TOPIC: [TTT] A complaint against Nickolas

Staff Member(s) Name:
Nickolas_The GNAR

Staff Member(s) SteamID:
STEAM_0:1:64927620

What did the Staff Member(s) do?:
Enforcing rules differently on different -

What server(s) was this on?:
TTT

Evidence:



1: TheBoneSaw does some weird shit and hits AFKs with a crowbar(I guess?)

2: Fire shoots TheBoneSaw, (At that moment I'm turning around the corner), I see fire killing him and IDing his body(He was innocent)

3: I kill fire and ID his body(innocent). I get reported and I answer "You killed an innocent".

Nicholas opens the chat (full chat ----> ) and punishes me ( )
Later before my slay round starts my punishment gets removed because fire "forgave" me

?) What if fire didn't "forgive" me? What if I was slain? If it was a non-staff player I wouldn't have been slain. Sometimes after killing a T and IDing his body an innoccent kills me and nothing happens. Same rules apparently don’t apply to everyone.

T trap warning rule doesn't exist

I'll handle this

Nickolas enforces unknown rules I dont have any proof so I didnt make a complaint but Nickolas killed an afk I killed him instantly before he id'd the body and he said it was rdm warned and slayed me. Apparently I need to give him time to id the body (shoot me in the face because I was behind him)

That's exactly the thing I'm reporting him for

As you state, you do not have to warn for T traps. Nickolas will be spoken to about that matter.

Even if a user, or in this case a staff member, forgives you, you are still allowed to be punished. The staff member should take into account the fact that the reported player forgave you, but as you broke a rule, you are still free to be punished.

Who removed the slay? Was it Fire, or was it Nickolas? If it was Nickolas, then he didn't do anything wrong aside from the fact that he should have been more careful with punishing you.

If it was Fire, then they should not have removed Nickolas's punishment. Only Head Administrators or higher can remove another staff member's punishment without permission.

Hello fl1k,

The punishment that Nickolas gave you was not technically a valid punishment because rule 2.4 states that you must wait until the fight is over and the survivor IDs the body or you question them, and THEN you can join the fight. You waited until the body was identified, and then you killed fire, which is perfectly fine under that rule.

On top of that, you do not have to warn people when you activate T traps, and so Nickolas was trying to enforce non-existent rules.

Since Nickolas is generally a good staff member, and none of this was intentional abuse, myself and CrankyBot have spoken to him and ensured that he is fully aware of these rules, and to ensure that nothing will happen again in the future, and myself or another Head Admin will remove the warning.
