It turns out the things you say to people have consequences both IRL and in dumb internet atmos simulators.Nilons wrote:allowing admins to ban people for being mean to them is a very slippery slope at best
An idiot who can't restrain their inner autistic screeching for 5 minutes should probably stay on singulo and off of ss13.An admin with sensitive fee fees should probably stay on tumblr and off of ss13.
Okay but why do you claim it should be punishable to insult an admin and then in the same post insult a playerArianya wrote:

'But it is said: Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. The choice is yours: to go or wait.'
'And it is also said,' answered Frodo: 'Go not to the Elves for counsel for they will answer both no and yes.'
'Is it indeed?' laughed Gildor. 'Elves seldom give unguarded advice, for advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill.'
I didn't specify who said idiot was I was just providing an example of why we shouldn't put up with it.Nilons wrote: Okay but why do you claim it should be punishable to insult an admin and then in the same post insult a player
Admins are 100% expected to not insult or denigrate people but have that expectation removed if the other side breaks the NAP. If you want professionalism then you have to show the barest level of courtesy in return.The other side of this argument is if you expect players to be 100% professional and courteous in situations where they might be angry and lash out the same would I hope be expected of administrators, who at the time are not expected to never insult or berate a player despite being discouraged from doing so and asked to act with a semblance of professionalism.
Admins tend to have a pretty thick skin by pure natural selection but there's no reason admins should be expected to put up with abuse. If a player cannot behave in a civil manner for the brief time it takes to answer an ahelp then quite frankly there's no reason we should give them the benefit of the doubt.Grow a thicker skin, basically
Sure, but in the meantime you end up with dumb long threads where people either insult the OP for making a dumb threads (see Fwoosh vs Kevinz) or dumb long threads where people take a one-sided story and run away with it without any context until an admin/headmin comes in and breaks it up. There's no reason to not nip these in the bud by saying that you have no expectation of professionalism if you start shit.People making admin complaints in bad faith predicated entirely on a theory the admin actually banned them for being mean have never held up and I would expect you to trust that headmins would do due diligence and look into it.
