The spray was of a homosexual nature ( a cartoon) , whereas people spraying naked women all the time results in no ban, and no one says anything.
Seeing as this admin is not only a pretty new admin, and also being 17, it seems the only explanation for applying the harshest punishment available. Plus, not even waiting for a game change so I could change my spray, makes no sense
Replying to Echo's post which was posted as I write this:
The sprays change when the map changes, not at the end of each round, sorry if I mispoke, but anyone playing The Hidden long enough would know what I meant. Again our names are *very* similar, so again they are easy to mistake. And if you said anything over voice, it was impossible to hear anything over the player who was yelling over the mic, and you know that.
And 4 rounds, please. I was only in there for 2, my friend was in there for 4 >.>
Also, you still have yet to justify a permaban, when I have never had any problems on any of the servers until you showed up.
First off. This is a rule on the MotD. The very last one I believe. Just because you're somewhat a regular does not mean you can get away with breaking rules whatsoever. In fact, it should probably warrant a harsher punishment in and of itself. If you've been around as long as you believe you have, you should know the rules and the admins and the fact that they do not tolerate breaking of rules of any kind.
Second, Echo is definitely not new. He's one of the older admins on the Hidden admin list and I wholeheartedly trust his judgement, along with the rest of the team. 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. Age isn't a factor in this. Maturity is. Spraying porn of any kind shows a blatant lack in that area, and we would appreciate the players on our servers to have some level of maturity. This ensures everyone enjoys themselves.
Third, regardless if you could not hear over voice, the console warnings - which are displayed in very large font across each player's screen - should have been adequate if you weren't able to use voice. If you didn't see the warnings, that is on you. From what I've read, Echo took every avenue he could to issue a warning.
Fourth, I don't have access to the logs, so we'll have to wait for Red or Pyro to confirm how many rounds you were there for.
Fifth, making comments about any of the admins being homophobic or attempting to demean them based on age, will NOT help your ban appeal. A ban appeal is an apology. It is the recognition of your offense and the willingness to atone. It is not another way for you to make an admin's job harder. Echo has done his job and to be honest, now this is a personal opinion, if this is how you were acting in game and now how you decide to go about "fixing" it, I would have probably issued a very lengthy ban as well.
Lastly, I hope you enjoyed your stay on the servers.
