First and foremost, I would not take it upon myself to make assumptions of who is running the show.
More importantly, I have a strong belief in 'preventive action'. What does this mean? It means I have played with specific players in the past on other servers or even in OS, and they have been commonly seen as problematic players.
Define my rendition of problematic? Certainly. Problematic would be players with extreme attitude problems, players that have a negative impact on player moral and experience, and their overall behavior displayed elsewhere. This all speaks volumes of a persons nature, and will follow you like a shadow. It is nobody's fault other than your own when what you have let become you shadow jumps up and bites you.
There were 8 players banned from the server last night. All of which were either banned from my own personal experience with them in the past or due to numerous complaints and concerns from other players.
Whether it be players whom have a proven record of duping, glitching, stat padding, disregard for staff, or complete and total ignorance for other players right to enjoyment of the same service --- I will ban for all of the above before it has a chance to become an issue.
If you desire an example, I will provide you with one. Since 'Nug_Nug' decided to validate a post that could have been thoroughly expressed by the former post, I will use he as the example. Especially being that 'Nug' specifically was the reason for the ban of the both of you.
Upon 'Nug' remark in the shout box on our site, he made his presence known. At the time I had over 70 players online. Of those 70 players, 18 of them expresses grave concern of his presence on the server.
Over the next 2 hours of him being in game that number grew to 27. From my own experience, and obviously that of others, he and his regular crew of players have a habit of driving players off of servers. He has expressed poor behavior, arrogance of a profound amount, and complete disregard for respect of players and staff.
Unfortunately, Inc, you share the same IP address as he.
Unfortunately, I do not have the issue of ridding of 4 or 5 players in order to avoid the drama that comes with them, before it has a chance to hit the server. Though, it had already started the minute Nug logged in with his direct and intentional refusal to leave a dead horse lie.
What do I mean? I can assure you that assuming any of you have any idea as to who exactly is the man behind the server these days will leave you all with nothing more than a feeling of disorientation, once you realize you are wrong.
It does no good to start a public discussion on numerous occasions within a small period of being on the server, in which the main point is that : This server is that server, and this will happen or that will happen because of it.
Long story short : If you can not log in and enjoy yourself just as everyone else, then you don't need to be there in the first place. And unfortunately for you all, I have no issue making sure you know the way out.
The results of the bans? I had double the players online within a matter of one hour after.
'Preventive Action' is not a bad thing. It has actually managed to keep our server growing, friendly, and respectful. And I have every intention of keeping it that way.
If every server were to take a stand against those who have a habit of killing to enjoyment of others, each and every server would be a much better place. Complain as you might, but as far as these ears go, it will go unheard.
Lastly, I have a site. I have a support ticket system. That support system has a 'Ban Appeal' option. Use it. ElitePvP'ers is not a help line. If you wish to review my server, feel free. But your ban has nothing to do with it. It had every thing to do with you.
And yes, I do see your ticket, Inc, but today has been a busy day...I will be honest, 95% of every thing had nothing to do with you. Including this post. Im sorry you share the same IP address, truly.
If either of you wish for it to be discussed further, please use our ticket system. This is not the proper place for any of it.
[EDIT] And btw, Nug, that wasn't a staff member you were speaking to. You could at least have researched that much.
Finally, this post has served it's purpose, which was to advertise the server. I will ask on more time for it to be locked. This is an advertisement forum. Can we keep it to that? We do not need people's ban issues from a server polluting what could be better served space. Especially when the server provides means for this matter on it's own site.
