TOPIC: Possible Admin Abuse.

Im not sure if this is the right place to be submitting this but anyway. this is on deathrun servers by the way.

around 19:00 (english time) i was muted and warned by a zarp deathrun admin without any sign of a verbal warning.

What i had done wrong.

I had called 2 members of staff (both thinking they were my friends and wouldn't be fussed because its such a petty "insult")
a noob. (considered a new player) what in itself isn't even an insult its just a phrase. one of those two admins was fine with me calling him a noob because he knows i only do it for fun and mean no (if there is any) harm, whilst the other staff member "szabipotato" decided to mute me and warn me without any indication of verbal warnings.

Im posting this to ask the simple question. is calling some one a noob counted as disrespect and also is this widly used term what people don't even think of as an insult banned from zarp servers. its not counted as cussing and also it has no hidden background meaning what could be deeply offensive or racist. it is also a pg 13 word so its actually server friendly. so just wish to ask this: is this common phrase what even a normal admin should be mature enough to see that this word isnt actually offensive or disrespectful and was i deserving to a warn and a mute without no verbal warning.

here is my proof of the warn and mute without a warning : steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=282645660

Thanks for reading and please make it so only admins/mods are the only one to comment because its their opinions on the fact that i am really looking for.

You was told to stop, you carried on and on and on. That is why the mute and warn was for. Joke or not 'noob' is offence to me, atleast.

Chester.
not once today or any other day you have once warned me about the simple word "noob" im sorry but the fact is you didn't verbally warn me you just jumped straight to warn. and if you easily couldn't see i said it in a joking way even if the word is commonly used in joke's ect.... im afraid you didn't once verbally warn me.

From what I've heard from moga Chester, you did not give him a verbal warning first (Which you should for this type of thing). Also being called a 'noob' is no where near offensive, you shouldn't even be warning someone for this.

Chester wrote: I don't recall you telling him verbally to stop, and in the picture you can see his messages are so close together its implausible that you verbally warned him. And I wouldn't have questioned you about your actions afterwards if you had verbally warned him, but I felt now and at the time the punishment for this petty crime was excessive.

noob = new guy in the game, its not offensive.. Chester you shouldn't muted him.//

Calling noob is not offensive, but spamming about it is.

Once had to warn a guy because he wouldn't stop stalking me for saying "Teehee" with a high pitch tone.

Yeah true but first i wasnt spamming but also its clear in the evidence that i was warned for disrespect instead of spam.

Noob is not an insult, many people have said it to each other. Also if the admins he was calling a noob had a problem then they would have given him a verbal warning.

I DID give a verbal warning earlier to stop disrespecting + spamming when Moga or any other staff wasn't ingame.

Im afraid szabi considering i was in game for around 5mins before and even in the picture i mention how you both joined as i joined. And btw moga was in the server before you and before that i wasnt previously in a sever with you (considering i just swapped servers). Please stop trying to make stuff up when it didnt really happen.And even if it did happen as you can see from the people above calling someone a noob isnt disrespect

well, i wouldn't class this as abuse but a very poorly handled situation. in short Chester you should not of given the warning as it wasnt disrespect. saying you are a bad player isnt exactly disrespect and if you were that sensitive for warns why didnt you warn him for saying "feck me anus analy". it seems like your using your powers to a very personal level. sometimes you have to put up with people calling you names its not like their harming you.

Words only have the power you give them

Seems abit over the top to address this as 'disrespect'.

Then again, if you're offended by something someone says that isn't significant you can always tell them. If they were just joking, they'll probably tell you its a joke and stop. Judging by the screenshots it doesn't show that you verbally warned him or even asked him to stop.

However, the fact that you got muted twice before getting warned should've been a big enough clue towards yourself to stop it. Else you're going to work yourself in situations like these. Ofcourse, situations that also should be dealt with appropiately by the Administrator/Moderator at hand.

Which in this case, it wasn't dealt with appropriately in my opinion.

He got muted only once, because Chester typed !mute wrong the first time, same with !warn.

Aha, my bad.

Then its obviously over the top.
Why mute him and shoot a warning right after it, the mute itself already is a warning on its own.

I wasnt muted twice he just did the command wrong then got it correct around 5-10 seconds later. Andf the fact that he wasso quick to mute me i was wondering why this has happened and also i havnt been warned or muted for this offence before so its kinda obious i was going to reply with something against it or asking or stated how no one should ever be offended by the word noob

Calling someone a 'Noob' Is not disrespect and not a warn-able or a mute worthy offence, however vulgar language / profanity / inappropriate chat will not be tolerated in the servers and all are punishable by warns. Your warn issued by SzabiPotato will be removed and SzabiPotato's actions will be discussed with him.

In my opinion this is not an abuse of power but a mishandled situation.

Chester you are now changing your story. First you said you repeatedly warned me for the comment noob now your saying you warned me for saying "feck me anus analy" what yes is vulgar but it was not aimed at anyone and in the picture you can even see there was no verbal warning handed out.
I would say this is admin abuse just the fact that you are contiuously lieing about what you did firstly if you did warn me about that quote why didnt you say that in the first place instead of just dragging it along.. because you never did. And secondly how come only you and not the other member of staff in the lobby can even recall you "verbally warning me" you are pushing your luck by making up these storys and any half decent staff member would of just said sorry and took the punishment but you, your just digging yourself a hole and making it deeper with all these lies so im asking you myself just take it like a man and be grown up about it.


BTW : the line feck me anus analy was response to me dying... (fuck my anus analy) but i did it in slang and ik its not good or common language which is pg 13 but you can see it wasnt directed at anyone. or else it would have "you" or "go" ect....
