Seeming INEquality in warnings and Kicks

[WILLIAMSHATNER]

Hi guys, I appreciate your server, and your server rules. I have however been known to slip a few times. I like you guys, especially compared to the flotilla of smaktards that are out and about.

Now to my problem. Why do I see so much inequality in warnings and kicks? Are all equal in the eyes of your laws? I got a kick for saying "bs" in a cod server. Others, including, but certainly not limited to your clan, say much worse. And quite frequently too. Yes, I am guilty of some unlawful words. But why do I get a temp ban, and some of you guys, and others get a pass? I have seen Ego members say "wtf?" and "WTH"?, and even "BS", several times. I don't want to be a whiner, but what gives? I got temp banned tonight for asking the question: "If I change my name will it still track me?" ........really? What is in that phrase that gets me a temp ban?

I'm just sayin....:glare:

I enjoy your server and you gameplay, hope to see you soon.

Your right on some points , as myself i say sometimes *wth* but we never how an admin will react to this situation , some will let you pass if your not attacking someone , some not. Even if you change name , temp ban are based on ip and cd-key so you cant bypass them.

Thanks for the reply. My namechange question wasn't related to trying to avoid a ban. My question about !XLRSTATS is what got me the temp ban. I was simply asking if XLRSTATS followed my stats still if I changed my name. I wanted to try Sniper only for a while, but didn't want my lack of skill with it to destroy my already lame stats.

As to you point about some admins allowing "wth" and some not, that is the whole point to my original question. I would assume that there is, or should be a hard and fast rule about things like abbreviated cussing, and it seems like there isn't. So I get a temp ban for saying BS and others slide on "WTF" I don't want to cry, but hypocrisy causes dissent and dissatisfaction.

Again, the rules are totally Aokay with me, I just am missing where they are being applied equally to all.

If you haven't already you can go to http://www.edgegamers.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=662 and read the sticky to contest your ban.


As to your question about the ego members using things like wtf, wth etc looking at this thread http://www.edgegamers.org/forums/announcement.php?f=371 number 12 response acronyms are allowed.


However if you are playing on the servers and see someone swear with no warning after about a minute contact the admins. I'm not sure if COD has console/private admin chat as I have never played there, but copy what the person said and send it to the admins with a message explaining so and so was never warned for this comment they made.

Admins can get caught up playing the game like everyone else and they might miss certain things. Kind of... well profiling here but admins expect ego members to know the rules, so if they see a member type something they might not pay as much attention to it as say a non clan member who might not know the rules.

i have noticed this issue, many admins ban the pubs for small things and when e's do somthing wrong the only get kicked. it all depends on what admin is on at the time.

Thanks, I read #12 and it appears to me that bs is a "response acronym" so why the temp ban? Personally, I am surprised any are allowed. I have read a fair amount of comments on Honor, and Cussing , in my opinion dishonors a person. That being said, sadly, I have done my share of it.

As noted elsewhere, please use this link, to file a contest against a ban. It's possible your ban was issued for other reasons than what you believe.

That said, per eGO's Central Admin 101 Policy, located here (eGO Admin Only Link):

Acronym swearing, such as wtf, lmao, fubar, bs, etc are ALLOWED. Please do not warn or take action on players using these acronyms. The exceptions are : STFU and GTFO only because it is almost always directed at someone in a disrespectful tone. As such, the warning given to the player would be to "Please respect other players."
