I gagged you, simple as that. I have reviewed the logs as has GRITS. I took no advantage of you and if anyone else did it they would get the same action from me..
As for Acid, I saw the message you sent calling someone an ######....I then asked you twice if you were referring to me since I hadn't done anything to warrant it. Your response was something to the effect, "I am now" which caused me to gag you. If I had caught the reason why you were calling lil face an ###### I probably would have gagged you for that. Again, I did not pick on you because you are who you are...I would have acted the same with anyone else and have many times.
The admins on GRITS' servers are fair and extremely patient. I do think that some people may be able to push the envelope with some of the admins due to friendship and/or clan membership. I don't know this for a fact but the potential is there.
You both might want to think about something regarding the responsibilities of the admins. We are trying to monitor all games to ensure everyone is playing fair, monitor all messages so no one is message spamming, attacking another player or being disruptive and we are still trying to enjoy playing, which is the reason we are all here. We review logs and discuss as a group through forums and email how to make the server a place that is non-disruptive, without cheats and fun to play.
So if you don't like the way you are treated, complain to GRITS or one of the admins. We all review logs and discuss admin actions. If it is found you have been treated unfairly, the admin will apologize. However, if you expect to be treated differently because you are an excellent player or in a clan or are friends with GRITS or one of the admins, it isn't going to happen.
One last comment. Most of the time I enter the server under a disguised name to see how new players are treated and to see how the regulars act when there are no admins around. It has been those times when I see the most abuse from some of the regulars to new or inexperienced players. The server is for everyone, not just the regulars or the clan members but for anyone coming to play.
