Welcome, Guest

Welcome to the BTPro OpenTTD Community

This community was build around the game: OpenTTD
OpenTTD is an (Free) open source simulation game based upon Transport Tycoon Deluxe

!!! Please note that a few servers have been shut-down !!!
Most of the times these servers were doing nothing (no players),
that's why I've decided to slim down the number of OpenTTD servers running.

I have made a selection to keep the most popular servers online.
If you miss a OpenTTD server that you REALLY played a lot, please do post
in the forums. I will then check if I can get it back online!

I'm trying to work from now on with only 1 physical server to
run all OpenTTD instances!

The following servers have been shut down recently:

1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 & 18

We are badly looking for moderators!

Want to be part of the team?! Want to help?! Read below...

NOTE:
Admins will act on the basis that ALL players know the game and it's mechanics.
We think that no one goes to an online game without first some practice and know how to play it.
Companies without registered nicknames (as shown in Client List) on it, can be reset without warning!
To learn OpenTTD mechanics, there is a forum/wiki and... a Single Player mode!!
Practice before playing on BTPro, and if you decide to start, READ THE RULES first.

If you wish to become part of the BTPro Server Operator family, ensuring that the rules are upheld with fairly and justly,
the willingness to teach new players on how to play the game and to make sure BTPro is one of the most relaxed,
entertaining servers out there for OpenTTD then apply in the Moderator Applications section below!

Also do not hesitate to ask us a question in the forums or when you see us online on one of the servers!

Happy Gaming!

banned for 2 weeks for blocking, no warning 8 years 3 weeks ago #5240

Banned by ST2 for 14 days without even given a warning, no instruction to remove my blocking tile. I was actually in the process of removing my blocking when I was kicked and banned.

I feel this is unduly harsh considering it's my 'first offence'. Wouldn't something like 24 hours be more appropriate?

EDIT: Seeing as there were only two players in the game, including myself, and it was in it's later stages, ST2 basically 'ruined' the game for the other player, in my opinion.

Pleb, first we need some more info: like said here

second, focus on give correct and true answers to this questions, specially the second one:

Reason why you are banned:
Explain why you should be unbanned:

the fact that you did it knowing was wrong shows malicy. hide/remove the evidences when an admin enters ingame is NOT enough. Your behavior shouldn't happen from the start.

That said, I don't consider you recognize enough your mistake leaving me with no reasons to remove the ban... for now. As said, focus on "Explain why you should be unbanned".

How am I supposed to answer that question? All I can say was that it was my first and only offence, you decided that you 'recognised my nick' when you clearly didn't and punished me severely, when something like a 24 hour ban would have had the same effect.

I'm not debating what I did was right, not in the slightest.

What I am debating is that:

A 2 week ban seems incredibly severe for a first offence and was completely without warning. You can see that I am a seasoned player with a history of playing by the rules.

something like: - I will read (again if necessary) BTPro server rules and respect them, fully. - Similar behaviors won't happen again, apologies to the harmed player, etc etc. That would be enough. As I said, I don't see regret in your words for your actions taken, sadly	ST2 Offline Administrator Posts: 1222 Thank you received: 628

If I knew that I would have been insta-banned for 2 weeks without a warning, then I wouldn't have done it in the first place.

As I pointed out earlier, I've been playing this game for a while so I'm a little shocked that the ban was so severe. It should be evident to you that this isn't something I am going to do again.

Because we have had an argument in the past (about me destroying my own trucks out of boredom) I feel you were unnecessarily harsh in this instance. I'm not disputing that I deserve a ban, I'm just questioning whether the ban length is appropriate.

I would prefer to hear from another admin regarding this, one with a fresh pair of eyes and one that isn't prejudiced toward me.

your arguments are based on a harsh punishment and not on regreting what you did. some apologies own too to the player that was harmed. By my side, until you present better reasons to the ban be lifted, I'll keep it. And I invite other admins opinions too ^^	ST2 Offline Administrator Posts: 1222 Thank you received: 628
