TOPIC: [TTT] Demote Request - LonelyDodo

Staff Member(s) Name: LonelyDodo

Staff Member(s) SteamID: STEAM_0:1:78404438

What Did The Staff Member(s) do?:
Disrespected me via admin chat after I legitimately killed him in-game as a traitor, whilst he was innocent.
(_{1.3 Disrespect
Users of the ZARP community server are to conduct themselves respectfully at all times. This rule is also in relation to rule 1.2}

Not only is that against the general TTT rules, but it also goes against the ideals laid out in this thread by CaptinF1rework, where he states that staff should remain respectful towards players at all times, even in cases where it could be considered banter and the player is not offended (although in this case, I am offended)

I don't feel it was very professional for LonelyDodo, who is meant to be an upstanding member of the community and an example to players, to be abusing his power to message people privately on the server to disrespect me simply because he's allowed his emotions to get the best of him.

What Server(s) Was This On?: TTT

P.S. If you need further input from me, make sure not to lock the thread within just 10 minutes so I can properly respond and have a meaningful rapport with you

Are you really making a demote request over this? That's petty, I'm sure he'll have to be talked to about this but still petty...

I'm not sure what other options I'm meant to follow, I tried to make a non-demotion request "abuse report" earlier, but got told to use the demote request template instead, no?

If it makes you feel any better, I don't want him demoted, I'm just attempting to report an abuse of power.

By the way, the part about expected attitude was made by me.

This seems like a really unneeded report, however. Just speak to him about it.

Handling this.

he’s just super young and still gets threatened with a bar of soap in the mouth for swearing.

I agree that this wasn't exactly well thought-out from Dodo, however you are extremely petty for reporting someone over them calling you a dick. Kinda confirms it, you know.

I watched someone get formally warned in-game earlier for calling someone else a dumbass, by a member of staff. I don't see that this is any more petty than that. If he was a player, perhaps, I would feel petty, but in this case, he's a member of staff and is meant to be setting a standard for players to follow, not insulting them.

Codey wrote: They should only have been punished for this if they've done it multiple times. Like you said, punishing someone like that is just as petty as this report. Two wrongs do not make a right.

Well, in future I'll make sure to report that as well. In this case, however, I feel my report is justified - as I've mentioned, he's a member of staff, and should know better. I don't see how he can be expected to consistently enforce this rule if he's incapable of following it himself.

Codey wrote: I mean, this report should be accepted. Dodo went out of his way to call a user on the server a dick. I'm just saying, you're sort of behaving like a dick by making a report as well as these very passive aggressive comments.

This is kinda pathetic.

I'm sorry, I thought that was how you reported staff-member abuse. Is there a different area of the forums I'm meant to go to?

Edit: Also, by definition, it can either be a petty report or a report that is accepted. If I'm capable of creating a report that you accept, and yet you also say it's petty, then clearly your standards for admins are too strict.
