I accedently flooded a game with "START FFS!", and didn't know I would get banned for it...
I know flooding is stupid but I just had to do it that time, donno why...

Will never even think about doin that again haha
Well, err.. How long is the ban?

Outch...
So either an admin needs to have a really great day including that he just got laid and unban me in his happy spree or I got to wait for my dynamic IP to change?

You'll probably be unbanned, but don't do it again or you won't be.

I'll grab your IP and unban you right away. The flood protection is more to protect our server then it is to punish people who didn't realize that flooding could do damage. Now you know, don't get caught again please.

No, we have no tempban features in lobby, and if someone is going to be flooding and isn't willing to ask to be unbanned then we don't want them back, because 99% chance it was either a spambot or malicous.

The thing is that its really off-putting to new people if they get banned.. They wont come back. And we want as many new players as possible right?

Yes but we're not just plucking them out at random.

We have standards. Besides, we can't add more brutal people to the community.

Imo, we cant be picky about who we "let in" on Spring..

No, you are correct.
(Besides, if we let in more evil, somebody might stand up to Min3Mat!)

The ammount of spam you have to stream to be autobanned is absolutly obnoxious. If they get banned for flooding they will have no question about why it happened, and there's no reason they wouldn't come here and ask about it. We want people to check in, not to assume that it's just a minor thing and to keep it to once every 15 minutes. It's acceptable to get caught once, maby twice, but it's not the kind of thing that we're willing to risk letting people do all the time when they should know better.

You really are angry at Optimus? He is being rather thick, and it really has turned me off his mod.
Besides, I was kidding. I still think you should have an Anti-Air weapon.
