Breaking youre own buildings

Im so annoyed at the dumb admins who ban you for the smallest things.
I was on a server and got annoyed becouse i didnt like the base around the flag (i had made it all the rest of the team were just running around digging holes and placing traps).
So the admin comes on and sees me breaking blocks and he says that if i dont stop he will ban me.
I tell him its my building then he says that i cant break it becouse its needed to defend the flag (WHEN THE REST OF THE TEAM IS AT THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP)
So i ignore him and he bans me -_-

Another simmilar thing happened when i and a friend of mine had built a GIANT tower and there was only one enemie left and everyone else is at the enemies castle.
We decide to break the tower and this admin is standing there looking at it.
I say were gonna break it and he just ignores us and goes under the skybridge.
It falls down on him and he bans us -_-
Im so annoyed at the dumb admins who instantly ban you >=(

 

My suggestion would be to work upon stupid constructions in stages, making it perfectly clear that you do not intend to weaken the base in any way.

 

He told you not to, and you did it anyway. Can't really blame him for banning you. Talk it out next time, maybe he would understand with a little explanation.

My condolences.

 

Well, if you do random shit without explaining it, you look like a griefer, and if you dont want to explain yourself, while doing something irrelevant (why repair a base, when you could go to the frontlines and make something useful?) You have to think about how it looks, not your intent, when you do stuff like that as builder.

 

Ye kinda dumb of me to post "the smallest things" but i dont think breaking a tower you made yourself is that big a deal i mean really come on.

 

Well, it's kind of a big deal...
It still is your team's base, after all...

 

After you made the tower/base/building, it isn't yours anymore. It is the tower/base/building of your team. At least that are my thoughts. Most of the time when poeple break bases they are griefers. I do not think its strange that the mod banned you. (most likely its only a ban of 10 minutes right?) The moderators do what they have to do, and that is kicking griefers. (and some other stuf but that is not related to this thread)

 

People need to understand that if we see someone who looks like they're griefing, and they don't COOPERATE with us, to explain why they're not griefing, we will kick them. I don't think you realise how many people i've given the benefit of the doubt, because they have given me a reasonable even if slightly dubious explanation. Respect our decision and politely explain in full why we are wrong, and we will respect you and hopefully unfreeze/not kick you.

 

This. How did the admin know you werent lying?

If a Guard bans you it is only temporary.

 

To all you wondering the first server is taken down and i got unbanned on the second one.
Also the admin saw me build the base when i got on then later he left then he came back and saw me break it.
Im sorry for being vague on details it was really late and i just wanted to let off some steam.

 

In my experience it's not that hard to tell if someone is 'remodeling' versus 'griefing' but obviously some people have trouble with that. Gotta love it when people start cussing and throwing a fit because you broke a block they had an emotional attachment too.

I guess what I came to say is that it seems like the Guards should be a little more conservative in cases like this. Breaking a few blocks isn't going to ruin anyone's fun but banning someone (even for 10 min) will ruin the fun for one guy for sure.

 

I always freeze people before I ban them so that they have I chance to explain themselves.

Also it gives me an opportunity to deliver a snappy line before I boot them.

 

You need to be careful when repairing/upgrading your base, players are (rightfully?) paranoid about griefers

 

Same happens with me

 

Yes there is, which is why I always freeze people to give them the benefit of the doubt, aside from collapsing the entire main base.

The thing is though, if you'll look in this example, he said he collapsed a building which does not seem like just a simple remodelling. I can understand why the guard in question wanted to investigate.
