First off. This is a rule on the MotD. The very last one I believe.It says "No inappropriate sprays" - that could mean anything, it's exceedingly vauge. It was not porn, it was yaoi.
Just because he's 17 does not mean he's not cut out for the job nor that his bans would be any harsher than the rest of us.Not saying that he isn't cut out, just a possible factor here, though given you being 16 it would make sense why you would be personally offended.
the console warnings - which are displayed in very large font across each player's screenWell that just never happened, unless he did it while I was In my settings changing my spray
No, it was 4 rounds, your friend left after you got banned because he wanted to play with you.He stayed on there for another round, I was talking with him on mumble.
Guy is obviously deserving of some of it, but you gotta stop acting so rashly.

In my experience, older admins are more likely to be balanced in punishment, just an observation.

And again, no justification for a permaban.

Just saying, yaoi/yuri/anything in between all counts as porn, and it's also a criminal offense to distribute porn to minors.

Just gonna say this once real quick. If you had properly appealed your ban, I would have no problem with reducing or taking your ban away. However, your confrontational approach to it is what has me up in arms. I find it's the people who confront their bans rather than opt to have them properly reviewed are the ones who end up repeat-offending. I'm not making any predictions about your character. That is just the facts I've gleaned from past experience.
17 and 18 is a year difference.I am not sure what the relevance of this is.
The ESRB rating for a game has no relevance to the server's rules. The server realizes the presence of children and aims to make the game an enjoyable environment for the entire demographic on our servers.QuoteJust saying, yaoi/yuri/anything in between all counts as porn, and it's also a criminal offense to distribute porn to minors.
A spray is far from distribution, if so, than any ISP that allows access to porn would be shutdown under this same rule. Nor would GTA be aloowed to be sold
Further, the game The Hidden is built on has an M rating from the ESRB which is defined as:QuoteMATURE

Regardless. Stop trying to turn it into "There was no chance for my spray to change." You had a chance to STOP spraying the spray. You failed to do so, whether you changed it or not. ESPECIALLY if you changed it in the settings and you have knowledge is doesn't change until a map change. In which case you realized you had been warned, attempted to change your spray and then continued spraying with knowledge of the fact it would not change until next map. Unless your reasoning has been false for not seeing warnings based on the fact you were in settings changing said spray. (In which case you should have seen the warnings.)
Anyway, again, as there was no map/game change, there was no way to show a changed spray. If a time ban had been applied I wouldn't even be here, as I have said he was in his rights to ban, but a permaban is not fitting to the offense (especially for never having had any prior offenses).
I do find it confrontational. There are plenty more constructive ways to go about this. Properly appeal your ban. Join the community. And then properly post an admin abuse or admin disapproval thread as a member of the community. Everyone knows attacking an admin in a ban appeal does not help your appeal.QuoteJust gonna say this once real quick.

I am sorry if you find my approach confrontational, I simply have been responding to what has been posted, along with facts of the situation. No different from what I have received.
You keep saying that it takes till the end of the map for the spray to actually change.
QuoteYou keep saying that it takes till the end of the map for the spray to actually change.
Yes, I changed it just before the ban, because the guy I was playing with mentioned over mumble he had been slapped. Then the ban happened.
I keep asking why you went straight for a permaban, but it still hasn't been addressed.
