I mean I am banned. But I got myself banned to take a break. Mono just does not hit like it used to. hopefully when I come back I'll feel that way towards it again.
Stuff like this does not help the server, it ruins the experience for players and staff, that's more sits the staff has to take, this is more refund requests that need to be made.
A lot of players do this when they leave like MRDM, then 2-3 weeks later they decide to make an appeal saying "oh I didn't think I wanted to come back" and then players say we are being too harsh and need to unban players to increase our player count. Sorry but if you are a player who is going to MRDM just because you don't want to play or didn't get your way, then your not a player we want playing on our server.
So in total players (not puvz in particular just happened to bring it up) by breaking a rule ends up being a lot more time than staff has to dedicate their time to.
Let's give a basic scenario, lets say a player broke a rule for RDM and the situation needs to be voided.
- Ticket had to be reviewed and sit needed to be taken, 10 minutes including staff looking at the video, maybe logs.
- Alternatively, let's say it was taken on the forums that could be a much longer process of waiting for responses and video evidence. 20 minutes reviewing.
- If any arguing is done or players want you to "Copy and paste the rule" could be another 5 minutes of the situation.
- No SA+ on which means a refund request needs to be made for the voided items that were lost, which means now that the player takes 5 minutes making a report, the SA takes 5-10 minutes reviewing the report looking at logs, and having to wait for the admin to make a reply confirming the situation.
- Then the SA has to issue a refund in 1-2 minutes.
So a ticket is not a quick 5-minute thing, some might be but not many. Plus this doesn't account for if an appeal is then made, or punishment was given, staff report was made, player reports, along with a long list of things that come along with staffing is not just being on duty in the server, so please keep that in mind.
