So I joined Lugnut's "Zombies in the blue zone" (sp?) server along with TwenteFr

[Kiro]

Of course we did...

Celebrity/video game character names aren't considered serious roleplay names. While they are real names, yes, I don't want to bump into a James Bond while trying to avoid a Gordon Freeman who is introducing me to Alfred Hitchrooster.

Also, the server is strict: that's no secret. The reason why it's so big is because there's really nothing else to sit it against. I've heard nothing but praise from Comr4de's server, but I've never gotten the chance to play. The Bluzone seems to run perfectly fine in its current method of administration, even though it could be much better. Idiots are kept out while a small dedicated following stay in- and that's how it should be.

The issue is just sorting between idiots and people who didn't quite understand. While it's fun to have a joke, it's not fun to see 'Blockhead is now known as Ben Dover.' clog up the chat while trying to roleplay, and it takes up even more chat space when admins need to tell people to use an appropriate name.

The Bluzone just isn't for some people, and I'm not trying to force it down anyone's thtoats. While I'd agree it does seem a bit like that in a couple instances, I don't agree in generalising the server based on a handful of personal opinions.

We'll do nothing but disagree over the same things from here on, and I don't really feel like talking in circles for too much longer.

Bottom line is, an admin messed up and banned some players over a mis-understanding. Those players appealed their ban and are now un-banned. Everything beyond that just seems to be people taking cheap shots at a server they don't like.

I couldn't have said it better, accept the last part. The thing is, Ike didn't mess up. These goons are no different than the hundreds of other people banned for abuse of the /setname function.
They were warned in the welcome message
They were personally warned repeatedly
They used multiple silly names, not just one and done, so they were obviously richarding around.

Did you read this topic? Ike did too mess up, the only one with a non-serious name was Lub which I didnt recognize until I made this topic. And no we didnt use multiple silly names. In the beginning me and Twente had eachothers names then we switched to our real ones.

[TheArmyGuy]

Oh how much fun will it be to harass twente with the name JOEP.
JOEP VAN'T HEK.

[Blockoverlord]

This topic made my ass fall off from the sheer laughter. Seriously the server needs some changes made to prevent silly topics like this from being posted.

This is a lie. At one point Twente or you had your name as Huge Jass... You kept changing them and were pointlessly arguing with an admin for a simple, fair request.

Kiro, I think it's best you leave this alone. The users were also un-banned because they asked nicely and were rational.

Most people insult the admins and shower them in hate. This is a pleasant change that I appreciate, and it strongly influenced my decision. Don't see why I should punish anyone for being polite...

"This is extremely gay and we didnt deserve a ban at all. I demand you all hurl feces at Ike."

[Feep]

both joep and colten are IRL names

-snip-

speaking of which, isnt joep just a gosh darn silly name???
reminds me of nerds

[Chrono]

"This is extremely gay and we didnt deserve a ban at all. I demand you all hurl feces at Ike."

And then you read the next 3 words. "Or an unban." Which already happened.

[setro2]

All bans like this need to be lifted after a while. They should not be permanent, and we should at least get a warning or a kick before a ban. I got banned from setting my name to "Zombies Will Die", and got perma-banned for the reason "Inappropriate name". He didn't even give me the full ban reason you got, and admitted to me some of the ban was for being handicapped on the forums. Being handicapped on the forums (Which I'm trying my best to improve) is totally different from this server and the blockland game itself. I believe this host has rules which are way too strict, and that need to be changed.

[Awdax]

I remember that setro. It's funny, because they didn't ban you because of how you are on the forums. They weren't surprised they had to ban you, after seeing how you are on the forums.

[Kiro]

Strict rules are necessary to make good servers that are this large...
Also, bans should be permanent, and final. If people get unbanned after a while, some of them will still be sour, and return to ruin the server. Not worth it.

What I'm saying is he wasn't being nice about it at all.

[Pixel]

Wtf yes I was? Did you really thing I wanted people to figure out where Ike lives, drive to his house, and then hurl their feces at him? Stop trying to make everything more dramatic.

[Freeze]

I read this topic earlier and thought you guys were being sarcastic when you said you didn't think Seymour Bust was inappropriate xD
