Reporting an abuse is a serious matter. Do you hold all the proofs requested for an abuse request? No

Paw gagged me for typing rtv into the chat on zm legends please note that i am still gagged , according to him i was spamming rtv in the chat , i did not insult anyone i did not post any vulgar material in chat , what i was doing does not meet my definition of spam. Others were typing rtv as well i was not telling people to rtv i simply typed rtv in chat and Boom i was gagged , i am not someone who breaks rules on your servers hence 0 bans but i feel that the course of action he took was unescessary , hopefully i can get a response i do not have a demo or proof my only proof is my gag which im still gagged

Regards kaz

I issued multiple warnings telling people not to spam/flood the chat begging for votes (Or some simillar warning. I don't have access to logs so I don't know exactly what my warnings said as "admin chat" does not get saved in hlstats.) yet you kept provoking.
"i was not telling people to rtv": at 23:56:11 you typed in chat "all rtv." and at 23:34:27 "just rtv." (which can easily be interpreted as begging for votes) while you also kept flooding the chat with "rtv." during both zm_legends and zm_eh_tr_abandoned_panic_v2_fix.

The reason I didn't issue any more gags was mostly due to the other players stopping with their spam or that they hadn't been warned enough as most of the people only did it once and stopped as soon as they got their final warnings (Before I can issue a gag I have to issue multiple warnings to ensure that the player is aware of what he/she is doing as a gag/ban is supposed to be a last resort.).

We've had a similar situation to this before which ended up with the player not getting ungagged (However he did get a decreased gag length, but that was due to how old his earlier gags were):
"What you were doing was borderline spamming, cause you kept sending the same message begging for rtv's but you waited a few minutes in between to skirt the rule about spamming, which you admitted to yourself. You were asked to stop by an admin but kept sending the same message every few minutes anyways."

Canadia eh?
Just to close off this thread, I spoke with paw and he understands that what you were doing wasn't really spamming, at least not in the way we tend to look at it. With that being said I don't think he abused his powers cause you could have stopped when he asked, but I believe he understands now that he didn't really need to be asking you to stop in the first place. Since he did you should have, but in the future, I think paw will look at spam in a much different light which will hopefully be beneficial to all parties involved. I've removed the ban from your record since it shouldn't be counted towards any further punishments you may or may not receive.

Have a good day,
