ban appeal

I see where Super is coming from. As a server admin we have to keep it simple, thrust me, ive seen ppl do the most idiotic things.

Like driving apc solo half across the map - response i often get, "im not soloing, im picking up my gunner" so here they are using linear time to explain they are not breaking the rules, kinda like - I tk someone then switch sides, hence I didnt break any rules, because my intention later in time was to switch sides and since im now on a different side the guy i tked, is no longer my friend but my enemy, see quite logical, well at least for some.

if we junked it we would then have to start policing the website names, google everyone etc to make sure its not violating other stuff etc.

Actually you would not. No player is compelled to visit a website, just because they saw it used as a player name in a computer game. In fact, you would be no more responsible for them visiting that site than you are for policing any other site they visit (i.e. not at all).

I just think, unless there is a really good reason to ban something, then it should not be banned. So far good reasons are a bit thin on the ground in this case, honestly, wouldn't you say?

and it says visit samharris.org left out the visit part bud.

No it does not. I took out the visit part a week or so ago. ...And even if I had not, still I'm not like some sort of Derren Brown figure who can make people visit sites, just by using the word "visit".

Dog, you cant decide what another player might be compelled to do, also its not about that, its about the general principle,

This url, tinyurl.com/pgn9mrb does not look like an advertisement at all does it?

We cant bend the rules, if we do, we will open the flood gates, just like the no soloing, how far is it to solo to pick up a gunner? 30 meters, 1 grid, 2 grids, inside dod, inside dod to the repair facility? If I ask 30 players i get 30 answers.

So, KISS, keep it simple stupid, DO NOT SOLO
