I'm glad things have been cleared up some, but I would like to do some clearing of my own today.
I have already responded to you in our forum, but as you've not posted anything in response other than to ask Glenn if anything can be done about the bans, perhaps here would be a better place to do so. And in the meantime make things as clear as possible for everyone else who are cracking wise.
Nobody on our team is trying to ban the Nr6 regiment, or even any regiment. The closest we've come to ever banning a regiment was due to offensive tags freely admitted by that regiment, who quickly changed those tags after one or two were banned and the others consistently warned. As Dokletian will be aware by now, it was not Glenn who banned him and the other Nr6 members, it was me (well, I banned Dokletian, I haven't actually checked the logs yet but there is a 99% chance it was me, also). And I did not ban them or anyone because I have some weird vendetta against any regiment out there - as I explain in the post linked above, other than seeing tags on people's names in the server I have no experience of regiments and they may as well not exist for me. In all my years of playing Warband, I have been in two regiments - the 84e, an infantry regiment, for about a month before I got bored, and the League of Lancers, which I had to be coaxed and cajoled into joining and which had a shorter life than even my time in the 84e.
If I've banned someone, it's not because I don't like their regiment. Usually someone will be logbanned for being caught breaking the rules. To be as transparent as possible, I'm going to explain what happens and why. Last year, in one of our senior admin meetings, a new rule was suggested and agreed to be added -
29-12-2017
4. New rule (suggested by Narsus) "No racist, homophobic or otherwise offensive language or allusion to such."
One of the jobs the senior admins have to do is to trawl the logs daily to make sure the admins are doing their job properly and not abusing their position. And in doing so it's easy to type in a few words to search to see if people have been breaking the above rule. And not just that rule, two other rules apply here -
No insulting.
No flaming, homophobia, racism or any type of discrimination whatsoever. This includes "feg" "Hey fags" "Wassup nigs" and things of the type.If they have broken all
three rules but have been caught and warned by an admin, then I consider the matter closed. If they've broken it with no admin present, that's a logban. Unfair? Possibly. But in the last year or so I've seen the number of people getting banned for this get very significantly lower. They get banned, they post an unban application, they get unbanned, and 99% of them don't do it again. The server has less of the type of language we've banned which is better for all. Now, we (and I) get banter. It's all in good fun, and especially with members of regiments there is a lot of it. But we're paying to provide a server for you to play in, to our minds it's not asking too much for you all to just mind your language and get on with playing the game. Again, in the interest of transparency, here is a list of all the Nr6 members currently on our ban list -
Nr6_Hus_BremerFalco logban for insults using offensive language "fag" (Azhrei)
Nr6_Lt_Trashkletian logban for insults using offensive language "what a fag" (Azhrei)...and that's it. I'm as surprised as you guys. As shown in the post I linked above on our forum, I'd been lead to believe that I had apparently been on an Nr6 banning spree, which compelled me to write a post explaining that I don't target anyone or play favourites. So much for CavGF's great crusade against "a part of the regiment"! And here I'd been worried that people
were thinking we had a bone to pick with any regiment. It's possible other members are banned under other names, but the only players banned that have no tags (covering only last month since that's when BremerFalco and Dokletian were banned) are -
Zyzz logban for insults and constant teamkilling (Azhrei)
Koning_Willy logban for wallhugging and insulting admins "get cancer admins/im not trying to be brave cunt" (Azhrei)
New_Player is banned permanently by 8th_Huss_Cpl_Tulkas.
Ozikan is banned permanently by Iluvatar.
Bernie_Gurz logban for insults using offensive language "nigger/nigger faggot/Of course niggers u r so good at this game" (Azhrei)
Jew_Ugly_Homeless_Man is banned permanently by Azhrei.
Nocturno is banned permanently by Nr4_Rtm_~*Felix*~.
CecilRhodes is banned permanently by Thelemor.If any of the above lovely people are Nr6 members in disguise, then I apologise for our (or rather, my) apparent banning frenzy. They are always welcome to submit an unban application on our forum. As are you, Dokletian. I even asked Peradius the other night if you were going to. Instead of asking Glenn to do something about the Great Nr6 Purge we're apparently responsible for, amble along to our forum and submit away, and like so many banned before you for the same reason, you'll be back in the server in no time. And bring BremerFalcon along with you.
