[Approved] Ban Request

[Ronnie Pickling]

This is a bit ridiculous. The kicks might break the rules but Napoleon, how can you perma ban him for only 3 kicks, no one else's account, and without any prior warnings? If you did that for every one there would be 1 or more players perma banned every night until you only had serious players like incapable and marth left and the server would die out for being so boring. The cult classic culture in this game and Mod is part of what has kept it alive, a big part of why a lot of people play - because it's funny! This involves people having a laugh, communicating with the body language, kicking at people, surrendering, peacefully venturing out to the enemy, kicking teammates, you know the kind of shit - generally doing things the game was not intended for. It's just mild trolling, and I think if you had more evidence, or watched MikhailUSA play more, you'd realise that the intention was never to ruin anyone's experience or harass anyone, it's just to see another very regular player would want to have a laugh. And Incapable doesn't, so MikhailUSA says he'll stop.

Incapable was obviously pissed off, hence the "it got to the point", short dramatic sentences, admins actually being in every photo then nice replies afterwards saying it was a shame and he's not vindictive. Why didn't Incapable ask MikhailUSA if he would stop, rather than making a ban request if was really happy to drop it? It would have been a more accurate and appropriate framing of the complaint to have included that these are the only instances and it would be a shame to ban MikhailUSA in the initial post. Look, I have seen MikhailUSA play since I returned 6 months ago and this is not a player that is ruining anyone elses enjoyment.

Napoleon, this seems unnecessary, you gave no chance for MikhailUSA to say anything when Incapable offered to drop it and no warnings. This should never have been official, apology should have done it in my opinion.
