Stamp, I apologize if I put words in your mouth. You are right and that was the reason I brought you up specifically. I tried to keep reserved for most of the night but after several hours of the whining had finally died off, seeing it start back up again when NATO arrive agitated the hell out of me.

Steamer, he was in the soda machine room on the office map (can't remember the exact name, the one with the power lines out front, big climbable text sign, vents, etc.) when I froze him. No idea how he got frozen in the vent. I only froze once on the office map. He and another person were shooting the soda machine away from the door when Knives and I were trying to get it setup. The round before we (Knives and I) had held the room and killed Vlad among others, so I figured he was doing it on purpose to throw a wrench in the works. Because it took longer to get the soda machine moved, a zombie came and ended it quickly by jumping past on the right. I didn't get Vlad and his friend frozen till it was too late but they both got turned and he proceeded to cuss his head off in all chat saying he got the "37337" tag by being on the server forever and that he shouldn't have been frozen.

Vlad, I don't randomly pick on people. No ones bullying you. You did something wrong, you got punished for it. No one harassed you. On the contrary, you are/were harassing me and it continues here. For several hours you continuously brought it up in the game and now you brought it out to the forums. You spammed friend requests through steam until I blocked after
the third request that night. I did mute you for two rounds at one point, maybe you just didn't notice. I was within my right to do so and you should re-read section seven of Zero's rules.

Your story changed three times so far (adding the second freeze, changing circumstances, and now you're saying you were banned), you falsified your proof, you never took a demo even though you repeatedly said you did in game and to your friends, and you're abusing your friends trust now by going through such lengths to get retribution for something so petty (ONE FREEZE, ONE KICK, NO BAN).

No one who was on, even Cujo, remember you being banned or frozen twice. Cujo unfroze you the one and only time you were frozen. You returned promptly the one and only time you were kicked.

You even mention in the title of this thread that it wasn't abuse, which admits guilt. You never refute breaking the first cade on the office map, and the kick was two maps later (30-40 minutes later). You've yet to respond to my rebuttal that your "proof" is faked, as it is most likely copy/pasted and altered from your other admin abuse forum post, doesn't have my name right nor the time limit of the ban.

On a side note regarding the "proof", he either got the "five minute ban" notion from a ban I did that night for a guy named "[HITLER'S] HITMAN" or from the Tsubasa post he made. I only ban for five minutes if a person is ignoring a name change request or using racial slurs on voice. Had he broken a barricade multiple times, it would have been at least a 30 minute ban.
According to interpretations of Zero's rules, a ban can be used at an admin's discretion for cade breaking and I've banned for it sparingly while also rarely being one of those behind the barricade. Both times, warning was given and the person was either flip or silent to respond, and broke a cade more than twice. I use the three strike rule, which I repeated to Vlad several times that night. I'm also generally more lenient then most admins on lesser offenses (and probably harsher on major ones).

Anyway, Vlad and I played last night without issue. None of this was personal, even though I feel Vlad tried to make it so by escalating his story and methods. As far as I'm concerned, he's a regular trying to save face and took it too far. The rest of you can judge him/us however you see fit, but he won't be getting any special treatment (good or bad) from me after all of this. I've had to punish people I consider friends on the server in the past and they remain friends to this day because they knew they did something wrong and know admins have to strive to be impartial. I've been frozen by an admin in the past and remain friends with them as well for the same reasons.

I don't take things personally. I'm responding to the thread because what he's saying is not the truth and I don't want it reflecting how I use my admin powers. I've already got one strike for banning Rapedollars for thirty minutes, not going to let such a minor thing as a just Freeze and a Kick get turned into a second strike.
