Given some rather lighthearted complaints so far, it is important not to resort to ad hominem insults. Therefore, I want to articulate my criticisms more clearly and precisely concerning the poor adminship of the aforementioned admin in these following points:
Inactivity
1. One of the most important roles as an admin besides enforcing rules is to be an active player in the community in order to get to know the playerbase and keep a dialogue with the players. He fails at all of these. I can see that he posted his application for adminship on 11-02-2020. For 5 whole years he hasn’t had any regular activity, not even on the forum where hasn’t been posted anything between 03-10-2020 - 11-01-2025 and is therefore unbeknownst to many. Therefore it is to no one’s surprise that people get upset when he suddenly appears out of nowhere after ignoring his admin duty for this long just to lavishly hand out punishments.
Enforcing rules by his own standards
2.By harshly enforcing speech rules by his own standards and ignoring the informal culture of relative allowance by admins on this server he is alienating a seizable part of the playerbase by banning people for the most infantile and childish insults.
Procedural error and unfair treatment
3.In cases where he bans people for more serious trolling / language he doesn’t do so equally, instead he stalked me in the logs during night time and suddenly joined the server, just to ban me without providing reason nor warning before issuing the ban. Even if this ban was valid, it is stainted by a huge procedural error. At the same time he ignored bigotry and genocide denial from other players,
4. In a complaint posted in this thread: https://nwpublic.eu/thread-1656.html, he treats this player differently despite the antisemitic and hateful language, instead giving him multiple warnings. In the previous case he banned a person out of nowhere after stalking logs without issuing warning or reason. He did give a temporary ban but failed to uphold the normal procedure. No equal treatment here.
5.The principle of predictability and due process can not be said to be upheld when he hands out punishments as arbitrary and unequal as in aforementioned cases.
6. As a result of unpredictability and unequal treatment, law ceases to function as an authority, see Raz (1975)
Inattention
7. He fails to observe rule breakers in the actual game, focusing instead on misdemeanors in the chat (as pointed out by other players).
Dehumanizing language use
8. According to another person who filed a complaint this admin referred to another player as a “monkey”, a largely dehumanizing word usage that stigmatizes people and was used during the Nazi-regime to denote Jews and other minorities.
Given this, I want to call his adminship into question. I hope I have formulated my criticisms in a clearer manner than previously.
