Let's imagine I asked you if I could report an admin for abuse of power and you said "Yes" (which I assume would be the case). After my report, I find that the admin has permanently banned me. Would you then say that you didn't specifically say that the admin wouldn't ban me for it? Or do you agree that the implication would be that filing a (true) report would have no repercussions?

If Harry had a valid reason to KOS Prestige for injuring him and then Prestige turns out to be innocent then you still killed Harry when he KOSed someone for a perfectly valid reason. Oh this whole situation seems to be on the staff members fault for attempting to RDM Harry in the first place.[/quote] Because, implicitly, he's saying it's not something I'll be punished or KOSd for. He is an admin, after all, and when an admin says it's OK to do something, that's the implication; that you're well within the confines of the rules and won't be punished in any way.[/quote] You were clearly well within the confines of the rules, did someone punish you for it?[/quote] No, I just got KOSd for killing someone with a demonstrably valid KOS on him. Which, again, was implied would not happen when Harry said to go ahead and shoot him.[/quote] Implied in what way? Unless he specifically stated that "You will not be kosed for this" then you misinterpreted what he meant. By saying that you will not be punished, he was informing you that you would not be getting an autoslay/warn from a staff member. He can't control what other users do.[/quote] He didn't say I wouldn't be KOSd, nor did he say I wouldn't be punished.
