Hello, MorganKell and thanks for that concerning post.
Let me lay down a few rules we do have on OPEN:
1. Intentional team killing will not be tolerated (You may be kicked for excessive team killing)
2. Like a few other servers, we do not allow bad language, insults or promotion of drug use, dating/sex site advertisments. ie; "Guys you gotta smoke this go to: **************.com"
3. Unlike other servers, we DO allow camping.
4. We do not tolerate illegal discussions such as pirating movies, etc.
Please keep in mind that the OPEN server is OPEN to everyone at all ages. Kids play there.
Now onto the issue you decided to raise here at the forums:
I apologize that you and your friend were banned from the server. I was actually not aware of it as I can see nothing in my admin report log.
Please note that we do have a few new moderators, one of them in training is DM. He probably banned the client with the "meth" name because we had someone with a similar name about a month ago trying to get "kids" to go to websites that sell drugs, weapons, bombs, etc, and frankly... that is not what our server is for.
As far as using drug based names: We have allowed these sorts of names; however, they started to become an issue on our server because of the reasons stated above; plus, when someone sees a name like "ISmokePot", someone else will yell out "I know a good place you can buy some good pot!", and again, that is not what our server is for.
I understand that OPEN can be fairly strict right now, but please bare with us as we are taking our guests ideas and trying to use those ideas to make new rules that would give everyone an advantage.
Now in the future, if you have a problem, demand to one of our mods that you want to speak with me or Kenny (the owner), and I will assure you that neither of us will crap on you, unless you carry a terrible attitude that you did in your post.
Now the final bit: I honestly see no reason why drug-based names should be banned because it doesn't necessarily mean you are advertising drugs and after all, we do allow names like "yomomma".
I have decided that (and will inform Kenny about this), that you may feel free to use whatever names you want as long as they do not contain illegal URL's, illegal website titles, or insulting/offensive language such as the "f" word or "r" word, because after all, we are all mature here.
If you have anymore issues in the future, please feel free to PM me, or speak to me on AC.
Again, I apologize that you and your friend were temp-banned and since I have no record of it and the mod that banned you both failed to report it to me, I will make them rip up whatever they wrote down about you and meth, and you are both free to play on our servers again with your original names.
I hope this clears it all up and in the future: Don't bash us because it is quite childish. Let's be adult here and talk it out one on one. *cheers* :)
