Admins, I'll post on this when I've got more time as I am a bit tired (5:30am). So it's subject to change. The accuser, minus their tag and with a new account, is making several accusations here which seem a bit vague or misleading. - I really don't care whether or not you put my name in the thread title. I'm more interested in the detail. - At no time have I ever insisted "no one should talk in the chat box while in game". Neither have I claimed to "the best admin in a server that never has any players". - I have never asked to be a recruit. Even if that were true, what actual bearing does this have on your complaint here? - If I race against some of the best drivers on ALW, so what? I hardly ever even see you on there and I fail to see why I should stop on account of the stuff that mostly takes place elsewhere. I don't hate all ALW's. When I joined IRC tonight, Taint started with the remarks. As he did not give the impression he wanted to be treated like a rational adult, I just left him to his own devices. He then appeared intend on being more disrespectful, inferring that I have or would, go on a "banning spree". It's me that has to fix the damage when people come to expect it. Previously I've also had an ALW member telling their clan-mates to ban me, which leaves me wondering what if anything I am supposed to have done on their clan server, or having to explain to people I would never ban anyone without a valid reason. I contacted the ALW server owner (Acid), who came across as being helpful and calm. Certain ALW members appeared to have scant regard for their upholding their reputation as a fair and respectable outfit, so I mentioned these things to him. This was not something drummed up overnight. The spamming, flooding, impersonation, arguing and use of IRC to provoke or escalate conflicts was spoiling the fun of the Green server and could spill over elsewhere. So out of courtesy I spoke to their server owner. More often than not, I find that a lot of what I see on Green's MTA server seems to be associated with some (not all) ALW members. However out of respect for the community as a whole IF it comes down to not playing here and letting them carry on as they are, so be it. I am not using this game server until at least after Christmas.. no Slayer, it's not because I am grounded (bit too old for that), but because one family member is ill and I don't expect to have the time to play. Thanks a lot for your impartial and professional opinions.
