admin admits he was in the game he is banning players from

[donotpingme]

Your Warcraft III username: donotpingme
Realm/Gateway: useast
Why are you banned: because an admin is abusing his power
Why you should be unbanned: viewtopic.php?p=476178#p476163
here in his final response the admin admits that he was in the game that he banned others from and then refused appeals on. I request another admin review this action. "3) Not every other player voted - yellow and I did not vote - does not require 100% response to draw a game" I want the association to be noted that this player is admitting the player submitting the ban request Is IN FACT THE ADMIN MASQUERADING AS SOMEONE ELSE!!! So in this game we have someone who admitted he wasn't paying attention and is banning people who refused to play a game short because someone mysteriously dropped before the game began on the team opposite his. What kind of operation are you running here?

[Daisy]

just the core information here,
you got banned because you voted !yes in a abusive votekick
the votekick was against someone because he didnt draw (no valid reason)
so where did the admin abuse his power there?

[donotpingme]

the admin wrote the request under an assumed name. Judged it and responded to the appeal and closed the appeal without allowing another admin to review or respond. This is admin abuse. While specifically requested in the appeal that another admin review the actions taken. And as the admin admitted to be playing and submitting Ban Requests under an assumed profile other than his own how are we to know that Reponses generated here are not his?

Hello donotpingme,

please link us the general rules and the game specific rules of the game(s) you got banned in, and highlight the specific rule(s) you believe you violated.
You can find them on our wiki.

That way, we can ensure another rule-violation by you, caused by not-knowing the rules, will not happen again. After linking us to the rules, we expect you to have read them. Cooperating with us will have a positive effect on your ban duration.

[CheW]

And just to add, an admin banning someone is not admin abuse. An admin also denying an appeal is not admin abuse, and you are allowed to have your 2nd opinion in a new appeal and I'll be happy to help you

@donotpingme
1) "Masquerading as someone else!!!"? That makes no sense at all...

2) As a moderator, I am well within my rights to ban someone from a game that I am in. As mentioned before and as @daisy mentioned, you have absolutely no grounds for this - you votekicked me and I did not break any rules. As per your last appeal, please read the rules in detail so that you understand them and the rationale behind this ban, then copy and paste the relevant rules below. If you fail to do this again, I will just deny the appeal and you can sit out the duration of your ban - you have had multiple chances already.
Also, I find it hard to believe that you are not familiar with the rules by now as you have submitted many ban requests.

3) "Someone mysteriously dropped before the game began" - I assume that you are accusing me of it. If I were to kick someone, there would be a system message retrievable and visible in the replay.

[donotpingme]

this is a case of an admin did not like being kicked so he is throwing a tantrum and banning everyone who does not bow before him as he shoves rules down everyone's throat because he at his own admission was not paying attention to the game he was in. So you are closing the appeal that is accusing you of admin abuse before another admin can respond? One more for the archives of abuse of power by a little man. And as I stated earlier as proven by your own admission you are using multiple accounts to interact on this ban. So there is nothing proving that @daisy is not another of your multiple accounts until you divulge exactly which accounts are associated with your IP address. And if the account that requested my ban (as you admitted is you) does not have the same recorded IP address that you have then I have my proof of Admin Multiboxing. Chew would you be so kind as to review that? I would also like it noted for the record that he had my profile banned permanently form ENT chat some time ago making access to other admins impossible and has personally deleted several Complaints I have filed against him in the past year.

[AmnoN]

@donotpingme
@chew has looked into it and responded and you still have done as he has asked. Once again, you are upset about breaking a rule that you do not seem to understand.

You are just grasping at straws at this point with the conspiracy theories... I suggest that you refrain from these and other personal attacks and focus on following instructions or you will not get unbanned.

[donotpingme]

We have not heard his second opinion on the appeal. And the proof has all been provided. There is no theory. You have condemned yourself. Now where is the authority to tell you that you have done wrong? Or is there never any such thing? Are the IP addresses the same or is he multiboxing? Please review my complaints he has removed. And why are you interfering with an investigation into You? Suddenly the profile stats of the accuser have been wiped but his game flag is showing Canadian while the Admin Shows up as USEast.

[AmnoN]

@donotpingme He has asked you to read the rules and copy and paste the ones below. I will not continue commenting on this until you comply with what is asked of you as you seem intent on wasting everyone's time by not following the instructions of myself or the second mod's request that you asked for as steps towards getting unbanned. The ban being legitimate is a forgone conclusion at this point (I will not speak for the other mod but feel that if he questioned the validity of it, he would not have commented asking for you to review the rules).

[donotpingme]

He stated he would give a second opinion on the ban and I am still waiting to hear it. So while you were the staff member that EVERY OTHER player wanted removed except for your other multibox entry which you knew would keep the game in play. You have been forcing losses and you did it in the following game with myself in it as well. You are multiboxing and dropping to boost your elo. And when you were forced into a restart you banned. That is fraud. Now start quoting me what rules you violated and it begins with Game Ruin. And if you idiots can't see an obvious Conflict of Interest when a Player is submitting a Ban Request... and the player becomes the Overseeing Admin... And the player becomes the Judge and Jury... And the player becomes the Appeals Judge that reviews the complaint of misconduct on themselves... and the player becomes the executioner and then buries everything... but everything is on the up and up. And in the following game while you were busy banning me did you not refuse to call the send until round 7 at the last second starving a 3 vs 4 team while not upping king after an immediate dc? Is "the professional" one of your ids? http://storage.entgaming.net/replay/vie ... 195652.w3g

The private chat going on in this last game you mention is just terribly amazing roflmao ("Hes testing us to see if we are serious" roflmao) - Also far more interesting how you were witch hunting him, expecting him to lead the team, while you were bitch-talking with your mate on private xD Got time to bitch talk, but no time to discuss sends? perfect!

Anyways from this one - viewtopic.php?f=24&t=122555&p=476162#p476162 seems like he might have missed the last person who voted him out:

Code: Select all

(01:26 / Allied) PuSHinC: !yes
(01:26 / All) PuSHinC: A votekick against player [r2p]AmnoN] has passed.

Anyways you voted to kick a user that dind't break any rules, so i cant even understand whats your argument here (like legit and evident votekick abuse, yet you're arguing whatever shit that crossed your mind)

[*]One player disconnects
[*]Draws are initiated
[*]1 (or more actually) dind't draw - could have drawn, but not mandatory to draw
[*]Votekick abuse is started
[*]You and the other dumbos voted to kick a player who wasn't breaking any rule
[*]You (and the other dumbos) got banned for doing so

Am i missing something here, or this circle of events can't be processed by your logic?

PS: But again its donotpingme aka throw everything against the wall, and it still wont light up lel

PSS: OH and no, im not another Amnon's forum account roflmao

False analogy. Nobody realistically expects a judge, jury and executioner. You got banned in a clear cut black and white scenario, it's not supposed to take separation of power and multiple independent investigations to deal with this.

This sums it up. You never specifically asked for a 2nd opinion in your first appeal, so amnon processing your appeal was no abuse.

When it comes to this very appeal, your second opinion goes as follow; Go read our Votekick Abuse rules and drop your diva attitude. Once you're ready to have some hindsight on your own actions, you may re-appeal.

Denied.
