Why was I kicked for instigating?, your admins got it wrong Options

[elroy]

I have been playing on Tuchola for a while now. Never break the rules, always treat people fair and never talk smack.

Sun 2/11/07 at approx. 6:20 EST another player started talking smack to me because I killed him more than once. I returned volley, told him to bite me. Never swore, never started anything. He got kicked because he broke a language rule and I gor kicked for "instigating"

I have been an admin on a server and know that you can review the log to see who said what. I did not deserve a kick for what I did. Even a temporary one.

Elroy, I hear you man! I think that Radiation was just trying to eliminate the possibility of a bad situation turning into a really bad situation and removed you both.

While we really enjoy having you on the server and you are an excellent player and always mindful of others and the rules, this was an unfortunate situation and I am sorry it happened. The guy should have kept his mouth shut, and even though we don't want you to take any unnecessary crap, we kinda have to take measures to isolate these incidents as they happen. You have been there before, I'm sure you know how it can be.

Should you have been removed? It was a judgement call, and our judgement at the time was yes. Perhaps a warning should have been issued, but sometimes, especially if an admin is leaving the server or some other situation prevents a warning from being broadcast, we just have to remove the problem and in this case both players had to go.

We have recently adopted an "almost zero tolerance policy" regarding who may be right and who may not be right in server disputes. That is what makes our servers a great place to play because we bring the discussion here instead of having discussions like this on the server.

I am sorry that you were removed from the game and I could go on and on about how we do this to stop ALL arguments and such, but you are obviously an intelligent person and can certainly see both sides, I'm sure, and my droning on about such stuff would really be a waste of your time.

With that said, I hope you will accept our apologies and just know that we do not harbor any hard feelings or ill will toward you in any way. I hope you feel the same way about us. You are one of few players that we all know and like very much, and would like to put this behind us. Just know that we appreciate your point of view and it has been noted.
