No idea, on KIB / what that is.

"Thanks again for trolling me in forums. I decided to look at your chat logs. Enjoy your 1-week ban being your third infraction for racism:"

That's why I can't stand you. Cause you're a dick. People don't like you and there is proof in the numbers. You and ceddeeoo have almost the same amount of posts, and he has way more likes and trophy's on the forums than you do. Because people don't like you. There is a reason there are flame threads and people trying to report you as a bad admin. Because people don't like you. Maybe if you weren't so prideful, and allowed it to get stung so easily, and were more fun to play with, it would be a different story. But you're a dick. So people don't like you. I'm in the military as well, and I've met people like you, and I hate to work with them. Cocky arrogant douchebags who run around thinking they're better than everybody.

Please take this very personal, and do everything you can to ban me to make your pride feel better, because frankly I could care less if I stopped playing here because you banned me. It would only make me feel better and prove my point.

And for the record, I have never, ever, seen you slay yourself for not completing objectives. Ever.

"Mr. Tea, later dude."

1st) That isn't rare Aimfish. We check the chatlogs on a lot of people who come onto the forums and post. Especially for people that we know break the rules on a regular basis, sometimes we forgot, etc. This happens a lot and a lot of admins do it. Breaking the rules is still breaking the rules.
2nd) Forums are a totally different beast. Likes&trophys aren't a good factor of how "liked" a person is. That sounds way to similar to Facebook, and everyone knows only attention whores compare their likes. And your critique is going to fall majorly short. While they may have the same amount of posts, Cedd posts a great deal on the public side of the forum, while Tea posts mainly in Ban Appeals & Admin side.

And now for a personal note.

People don't like Tea. I get it, he gets it. How about you just ignore him in-game and the forums. Then no one will have any interaction with him. If you ignore him in-game, and he takes action against you, or starts trolling, as least you have proof of him admin abusing in that section. I get that you think he's a major dick, but maybe some of you should take a look at yourselves and your clanmates? A lot of y'all are dicks, maybe not to each other, but to other people you may not know? Hell, I've seen a good deal of our regulars and admins be dicks to others.

Look. You're not going to get along with everyone, and for those that haven't been long-term (2+ years) admins in a larger community, you don't really know what being an admin entails. I've been on War-Lords for a while not, previous to that I was apart of a 400+ clan/gaming-organization that ran for a little over 3 years. Been admin on various servers from time-to-time before then, but yea.

Being admin isn't the greatest job. In fact, it sucks a lot more than being a regular player. Sure it's nice to have the power, but there's so many responsibilities attached to it, and the fact that you're automatically held to a higher standard to any other player. You're always on point, you can't joke around too much, and actions have a much bigger consequence attached to them. Combine that with the fact that we have to not only play the game but also watch over every individual then respond to calls in various servers? Having absolutely shit internet at my current lease, it's a giant pain in the ass.

Now, take that into account with the fact that Internet, and especially our servers aren't filled with the nicest people. We have 13 year old non-steamers attempting to troll everyone and spam, we have micspammers, people calling hacks nearly 24/7, we have our usual regular trolls, etc. It's downright annoying to have to deal with every single one of these assholes when we're just trying to play the game. But we do it because we enjoy the community, we love the game, and we want to ensure that everyone has a damn good time on the servers.

To people that just randomly come to bash, do you know how much bullshit that we have to deal with? Be active in a server, and play only in that community as the admin. People start sucking up to you for no reason, yes, but you also have the other type of asshole that is going to see how far they can push you, how far before you'll start "raging" It's pretty common and it sucks. Sometimes they do make you annoyed and you have to deal with them, but we don't ban them, we just let them play and they continue to push the limits. At that point you're left with a quandary, you could ban them, and then not deal with them anymore, but then they "win." They pushed your buttons to the absolute max. So you deal with them, you take it. This happens on such a common occurrence. I've seen a lot of our admins gag, mute, and kick for lesser infractions, and for infractions that they probably shouldn't have taken actions on.

Not everyone in the server is going to like each other, and hell, not every admin is going to be "cool" with one another. On my admin app here, a previous admin that's no longer with us blatantly lied on my app on my first go. Shit happens, I held a small grudge but I didn't confront him about it, it wasn't that big of a deal anymore, I just went on with my life. It's easy to critique Tea on his actions, it's always easy to play Monday morning quarterback, but the fact is your friends (if you're not an admin), or your fellow admins do the same shit, or take actions for even less.

Like I said before, I don't like causing conflict, I tend to stay out of it. But seriously, a few of you need to mature or chill out a lot and take a good look at yourselves when you talk trash about others.
