Hi all, I just want to clear a few things up then i leave this thread to the flames that will inevitably consume it. I fully support any server operator who decides to ban either an individual or group of individuals, after all they pay for the servers!
What i wanted to discuss was the BL and the politics it seems to have these days, when i started hosting servers i looked for an official BL, i found a thread and a link to the NZ list. Needless to say like many I used the preprepared list provided by NZ (many thanks NZ). These days its the TyD BL that is the one most use and theres no issue there as long as that is what they want. I think though there are a significant number who use it because its easy and there without too much regard for what it contains! I myself ran the TyD BL for quite a while unmodified it was a great resource and i thank TyD for providing it.
Now what I see is that maybe some of the bans I do not nessesarily agree with so I look for another BL, why cant there be an AC BL I asked myself, something created by the players not the clans or the Devs, a BL where a second chance might be granted. But how could this happen, well a council could preside over it, with support it could be linked from the AC site, finally a solution! If you want to use the TyD list, use it, if you prefer NZ use that, but know this there could be another choice a BL manged by the players for the players, I as a server operator would run it and support anyone else who did the same...
imagine a world where servers used a BL without politics not linked to a clan or to the Devs, a BL for cheaters and racists not for one time TK'ers or people who called you stupid!
Now i ask you all, You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
