Let's fix this

[Xenon]

Do you think that the community is angry because of the bans?
No they are not, it's just the friends of the banned people in which 90% of them act the same as the banned people but their time did not come yet.
There are many who feel that the server is now more clean than before, since lots of trouble makers are gone, starting with @"Snak3" ending with @Impyness

I don't usually post much, I prefer to observe, but your posts have caught my eye as of late, so....
....allow me to clarify it for you, I'll try to be as "respectful" as I can.

Seeing you are relatively new (right?), I don't suppose you are in any position to throw such accusations, let alone pretend you have a point, and when you get properly countered, you back off with trivial reasons. That said, I'm pretty sure you have no freaking idea of those people. Like Karst for example.
Anyway, to get to the point - I've mostly never dealt with any of the banned, except for Lyth. And you know what? Most interactions I had with him left me a bad taste, and in fact, our opinions clashed more often than not, but nevertheless, I'm prepared to act objectively, and impartially, and stand by my point, which is: no reason? Then the ban is hardly valid. That's how I see it, and right now, I can't see any solid reasoning with regards to rules, at all. You have to understand the complexity of what I'm trying to say, it's not just about the bans, it's the transparency and the mechanism of how those bans were handled. It was also unusual with regards to the common mechanism of how sanctions are handled in this community, and this further weakens the staff's position and credibility in the eyes of the community, which of course, is not good.

Don't understand me wrong, the staff is decent, they invest a lot of their time and are doing their jobs, and well.... they aren't perfect, but then again, no human is perfect. They make mistakes, not often, but they do, just like all of us. And this case, is one of those mistakes, or should I say it more precisely - one of those wrongly handled decisions.

As for your posts - I suggest you stop mocking people around and trying to be the devil's advocate, pretending to be "respectful" whilst throwing baseless baloney at people, it doesn't work too well.

I am very old player here, and i play this game for over 11 years. I just have a new 2016 nickname for some of my RP which is Mark Hamann, and my older nickname was Xenon.
I am already talking from personal experience with most of those guys. I already mentioned before that i don't know @Karst good, and i will not be judging him, and also i said about him, that i am sure that the admins do not run amok banning anyone on their way without reasons. The history of the current administration team says that they do warning, then sanctioning, then bastilling then more and more .. it's degraded punishments and when it reach the maximum, it end by 6 month ban. I also said about @Lythrilux that he was acting wrong from my prospective in old times, although he is very organized leader of a faction, i told him that on voice chat. But ... he lately changed, and his replies on forums towards problems were escalating things in a bad way. But he is good person at heart from what i know about him, he did mistakes and so we all do in different extents and levels. I also talked about the rest of the banned people and i will attach to you in a spoiler what i said. I am not a hater and i don't hate any of them nor anybody else. i just hate the behavior and attitude.

my words

To Everyone

I never thought that this day will come, because it took a long time .. but i am surprised actually and can't believe it till this moment !
I have seen tens of players, and i mean tens of players leaving this beautiful and well organized community and game server because of some of these banned names. I, myself, left the server and requested by my own hands to be banned using @Xenon nickname because i was so angry from the admin team... Why i was angry? Simply because i kinda figured so easy that most of those banned players were trouble makers and i didn't have enough proofs so when i just imagine what are the amount of proofs that i can grab if i was an administrator here, i find that they will be a lot of proofs that i can find .. and that fact was making me angry thinking that the admins have some kind of reasons which i can't understand, forbidding them from banning such known and famous trouble makers.
Now, i am shocked! .. because what i thought will never happen, just happened and from my point of view, the discovery community and game server just removed a big barricade from it's way because that barricade was very sophisticated and complicated ...
The worst thing that can happen to an honest admin, is to deprive someone from playing. because honest admins care a lot about the work happened and still happening on this server, so rest assured that the admins are very annoyed by this decision BUT .. it was the right decision ladies and gents. I know some people will hate me for saying my point of view, but i won't blame them, because the truth always hurts and i am not that kind of people who decorate words so i gain your admiring ... no matter who you are, it's not in my personality to climb on someone to gain someone else satisfaction.

To @Lythrilux - You was more than a trouble maker, but i thought you will change so after i left the server for a while and came back, i found that you slightly changed to the better then so fast started to become as before. I don't know your age actually but i was reading most of your debates and conversations on forums without commenting. Why? because i promised @"King Boo" when i returned back that i will stay away from any debate or argument on the forums specially when it includes those famous trouble makers, known to the entire server. I hope that you come back after 6 months better and with a new mindset full of fun and respect to others. Trust me it's not hard and it require some maturity, that's it.

To @Impyness - I never seen someone so talented at bending the rules and working on the leaks to abuse players. I never thought that you can be a mature player or have a good game spirit so i was always evading you although i couldn't evade your never ending meta-gaming. I even asked @Antonio on the discovery teamspeak server to make my channel players invisible because you was using your untagged JM ID'd ships with names like "Green.Peace" just to ruin traders time not for having fun and practicing piracy. So you was watching people on teamspeak and login when they login to harass them. It's wasn't only Junker Congress or me, but also Samura players and many others. I learned from this server that when i meet a pirate and ask me to drop all my cargo or ask for any demand that will not be fulfilled, then it's 100% you or people that act like you and they are few here. Some of them are banned with you and some are still loose but the hammer will catch all eventually. Actually @Impyness i never wished that someone will get banned and never come back before, but you are the first. I hope i don't see you again unless you become mature, which i doubt, not even after 100 years.

To @Mephistoles - Actually Meph, you are the reason why there is not a single POB in the GMG controlled space but yours, which you just lost too, and that is because of your worst attitude and garbage RP. Actually, there was no RP at all, and you was one of the people whom i never found useful at all .. I am sorry to tell that, but i wont lie, and will tell the truth about how i really see you. In fact, you don't fit at all for being here, and i agree with banning you permanently.

To @Karst - I didn't see from you much to judge you but i am sure that the admins will not just ban you because of nothing so the only thing i have for you is that i wish you good luck with whatever you decide to do and i hope that you change and come back fresh one day to have fun and be useful for this great growing community.

To @Swifty - I never seen you as a good useful player to this community, and i will say nothing more about you.

To @"Snoopy" - When you was a moderator, you helped me with some things although i know that you hangout with the same trouble makers group who use racism and even more bad things here but i hold respect for you until you destroyed it completely ... I was reading your posts and how you totally changed !! .. you become something else other than the @"Snoopy" i respected before. I wish for you to change and come back fresh later for better fun and good time.

To Administrator Team

I know how it's so hard for you to take such a decision but you are LATE ! .. don't be upset about my words, i will only say what's in my heart towards you. I won't decorate my words to make you feel comfortable because i hate to be that person. I will just tell you what i feel.
You are awesome and you do great work here, you was just late but i see that late is better than nothing so don't be upset about your decision and raise your heads high because you are doing a noble act here. You moderation and administration here without any fee. without anything in return so for me, you are great people, but you still are humans. You will be sad and happy, lazy and active just like all of us in different times but what i am sure of, is that you are honest or at least the current team in charge are. Don't be troubled and don't hesitate next time to kick the trouble makers. I know it takes a long time and lots of votes and watching and collecting of proofs ,,,, I agree with you and all i am asking is that you continue and removed the rest of these trouble makers from the server then watch the discovery community growing bigger and bigger because today, discovery is somehow reborn.

Thanks for reading my thoughts and i know that those banned player's friends will attack my words, but i don't care - I will only care for constructive threads and will never break my promise to @"King Boo" - Thank you again for giving me another chance admin team, and i wish that you keep on working at this server and make it better and better - Stay as you are, accepting feedback without being defensive. You guys are cool and i hold very high respect towards you.. Good luck and love you all.
