Farewell from GTX 2018

[GTX_2018]

I am here to inform you that I will officially leaving this community do to the fact that I was mistreated from the very beginning. This mistreated has caused me to react in a certain way and say stuff that was not awfully out of line but considered. It is true that I was finally banned for the first time for something soo silly.

For those who didn't know how this happened....

in side mission as I was observing a player who was going to suicide, he got out of his vehicle in middle of enemy infantry and decided to go on foot. I happened to say things like "your suiciding!" followed by you going in middle of the enemy suiciding!" and was accused by certain staff that I was not nice to that player by saying those phrases. The question here is was i not nice by saying those things? or was it caring that had led me to say those things so I want him to survive and value his life. Here I thought we are RP role playing and we dont have second life or more like we act like we don't second life yet a staff accuses for not being nice. So I happened to say words that counts as staff disrespect such as "enough", other things (check chat logs) which was less severe than those common words like "sdfu" or "shut up" or the use of word F in chat or anything similar. So, I received a kick. Now when I was saying those words I didn't know I went out of line as I was "simply" trying to inform them that I am not saying words that are not nice to other players. however, here is the second problem, had I recieve a warning that I crossed the line of staff disrespect i would of stopped. but instead after a good 5 to 10 minutes I got kicked. I did not get a warning about the staff disrespect. here i thought a good staff would simply warning players that they did something wrong and next time you will either be kicked or banned. I do not get those kind of a warning but a good silent of 5 to 10minutes and suddenly kicked. that hurt my feelings and to see other staff backing this makes me sick.

 

I here to let you know that I don't deserve to hold this title "member of community" purely because I was banned for something "that I believe was wrongly staged" which has led me to say things to staff and, kicking without warnings. I wouldn't have said that if I wasn't accused of from the very beginning, and things during that day would of turned out better.

Now I came back three to four days ago to join and play the very same community again as I missed arma playstyle as you can see how active I became when I came back. And to be mistreated like this and to be staged is something awful and I don't like it. Now staff might have different opinion on how things happened giving that fact they can check logs and see who was at wrong but i wish if they can read the whole chat and check if how the things i have just said wasn't nice rather than checking the things I said to a member of staff which has led me to being kicked. I wanted to have a normal day but I guess things got out of hand.

 

It is true that I have made a ban appeal, because that how the system works, in order to get unban you must appeal for it. This is perfectly understandable. I have thought about it last night and I don't think i should be to blame for the entire problem, from getting kicked to getting a ban. the kick was staged and the member staff made me say things less awfully bad but considered to be kickable as it is disrespect to staff. Now if they let me know that I was out of line I would stopped but no one has said anything and after a good 5 to 10 minutes, kicked was placed.

 

It is embarrassing for me as a member of community to be banned for breaking rules and be disrespectful to others (staged again). therefore, my title should be stripped as I don't deserve it at all. to make matters worse as I said in the beginning, I will leave arma community and go back to my other games. Sadly i didnt want this to happen but I wasnt sure if arma and the community was right for me and to experience something like this makes me wanna get away. I am sorry if I have disappointed you "for those who knew me" 

 

- Another thing. I would like my unban request to be cancelled as I am leaving for good.

@GTX_2018 I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. After spending so much time with us on Eu1, teamspeak and on EU3 I would have thought you would have a better understanding of our staff as people. 

 

To me it seems like you are not taking responsibility for your actions. To simplify yesterday I will put in bullet point form and try to explain what happened, why it happened and why I agree it to be correct.

 

• Firstly you offered up some inflammatory statements relating to gender for which an admin quickly corrected you and you were warned not to continue the conversation.
• Less than 1 hour later you were negatively commenting on a players performance which you were politely asked to stop doing, to this you responded by berating the admin likely thinking that your tenure here gave you a right to behave like this. I was in teamspeak and agreed with the admins decision to kick you at that stage.
• You then connected to teamspeak, where you and I spoke about it and I informed you that your behaviour was not acceptable and was not normal for you as a player. You agreed this was the case and left to re-join the server. Which I thought would be the end of the saga.
• Unfortunately, you then upon seeing another player be kicked decided to join that players group in an attempt to gain traction to the idea that you were the victim and that the admins had somehow overstepped their authority in kicking you.
• For this you were given a 30 day ban under rule 1.1.1. AhoyWorld is a welcoming community that respects its members and visitors. We expect everyone to maintain this environment and will take action against those who jeopardise that community spirit. Admins reserve the right to warn/kick/ban users whose behaviour is deemed disruptive or aggressive and not conducive to a place of tolerance/friendship/comradery. Whether the behaviour is disruptive or not will be determined on a case-by-case basis on the judgment of the admin/admins present. 

 

With the facts laid out I will say that I would not have expected this from you as a known member of the community. I was also disappointed in how your demeanour changed when dealing with me. Why were you so dismissive of a moderator who is working hard to make the server enjoyable for all but would listen to me, the mod team should garner the same respect as a member of core Staff.  

 

If it were me in the first instance I would have kicked you for the first comment relating to gender. The moderator choose to give you a warning as is within their discretion to do so.

To insinuate that you did not deserve to be kicked after that is to say that your behaviour as a whole cannot be used against you only specific actions, which is untrue.

 

Honestly, I'm just upset about the whole thing. I was glad to see you back playing and had commented a few weeks ago that I hadn't seen you and hoped you were ok. as I do with a lot of players who come and go.

 

To take away from this I hope that you can reflect on the encounter as a whole and learn from it. 

Ahoyworld is a welcoming community and you are welcome back here in the future if you can learn and grow from this.

Many members have had a checkered past but we grow as people and as a community.
