Edit: Thank you Swirlie for handling this well and listening to me. I have been unbanned as it was deemed unfair.




I've just been banned on OldCP for "Lagging [the] server".

I don't remember owning some sort of DDOS software or anything similar so I don't understand how this is possible.

I wasn't even /warned about anything or kicked before being straight up banned.

I've never jumped on the bandwagon of complaining about the mods but clearly this is ridiculous and the excuse "they aren't experienced enough, give them a chance" is stupid because that's what the PW is for. If you aren't trained to be a mod then you shouldn't be a mod.

you were lagging the server in spawn during a trial. this is a known rule. you'll be unbanned in a few days

I wasn't lagging the server, there were a few people farting in protest of the trial. That's not ban worthy, especially without warning /kicking/ speak to anyone about it first. I don't see how farting can "lag a server", especially when the server wasn't even lagging.

Actually we did all lag out at the trial, so...

A ban for farting should not be “a few days” long LMAO.

I love how I'm getting downvotes for pointing out that we lagged out lol

Clearly Jdutr didnt do it, he doesnt even know what happened

..... this is really.... nevermind no comment...

i mean i dont think it was intentional at all and it wasn't just him since it hink others were also doing it
but also i mean it did lag the server with a few people doing it

I know this is a bit late but I just want to make a statement:


When coming online and hearing about this situation, I had heard that you were lagging the server and a Moderator had asked if it was ban-worthy. I had told them that lagging the server is ban-worthy if done multiple times. That Moderator had then said that it was done a few times. If that's the case, then the ban was valid. I don't know all of the specifics, but if I was the Moderator dealing with the situation I would have at least warned, kicked then banned. I'm not saying what the Moderator did was right, and I'm not saying your point is invalid, I simply only heard one side of the story. I'm giving the way I would have handled it if I was in their shoes. Hoping something like this does not happen again. Sorry for your experience.

The best solution would be to have input throttling/cooldown so this isn't even a thing.
