Biased Bans?

[Crassus]

I was recently banned on the player Gran_Canaria and the stated rules I broke was "Insulting, flaming ooc" and "ooc chat in system chat"

The ban was for 7 days for the sentence "get out of here you worthless piece of crap" which I said as a Zoner to a Phantom who retreated from me. This is perfectly in bounds of role playing I thought. I guess I was wrong because I was banned for 7 days.

When I looked at other player bans I cannot help but see that there is a character that had violated more rules (Insulting flaming out of character, Occ chat in system, and having a police tag with a pirate ID) which only received a warning and a fine of 15million

This players violation is far worse than mine, and the player has more sanctions on other characters yet his punishment is much less than mine. I cannot help but think something is wrong?

I read the admin's violation report and it doesn't just mention insults it cited you for rule lawyering at the exact same time which I'm guessing has annoyed them more than the insult. You say you've played for weeks but unfortunately you've never posted anything on the forums until now so the admins have no history of you and it may be that they're not impressed by what they see as someone trying to run before they can walk.
I read your reply to the report and you sound like a decent chap, but the admins get reports like this constantly about players who are clearly trying to push their luck and you may have suffered a bit as a result.
Best thing is serve the ban and start posting on the forums.
