TOPIC: [Teamspeak 3] Steam Report Abuse

Staff Member(s) Name: Steam

Staff Member(s) SteamID: N/A

What did the Staff Member(s) do?: I had just got home from school, so I decided I was going to jump on ts3 since there was no homework for me to do. I join a room with Rsq, Gmod, Steam and No-one. Everything was going well and i was just repeating lyrics from this song vv . I said, " Lol! Watch me get banned!" (jokingly) and of course, Steam bans me for the reason, "racism." Now if i remember correctly, I shouldn't direct it at anyone because of course that's bad. On-top of that, if anyone had taken offence to that, I would've apolizged but it seems the solution to everything is to just to ban the person rather warning and explaining. Multiple times people have said, " nigga " with Staff members in the same lobby yet they don't get a punishment. Seems like you also have a trigger happy Ts3 staff member.

What server(s) was this on?: Teamspeak

Evidence: Other Admins and my current ban.

You said the N word 3 times in a row then said something on the lines im not offending anyone so its fine, I shouldn't have to punish you, You should have the sense to not say that word anyway even if it doesn't offend anyone or not.

Some people find that offensive even if it isn't directed at anyone, The punishment was deserved.

I wouldn't have said it if i weren't around people I didn't know, Steam overreacted and to be quite honest, if im not mistaken was taught to handle situations like that differently.

How long was the ban?

Seems like it was well deserved considering what you said, and knowing you over the past few days of your return on DarkRP all I hear you saying is random things through the mic, nothing racist or discriminative.

Its not the ban that worries me the most, Its the way he dealt with the situation. I have said it before and no one reacted to it, so why not say it again, if it truly offended someone in the room with me ( Gmod, Steam, Rsq, or Glacial) I can tell you he wouldn't be quick enough for the others to ban me. I just want the way its handled to be changed as the person doesn't learn from it, only you ban them, they come back again, you ban them, and they for the final time they come back again and you perma ban them. What is there to learn from that ?

Well i handled the situation differently because i know you slightly and you know the rule's and what you can / can't do / can and can't say, So instead of talking with you then banning you i just went for a ban because you should know better then to not say something like you did and i myself am not biased when it come's to punishments to people i know / don't know i treat them the same, I as a team speak staff member know how to do my staff position and how to handle situations.

( anyway just wait out your 1 hour bud you know it was deserved )

I think I would've handled it differently. Pulling him out of the channel to a spacer and verbally warning him would've cleared up a lot. But, I cannot say Steam's action was incorrect as you should know you cannot say this (Even though it wasn't aimed at anyone) because people might find this offensive.

I think it is wise to just sit out your 1 hour ban, and let it go.

I know racism is bad, but zarp people get offended way to easy

There is no abuse here. Your lucky I didn't hear you say that or I would have banned you for a lot longer then an hour. The rule says no racism, that means no racism period. You should know better.
