Description of the incident I got killed as a survivor on Big Red by a lurker after they pounced me, understandably, I was angry about dying on the map, and the lurker got PB buckshotted and died, where I proceeded to say "Nice going retard." I was told to stop because I was "being an asshole" I explained it was banter, and salting. Keep in mind this was ALL IN DEADCHAT, NOT IN A TICKET.
I then, went back to satirizing dead-chat the place to salt, by saying ridiculous phrases like "Remove lurkers and warriors"
"Add Anti-FF posters" "Remove xenos, they're ERP bait" "Fetish Content". I browsed around the xenos, following some of them, then I went to the queen and said "Hoping for a marine metarush to end the round so I can play again" "or maybe reinforcements". As I don't play xenos, partially because I retain a ban for my bad behavior a-while ago and the fact I hate the xeno play-style compared to the Marine/Human play-style.
Then I was dead-chat dead-say muted, without a ticket, without explanation of what rule I broke by saying that "I wanted to marines to win or lose fast" since meta-rushes either end up with marines completely dying, or they kill the hive relatively quickly.
I noticed that I was muted when I tried to speak in dead-chat that round about the Corporate Liaison taking ultrazine (the fucking briefcase literally says "Not for personal use.") and for good reason, as I understand what Ultrazine does in full now after an incident. Dangerous chemical, if you take it, it's impossible to recover. This report however is about the staff member, not this player.
I believe since no ticket was ever formed, nor was it investigated while a ticket was open regarding my player, that they jumped to the "punishment" conclusion, and I wasn't particularly informed what rule I broke, which could fall under rule 3, but without a proper investigation, to learn from my mistakes with explanation I was unable to. Also I don't think my comment about meta-rushes broke Rule 3, perhaps rule as intended, not rule as written however. But the conduct code was seemingly broken in my opinion.
EvidenceHow you would punish the accused Reprimand, possible re-training.
I just don't want other players to experience what I experienced.
