Oonyx - 1 day ban

[Oonyx]

You banned me immediately after the alleged second infraction on the elevator map which you've not addressed - can you explain how what I did there, i.e. spawn as a zombie, can be construed as glitching in light of what I posted above? I'm asking because in your original post you stated "He was warned to stop and didn't."

XII. Spec/Retry

1) No player shall enter spectate to avoid death.
2) No player shall reconnect or leave the server and come back to avoid death.
3) No player shall reconnect or leave the server and come back to play again in the same round.
4) Above applies to all servers for all players, should not be confused with allowing zombies to teleport to avoid death.

As I see it, your leaving then coming back the beginning of the round is your way of avoiding death. You're becoming a zombie without being knifed, thus pretty much guaranteeing you several kills with a perfect ratio.

Stop worrying about your rank and become a zombie the natural way.

Your response is entirely irrelevant. I'm sure you read the second paragraph of my first post; I did not reconnect on the elevator map as I was offline the preceding several rounds.

[DrTran]

Like I said. I was on spectator and I saw a disconnect and reconnect, your story doesn't match what I saw.

[Oonyx]

When the server is full and there are reserved slots left, the server will kick you immediately after connecting (even before the game shows up) for not having a reserved slot if you do not have one. To active players in the server, the console will still show that player as having connected (though it does not seem to show that the player was also kicked). I was successfully connected only on my second or third try. I hope that clears up the confusion.

[DrTran]

I know about people being kicked for reserved slots, its happened to me in the past. I thought it shows a message about reserved slot in the console though when it does happen.

[Oonyx]

@DrTran: No, I've never seen any messages about reserved slots being shown to active players other than the person who's being automatically kicked. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the console does not show it to administrators either. I can assure you, however, that I was simply reconnecting due to the reserved slots. With that, please reconsider the ban. Thanks.

as much as i can't stand oonyx, he is right about the reconnecting thing. the servers have 21 (43 for zm) slots, but at any one time there are only 20 (42 for zm) people playing. that's because the last slot is automatically kicked...at all times. so basically, when someone tries to join, they'll "join" and then be automatically kicked before they actually are "in". People are actually "in" once you see the line from steambans.com and the info about their steamID.

players in game watching chat will see "so-and-so has joined the game" and will see that each time the person tries to join.

so yes, oonyx is right that he probably was joining late. HOWEVEr, i find that it is common courtesy to announce to the ct's in game (once you join late and are in spec) that you joined late and intend to !zspawn. normally, they'll say there's no problem with it. but don't do it if there isn't much time left, or there are only a few cts left.

edit: this isn't even talking about the reserved slot. nobody w/ a reserved slot will ever fill that 21st (or 43rd) slot. it's only there to kick people from.

Like I said. I was on spectator and I saw a disconnect and reconnect, your story doesn't match what I saw.

When you don't have a reserved slot it will still connect you to the server and kick you. SO it looks like he joined but doesn't actually 'join'

Dr. Tran you don't have to post bans unless its a perma, but this seems legit, and Walter oonxy or what ever you say his name not a good person when your off.... but anyways.... OONXY or whatever YOU MUST HAVE A COPY OF A CONSOLE chat. or a demo of the incident
