I got falsely reported by a clique (video proof of gameplay included)

So I got banned this evening and no one has told me why. I have contacted one of your admins on the discord and they said they will handle it after their round ends but they keep ignoring me. Bluffer, the admin, said he would handle my situation after his round ended but after it ended he just kept ignoring me.

Long story short from my perspective: I joined a Muttrah round on mec and asked on the chat for the apc squad to open up. After they ignored me I reported them for locking the squad at too few people. After joining the squad and some disagreements and false accusations I got falsely reported for racism against UAE people. This was a false report, as you can see from my videos. I can elaborate more on the topics and concepts we discussed in game but the video evidence speaks for itself.  Videos are in multiple parts because I didn't think I would have to show them on a forum.

Quick synopsis of events:
Video 1
i asked apc squad to open, reported them because they didnt respond to team chat
nybble was mad because i reported them instead of asking them, said they couldnt see team chat
guy said he thought we have only enough apcs for 4 people
SL says that we have only 5 apcs even though they are using 2 (???)
SL tells me to calm the fuck down because this is a "war" because i challenged him, makes a sarcastic comment about going to the HR (server admins) because he thinks im being "bullied"
i told him i asked for him on team chat and he didnt respond
responds by telling me to calm the fuck down, claims they lost their apcs and truck because of me typing in chat
Video 2
says i lost the game for the mec, says i could report as i like
Video 3
false report of racism towards UAE
Video 4
howizzle say im being unsportmanshiplike, i point out i wasn't in the squad and had to report because they weren't following the rules
emptily just says im being annoying because i follow the rules
Video 5
howizzle deflects to not being the squad leader i point out to his argument not making any sense then
howizzle accuses me of being a bully because i pointed out they should unlock the squad

Discussion with admin Bluffer after the incident:

He lied about engaging with me after the round ended.

I hope we can solve this misunderstanding. I don't deserve a ban just because I followed the server rules. These guys actually deserve a ban.

So your now accusing me of being a lier.....I do have my own life to live and yea maybe sometimes EAT! and you expect me to now try and help you.


Watched the videos, from what I see you have no idea when to shut up and play the game, and in all fairness I would have kicked you from the squad way before you actually got kicked.
You actually started with all the reports on people and you expect them not to retaliate.
You see to be a very toxic player who likes the attention created by such actions.

Go fight your own battles now because I aint helping you.

Eating is of course fine but you should have told me it would take longer for you to respond. To me it seems you realized you made a mistake and hoped it would go away by ignoring me.

I was playing the game. Did you miss that clique of brits being total assholes to me and not understanding server norms? Did you not notice how they take turns verbally attacking me for no reason? Am I not allowed to respond to them?

Are you saying I'm toxic and an attention seeker for reporting people who break server rules? Also do you actually think its okay to retaliate against a person who reports you for legitimate reasons?

Translation: "You dared take this to the forums and made me look bad?! There was less than 1% chance of me actually doing anything in the first place but now I DEFINITELY WON'T HELP YOU!"

To reiterate, I think that clique of brits deserve a ban. In addition I also think bluffer deserves punishment for being a badmin. His angry reply shows that.

He lied about engaging with me after the round ended.

Hence calling me a lier.

I do not report to you, nor have the need to report to, and to be honest what I do in my time has nothing to do with you.

They are Anzacs, not Brits. Try to no be so narrow minded in future. What I did notice is the amount of times they told you to shut up and play the game.
He also gave you his reasons not to have you in the squad, you dont follow orders, and to be frank its completely upto the squad leader who he wants in his squad.

No one has broken a server rule, Nybble said himself he was busy in a fight, if anything your breaking server rules with your toxicity.

So up your own arse, I went out my way to listen to you, most admins would have told you to go to the forums rather than entertained you on discord.
Such arrogance from yourself bewilders me upto the point where im no longer going to post in this thread due to the fact your so toxic, do we really need someone on the server like you?

Thats what this is now making me think, infact if I get one more report of you trolling,being toxic, ill ban you myself..

Now go and play the game, be nice,follow orders from squad leaders and you wont have a problem.

Yeah, you didn't engage with me like you said you would. You were implying I called you a liar for no reason but the evidence says this is not the case.

You're providing a service to the players in exchange for admin privileges, its customer service. It's polite to notify any party of delays that might happen. Why say you're going to deal with the issue and then you actually don't? What changed your mind?

I guess my bad for not being able to distinguish a british accent from an australian/new zealander one? Calling someone narrow minded for not being an expert on foreign accents is stupid. As a finn, english is my second language. This is an ad-hom attack and an attempt at a pivot. I'm sure you can't tell apart different finnish accents or accents of languages other than english.

I was playing the game and they kept attacking me for no reason even though I was going to let it be.

I was following orders. I also don't care that he kicked me for any reason. I'm reporting them for placing false reports on me. According to you there were 6-7 reports placed on me.

Locking apc at 4 people on muttrah is against server rule 3.6. An admin that was present agreed, as you can see from the warning. Did you actually look at the evidence?

=MeRk= wrote:

Nybble said himself he was busy in a fight



 

And in the video I told him that's fine and he's not getting punished. Again, did you even watch the video?

Where was I being toxic? They were the toxic party. Am I not allowed to match the energy of someone who's an asshole?

I mean we're on the forums now. You "entertaining" me didn't help at all, only confused me.

Any neutral third party can see you're not responding to the arguments or even engaging in good faith. You're going to stop replying because you can't

I would characterize myself as someone who has good knowledge of the game and server rules, and as a person who upholds the rules and reports any rulebreakers. Imagine if these assholes had bullied a new player who doesn't have a good knowledge of procedures and a willingness to take this to the forums with evidence. They might quit the game because of a bad experience, and that's bad for the health of the game. It's good that we caught these guys early.

Are you threatening to ban me based on false reports again?

It's pretty clear to any observer what's happening here. Bluffer was going to deal with the issue on discord but something changed his mind. He hoped that it would go away if he just ignored me. Some HOG admins and a PR admin suggested I post this on the forums and I did so with video evidence and chat logs as proof. Bluffer didn't expect this and now he is lashing out at me because this incident makes him look bad. His strategy is to repeatedly call me toxic and a bad person so he can play the victim.

He says he watched the videos but he constantly mischaracterizes what happened in them. He even pretends like he doesn't know about rule 3.6, the apc asset rule, so he can say these guys didn't break any rules. He didn't address the false report you can see in the video. According to his own words, there were 6-7 reports placed on me of which 5-6 were sent after I left the server. Bluffer doesn't address this at all. He repeatedly calls me toxic without any merit because he wants to pretend he's the aggrieved party here. He tries to pivot the conversation into irrelevant points because he can't address the points I have brought up, backed by evidence. Bluffer also calls me narrow-minded for not being an expert on anglo accents, which is very childish. I could go on and elaborate more but this post is already long.

Based on this showing, if Bluffer isn't a badmin, I don't know what is. He could have replied to this thread with "My bad, we will give these guys a temp ban for false reports". Instead of admitting his mistake he decided to escalate the issue and play the victim.
