Realm/Gateway: useast
Why are you banned: votekick abuse
Why you should be unbanned: the person who complained failed to see that Red was dropped from the game by disconnect prior to being able to pick the game mode. Every other person voted to draw and pink refused to respond to chat requests as to why. The complaintant then joined another game and in the game chat admitted that he was not paying attention and threatened a ban. http://storage.entgaming.net/replay/dow ... 195652.txt

@donotpingme There was no threat - was simply informing you. Please read the rules (general and games-specific) and then copy and paste the relevant ones below. Doing so can help with reducing the duration of your ban.

Did you review the game replay on the game before you banned three players? Why did you not ban all players of the game as I did not initiate the votekick? I request another admin review these three bans you established on this game.

@donotpingme I reviewed all of the people who voted "Yes" to the votekick and banned all of those who did. I am going to ask you once more to do what I have asked of you in the above comment.

It takes more than three votes to establish a votekick and you only banned three players. I call foul. (The vote should not have gone through unless all had voted). And I have the right to request a review by another admin. Why is the appeal being responded to by the same admin? The game players also have the right to vote out game ruiners. Anyone refusing to vote or respond in this situation is a game ruiner. You are applying rules without considering the circumstances. Circumstances that would lead any reasonable admin to reject the ban request outright. While this all happened there was not one tower built... Not one wisp made... but you want to force the rule on the game when EVERY OTHER player voted to restart. http://storage.entgaming.net/replay/vie ... 195601.w3g I also want to point out that your leniency in claiming there was no communicated threat shows favoritism. What is this one of your personal accounts here? Let's just leave this out there as a resolution that you directed after responding to your own unreasonable ban. Can't wait till Ent fills those vacancies and gets rid of their dead weight.

@donotpingme
1) I count 4 bans - viewtopic.php?f=24&t=122555&p=476162#p476162
2) This is common practice that the admin who executed the ban is the one to handle the appeal - in this case, it is pretty cut and dry: you votekicked someone who did not draw (it is in the rules that drawing is not mandatory; therefore, you cannot votekick someone for refusing to draw)
- This is why I asked you to read the rules
3) Not every other player voted - yellow and I did not vote - does not require 100% response to draw a game

I am going to deny this for now since you do not appear to want to cooperate and actually read/ understand the rules. This should be a fairly simple appeal if you would actually attempt to understand that this is bannable. Regarding the rules, we have discussed changing this, both internally and publically, and despite going over it multiple times, it was decided upon that the rule will not change surrounding drawing.
