That is exactly my point, it is a question that can be answered by the general populous of the server, so why shouldn't it be? Some of the general populous know the rules better than SOME mods and admins, so why shouldn't people be allowed to ask the people of the server a question of the gameplay.

I haven't tried to find any loophole, there is nothing in the rules that says you can't ask the people of the server a question about the game, i've said it before and i'll say it again, if people start making F1 requests with silly questions like 'how do i fill up my car?' all the time, you'll go out of your mind.

There is nothing in the rules that says you can't use upper case text in OOC, i've seen plenty of people do it and nobody has ever said anything. He was told to use F1, yes. But then instantly muted after being told, you also left this guy muted for 30 minutes, which is completely out of order, he had to relog so he could talk again.

I don't see how requesting a Tier 1 warning is making a mountain of anything, requesting a ban or demote would have been making a mountain out of it, you discouraged the gentleman from playing upon the server, by needlessly muting him, and that is not the attitude i expect an admin to greet a simple question with.
You are the one who asked me to take it to the forums, so i have, so don't say i'm the one making a mountain out of anything.

[quote=Christopher] It is still a question that can be answered by everyone - and that includes admins.

[quote=Christopher] The mute was still valid in the form that he was told to use F1, the messages were all in upper case and they were meta gaming.
