Banned tonight and deserve it

Not sure as to which admin did it, but I was banned tonight. I tossed a nade into main and I know that it was wrong. I know the rules on the simple server and am totally at fault for not following them. I humbly request that the ban be lifted so that I can continue to play on your server. I certainly understand that there are consequences for not abiding by rules and will understand the decision, if it is to remain banned. All I can say is that I erred, and all I can do is put forth that I will do my best, from here on out, to abstain from temptation (it really is tempting)...but I understand that if one does it, then.... and totally agree with consequences are necessary to maintain an orderly gaming experience.
So...I was absolutely in the wrong and concur with the consequence. I would only request that it be lifted at some point so that I can continue to play on your server.
thanks

Re: Banned tonight and deserve it

Hey Sam, was a one day ban...ya know the big problem with what you did is that you are a veteran player and really do know better.  You summed it up quite well in your honest post.  When you do those things...others follow suit. It is very difficult enforcing SiMPLE rules when veterans cross the line.  That said...the primary purpose of a ban is the education and punishment of a player that knows better and breaks the rules.  For me it's more the maturity and education...since you seem to have the latter under control...you are good to go.

I added a saying on SiMPLE USA...it was directed at the veteran players like yourself...it says...

"Do your part to make it fun to play here."

Please do.

* Again...you are un-banned.

Re: Banned tonight and deserve it

PV,

I totally understand and have nothing to offer other than my pledge to resist temptation and play by the rules, that I am well aware of. I really do not need education. I deserved the punishment. If you want to lay some culpability on the maturity level on me, I guess I opened the door for that. Totally my bad. I appreciate the process that is available to ask for re-admittance. I appreciate your time in explaining to me why you booted me. I do not envy the position of admin. I am sure it seems like playground duty at preschool at times. I regret I was a part of that tonight. Thanks for allowing me back to the server. I enjoy playing there.

Re: Banned tonight and deserve it

No Sam...I was referring to my thinking regarding a bans reason...in general.  Punishment is only for those that are repeat offenders.  Education is for those that do not know better.  You were neither. So based on your words and my above position regarding bans...you were un-banned....that's all.

It in no way calls out or reflects your maturity...matter of fact...quite the opposite.

Re: Banned tonight and deserve it

***ATTENTION TO OTHERS:
This is exactly how perfectly a ban, followed by an un-ban request can be processed. With tact, poise, logic and recognition of the issue, followed by (as UNUSUAL as it may be) an apology. Perfect explanation of the reasoning too Pit. Could not have handled it any better either folks. Screw the time out guys. I am buying multiple rounds for all at the bar! TOP shelf only. This post is a thing of beauty.
