Which of the following are you reporting? 3. Enforcement Action Taken
Description of the incident I was a late join squad leader, I geared up with an engineering kit and two claymore mines because I was a bravo SL. Upon arriving at the FOB I did a quick inspection and introduced myself to the Squad. I saw that the Cadelines extended far beyond their usual self which is a tribute to the engineers. There were six cadelines to the north and three to the east. I went to comms and did an inspection, it was secure and the front was a little north. I announced to my squad that I would be cading the front because of the extra supplies I had and assisting in the efforts of securing the medics. I created a mini FOB a large rectangular base to protect the Medics as they healed the marines. I used all my supplies in which the Xenos did push with the queen. I stayed there and helped the around "ten" marines hold off the push while calling in Mortar and Cas strikes because I was the only Squad leader and marine with a laser designator at the front until Delta SL arrived. At that time, the Queen did another push in which I returned to the FOB after being wounded to seek treatment. Keep in mind, Bravo's primary objective was to assist the CO in the push against the Xenos by sending out a fireteam and the secondary mission was to secure the FOB. I am being accused of not following orders because I am not physically at the secure FOB which has most of Bravo inside of it and pushing out with my fireteam. The Fob is secure, the mortar manned, the flanks mined and caded, Comms was secure, and I assisted in keeping medics safe by creating a Mini-firebase and calling in mortars and cas and I am accused of this in the middle of the round against a strong xeno push. I would like for this warning to be removed from the record. Please, view the indepth logs of comms chatter and actions(like creating cades or mining) to prove even more that I was doing my job.
Evidence Chat logs:
You have been noted by Silencer_pl.
The note is : Warned for behavior below standard - As a late joining Bravo SL, deployed and immediately rushed to the front where they got killed numerous times, disregarding standing orders to mind the FOB. Tried to justify this as their squad being able to handle the FOB and their veterancy in the game, neither of which were particularly good excuses for blatantly refusing to lead their squad in terms of following the objectives set by command.

-Admin PM from-Silencer_pl: Why were you on the front in the first place? It seems like command wanted your squad to handle the FOB.

-PM to-Admins: My squad can handel the FOB. I was delivering supplies and making a forward base and cading. Is there a rule break issue I am accused of?
-Admin PM from-Silencer_pl: As Squad Leader, you are expected to follow orders from command and communicate with your squad, not run off to the frontline and die. Again, if you are ordered to hold the FOB then as SL you are expected to lead the defense unless you are sepcifically ordered to do something else.

-PM to-Admins: This isn't my first rodeo, Silencer.
-Admin PM from-Silencer_pl: I'm not sure how that is relevant.

-Admin PM from-Silencer_pl: Rule 2, Human Roleplay Standards, Deployment: Higher ranking squad marines (such as the squad-leader, specialist, smart-gunner and RTO) should be following the orders assigned to them by the commander instead of running off to go fight alone. Special circumstances exclude this requirement, but players should be prepared to justify their actions if contacted by staff.

-PM to-Admins: Did I not just do that.
-Admin PM from-Silencer_pl: No, you did not. Your squad bewing able to handle a task does not mean you can chose not to follow orders and get yourself killed, three times, on the front.
Click on the administrator's name to reply.
-Admin PM from-Silencer_pl: You have no way of knowing what the state of the FOB is if youre dying on the front. As a leader, youa re expected to be among your men, making sure theyh have what they need to accomplish their mission. You being dead meant that yo squad was effectively headless and uncoordinated. If you want to charge off to the front, then PFC is the role suited for that.

-PM to-Admins: Don't be a goober. There are fucking like six cade lines extending to the north and three on the west. I know what is going on at the FOB. I will take this to the forum because you are witchhunting.

Screen shots, which are late because I am creating this report right now as we speak Xenos pushed up and destroyed the cades and I am finally able to ghost and gather the screen shot evidence.

This shows the Northern Cade line as xenos are pushing the FOB, keep in mind there were three more Carelines pushed up and a Mini-Fob I created at the front. This is the six cade lines I was referring to showing that my secondary order is completed and still being completed(Secure the FOB).

This shows the Eastern FOB cade lines, three layers deep. And I mined it myself with two mine boxes, which is ten claymore mines. Do you understand that staff make the final decision in the resolution of this report? Yes
