Hardcore <ibis.a>

[I'm a zambi]

Even so, Rofl did avoid a mute, and a 60 minute mute really isn't even that bad, to be honest.

Rofl, You should have just waited the mute out and waited until Hardcore left before playing the soundboard again.

!sm works well, but if it was more than just Hardcore who was bothered by the soundboard, then he had every right to mute. I don't know if anyone else was bothered by this, since I haven't watched the demo. Just adding my two cents.

[sup]

Leaving the server does not cancel out an admin mute (it does cancel out a self-mute). I haven't watched the demo either but I'm guessing when Hardcore says that Rofl left the server to avoid the original 5 minute mute what he means is that he left and came back 5 minutes later after the mute had expired (given the spacing of the tick marks I'm guessing this is exactly what happened), which is a little disingenuous. He was muted for 5 minutes and he chose to spend those 5 minutes somewhere else, then came back when the mute was up. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, a 60-minute mute isn't that bad, but as Maynard said, there's no rule against playing clips from a soundboard, so why use an admin command at all? A simple !sm would have been enough. Now, if there were a lot of players complaining about the soundboard, then an admin would be justified in intervening, but that doesn't seem to be the case here, and in my experience most people are not bothered by soundboards unless it's music being played for an extended amount of time.

Spot on. Sometimes when the mute expires, you're still muted that's why I rejoined.

I agree with almost everything you said Racist, but like I said, I haven't watched the demo.

I think the 5-minute mute is justified just to get the point across though, and if asked to stop, Rofl should have at least waited until after he left. That's not to say that Hardcore is entirely in the clear - like you said, !sm is an entirely valid solution in itself, and not having watched the demo, I don't know if anyone else complained. I was just bringing that up as a reason why he would mute. As for the situation at hand, I really think it's just a communication error/misenterpretation - I don't think this counts as 'admin abuse'.

EDIT: leaving the server does cancel out a temporary mute - I don't know whether or not that's what Hardcore used.

Watch the demo, don't go by assumption.
Round 4, second island..

Hardcore: !mute suck my ass
Hardcore: !mute suck

No exact minutes given. Just a "temporary mute".

Same round, third island.
Rofl leaves, rofl joins right back (matter of seconds)

I'm on nobody's side here, just pointing out what actually happened.
You guys need to start watching demos to see what actually happened, instead of going off of assumptions.
Credibility and trust is lost by minor things like this.. Just because you go by assumption, not what happened.

Spoke with another Clan a while back, said they often mute people on certain maps that use HLS. No abuse found, though a warning should always be given in the future.

resolved, closed.
