Thanks For The Ban

For not losing {noob} from my name. I have had that fucking tag on my name since the night that the clan was started. I may not be in your clan any more, but your clan also isn't {noob} any more. After all this time I finally get asked to change it, and get banned for mentioning that I was the second person to jointhe clan, before chaning my name.

GG's "{qoou}".

Did SK do that?

SK also changed my name to "smartass."

That's absolutely admin abuse. Bitchy never does those things to me :( Could I complain about that here instead of making a new thread?

You weren't banned... I just kicked you for the match (which by the way lasted for less than 2 minutes). I asked you to remove the tag and you started arguing. I decided I wasn't in the mood for an argument during the game.

Look at the graphic at top of the page... we use {noob} and {qoou}.

Just so you know, I am just responding to what I have been hearing from clan members on TS. I can't tell you how many times that I've heard someone ask, "Is baldwin even in our clan?" from different clan members. If most people think that you're not in the clan or don't know if you're in the clan, then that's not a strong sign... regardless of whether or not you started it x number of years ago. AFAIK, there are few, if any, original clan members left. Denial, maybe?

I for one as a clan member, don't like people using the tag if it's not clear that they are in the clan. Clearly these issues can be resolved with a poll.

No... it was me. I'm just doing my duty as an admin on the server

I definitely didn't do that.

I'll second that. I've also heard people ask, even people who I know have been in the clan for what I'll deem as "forever" ask "is bbaldwin even in the clan?" and I say "I dunno.. he's not on the forum usergroup thing..." but then you (bbaldwin) say you started the clan. I'm willing to honor the fact that you started it, but you've got to commit and let us know if you're still in it or not.

In terms of people using the clan tag, no one should be allowed to use it unless they're a member of the clan. It's pretty easy to get in (even I did it, c'mon) and it isn't the end of the world to go without a {qoou} tag for 7 days until a poll ends and we decide whether or not to let someone join the clan.

I hope that's not sarcasm. I know you wouldn't do a thing like that though, Bitchy. You're very respectful of the other players on the server.

Good. I didn't think you would. I don't think that was very appropriate for SK to do though :cry:

you have got to be f***ing kidding :roll: i changed your name for good reason, and anyway it only lasts for one match. admin abuse? give me a break :roll: if it offended you that much ill make sure not to do it to you anymore but damn if your the only one to ever complain about such trivial lighthearted fun :shock:

You did not change my name for a good reason. That's BS. Personal satisfaction does not qualify as a "good reason." De gave you admin power on the server so yoou could take care of it and uphold the server rules, not so that you could change people's names around and have fun at their expense. That isn't cool, and it isn't cool that I didn't notice for a while either. :P

Sorry but bbaldwin was one of the founding members of this clan, and if he wants to wear {noob} I don't see why he shouldn't be allowed to. :roll:

On another note, whys everyone so hostile??? I think there's better things that we can focus our energy on. :?

Hostility is fun!

BB - Did you decide that you missed us after quitting UT for the 100th time?

I would never say anything like that to get my name changes :wink:
Though De has had many ways to "test" the admin powers on me

No, I don't remember which came first. I can't remember which level I said that on, but I think it was Frigate after the map restarted, which was after he changed my name :(

Hmm... Why can't admin just leave us alone?

I was playing overlord once and Bitchy ended the level because we launched when she didn't think we should have... WTF?!? It was 4v3, but that doesn't justfiy it in my mind. What's next? Changing levels because somebody is spamming? ffs, just let us play the darn game.

Yeah I think I was playing in that game with you. We launched and then went to defend and Bitchy closed the map. I didn't mind so much because we won by default (it said so :D) but I didn't really like it. I don't think that was such a big deal though.

On that particular night, there were some people who were being complete jackasses for quite some time. Their behaviour caused several people to get angry and leave. There was some discussion about their behaviour but they continued being jackasses so I ended the level. Interestingly enough, they stopped being jackasses after that and the rest of the night was filled with good UT play. I'd say my plan was successful.'

Part of being an admin means that sometimes you won't be liked. The goal is to always make sure that the gameplay is the best it can be.

In the past, we haven't required a poll for members who have left for a while and decided to com back. If that were the case, we would have needed to vote on bitchy:
http://www.qoou.com/viewtopic.php?t=665

bbaldwin isn't even wearing the {qoou} tag! He's wearing the retro {noob} from the clan that he never left. Sorry, but by banning him you guys are turning a non-issue into an issue.

In what way does wearing a {noob} tag effect gameplay?

If you don't want to hear about anything, don't have a forums. :P
