Wo0t... I, and the admins I'm in contact with regularly, do make a very reasonable attempt to asses situations. Some clearly think we're too zealous. Others, or in other incidents where 'favourtism' is perceived, think we're neglectful.
Mike is free to correct me, but I've likely had 4 or more /m conversations with him about the use of +salute. 2 of those, the last of which on the day he was banned, were very adamant discussions of how not to abuse it.
When I get a /m note about something I do attempt to address the situation. If I'm busy elsewhere, as often I am, I can't look at something right away. I have spent a lot of time spec'ing people trying to actually see them doing what I've been given /m warning about to no avail. I'm not saying the person wasn't doing what I was told they were doing, I'm saying that *I* couldn't catch them doing it.
Though I won't go into details, you have my word that I am non partisan. Siren may wish to add something at this point.
Naturally, if I see an excellant player who has never been a problem suddenly go crazy I'm far more inclined to find out what the heck is going on. Frankly, it's a community and despite what some few here think, I do care for people a lot. I've had a lot of long /m conversations with people at the server which are quite personal.
Wouldn't it be nice if we all played in a reasonable and fair manner? Beach Utopia.
Alas, thankfully, no person is created the same. Thus why we have things like traffic laws which forbid driving down side-walks and through buildings and other seemingly very obvious things.

What do you mean by this? Im a calm person. I have my good and bad days just like everyone else. It takes alot for me to get in a bad mood. When i do get into those occasional moods i do admit i have a slight anger management control problem, and find it hard to control my mouth.

I hear ya, mang. It seems most of these "rules" are a direct result of someone not liking me or my particular brand of game all those years back. Nice to know I permeate the minds of the weak to such an extent.
Please, on your way out, leave your fun at the door, gents.

You know that sounds cool.

Was that you? I always liked it when I'd be moving and running around and then WHAM I'd be spinning and flying around as if I was on a string!
I would stop and be all dizzy and shit.
It was hilarious.
or was it the Guiness?

I was just making the point that this admin abuse issue is not a new one, you were always fair to me Zog and I respect that, but even in your day there were problems.

Actaully if I recall.... back, WAY back in the day BocGood would come in and have a little fun with us like that. Of course Boc had the ability to fling and throw without a soul being able to see it, but we could figure it out....
Sure would love Boc to come back to the server and regulate!
