Mysterious Banhammer

Hey, I couldn't find the MFs TTH server in the directory area (I think it's the Australian server, so not sure - admins please forgive me for posting this in the wrong area), so I'm just going to write an appeal/gripe here.

I keep getting banned from there for no reason. I think one of the admins doesn't like me, or someone accused me of griefing, or something. I have superb ping with them so I don't think it's a pingban.

I think the first time it was because of language, but as I said - there's no server directory so I didn't know the rules. The second time I was banned for wanting an actual griefer to get kicked. I was vocal about it and I guess they didn't like me rocking the boat. Quite a typical Australian attitude - us Kiwis share it so we know it well.

Anyway, I'd just like an explanation. It would also be nice if I could repeal the incessant bans. Not sure why you'd have a gripe with me - I don't cheat, hack, or grief. Anybody else experience ban-happy servers? It's really rude when you get banned from the only server that has decent ping due to living on an island with crappy internet.

Thanks.

On a side note (actually more important) I think the ban/kick system would be improved if you were given a reason upon disconnection. Being greeted with the disconnected screen is quite abrupt, and makes us confused for when we want to talk to admins and ask why.

Kind of the same what you suggested.

 

Yeah, makes sense. I like how we're able to suggest improvements/balances to the game here :)

A thought occurred to me about a half hour after I started this thread: what if the server gets a lot of traffic and you get booted for playing on there for too long? It would make sense, from a traffic management and fair-play perspective.

Still, a message would be nice. I keep feeling like they just don't like me on that server :P

 

There is no such function implemented in the vanilla game. The only "autoboot" there is, is the pingkick/-ban system.


//EDIT: I actually checked the server browser for the server you've mentioned, it doesn't seem to be online. I would've checked who's admin there, but that's not possible since the server's not online.
