So what if Harry said it was OK. If Harry had a valid reason to KOS Prestige for injuring him and then Prestige turns out to be innocent then you still killed Harry when he KOSed someone for a perfectly valid reason. Oh this whole situation seems to be on the staff members fault for attempting to RDM Harry in the first place.
Because, implicitly, he's saying it's not something I'll be punished or KOSd for. He is an admin, after all, and when an admin says it's OK to do something, that's the implication; that you're well within the confines of the rules and won't be punished in any way.
You were clearly well within the confines of the rules, did someone punish you for it?
No, I just got KOSd for killing someone with a demonstrably valid KOS on him. Which, again, was implied would not happen when Harry said to go ahead and shoot him.
Implied in what way? Unless he specifically stated that "You will not be kosed for this" then you misinterpreted what he meant. By saying that you will not be punished, he was informing you that you would not be getting an autoslay/warn from a staff member. He can't control what other users do.
He didn't say I wouldn't be KOSd, nor did he say I wouldn't be punished. However, when I ask "Can I do X", and an admin says "Yes", the implication is that there are no repercussions for doing X.
Let's imagine I asked you if I could report an admin for abuse of power and you said "Yes" (which I assume would be the case). After my report, I find that the admin has permanently banned me. Would you then say that you didn't specifically say that the admin wouldn't ban me for it? Or do you agree that the implication would be that filing a (true) report would have no repercussions?
I believe he said "Yes" as in referring to the fact that he or other staff wouldn't punish you. You assumed that it meant there would be no repercussions whatsoever, however that is incorrect. Your assumption in this case was wrong, which isn't a big deal. At least now you understand that killing an innocent warrants a KOS for reasons already listed by myself and other staff members in this thread.
For your example, that is quite different from this case. If you didnt deserve a permaban, obviously I would deal with that. By telling you "you can report an abusive admin" I am essentially implying that their is no consequence from doing so, however, that is quite different from what actually happened. With the report, no external influences are involved from other parties aside from the ones directly involved. Relating to what actually happened, Harry implied that you wouldnt be punished, but you thought that "punished" meant in any way possible. It was obviously meant as in punished by autoslay/warn. Clearly just a misinterpretation that could have been avoided if you knew that killing an innocent is KOSable no matter what.
