Ruin official event by combat docking with a titan: 2 weeks ban
"On the radar contact" memes: 1 month ban

Make it make sense.

Enough with these vague rules such as 1.0 that only serve to be subjectively enforced and confuse new players. For God's sake, Discovery has a shorter ruleset than your typical Garry's Mod DarkRP server, a game played by a significantly younger audience. If literal kids can handle longer and more specific rules lists, I'm sure the adults here can do that as well.

With the recent bouts of community drama these past few weeks, I think it's past time for staff to rewrite rules like 1.0 to be more specific, and ditch overly-vague generalities such as "Don't be a dick." For starters, how about adding a clickable drop-down box specifying what exactly breaks rule 1.0? If there are too many examples, then simply list the most common and relevant ones. This would greatly help in reducing player confusion when disciplinary action happens, as well as eliminating or at least mitigating players' feelings of being the victims of arbitrary and biased enforcement from staff.

And Haste, stop trying to publicly justify this erroneous decision from your staff team. Instead, talk to them privately and have them reverse this clear mistake. You've already alienated enough players with your misguided anti-fun game balance philosophy, we don't need to lose even more of them due to fear of unfair sanctions/bans like Mort's.

The Combat docking wasnt on purpose, i also apologized afterwards and i took full responsibility. If the /autobuy command wasnt on, the event would've continued normally. FYI, the event wasnt really ruined, i docked right before the final phase without having in my mind the autobuy command was on. I am not trying to justify myself for my dumbass mistake, but shit happens. I would've accepted 5/6 months bann as well, i understood my mistake and i accepted my fate, cuz a lot of ppl were pissed off at me, which is quite understandable. If i was in ther shoes, i would've been mad as well, but not that much to throw personal insults, which was unnecessery from the to be rude in such a way. From all my years in Discovery, i havent insulted anyone in a personal way or with full hatred, even tho i have been butchered numerous times without even an explanation or from people i have never even MET. Putting all this aside, with all the insults and everything thrown at me, i took everything with a smile and positive energy and i finally understood, that the community hasn't changed at all, which one day will lead us into a pit with no recovery whatsoever.

Anyways, should i start blasting how DTR has been avoiding sanctions for the last 4 years, with the tons of reports towards violations that would lead to permanent banns ?
Or how an "Retired" Ex DTR leader was cought doing Metagaming and powergaming, which was intentional, then staffs issued a warning to the player, then magically changed their minds to do a COMMUNITY warning for the second time ?
Or how few HC DTR members were actively trying to source out Sanction materials from YT videos of certain players, to get other CERTAIN players Perma-banned?
Or how after they get killed, immedietly switch to camera ships to "Observe" the battles, then proceed to PM certain players, that they are "Rude" or not being "Sportsman" enough?
It is quite bold of you, to speak in such ways considering the fact, that you're an active member of a faction that has been cought in numerous violations and has sanction immunity for the past few years.

- In my years in Discovery, i have only been helpful and fun, sharing whatever possesion i have, just to make sure there is an active PLAYER in the server, not just in a CERTAIN faction(Just like how DTR does with their indoctrination). I have been nothing more than good and positive mind player, without the intention on harming somone in any shape or form by balancing fights and joining the weaker sides almost all the time, yet again i am put on the blast, lol.

Absolutely not needed to bash DTR mate, you were also a dtr member, a shame to read that from you mate.
And you also know that dtr members got a warning or a short bann,
And not a permanently bann.
And why you are upset that a member is switching to a camera ship?
If dtr has the feeling that someone broke the rules or they get ganked, I would also record the fight.
If you are upset cuz someone is using a cameraship, you need to go and touch some grass and take a big pause from discovery.
