Aggressive, fear-inducing administration.

[Overwatch]

Hi, I was on the server this morning ((01:00 - 03:30 GMT+0)) And I was having a fun time, Duran joined and I was still having a fun time, Then someone asked for a their set of $150 Donation flags. Here is a set of general logs.

He asks for his flags at (03:03) No response is made, And at (03:08) Duran makes it clear he wants to ban roleplayers, this made me feel scared somewhat that If I made a simple mistake on the server, I would of had a strike and a ban.

After waiting Eleven minutes since his first ignored request, Lent asks again at (03:14)

Duran then refuses to give him his $150 Flags straight away within the minute.

At (03:15) He again, without prompt, writes a message displaying that he as an apparent administrator does not have to carry out administrative duties, Although an oxymoron is present in this case, Had he given him his flags, This would of been over, eight minutes ago, with little hassle. Another player goes on to write up his opinion of the situation, I at this time, don't want to even go near OOC for fear of getting banned.

Lent then notified Duran that he meant no harm by it, He simply didn't receive a response the first time and was wondering if it was on his to-do list as he was changing a name at the time.

Duran then takes this as ammunition and kicks him for it, unjustly in my opinion, as he was simply stating he was slightly confused as to what Duran was doing.

Two more people air their opinions, One is kicked, One is banned with a strike against their name. And a third role-player leaves due to the unneeded situation Duran is causing.

At this point Lent rejoins, 21 Minutes later, And 3 less role-players, In a situation that didn't need to arise and could of been solved in two minutes. Lent states his frustration, and so do Two other people, Lent see's this situation's snowballing and pushes away any supporters trying to start a small riot, telling them It's not worth getting banned over, Duran then bans another player, Now down 4 role-players.
For some reason duran takes it upon himself to contest everyone on the server to file a complaint, stating that he doesn't have to give flags, and that he would rather spend half an hour of his time banning and kicking four players instead of giving someone their $150 Dollars that would take two minutes with all role-players intact. And also tells everyone that; although he Banned four people that took half an hour, that people shouldn't air their opinions about it, to hopefully let him see that he's picking the wrong path to peacefully resolve this situation easily.
At this point in time I feel as if I can barely move from the spot I'm standing on, and decide to leave the server to file this complaint.

I don't ask for anything to come from this mistake, I simply want to make my feelings heard about this situation in a respectful manner.

[Ragolution]

... shit.

[Otto]

Good work Duran, you've shown your true colors.

Maybe you just had a bad night, but it seems to me you were just going on a troll hunt to ban/kick people.

[Duranblackraven]

Oh god I had a good laugh. Hold on I'll post the ENTIRE logs on paste bin in a second.

I had stated, after getting spammed for them, that he could wait for another administrator. People got mouthy so I explained that 'All services will be met' does not mean by ME specificly. You idiots decided to keep trollololing away which made the situation worse for the rest of you, insulting an administrator and then insulting HGN as a whole, which resulted in kicks/bans(Two bans, one for an hour, the other 24. And iunno how many kicks).

After I finally got rid of you little munchkins causing shit, Lent and I had a rather civil conversation that was incapable of taking place because you lot wanted to throw names and insults at both an administrator and HGN as a whole. You're now angry you had to pay for your mistake.

In the end, Lent got his reasons and his flags after our civil(And to me light hearted) conversation that was incapable of taking place then and there because you bunch of idiots had to run your mouths instead of your brains.

Edit: SLOW AS FUCK FORUMS

Edit2: My give a shit engine puttered out. I can't remember who I was going to strike, and I don't feel up to digging around for it. Oh well.

Edit3: I'm about to start setting things more straight if you don't start first.


[LOOC] Adam Chronovich: Duran refuses to help anybody but himself atm.
^ What I kicked Lent for, actually, not what you have highlighted.

(o) [OOC] 'Raven': So he pays $100 for the server and you don't even give him an ounce of respect.  Good to know how you treat people, Duran.
^ There we go found the right strike 2

(o) [OOC] Iosif Fedoseev: And then this proves everyone who left HGN were correct.
^Cause for 24Hour ban.

[Lent23]

Alright guys, Duran was busy and had shit to do while I nagged him. Albeit he was kind of an ass, it doesn't need to be met with more assholiness. Sure you can post these, but nothing's going to happen. There's no intent of admin removal or ban or anything, but I'm sure Overpony wanted it noted what happened, as he wasn't in the problem itself. In the end, everything got solved, and some people got warnings, but I don't think it should affect anything in the future. Otto was only defending me because he's my friend and was offended because it seemed like you were refusing to let me have my flags I donated for. Both sides were at a wrong here, and this includes but isn't limited to myself, Duran, Otto, ppmug, and others. I don't think anybody needs Strikes or anything, and Otto shouldn't be penalized for this, neither should ppmug. I think we should just put this all behind us, anybody else?

I was about to anger myself with reading the pastebins, but then I saw Lents message.

The involved parties move that they put it behind themselves. . . so I am giving this a big ol' fat lock.

Also moving it to the dump for the sake of adverting bullshit.
