Formal complaint.

[Divusmors]

This is in regards to the player Hell Blazer.

First, let me please say that yes, he broke a rule. He has made a serious offending remark towards another player, and was properly punished. I admit that, and abide by that. My view on that is the same as the admin that had dealt with him.

My complaint, however, is of his IP Ban. He was punished for his offense with a jail time sentence. Many have witnessed that, and I am sure they all would agree. His ban, however, seems to be because he quit the game. I'm not entirely sure how other people would feel on that, but I do know that I, myself, do not find that to be within moderate control.

I'm sure Hell is a little pissed still, as this happened not long ago, and isn't likely thinking of filing an apology at the moment. But aside from that, I'm not only making this post in light of that, but just simply as a complaint of something that doesn't feel right to me.

Below is a copy of what I had witnessed in full detail, unedited as you may be able to tell from my battle.

Announcement - You have banned Hellblazer101's IP (130.13.196.24). - Rand - Announcement

[Rand]

Other people have been dealt with similarly, by myself and by Mahn. Ihave to wonder why you choose now to complain about it. And why you choose not to simply discuss it with me instead of dramatizing it via the forums.

[Divusmors]

You are an admin, Rand. It is not in a sense of dramatizing, but merely I don't feel it's in my place to go convey it through an IM directly for a matter handled publicly. That is one of the reasons this area of the forums was made.

I'm not always there and active to witness people being banned for quitting. If I have actually witnessed one, but merely didn't pay enough attention to it, then I apologize for my ignorance instead of speaking up for those.

As for other times, like back when I played my old characters, you know very well I had fought with admins over this stuff. This is not by a long shot the first time I have complained about this, merely the first time I have as Divusmor.

[Rand]

Like I already told people, if he comes on here and apologizes to Sarah, as she already apologized to me, for him, I will let him back on. If he's going to act like a jackass and insinuate things towards me for doing a job that is * No longer my fucking duty*, then he can sit it out for awhile. I'd MUCH rather not get told after 9 o'clock on a Monday night, over 4 months after I was supposed to hang these robes up, that sexual discrimatory words are being thrown around on Worldsay. Sorry if this bugs you, but I dont like my time being wasted. Nor people who are punished to act like assholes after they ARE punished.

[Constantine]

So? If Blazer has a problem with it he knows where the forums are. It's not your place to even be worried about this. He said he was quitting, Rand helped him along. He's lucky it wasn't me, or he'd be banned from the forums as well.

You don't harrass/name call ladylike players of the female persuasion. Rand shouldn't even have to be dealing with this.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE RETIRED!

[Divusmors]

By all means, that is fine with me. I don't mean to come off with a tone of bickering, I am just putting this section to use, for a complaint I readily have. In no way am I trying to drag this out or anything of the likes.

I am not asking for immediate response. Adminship have a lot of tough choices and decisions, I admit that as I have admined a game or two before. Take all the time you need to cool and think, if you feel even the need to.

As for how it is written, as I can kind of see a little, maybe, myself.. This area of the forums also has the highest expectancy of formality. Formality here conveys sincerity. I'm trying to be my most formal, because I am trying to be my most sincere as I type.

Your time isn't wasted, per se. You did your job, you handled a matter that had gotten out of hand. That isn't a waste. Yes, you should have been removed a long time ago, but that doesn't make the lot of us players feel your time is wasted. We respect you, Rand, because you still do a job you had quit. I respect you for that as well, and to have IMed you to discuss this felt like I was trying to bribe you. I did have an IM to you ready, but I changed my mind for this approach because it felt like a better one.

[Rand]

An opinion over an ingame matter in regards to me is better sent to me. If you forumize it, you're slapping me in the face, whatever your intentions, and anyone else will see it as that. I'm sure Stine's fuming to me on messenger proves that quick enough.

Thanks for respecting me and what I do. I appreciate that. But no one needs to have a lawyer on here either. Like I told Krabby. he can come on here and state his case like anyone else. If you have an opinion or complaint with a member of administration, you take it up with him or the group of admins personally. You of all people should know this.

[Constantine]

Complaint registered.

*Thread closed.*

One more thing: Rand didn't quit, he retired. Get it right.
