Clarification

[ithinkimabunny]

I’ll just ban you now, don’t worry about it.

Uh, oh. Looks like I asked too many questions in an attempt to remain in full compliance with the rules. That's what I get for trying to play by the rules. Serves me right.

What was that again Panda about how the admins would NEVER abuse their power?

Threatening bans for wanting to make this place better and suggesting ways is such a sloping forehead move Swag.

 

[BigBadBagOfSwag]

Ban me too faggot.

Done.

We have an overabundance of retards, you won't be missed.

So I'm being banned for being retarded?

Based.

 

[ithinkimabunny]

Done.

A quick check of the stats page shows he hasn't ban you... yet. I'm banned for: Retard

Thanks a lot, GoFish. It's all your fault! If I we're you I'd keep my head down and my mouth shut. lzoalallzlzozzz

TL;DR Cliff's Notes for those just arriving:

1) I asked a bunch of questions about a rule that no one could answer

2) Hilarity ensued

3) Swag got butt-hurt and banned me (for being retarded)

 

[ithinkimabunny]

Laugh all you want, Swag.

My honor is intact. You publicly destroyed yours over a silly conversation on rules.

These players will never look at you the same way again.

You've lost all claim to respect. You now openly rule by fear.

Da hail goin on in here?

Friendly reminder that you can say "retard" in the server but you cant be one, it'll earn you (is earn the right word here?) a ban.

Explanations and bannable details are on all Fibonacci and Prime Number pages of Rulez threads one thru five, period 2015 through 2024 excluding years where walleyes spawn on main lake gravel bars.

We do not allow mines or explosives to be placed in or near enemy uncap. It would be safe to place them within the area of the flag closest to enemy uncap.

It follows then that throwing them onto a tank that is clear of uncap is fair play then, right?

Hello, retard faggot? You there?

We have an overabundance of retards, you won't be missed.

Why would you think banning someone in-game for a forum annoyance a reasonable thing to do?

 

[Sabretooth-Ninja]

Wait I think asking questions is bannable. It's common sense.

The one thing I know is not bannable: Having a fragile ego. It will get you promoted to BZ's most pathetic admin.

I don't even see how it's an annoyance. Did I come to your house and sit you down and make you read this thread? Who exactly would I be annoying with my legitimate questions?

The irony is that breaking the rules didn't get me banned; asking questions to ensure I didn't break the rules got me banned. And I had a high reputation at the time of the ban with no warning.

I don't remember who but we had a guy that ADMITTED he was purposefully testing the boundaries of the rules and he didn't receive a temp ban or even points.

This is wild.

This was the fundamental lesson where Swag got his MBA. Other alumni of this prestigious school include Bernie Madoff, the CFO of Silicon Valley Bank, and the entire board of Enron.

This is typical behavior of bag. I had a thread asking if baiting bans is a bannable offense and he refused to give any clarification and just was a smartass. Panda is the only one that tries to engage in good faith and help. Bag is always powertripping

 

[Sabretooth-Ninja]

Good ol' Swag. So happy to be in last place.

An oldie but a goodie:

 

[BigBadBagOfSwag]

That’s a nice opinion you got there!

 

[ithinkimabunny]

That’s a nice opinion you got there!

You still can't distinguish opinion from fact.

That's what happened. Fact. You shot yourself in the foot. You damn near blew your leg off. And you did it all by yourself.

That your admin buddies may give your bad behavior a pass is irrelevant. We all see what you did here.

Your tyranny is on full display. And that's your prerogative. It doesn't mean everybody else has to like it.

Thank you for asking for clarification though we've also wanted an update to the main rules post to cover other topics but Neo is the only one who can edit it and he's been away with other life obligations so it's on the back burner.

This is such a strange coincidence for me. I feel like I've experienced this in other games that are far past their prime as well - where the owner is not actively administering yet maintains full control of day-to-day decisions.

Neo doesn't play much, doesn't admin much, and isn't super active on the forum. There's nothing inherently wrong with any of this - he has his own life and he obviously still cares a lot about the project or he wouldn't continue running it and making improvements.

One of the trickiest parts of leadership is that it requires thoughtful delegation. It seems like we're missing delegation for the leaders (Swag & Panda) to make positive changes that will improve the community.

Just my observations as someone who has only played here for not very long.
