Nomination for a new Mod

[Colonel Z.e.r.o.]

Tenacity one thing that people need to learn about the rules, is that they are not in place to allow people to sanction other people. The rules are meant as guidelines towards good gameplay, as well as protection against people refusing to follow the example of such good, established gameplay that the rest of the server is already used to. The sanction system is merely a vessel for educating people who openly disrupt server gameplay, certainly not one for personal wrath and "roflpwn", nor one that is meant to oblige a person to report every single rule violation he finds. In principle it was meant to be used in only the most dire situation, where the person involved is obviously not going to change his ways without admin intervention. Should more people finally realise that, I imagine the amount of sanctions posted daily would reduce tenfold.

Now how this has meaning to your post: cool heads would be preferred in order to objectively decide when a sanction is made out of genuine concern over server gameplay, or simply out of spite. We already had a hothead once (BULLDOGNK), and look where that got us? Rampant admin power abuse and favouritism. It was a sufficient lesson I would say.

People educate themselves, not the sanctions. They're merely a deterrent in order to keep others from getting used to actions that disrupt the server's flow, intil, some of them (hopefully) consider finding an outlet (form of RP) for them to exist on this server with mutual contribution to all others involved

When I first got here I was a big lolwutter running around with liberty cruisers, Rhienland cruisers, Battlecruisers (guess which one) then I got some sanctions shoved in my ass. Implementing my survival instincts onto the server and forum, I realized I wasn't gonna change the game, nor will I be able to do as I pleased, even in a desolate corner. When this hit me I considered joining in with the RP thing and adapt so I can still get a taste of what I was looking for, without 14-day intervals.

Basically, sanctions are meant to be a deterrent until players realize the way to survive here without causing disruption and worse, bannage. And as blodo said they're meant to be a last resort to halt the offense, and in return, allowing others to realize the bennifits of constructive gameplay, and that should be the only reason sanctions exist.
