complaint against Kruse

[danieljbcampbell]

Server name: EU Commander
Your in-game name: Fingolfin
Your GUID: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7656...82544/home
Name of the admin: Kruse
When did it happen: 12/29/2025 6:00pm
What happened: Admin "Kruse" was banning players for swearing, banned one player for referring to himself as a "funky cracker", then banned players for arguing with him who were neither swearing nor using racist language.
Proof (screenshots, videos, witnesses, logs): Not available, because admin kicked me before I was able to screenshot the logs.
Additional comments:This is absolutely not in the spirit of the EUCommander community. I have been a player for years and I love this community. There are no players who take issue with me and the last thing I would want to do is to hurt someone's feelings or to make them uncomfortable. To be banning players of this already small and shrinking server so aggressively, especially without them having broken any rules, absolutely runs counter to the spirit of the community and runs cotrary to the best interests of the server. There are so few players left, banning veteran players for using swear words (which I did not due) or for arguing with the admin is absolutely unacceptable. This person has absolutely no business as an admin for this server.

Complaint               

I was banned by this so called admin "Kruse" for no stated reason. He decided to check logs on me late night while I was engaged in my usual pastime of hefty polemic against other players, including this time an apparent denier of the Armenian genocide and classical antisemitical retards who spread mantras about "MUH JEWS" and Israel. I admit my wrongdoings and that it was certainly worthy of a ban, and that my language was very unruly, insulting and at times even racist and bigoted.

However, I find this way of ruling and methods very disturbing. First of all, it is very hypocritical for an admin to ban me, for what I assume is making general statements about different ethnic groups (he provided no reason for the ban), while also allowing antisemites and genocide-deniers roam free on this server. If he bothered so much to ban me, that he would stay up until 4 AM to check the logs so thoroughly to find the incriminating reasons to do so, he would have seen the argubably equally or even more disturbing behavior of the player "Lemmon" who denied genocide of armenians. Making negative statements about certain ethnic groups should be seen in proportion to denying an outright genocide of millions of people. Yet I was the only one who was punished and this without a formal procedure or anyone really filing a complaint and during the low-hours of the server when usually the most retarded discussions take place on the server. 

Besides this, I find it very laughable that this so called "admin", who I have never noticed in my 4+ years on this server decides to show up on the server recently just to set his own bar for what constitutes a bannable offence. He does this by lavishly handing out bans for the most minor verbal transgessions and completely disregards the praxis set by other and more active (and arguably more mature) admins of the EUC Community. For example, a player (Turd_Burgler I Think) was temporarily banned for a seemingly harmless and absurd childish insult that most people would leave aside and simply laugh at.

RealNutCase and Dima on the other hand, who are some of the most active admins of EUC keep an active dialogue with the players and very rarely, if ever hand out punishments for "bad speech". I have even seen Dima ignoring some rants made by the most hateful players on the server, simply because sanctioning every instance of it would leave very few active players left. It is a very common jargong to call bad players on this server for "retards", "goons" and make jokes that can leave a bad aftertaste among leftists but I have vey rarely seen any other admin sanction this type of behavior. That of course doesn't justify bad behavior, but in comparison I think this goes to show the arbitrariness of the punishments and a very different standard set by this so called admin "Kruse". And that suddenly this admin who is inactive for most of the time, and I really haven't heard of, even have the audacity to come on the server, uproot the praxis set by other admins, while not giving a shit about the server for the remainder of the time just to ban people that are testing the limits by directing seemingly childish insults in chat is beyond laughable. It is not an overexaggeration to say that this admin pays more attention to what people say in chat than to actual rule breakers in the game.

As long as Kruse is allowed as admin on this server I have no intention of appealing ban.
