Chat Mutes are Ridiculous!

Hello!

I do understand your frustration, however, the only way you could prevent it, would be by going over the rules very carefully and making sure to follow them accordingly.

Firstly, 'Excessive Inappropriate Language' is the punishment given to a user when they sent 3+ curse words in the same message. In my opinion, this rule does make sense as it was made to prevent the chat from becoming full of negative and hideous messages that could be sent by the players. Added to that, you can be muted off of a chatreport or a forum report even if you are not online at the game at the time of your punishment.

Regarding the 3 days a staff member has to respond to your appeal; this is indeed a thing and it has been around for a very long time. This is needed because staff members need the time to look at appeals and respond to all of them, which are not few. In your case, you were muted for 12 hours. It does happen, sometimes, that a staff member cannot/does not answer your appeal in time, however, that is completely fine. Your appeal can still be accepted, if that is your concern. If the staff member is in LOA (*Leave of Absence*), they have a different time span to answer to it, as well as admin punishments.

Admin punishments, or just LOA staff members, in general, are not a 'privilege' for players, these are actually variables, we can't control them. It depends on who punished you, and who punished you only. I can assure you, you're not being left aside or being treated differently, only the circumstances vary. In your case, neither is happening, so there is no need to worry about it.
These two scenarios are really easy and simple to explain; staff members on LOA, as the name says (leave of absence) have more time to respond to appeals as they are basically not online during that time span, so there would be no reason for them being online to answer to appeals, in general, and leave the other things to the side (minutes, discord, etc). They are literally stepping aside for a while to sort irl things in order to come back ready to focus on the server once again.
About the admin punishments, these are usually more serious punishments, that being said, they really do need to be looked at for a longer period of time when compared to other offences.

As a final remark, I do understand that you can be really upset with this situation, however, as I said previously, the only way to prevent it is by going over the rules and reading them carefully. Your mute had a 12 hr duration, it could be much worse, if you consider the other punishable reasons. Staff try their best to make the server a better place and to ensure players like you and me have a great time here, however, rules are rules, and we must respect them!

I hope this was somewhat of a help for you!

Have a lovely day!

 

I agree with everything you said and also this server doesn’t have 1250 players as it spoofs/bots 1000+ players so that’s another thing

 

Hey there!

I responded to your appeal literally one minute after you submitted it with proof + the rule itself, so not sure what you are complaining about there.

Otherwise, if you want a chat rule to be changed, feel free to make a server suggestion instead of making whole rant threads that serve no actual purpose.

Have a great day!

You’re 15 and you cuss more than a cod lobby lmfao

not surprisingly you got muted for it

I’d recommend reading the rules couple more times so that you won’t get muted for “stupid” reasons again

other than that I’d just be careful not to get perm muted after 40+ offenses. I wonder what your reaction would be

 

This is the second time you have created a thread complaining about the rules. Like I’ve said, rules are meant to be there. If Mabel provided you with sufficient evidence of why you got muted, don’t make an entire essay complaining about it because it is only gonna make the situation worse than it needs to be.

I will be locking this thread so it doesn’t spark any more arguments.
