If you RDMed then a staff member is allowed to punish you for it, whether you have proof or not. Similarily, if you appeal or report for abuse on the forums we can check the old logs to see whether they confirm your story, just like we are now.

I understand why you might be upset, and to a regular user this probably feels like unfair treatment, but that's how it works.

To give another example: if you mic spam and we gag you, we don't need to provide you with an audio transcript to proof that you indeed mic spammed, because we as staff know you mic spammed and we punished you for it. That's what the punishment system is for: to log all of the punishments you have received and misdeeds you have done.

[quote="Sparrow" post=616440]"As he is a staff member, he doesn't need proof" I hope you guys see how that principle is detrimental to the servers when its abused. We're talking about a guy who saw a T shoot people and an AFK next to him and said "I'll slay and warn this guy, I have enough proof" Thanks for taking the time, but there's reason to be pissed off here.[/quote] That's how staffing works.
