Hey guys I'm an old time player on your 64 limited archer server, donate regularly to keep it up and floating and never brake any rules,

today i was banned because i had high ping whit the following message : " ping, idiot ", my IP was not banned just temporarily for this minor offense since its been two hours and I'm still banned

I would like this abusive ban lifted and I would like to file a complaint against this mod that doesn't seem to respect the players, because calling me an idiot on top of banning me is a little over the top

my in-game name is Brave Sir Robin, my steam http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198027179912/

thank you

The ban is mine, excuse my choice of words in the last part.

You played around with ~230 ping, I kicked you with the "Ping" message, you rejoined, I repeated my process.

After quite a couple of rejoins and not a single word from you in chat or change in ping I decided to ban you.

It was a NetID ban and can only be lifted through a server restart.

Next time you play please check your ping and don't be a fool like the rest. I've seen many people ignoring my "Fix your ping" kicks and not for a second thought this time would be any different.

>My reply got duplicated, ignore this one<

Whatever the circumstances you should always keep it civil and polite, you are the moderator not the fire starter,
I was just testing to see if my ping was going to stabilize or keep fluctuating, i would have left on my own without you pulling the gun on me,
and again you say that the others are fools ? i don't know about that ... I'm going to let it go because you seem frustrated with the player base
and vented your frustration on me, understandable i guess but believe it or not, not all the people on internet are idiots or fools, some are even highly intelligent.

The strange thing is, I see a permaban for "Brave Sir Robin" with the message "Racist language Perma ban". Perhaps it's for another player?

Brave Sir Robin is quite a commonly used name, right Robin?

Come on gentlemen, we all know both of you. Brave sir Robin is a regular and I have nothing to report about him and Marsche is a good senior admin.
I guess the increasing amount of steamsales newbies on SM server has somehow sometimes exasperated our behaviour while we are patroling the server (me too, I became so nervous some of these days).

Brave, just the last thing: sometimes it happens to be kicked for ping. Usually the admin who kicks you (it happened to me when I was not on SM) adds the "fix-your-ping" message to the kick. I would be an useful thing for both the player and the admin if the player answers the request to fix the ping once he rejoins.

I hope this issue will come to a respectful and polite end.

Come to think of it... I don't know what you mean

Is there some kind of scheduled restart?

I guess there are a couple of sir robin, this is a famous Monty Pyhton character, but I never ever use any racist or even slightly offensive language,
those that know me or play with me on this server can vouch for this, the ban message was " ping, idiot ", why wright this if you are banning me for racism ?
and if I'm being banned for something racist I said, I demand to see the chat log that prove it,
this all look like some case of mistaken identity to me, but no matter I just want to know when can I expect the ban to be lifted ?

I banned you for ignoring my ping kicks, the racism ban was on another player nicknamed the same.

Your ban will be lifted.

Vence/Brave Sir Robin told me that he was able to join the server, so we can close this topic. Thank you to all involved.
