Admins and Donors abusing their powers
#1
I'd just like to kick this off by saying that I know I am a handful. Admins and staff particularly don't like me because I'm very loud and mess around a lot. But I'd also like to follow up by saying that I try to follow the rules the best I can. I tend to mind my own business and don't start stuff. When I'm provoked or abused I make a fuss (Like I should, it doesn't happen enough anymore.). When an Admin kicks me or gags me for no reason, I will make a big deal about it. Whether or not there is a rule about arguing with staff is irrelevant. That rule enables staff to abuse and then punish the victim for responding appropriately. The main reason for my gagging and ban was due to the fact that I was allegedly making problems with the staff. The issue was that the Staff was harassing me. Instead of local muting me I was server wide muted. 

I've been playing TTT since 2012, so I've been through many different communities each with their nuances. I can spot a fault in the staff team from a mile away. I used to run my own TTT servers back in GMod's heyday, that meant managing and hiring enough staff to keep everybody happy. I know what to look for in staff, and what also to look out for. I also know that paying for any sort of administrative abilities is asking for abuse. When just anybody can throw around commands (regardless of guidelines and rules set in place) the server can turn to chaos. That's exactly what happened when I joined Dinkleberg TTT.

A select few of your donors harassed me and gagged me non stop. While I was talking about stuff irrelevant to gameplay, it was in dead chat. Dead chat's purpose is to keep everybody entertained and enable people to converse with each other while the Traitors fight it out with the Innocents. That's exactly what I was using it for. I wasn't spamming music or random noises into my microphone. I was talking to people and they were talking back to me. When your donors and moderators gag me because "I don't like what you're talking about" you know you have a problem. If that's the rule set in place what's stopping me and a few friends getting donor and gagging everybody because we don't like what they're talking about? 

I know what your moderators and donors are going to be saying to you. I'm a troublemaker and a troll. Everybody wanted me out of the server and/or muted and gagged so they could hear me. None of those statements were true at all. Although a select few weren't happy with me I still had a few people on my side. The only problem was that they didn't donate or apply for staff (That also means that whatever they have to say is invalid, based on your staff). I'm not as bad as some people make me out to be. My personality is very "In your face" and I love messing around and saying stupid shit (Who doesn't?). The whole point of TTT is to have fun and mess around. But because I wasn't a regular or friends of the staff it wasn't allowed.

That's all I have to say.

EDIT: As someone pointed out my steam account has only been active since 2013 and I said I've played TTT since 2012. That's due to the fact this isn't my first account.
