His/Her Steam/In-game Name: Dan

His/Her SteamID: - Not necessary as this is something that took place on the forums.

Why Should This Player Be Punished: Dan has been offending me lately, targetting me in situations where he's been trying to trigger me into killing myself and also violate the rules, his behaviour is firstly very childish and something that isn't necessary to have in our community, proven several times by looking at this picture

Looking at this picture which is a quote from him that he put on my thread where I announced to the community that I was demoted, it's clear to see from what he's written that he's trying to firstly trigger me by saying that I'm a spoiled kid and then bringing up situations that I've had with [STG]NissanMikli
which has nothing to do with my recent demotion, obviously he's correct that the situation got me demoted from Admin which is completely fine, but the fact that he brings up older situations quite clearly trying to cause problems on the forums which is a direct violation of rule 1.4 on the forums

The user is directly slandering me saying that apparently I'm a sarcastic person during serious situations, which is incorrect, which we can see in later replies made by me in threads here;

I disagree with your statements in this thread completely, the reason for this is simply because of the fact that, there is not much of it that is correct to the history regarding of how strict rules have been in the past to how they are now.

So firstly I'd like to break down the history of how rules were before, if you were one of the players that played back in EvoCity you'd know that the rules were not as strict in one way but they were very different, they were slightly more open as in where players could use the rules and essentially bend it where they could do whatever they'd enjoy doing, but that also let people to buy the whole of subs and simply just say doesn't really work out, aswell as there being a lot of trolling going on, if you think some of the trolls we have today are anything close to what we had then, you're completely wrong.

During the times of 2015 the server was packed with people, literally you had to queue for a slot in the middle of the day which obviously was amazing, but it also brought some hard times for the server, we had very strict rules that were supposed to be obeyed from point a to point b, simple as that, there was no chat about how the rule worked or how you could bend it, the rule was the rule you were supposed to follow, and I think one of the reasons that worked so well with the community back then was simply because of the fact that everyone were on equal terms regarding on how it all worked, but there's obviously a catch to this, even if you sometimes broke a rule you got left with it because of the fact that we either didn't see it that serious where a ban or a warning would be necessary, there were other situations where people violated the rules in a much more serious way, or simply we just felt that a verbal warning would be enough. Now this is something that @nickjedl already brought up in the thread, he was someone who was effected by this quite heavily as of the facts that he was simply punished for small stuff when he was here back then.

Now GMod as a game in general has kind of lost some of it's players and there are a lot of people who have left the server for good or will come back, the point is; we've lost a bit of players and the server isn't as populated as it was back then, this means that we decided to do a mass unban because we knew that firstly, there were people who wanted to play on the server who we believed could come back as they actually sat through their bans for that long, when these players were unbanned we in the staff team came to the agreement to be quite lenient with our punishments as we knew firstly that there were gonna be a lot of players who just came back to the server and obviously have to shape up with the rules that they've missed out on the last couple of months or even years, we also decided to be lenient on bans because of the player population.

We are still in the state of being lenient, we are still trying to be very careful with our punishments and yes sometimes we can hand out punishments that are quite long for what actually happened, usually we note that within the staff team and contact each other regarding it and have a discussion about it, take @Dom and @Cole as an example the other day, Dom essentially explained to Cole that the guy had been quite good with following the rules the last year or whatever (the time is not the point) and Cole decided to decrease the ban, which quite obviously is a working system in my eyes. We work as a team.

I think that the reason why you see it as us not being so lenient on bans is simply because of the fact that you've been affected by it, you've been affected by someone ruining your fun, and I know how annoying that can be but it's simply how it is when you realise that your fun is over, you get frustrated because you want it back.


Also I don't think that you should go ahead on a thread and say "I don't want to cause a fuckfest with this thread" or whatever when you're literally stirring shit against the staff team, it's quite obviously in my eyes what you're trying to do, and that "we'll talk to them about it" isn't just "we'll talk to them" it's them being brought in a channel, getting spoken to about their actions, getting essentially put in an uncomfortable situation, because there's really no one who wants to be on the end of that, no one (yes it's worse than an admin sit lol)

I think that one of the things that I feel about perp is simply the fact that people never wish to resolve stuff between themselves anymore like we used to in 2014-2016 were we seriously just could sit for hours on rooftops discussing situations because no one wanted each other banned, now I feel as if the server gained toxicity because of one certain user, if that user reads this they will probably understand it's them I mean lol, after that user joined the server and got into it completely they were quite toxic in general and got the server to be that way.



No, this doesn't work simply because situations aren't the same at all, we've been through this so many times in administrative meetings and staff meetings that we should have something like this but we always came to the conclusion that it doesn't work simply because of the fact that no situation is the same, thus punishments can't be the same.

So the user has obviously violated rule 1.3 on the forums

After all of this I went on the users profile to make up for his thoughts regarding me by wishing him good luck in his life and future jobs, I brought up Tesco being one of the jobs that he can get because I simply don't know a lot of employers in the UK as I'm not a resident in that country, now I also made a joke saying that if he needed any cash he could just ask me to buy his family as it's my status on the forums, not being rude just being nice.

He then comes with a disrespectful comment to this telling me to kill myself.

This is disgusting behaviour and not acceptable on our forums.

Dan isn't capable of staying within the rules on our servers nor on the forums as he's quite clearly an aggressive person who's never been able to hold himself within rules and never will, which he has been able to prove this year atleast twice judging by these pictures

This is in my opinion judging by his ban record enough to get rid of him not only from the forums but also from the server as he quite clearly doesn't belong in here.

I hope Dan will some day understand that he cannot act this way because he will get in trouble for it, but it seems like he hasn't after all these bans and warnings that he's recieved.

Also just to add even though this isn't something that we can punish him for as it's outside of the community, but this picture should reflect how much of a child this user is, going after players in the community writing on their profiles mocking them for demotions

I mean you decided to write something on my forum account, and plus you're generally toxic to people, so I have no regrets for what I did. If you actually get offended when people don't deal with your bullshit, don't put this.

hey dan. i'm sure life will work out for you, hope you suit yourself in your tesco working clothes or wherever your education leads you!

if you want me to buy your family for some cash just ask me! =)

I also like how you bring up two warnings from late september, after which I've been dealt no punishments whatsoever, so trying to bring them up shows how petty you really are Daymon. Plus, you fail to realise the record from Ryan the russian dog and my old account was when I was much younger.

If you're gonna go to these sort of lengths to try and get me banned, I really do pity you.

Please note Dan that I have included this post that I made on your profile stating why I made it and what I meant by it, thanks for clearing things up, you've just admitted to saying that you want me to kill myself.

What goes around comes around, except with me it's in a lot more force.
