Ledgeby Unnecessary Punishment, Abuse

[NLA]

Admin's INGAME name: Ledgeby
Your INGAME name: NessLookAlike
Server: ZM
Map: ze_saw_final
Date & Time: 3/3/2013, ~8:30PM PST

How did he/she abuse: Ledgeby violated the following:

4. Use admin privileges sparingly and appropriately.
5. Be respectful and non offensive of our community and its members regardless of race sex, or religious beliefs.
11. Punishment should be issued in accordance with the server rules topic located in the rules forum http://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/showthread.php?t=495

(Specifically, in this case, the following ZM rule applies..)

Blocking - Players may not use the "!block" command at anytime during a ZE map. If a player uses "!block", he or she will be automatically slayed by an admin.
Not Allowed – Using a players body to deny players access to a certain area

Ledgeby slayed me for typing !block, even though !block has been disabled on the ZM server for ZE maps and does nothing when entered. Ledgeby didn't care and slayed me anyway.

Now look, I've been around here for a while and I get that this is minor and something that typically has no repercussions for the admins that do it, but it makes for a bad admin, and it should be discouraged. Admins shouldn't be allowed to get away with a series of minor stuff like this. Even small abuse is still abuse. And its indicative of a bigger problem when the admin seems arrogant and inflexible about it.

After the slay, I asked Ledgeby what the deal was, since !block is non-functional, and he insisted (as seen in the server demo attached) that I had broken a rule. I just couldn't get across to him that -- really, come on now -- no rule had been broken here. I would have copied more of the conversation, but the map was spitting out a bunch of error messages to console and I only got the following:

(TO ADMINS) NessLookAlike: Are you deaf dumb and blind or something
(TO ADMINS) NessLookAlike: It doesn't actually work
(TO ADMINS) NessLookAlike: so you just slayed me even though I did nothing
(TO ADMINS) NessLookAlike: ie. admin abuse
Ledgeby™ <ibis.a> : Go for it report me see where it gets you

Its small shit like this that bugs me, when we have admins that do stupid shit just to screw with someone's otherwise good time, and that's why I'm posting this. I have no problem with taking punishments for my actions when I do something that I know is wrong, but I hope my sentiment of "stop slaying/kicking/banning people in the server over stupid shit just to needlessly screw with their good time" picks up a bit of traction and this gets discouraged more in the future.

tl;dr Typing !block shouldn't be grounds for slaying someone because !block is now non-functional. I didn't block anyone and was slayed anyway by Ledgeby.
