"What?  What do you mean you're arresting me?  You didn't give me a warning first like that other cop did!"

All I did was say fuck jokingly when he told me to stop cursing, I get kicked, rejoin, stay in chat a bit, and then he bans me.

[RavingManiac]

Cursing may warrant a kick, but definitely not a ban.

[IndonesiaWarMinister]

yeah
you spammed the forbidden words too many times. AFTER you been warned..

[Captain Mayday]

Hey, where can I protest about a #bay12games IRC admin abusing power?

All this over a 24 hour ban? Why not try to learn from the mistakes that got you banned and not repeat them in the future. Calling people Hitler and denying any wrongdoing (even though there's ample evidence of it) just makes you look like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum.

Since you've carefully ignored my last post, I'll just say this:

A lot of the behaviour getting you banned seems to be "joking".  So far I haven't seen anyone laugh.  You might want to think about how often people actually find your abrasive jokes funny, and whether they're laughing at or with you.  Chances are, if no-one does, it's not them that have the problem.

He's lucky we don't have a hammerer yet.

Kicking was tried two or three times, and found to be ineffective.  He would simply come back seconds later and swear at us. The message was not getting through. Hence: the ban.  This was the correct course of action.

Toady is lucky, he's getting lots of practice for when he has children

I said "HEIL HITLER" in responce to the admins kicks because they seemed a bit nazi-like.

[Vengeful Donut]

This is all rather dramatic.

Wow.  Did you think of that yourself?

If you've been kicked for anti-social behaviour, calling someone a Nazi (a much diluted in these times, but still horrible, insult) doesn't do much for your case.  It's not funny.  It's not clever.  Can you really picture anyone responding to that in a positive way?  "Wait, you're right, Hitler did censor and exclude people.  We should set aside our own feelings and be more accepting.  Sorry, mate"?

Seriously, why are you surprised?

It wouldn't be an internet forum if there wasn't drama!

[Helmaroc]

I don't get why someone who's banned on a chat then goes to the related forum to complain about it. I would take advantage of it and try to stay out of trouble on the forum.

Sometimes I wonder if some of the forum/chat users even play DF in the first place.

Just lock this thread. Everything that should have been said has been said, and there;s not much point to bickering any further.

Problem solved, thread done.
