[OneMG] Think I was Muted

[AlCapone]

I think I was just muted. I am username OneMG, aka Bateman (but I lost pw to that account, I'm disclosing to avoid accusations of multiple aliases on purpose). Anyways, I just want to know how long my mute is for and request it to be lifted. I can't play until then because, for instance, I was on a map and enemy was in structures and I couldn't tell anyone. As you may know, a mute is, for all intents and purposes, a ban when it comes to Renegade. You just can't play muted. Short of someone hacking or hindering game play, it seems silly to mute/ban. Renegade doesn't have the luxury of being an active game, and with that, Rencorner just can't afford to lose players. Were it Counter-Strike or any other game, we would be able to just ban whoever we disfavored, but Renegade simply needs every active and non-hacking player that's willing to play. I am pointing this out not only for myself, but for other users who happen to be muted or banned. Don't get me wrong, hacking is unacceptable and should be banned. Repetitive interference with the game should be addressed. Saying kike once or twice shouldn't.

To keep this post from being longer than it already has been, I just want to know when the mute will be lifted. This is not a threat when I say I simply can't play until that time as being muted renders me unable to play effectively enough to not be a hamper to my team. I also want to request that whatever the length of the mute was set to, that it be removed or, at the very least shortened. I'm remorseful but this is just over the top; it's not like I was taunting for a ban when I said kike. I said it twice in the same day 2-3 hours apart. It slipped, sorry. Please remove the mute, thanks.

This is your second time of this, well more, there were ban evasions involved the last time.

Here is what Manuel wrote the last time: 

-First off, I don't want to see any sort of racism out of you again or you'll be permanently muted.

Stop saying derogatory words in game. Are you kidding me? You called someone a dirty kike. After we just talked about not being racist. Fuck dude. How many times do I have to talk to you?

[AlCapone]

That was 3-4 months ago. I was killed and I just typed. Manuals message, I never received. Permanently? Not serious right? That might as well be a ban. Its impossible to play without being a team hamper muted. Someone enters a structure and you can't say anything, that just interferes with game play too much to be able to play. Its not a threat when I say I won't be able to play until the mute is lifted; a mute is effectively a ban. Hence, I'm appealing. 3-4 months ago last incident, never received Manuals warning, and saying kike 2-3 hours apart twice in one day is very wrong, it slipped I was killed second time. I don't remember Counter Strike being like that when I used to play it. Bad habit, I'll stop.

Please unmute or set like a 24 hour mute. Permanently just doesn't make sense. The time doesn't fit the crime. I'm not telling you guys how to admin, but this is the appeals thread so I ask you to reconsider and lift mute. Ren needs all its players. Please be more conservative muting or banning not hackers. Theres just not enough players as it is. I ask you to reconsider, thanks.

[AlCapone]

Mute was temporary, as I suspected and as it obviously rightful have been so (at worst). It appears to be lifted. Thank you and I will behave. 3-4 months since last mute so give me a break.

[AlCapone]

No, Just joined. I'm still muted I think. Someone please confirm and if so, please reverse. I have explained my appeal. Thanks.

[Volcom]

Should be unmuted. Please have no more slip ups.

Personally, I'd rather see you permanently muted (and have you consider it a ban), than have your juvenile racist comments cause other players to stop playing.

You're right, Renegade players are few in number now and we can't really afford to lose more, but I'd rather sacrifice an insignificant petty racist like you than have you piss off a decent who leaves and stops playing Renegade.

Call someone a kike, nigger, faggot, nazi or whatever while I'm ingame. I double dare you.

Appreciated, sure thing. I am in the server usually when few people are on, like now 4 people in game. So I think the policy on muting should be reconsidered, but I'll abide by the rules. I do 99% of the time. its that 1%. 3-4 months since a mute. You guys don't miss a thing though and are stricter and more omnipresent then law enforcement. It's a game server, words are words but I'll follow the rules. But just an example, I ride in the car pool solo, no ticket, speed, not ticket, roll stop signs, no ticket, but if I slip up on your server that 1% slip up on choosing the wrong words, you guys are on it. I just think it should be reconsidered and more lenient with word slips but I'll control it. Like I said, I abide by all the rules for the most part 99% of the time.

Point is, you guys don't miss a thing. Nothing just gets by. Nothing gets missed. If I slip up, I get the shaft. If I'm muted, you guys catch any instance so it just makes it look like I use derogatory words more than I do. Where I don't have a speeding ticket in the last 3 years. Do cops see me speeding? Sure, I pass them on the freeway. I'll go 10 over. They aren't looking for little fish like me and hence I don't look like a speeder at all and have great insurance rates and I would have a flawless driving record. Why? Because I am not a dangerous driver. 10 mph over isn't a big deal. Here, you guys catch EVERY LITTLE WORD. Makes individuals who slip up and get a short mute and have to come here, even once every 3-4 months, look like they are intentional, reckless, and careless to the rules, and that is just not the case. I respect the rules here. You guys muted me 3-4 months ago, that was an incident. I got muted a few days ago, that was an incident. Looks bad for ME nit picking every word and it doesn't benefit anyone else for a game that needs active users. Joe Biden makes more slip ups then me and gets less scrutiny. I'd just like a little less scrutiny. Let me cruise that 10 mph if it isn't messing anything up. I obviously won't knowing that you guys admonish everything, but it WAS a 1% thing. Just looks bad because I get shafted every time. If I got a speeding ticket every 3-4 months I'd look like a terrible driver, people would assume I'm reckless, which is just not the case. It just doesn't happen because I'm not a bad driver. Likewise here, I'm not a rule breaker. VERY uncommon, because I know how strict Rencorner is, but 1% of the time the odometer goes 1-2 mph over the speed limit, non-choice words slip out. It's a game server, I'm not hacking. Understand I'm human too and it's bad on me that I use non-choice words. Makes me a lower person. I try to avoid if it's how I talk, bad on me, I avoid it here but I'm human and I try not to slip.

Rules are in place to set the outer boundaries but every little thing doesn't have to go punished. The boundaries have to be set somewhere, I understand, but I just don't want to be back here in 6 months asking to be unmuted because a few times a year I use non-choice words on a gaming server. Its bad on me, shame on me, low of me, but it isn't intending to break server rules. I respect the rules, whatever they are, practically always.

I just want to be a positive member of the server, like I think in my opinion that I am. I don't hack, I don't do afks, I notify team when enemies are incoming or in base, I (generally 99% of the time) never use non-choice words, and I play often when few people are on and it gets the server going. Just take everything holistically please and in the future, in 5-6 months, maybe a year, who knows, I just don't want to be back here asking to be unmuted. I get it and I will respect the rules. No slip ups, I can promise that, but I'm human if I just roll a stop sign in 6 months with no one around but Manual chilling waiting for that incomplete stop 80 feet down the street at 1am, I just don't think I should get my chops busted. I respect the server and everyone here, just keep that in mind please in the future. I'm a positive member.

You do not dictate anything around here, nor do your views even matter. You're just lucky Rob undid the mute is all. The next time you utter one racist comment I am going to ban(strike that, MUTE, because you seem to loathe it) you for good and keep doing it.

[Nudle]

Shouldn't drive too fast. It's dangerous. You might die. Then you can't play Renegade anymore.

Don't do it.

Also, in Holland, if you talk back to a policeman giving you a fine like this, you get a choke hold for sure. In America, you get shot. Shaitan is from America. Be careful.

[Joetorp]

Hey nudle, I am sorry you think of all cops in America kill people, at least we weren't a staging ground for the attack in Paris!  Smarten up!

Not quite sure how those are related. Try California shootings, might make more sense..

The California shootings?  Gee, I didn't think cops went and killed 14 people, for all I know, those Islamists planned it from Belgium.

[StJohn Gumby]

I don't think this is the appropriate place for this discussion.

Please don't post irrelevant stuff in this forum if you are not involved. I shouldn't have to tell an Administrator.

Like to know who approved those posts though.

You are right Gumbo, this isn't, but when you have people that shoot from the hip with asshole comments, they deserve to be corrected.

I approved the comments, I don't know why we have an approval process in place.  We didn't in the old version of the forum, Offensive stuff were either deleted or hidden.

Joe

[StJohn Gumby]

Joe,

I think shaitan added the moderator approval because he was sick of people who weren't involved in the incident, or posted off topic stuff, posting in these threads.

I think you and me are in trouble when he see's this buddy.

Gumby

[Joetorp]

Oh well, my apologies, I wasn't informed about the approvals.

[shaitan]

I seen it earlier. Three and a half years and some people still haven't learned how to fucking read.
