TOPIC: [SSRP] Staff Report - TheXnator

Staff Member(s) Name: TheXnator
Staff Member(s) SteamID: STEAM_0:0:52189662
What did the Staff Member(s) do?: Unfairly silencing/exploiting and punishing community members for no valid reason.
What server(s) was this on?: SSRP.
Evidence:

In this video, TheXnator mutes the user. The user is then asked to speak by a member of staff, but is unable to due to TheXnator's mute. The user tries to communicate the fact that they're muted to this other staff member, so uses the only method possible which is a textscreen. TheXnator, watching this encounter the entire time, then warns the user for answering the member of staff. Either the member ignores the staff member (which is punishable) or answers through a textscreen. The user had no choice, and in punishing them for this you are exploiting the user unfairly.

A few disclaimers:
1. The user in this video asked the community for their thoughts, and TheXnator then locked the thread and banned the user. They did not ask me to make this report, but as they are in my gang, I was aware of the incident and asked if they were ok with me making this post, which they were. The user did not ask me to post this, it is entirely of my own volition.
2. The staff member in the video asking the user to speak is Nikoo. Nikoo did nothing wrong, and was probably just joking around the whole time anyway. Nikoo should in no way be punished, as the incident falls squarely at the feet of TheXnator for punishing for something so mundane that he saw fully unfold before him.
3. I am requesting that TheXnator seriously considers thinking first before punishing users, and be properly and formally talked to about this by other staff of their level. This is not the first time this has happened in the community by any means, but it keeps happening and splintering the community (as was the case recently when a user mentioned the name of another server (something that wasn't and still ISN'T against the rules as they weren't PROMOTING it, simply mentioned it once)). TheXnator needs to seriously change their attitude.

I have defended TheXnator a number of times on the forums so I am not by any means a blind hater - however, this incident is just unacceptable.

The user was banned on the forums because he posted the deleted thread multiple times. Which I mean is understandable when moderating but "starting drama" is a funny reason when Xnator did the same weeks ago. The thread wasn't even that bad, UNTIL, drama actually starts.

The staff ethos is a joke nowadays.

ethos go brrrrrrr

What the user did was not against the rules. The user wanted to start a discussion about this incident. This thread is to start a discussion about this incident. What is the difference? There is no rule that states they cannot do what they did, so TheXnator was not right to lock the thread and ban the user. There is a clear protocol outlined on the forum as to how staff should behave with regards moderating on the forum, and it seems none of that was followed.

Why is the user not approached and brought to a sit, shouldn't you explain what they did wrong and make a judgement based on their response and how apologetic they are? Besides in the video that was linked, no harm was really done.

Imagine reporting xnator

You have one staff member shouting at a user to answer him, so he does and is then warned. Love to see it. Sure if he used the signs to keep breaking rules and whatever he was muted for, but he was directly talking to a staff member for what looks to be a sit.

The Xnator and many others think they can hand out punishments because they’re above and beyond, They like to “sweep” it under the “carpet” like many other punishments. The whole LT is corrupt except from Chute however nothing will get done or he’ll just say “sorry”.

However Xnator, If you’re reading this you need to stop thinking you’re above the people. How many people have left because of your judgments and how many people are now gone because you made them leave, You’re forgetting without US players, You wouldn’t have a server to play or even own.

Xnator should have talked to you instead of just muting the person as he even said that in a appeal already that got accepted about staff having to TALK to people before they get Warned. So if he can warn people without speaking then I guess I can too? I would also like Kronens Punishment to be removed as he warned someone without speaking and it got accepted.

I have MANY statements and I’ve even experienced it myself dude, You’re forgetting I was also one of you at a time. I know how things work and how LT does things, If you would like to message me on Discord (Jordz#2334) I will speak to you. As this report is not the place for my accusations.

Martin, That is you down to a T sir. I love you though.

I'm corrupt, its true.

He shouldn't have been punished, was partly my fault and hopefully the punishment gets removed.

Nikoo wrote:
imo it's not your fault if Xnator jumped the gun. Had he spoken to you or the user before warning them then this wouldn't have happened, you didn't do anything wrong except saying the word "fucking", very offensive.

I can confirm me and Niko were saying his mic was muted but it wasn’t sorry, it was a joke and I was about to tell him it wasn’t muted, then he got warned and me and Niko asked xnator to take the warn back I didn’t get a response. It was just a joke I’m immensely sorry that it escalated to this degree and I take responsibility for my actions as I am partially at fault.

bruh this kid ahahaha

CEO of Business wrote:
you and Niko have nothing to apologize for. The only person at blame is the person who made a gignatic issue where there was none. This is not a warn appeal, this is a punishment request so something is done about TheXnator's pattern of overreacting to and punishing players.

CEO of Business wrote:
if you staff were trolling him that his mic wasn't working which was what forced him to use the signs, then 100% this punishment should be removed
