very suprised with the ban (Ban Reduced by BoyPower)

[[TC]►BP◄]

Quote:I was quite annoyed having to talk to an immature user who was the cop who dealt with my query regarding the chase being a draw. I would accept my way of dealing with an immature person in an immature way was just doing the same as he did. I just think your ban of 365 days is excessive and this should be reconsidered. I do agree based on my comments in the game a ban would be fair, just for less then a year. Hopefully you can see where I am coming from.

He wasn't immature. The only immature person here was you. 365 may seem excessive to you, but I take disrespect, bullying, harassment and threats very seriously.

Quote:I don't agree with the way the cop handled the situation. He should be given a ban aswell.

No. That would certainly be unjustified. I didn't fine him as a punishment, but more to do with the fact I deemed the fine you were issued a little bit unfair given the circumstances. In my opinion, he should have refunded the fine because the outcome of the chase was ultimately determined by the user who towed the cop. (The initial incident was caused by the same user also). But all that is largely irrelevant now. You've got your money back already.

This is about you and how you broke the rules and stepped the line. What you did could easily be classed as bullying even though it may not seem like it - it's bullying because you were repeatedly insulting him in the hope that he refunds you. We mustn't forget about this too, which are perhaps the worst comments of all:

2014-01-30 19:54:28 UTC Montana eivind_enl Likvern• : Si©On - take care =)

2014-01-30 19:52:00 UTC Montana sicon Si©On : Likvern• - I hope someone in your family gets hurt

NOTE: For reference, eivind_enl is the cop's username.

The above can be seen as threatening comments - and this ultimately went along with all the other abusive/offensive remarks (not limited to the below):

Quote:2014-01-30 19:52:38 UTC Montana sicon Si©On : Likvern• - your a stupid person, tiny brain
2014-01-30 19:33:50 UTC Montana sicon Si©On : [COP] Likvern• - you can have it, you shit you prob need it more then me
2014-01-30 19:33:27 UTC Montana sicon Si©On : [COP] Likvern• - your just a retart [we all know what this means but, ironically, you spelled it wrong]

NOTE: For reference, "Removed" = the S word.

The comments you made were unacceptable and if you were making them to me I would not be at all happy or comfortable.

I can't make a decision right now whether I want to reduce your ban or not, but here are a list of things which I am considering:

• You've been in the community for longer than me - you've been around since 2007. I'm sure "Respect other players" has been a rule even from then.
• The fact he was not abusive to you yet you persisted with your abuse doesn't help your situation.
• Given the fact you completely ignored the abuse in your report (didn't own up or anything, which probably would have helped you) shows to me that you're not entirely honest.
• The only thing you're fixated on in this request is that a.) you were fined wrongly (resolved) and b.) he's immature (and deserves a ban too!) You do not actually seem sorry that you said all these things to him, but rather the length of your ban.
• One thing that does save you is that you don't seem to be much trouble in general, but that does not excuse any of the above.

I'll reconsider the ban length later tonight because I want to think about it.
