Tetrahydrocannabinol 56 #1 Posted August 1, 2010 He told me to not be a scout and then when I said "just because you donated doesn't mean you can tell people what to do" he votekicked me with reason: AFK. I was clearly playing and he just got mad because he thinks he's an admin. SteamID: STEAM_0:0:7988323 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dranearian 3 #2 Posted August 1, 2010 I don't read chat most of the time. You were standing in a corner for multiple respawns. It was a vote, It wasn't a straight up kick. I apologize that you weren't actually afk, however I hardly see it as thread worthy. If you had just sent me a message I would have apologized to you directly even. Mistakes happen, shouldn't get so worked up over them though imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mistakes happen, shouldn't get so worked up over them though imo. Hence the title, votekick abuse. You saw me chatting, you know it. I wouldn't say "just because you donated doesn't mean you can tell people what to do" if you hadn't said something to provoke me to say it (Id Est talking to me knowing I was AK), you didn't even look at the picture did you? Even on an unpopulated server the time between me chatting and you votekicking there would be less than a minute. Also why does someone with 8 posts have donator? The only people that drop in to donate are usually trolls that want it so they can't get votekicked for hacking or something. And one last thing zigzags said I don't think he's AFK and you said "he was" almost immediately after you votekicked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even on an unpopulated server the time between me chatting and you votekicking there would be less than a minute. Like I said, I do not read chat when alive most of the time. Stopping = death as a scout. I had honestly not seen your message at all. You can ask anyone who plays on the server regularly that I don't "abuse" votekick. Like I said, it was a mistake. I apologized, and you still are at my throat. Yes- after zigzag said that I replied, he WAS, as in.. past tense. At that point you had said something so I knew an error had been made. I didn't say, he IS, I said he WAS. What else should I have said in that moment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What else should I have said in that moment? You don't votekick someone for being AFK that you can't see. You couldn't see me, if I weren't moving and you were staring at me that would be the time to votekick, it's abuse to just assume someone is AFK. Maybe someone that isn't moving is crafting? Either way, it was clearly something you shouldn't have done. You could have said "oops vote no" even the worst troll would say vote no if they realized they made a mistake. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dranearian 3 #6 Posted August 1, 2010 There was already like.. 15 votes for yes by that time. Me telling people to vote no wouldn't have done anything. People are not perfect dude. They make mistakes. I apologized both here and to you after the fact. I don't think the 2-5 minutes it would take to rejoin the server (it wasn't primetime) killed you, so is all of this really necessary? Wouldn't it have just been easier to tell me to be more careful next time and then go back to playing? Edit: Would also like to mention that, if I were able to vote the non-donator way (require multiple people to initiate the vote) I would. But as far as I am aware, as a donator there is no way to do a normal vote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Henry Spencer 117 #9 Posted August 1, 2010 It was one votekick, he apologized, now chill out. If it happens repeatedly, then it's a big deal. If this bothers you, you should play on Stock 2 sometime! People there get votekicked for the most asinine reasons all the time, and nothing ever comes of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if he does it again just repost it I'm guessing? I'm sure he pretty much had all this planned out but IDRC anymore he's a troll, trolls exist, we have to live with them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melissia 7 #11 Posted August 2, 2010 Yes, if he repeatedly abuses it, then report it again. But don't jump the gun if it happens just once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brokkoly 11 #12 Posted August 2, 2010 you know, i've wondered that, nobody ever says anything about stocks 2, i guess people who would be making ban requests know what it's like there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
