Edran, this is not about power. It's about people being douchebags and not admitting it.

' Wrote:O this is obviously one way ticket i already proved that my [Avenger] Al-Karam character name isn't offendable i send a prof that Joes translations are wrong wich is so obvious he made a mistake. But he whont admit it cause he is an admin he just keep this ignoring forewer. This server becomes something like Police state.

[4/19/2011 10:16:18 PM] Joe (Jihad): what do you expect?
Go to google translator and type on english "I'm so ****ing good" and than see what is going to translate on serbian or croatian "Ја сам тако јебено добро" so i dont see any Al-Karam word on any other form in that translation which proves name isn't offendable and who ever doing translations for Joe translate it wrong probably deliberately.
Bot ofcourse Joe isn't listnening so being inocent on this server dosen't mean anything all it mathers what an admin says preety much sounds like a police state to me...
And Joe when you gona change that "Jihad" name i'm so offended by it?!
Ok, so you have decided to put yourself, Jihad Joe and the other players involved on "Trial by Forum".
I wonder how the OTHER people involved in the sanction feel about it.
I have had a look at the thread in question and although it hasn't been pointed out which languages those name appear to be offensive in, it doesn't really matter.
What does matter is that the names used seem to be offensive in some language that players here on Discovery understand.
From what has been said in the thread in question, ALL of the names mentioned seem to be offensive to whoever placed that sanction.
One or two names in a group I could understand, but TEN?
I can't accept that even as a coincidence.
As you have seen, with most, if not all sanctions, it's not a single Admin who looks at a situation and makes a decision.
In this case THREE of them have stepped forward and said they are involved.
This is a FIRST for this server.
To the best of my knowledge, this has not happened before.
Whatever the Admins decide to do, they have my support, little though it is.

Nope, not going down this road again.
