I'm writing this just to give my own thoughts on everything that is happening,the cause of it and perhaps to offer a few solutions too.
Firstly I'll make my argument as to why I think a single person is pretty much to blame for all of this and why I think that the admins haven't acted very well either.
Let's see where all this madness with the bans started from.I believe that it started at the moment when Kenneth banned me,teddi and banny.What happened:I was in the same team with banny.Loko couldn't show up for some reason,he only said "emergency" in discord and didn't show up for the pug.The enemy team got berserk as a substitute and everything seemed fine.However banny decided that he can't play if berserk subs loko because it makes it too "stacked" .I clearly remember having 9 people waiting clicked in while banny was in spec like a basic bitch choosing not to play.Idk about you but when I win against a stacked team the satisfaction that I get is even bigger,clearly not for banny who doesn't play unless he gets cella,dangerboy or blaze in his team.I kept asking kenneth to ban banny because of doing such a stupid move(That pug died because of him in the end).After complaining for some time he decided to block banny from pugs for 1 or 2 days but he couldn't stop there and decided to ban me and tedi aswell for "aliasing".The aliasing rule hadn't been enforced for months until that moment.You banned us just because we had a valid complaint against your buttbuddy :bjerk.Whatever, we took the ban and from that point the aliasing rule was enforced every game.
Fast forward a few weeks and somehow banny gets mod position on instagib servers and siegepugs aswell.How does that even happen ? Not to mention a few weeks before that he also chose not to play a face pug because the enemy team consisted of me,cella and dangerboy while his team had teddy and a few others.For that game we actually found a sub but it just shows you his character.Unless teams are stacked in his favour he'd rather not play and kill the fun for the rest 9 players.

I don't know why you offered someone like this a moderator position but in the end I decided not to bash him too much and see if he will be a decent mod.
1st retarded ban from banny: Teddy and him are playing a bathrooms pug, teddy is using the nick [B][M]:ted1:.At this point the aliasing rule is being enforced.Banny decides to ban teddy after pug for using the name from above.Tell me lord banny how is that an unrecognisable name ? Don't you recognise ted1 being teddy ? How does that even affect the game at all ? Do you even know what a fkin alias is ? It means a completely different name. I think to this date that is one of the dumbest bans i've seen in any gaming community.
2nd retarded ban from banny(i'm sure there were more but these are the ones that come to mind in this moment) + fleece : Me,banny,fleece,kenneth and moskva were playing julius 5v5.At that point I didn't know what I was disliking more.Julius winning the mapvote or the fact that I had to play with fleece,banny and kenneth in the same team.I decided to go nomic but I still tried my best to win the game hence I had bannys and fleeces frags combined.You tried to make it out that I was somehow laming the whole game when I clearly wasn't.

Pug ends and I get muted on discord.I was actually trying to figure out why I had been banned from joining the pug but both of these great mods were too smug to answer with a valid reason until people started spamming the channel.Fleeces reason in the end was the fact that I didn't use my mic during the game and didn't give any "comms".Great reason.Let me ask you, how many other players do the same thing,I think I know at least 10 ? How many other players did you ban for the same thing ? I'll tell you,0. Do you really think I was the reason you lost the game ? You picked a stupid map that was very hard to defend on and when you lost you got salty and didn't have anyone to blame but me,right ? Ban was so great that you or someone else removed it after a few hours :bjerk:bjerk
3d retarded ban from banny:Banny is picked as captain for red team while Skarn is captain on blue.Skarn asks banny to reset because he didn't want to captain + captains were unfair since banny was getting the firstpick aswell.What does banny decide to do ? Ban skarn for refusing to pick.Sure it says in the rules the following:"When you pug up, you accept that you may be made to be a captain and pick a team, if it is required to balance a team." But whenever players asked for a reset, moderators did it without problems.Oh wait I have the best example :bjerk

(Few weeks before-Banny being reasonable and reseting the pug when skarn asked him too).Wow,you couldn't do this again right ? You couldn't reset and wait 30 seconds for other captains ? You and fleece had to make up some stupid reason to ban him.Great moderating dude,I don't see how it affects the game in any way if someone doesn't want to captain and how that constitutes a valid reason for ban but then again, you have 0 critical skills so what do I expect.It's funny that you were acting smug again and actually told me to look for times when you reseted pugs when players asked you to.I think the example above says enough but if you want I can give you 10 more screenshots of you doing the exact same thing. J1J1
I'd also like to point out that my dislike for fleece came when she banned me for 2 days for being late 1 minute(I'm not exagerrating) for the pug even if that never happened before.Luckily Blaze talked some sense into her that time and removed the ban but it shows you how great of a moderator she is aswell.
As far as all the bans made by Sam are concerned, I'll just say this. All of those had as reason people trolling,spamming or doing stupid shit like voting maps in server so they become red.But you never looked past that.You never understood that all those actions came as reactions to either fleece or banny handing out bans like complete morons.If Skarn or Skaarj would just do stupid shit like that without any reason I'd ban them too :bjerk .But everytime they did that it had a reason.Just how you say it dude,if the US bombs some country or starts a war witn no reason won't you expect some terrorist attacks ? The fact that you were muting instead of simply banning on server for a few matches or blocking from siegebot didn't help either....
As for banny or anyone else,I don't think you wanted to kill your own community or meant for any of this to happen.If you want to stop it just close the pug server and it's done.But some people just don't act good with too much power in their hands.I didn't have any problem with you until you became a mod and started being a complete dumbfuck.Just step down from that position,everyone liked you better as a player,I'm sure of that.
Lastly I don't know why you kicked me from your discord server,I actually don't support the idea of a "new" community because of several reasons:
1.Same game different channel
2.At this moment the FWB server is complete unplayable garbage
3.Dividing the community like this just means less players joining pugs or less players in UT overall
4.Regardless of how bad I think some situations were handled,UK has been providing servers,teamspeak,discord and other resources for years.Turning your back and just making your own channel and little community is just backstabbing and really low.If they continue like this maybe it's deserved but as for now,it's completely useless
5.MY suggestion for Sam and Blaze is: Reconsider your staff members and check the bans they put in place from time to time and don't just believe them blindly,know that in the end the players constitute the community and not only you and the moderators,be more understanding:obey:,put the discord invite back on forum and the most important thing is give me mod :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
I think certain players including myself need to apologise for overreacting from time to time,acting cunty or trolling too much but it was always a reaction to something even dumber.So sorri
Also don't delete this pls and lets have a convo,I spent too much time writing this shit.And banny I actually want to see you disproving all of my points,btw saying I'm racist isn't a valid argument J1J1.Looking back at everything you did, you deserved much more :wallbash:wallbash:wallbash
I'll try to erase everything that happened from my head and hopefully we can all have a fresh start (pls delete other siege channel its lame,teddy as admin is :bj::wallbash:wallbash:wallbash:wallbash)
