Banned for 20 on MOB Barbarossa Options

[Meaty Portion]

Hello,



You might know me from your many wonderful base 24x7 maps that you run. I enjoy playing on them and encouraged my fellow Dead Presidents guild members to join on Barbarossa tonight (3Dec). When we were joining the server we auto-assigned as we usually do to avoid clan-stacking. At this point we had 3 DPs on Axis and 2 on allies. After a bit one of our DPs, V1X3N, was kicked and banned for 20 minutes (admin decision). I figured that this was a Punkbuster error and asked the server admins if they could unban her. When I did I was tersely told by MOB GOOSEDOWN that she was kicked because she was spying for the rest of us on the Axis. I said that that was not true and could he please unban her. After some bickering, during which GOOSEDOWN kicked two more of my clan (exile, Prof.Teabagger) to prove "WHOS IN CHARGE" I said I would post on your forums. I told him twice that I considered his behavior to be insulting to not only myself but also my clan and he kept repeating "WHOS IN CHARGE" and "ILL SHOW U". I realize that as an admin you must have absolute control over the server. We have one ourselves and have had to deal with the odd kick/ban. However we try to deal respectfully with cheaters, when they present themselves, and do NOT ban/kick someone for cheating without proof. This galls me the most because I thoroughly enjoy your base servers and have always been treated well by everyone on there. I would appreciate a response and explanation regarding this matter.



Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Was V1X3N in spec mode when she got kicked? I am unsure what went on, I can tell you when people are sitting in spec mode for more than 10-15 mins they get kicked. If you play on our server often, you may realize that our Barb server fills up quickly. People sitting in spec taking up spots that could be filled with others that want to play.



I can also tell you that if you sit and try and argue with any member during game play you will be kicked. That is considered spamming and server disruption. This is the place to come and state your case. Why did V1X3N not come and post?


By the way V1X3N stats were 1 kill - 3 deaths - 2 suicide - One game

The other game it was 0 kills - 2 deaths - 0 Suicides.....so please tell us what he/she was doing the whole time.

I wasn't on the server when this happened, but I did hear Goose's side of things moments after when he explained his actions on Vent to us. He felt he had clear evidence that she was acting as a spy for the other team, staying in game, but lying in a prone position, not fighting and watching the action. The game logs support his observation.

We encourage people to join our servers and engage in battle. It can completely ruin a game if one or more people choose not to fight. I can't speak to what words were exchanged between the two of you, but the bottom line is: we are here to have fun, not argue over temporary actions taken by someone administering (and paying for) the server.

According to my calculation, the 20 minutes has expired. Frag on!
