No, the people trolling the server are stuffty for spamming it. Blaming anyone else other than the people who purposely spammed is completely stupid.
A gunman enters a bank, mask on, guns out, bag over his shoulder. 5 guards armed with semi-automatic rifles and bullet proof vests are standing at varied areas of the area. The gunman shoots 3 civilians, and the guards say nothing, do nothing, just stand there.
This is a stuffty bank. Second, they didn't spam the server, they spammed projectiles. Significant difference.
HMMMM....
Whoops sorry for having friends, haha! I'll make sure to block him because he did something that upset you.
Face it, your friend is a terrible person. There is no amount of damage control that can justify this.
Damage control? This isn't damage control. This drama is simply useless. Go ahead and ban them for all I care, however consider: you're banning them on the grounds of abusing events that don't belong on the server, in the hopes that they don't do the same on your server. Depending on what you host, that's a completely useless ban. Would you bother to ban someone who aimbots on a building competition server?
Opinion opinion opinion. Shut up. Quit playing the opinion card, because there is no excuse for this behavior. They were spamming the server and most normal people don't enjoy that. Drama exists so people can talk about abusive users who people may want to ban from their servers to keep them from ruining people's experiences. It's perfectly reasonable to ban these people because they're complete stuffbags who enjoy ruining other people's good time.
By that notion I can drama you for being rude. I never claimed the behavior was okay. I said I myself would ban them. The drama is useless here, as what they've done is an isolated incident using events. They can't do that on Zix's? Zealot's? Ravencroft, The Brighter Dark, Kris, Glass, Tezuni, Wrapperup, Dragonoidslayer... must I go on?
Pretty sure Badspot banned people for justifying stuff like this, something with moral compasses hmmm
I'd love to see Badspot ban anyone for that reason. It violates none of the forums rules, nor is it endangering anything for me to state that it really is NOT that big a deal.
There really isn't a justification for what they've done. They abused the server and prevented everyone from having fun. There is no "oh it's just once" or "oh it's a stuffty server" about it. They did something wrong.
They did something wrong. I think
EVERYONE has agreed with that. That isn't an issue. That's the entire damn drama. The question is, where were the admins during this? Why was the situation not handled to the point where this -deserved- a drama?
