I didn't edit any handling files, or use CLEO.. :conf:

I was banned two months ago for getting inside a journey with an illegal mod.

[Pandalink]

Indeed, but no handling files were changed nor was CLEO used.

They are written down here.

yet they are not written out on anything.

Please tell me where you see these written down.

Don't abuse /su (commonsenselol)
Don't shoot stand-still suspects
Ask for surrender before opening fire
No capital letters in chat (commonsenselol)

Netiquette rule.

[Gandalf]

What he means is, there are shit tons (exaggeration) of rules that are admin-punishable of not followed, yet they are not written out on anything.

Examples:
Don't abuse /su (commonsenselol)
Don't shoot stand-still suspects
Ask for surrender before opening fire
No capital letters in chat (commonsenselol)

First of all anything can be lead back to the basic server rules.
1. Script abuse : if you use the scripts trying to gain advantage for yourself.
2. No attack without a (RP) reason.
3. Idem
4. Apart from capitals being a common internet thing, flaming and personal attacks are forbidden.

Whenever you wish to comment on written or non-written rules please first read the Rules page

How does an admin determine whether my message was CAPS ABUSE OR NOT?

Because I was writing something really long, and in the middle around 30% of my message was CAPS Locked, everything else is properly sized but I still got warned for abusing caps.

So like ''I was walking down the road and I was like HOLY CRAP A TURTLE'' is that allowed?

One or two words are acceptable. More than that, especially consecutively, will lead to a possible reaction from an admin.

Hi there. You new developer?

The entire opposite.
You do not have to know who I am. All you need to know is that what I am saying is correct as per administrative procedures on this community.
If I really wanted for people to know my identity, I would have already said by now.

Recently there was an issue with a hacker and no admin was able to come get in game as they have been either AFK or asleep. One member of the community decided to say, "Turn your hacks off, or else I ban you. I am UC Admin.". After a while, a real administrator came in game (Ben). I reported the user who was impersonating, but no action was taken against the user as he/she was an old member. The same situation happened a while back, but a new user said that and he got a punishment for it.

Is this fair? Shouldn't all rules apply to all members of the community?

[Altair_Carter]

The entire opposite.

Then don't answer, I'm asking developers here.

You do not have to know who I am.

That's not for you to decide.
