Some of this evidence is good, some isn't evidence.
I don't like the whole wait-for-a-ton-of-evidence-to-pile-up-and-then-report strategy. I agree with billy, it seems a bit unfair. A lot of these screenshots are 6 months old. Were they reported 6 months ago? If Billy was punished, good. If not, why the hell wasn't the brought up 6 months ago? It becomes a bit unfair for the admin. They don't remember what happened with those damage logs. Maybe the server logs would shine some light on the situation. If we want to look at the logs, cortez has to go back 6 months. (If we even keep logs that old). As Billy said, maybe it wouldn't have ended up this way if those screenshots had been brought up six months ago.
This thread is a huge mess of evidence/not evidence. Don't just a slap a bunch of demos onto an abuse report without watching them hoping it'll get your guy removed.
-snip-
To sum it up: Don't punish him for anything 6 months old. That's stupid. It's your fault for not bringing it up when it was actually relevant. It sounds like he's prepared to act better as an admin. The fresh evidence shows him abusing /slap . Regardless of whether or not the targets are okay with it, /slap spam is annoying. Not any other abuse, unless I missed it. He was already banned for the recent RDM. Maybe his admin should be removed for breaking the rules. The abuse is very minor though. Doesn't have to be removed necessarily. Plenty of admins have been banned and remained admin before.
pre-edit: Sounds like bloodmage tried to report the 6 month old shit. Makes me very happy it wasn't just neglected evidence like I thought. It wasn't reported publicly though. It should have been handled, but it apparently wasn't. Guess that's a failure in leadership? If you want to make sure the admin acknowledges it, public abuse reports work great. Sounds like Billy didn't receive word he was abusing his admin back then. It still seems unfair to me that he would be punished now for something that happened then. Especially considering the leadership apparently had seen the evidence.
Pre-edit2When someone comes in and RDMs one or two people - and I'm talking blatant RDM - would you rather:
Slay them next round
or
Let them live the next round to see if they KEEP RDMing, and then ban them after for mass/continuous RDM?
That's not the way it should happen. The first is proper. They don't get a fair warning if they don't get punished. There's a reason the we have individual slays instead of waiting for 3 RDM's to straight up ban.
You make a good point (referring to very bottom of quote). I'll stop doing that, then.
Also, where you said "this is good evidence, I wish it was all like this" those have been explained. The RDM was mutual, and the spam slapping, while annoying (I said I'd stop it, regardless) was consented to.
As Blackllama and crovv said, most of this evidence is very old - since before I became a regular admin.. And the newer stuff, specifically the richland and rooftop things were just goofing around late at night. I can't account for the "multiple complaints" because I don't know who was complaining, and for what reason. This once again brings up the fact that no one told me about any of this in the first place. I'm a mad of my word. I would have righted my wrongs and corrected my behavior a long time ago if an admin messaged me and told me people were complaining about the things I do.
