-It was a waste of time for the victim: Arguing for a week because you spend 20 minutes sitting out of the game is a poor use of time
-It was a waste of time for the accused: Arguing for a week because you killed a guy in a videogame is a poor use of time
-It was a waste of time for admins: See above. Made all the worse by having to track down various parties and get them to post, drag up logs, etc. Half the ban requests sat for a month because nobody could be bothered anyway.
Adminhelp itbut kor what if I get griefed!
Move on then. We don't need an appeals circuit all the way to the top every time the clown punches the mime. If you believe there is something improper going on (admin won't ban his friend, admin answered their own ahelp) make an Admin Complaint.but kor the admin I adminhelped to didn't ban the guy!
It relays automatically to IRC. You can also request an admin come to the server in #supportbusbut kor what if I adminhelp and no admins are online
I guess he got away with it. It's still not worth your time to spend a week getting mad about it. It's just a game in the end, and you'll be alive next round (or on the other server when you switch, or in another game if you just tab out and do something else when you die).but kor what if all 30+ admins are asleep
PM a head administrator in that case. We don't need an entire forum for edge cases like that.but kor the guy spammed 300 messages in OOC, maxcapped the station as non antag, and used server crashing exploits ANd no admins were online AND every admin was asleep
tl;dr Ban requests encouraged people to be salty for weeks instead of just letting it go and playing another round. It wasn't good for anyone involved, and I think we will all be better off without it.
