Offender's Name: Damien & Scoovie
Offender's SteamID: STEAM_0:0:221473561, STEAM_0:1:19824014
What Server(s): Dinkleberg TTT
Offender's Rank: Donor
What They Did: Broke your Rule 4 of "Mic spamming" in this case just trying to talk over me when i tried to resolve the situation, and rule 6 after gagging me by flaming me consistently for the next 30 minutes using voice.
TL;DR of What They Did : Abused power by gagging just because of a singular situation, dragged it on for a literal 30 minutes.
As far as it went they were right in telling us not to say a singular joke, one that i did repeat out loud like a tumblr user online does in italics while laughing because it was funny over the 2 parties involved : "Your 14 years old? Right in my ball park" which my friend literally got off a video about a month ago. But during the moment the joke was made both parties involved didn't care about the joke and were making good humor of it and having a good time. Damien originally told us not to make the joke but then when i read through the MOTD and didn't understand it they just continuously grew cocky about knowing what the rules were and started flaming us over the whole conversation. While my friends continued to bicker with them I was reading the MOTD trying to understand what the issue was since Damien told me to read the full 5 pages but the full 5 pages were just addendums that could be referred to in the main page but I didn't originally recognize "Minor Exploitation" as the situation because neither of the parties involved took it as a serious situation; it was just Damien and Scoovie just going "Dont make those jokes" and not explaining any further than just that or giving us any frame of reference and threatening to gag everyone the entire time like it was a flex of power instead of actually trying to avoid the problem.
Later on through this I still didn't understand so I tried explaining how I went through the rules and did exactly what he was suggesting of me. But they decided to continuously talk over me and out of everyone involved among my friends they gagged me while I was trying to explain my perspective and wonder where in the rules it said that we can't have dark humor. Then as I go to join the discord I was asked what happened to me and i typed in response that I was putting in a report because I wanted them to understand why I was going afk. To which Damien responded : Cry about it.
Further followed up with them laughing and talking about how the report won't go anywhere. While continually flaming me, I stopped typing until Scoovie going "I'll just tell them you made a pedo joke and it'll be done." When that wasn't at all the situation that was causing main problems, either way I didn't do any better being frustrated with a situation of power abusers that didnt want to listen, i just passive aggressively explained that they gagged me for talking about the motd and the general rules of the server. I already was trying to discuss the situation of the joke so we could move past that which we would have done had they not gagged me just because they didnt want to discuss the rules or explain them to new members of the community; They defended it as common sense even though again, both parties involved in the joke didn't care about the joke, so it was an endless cycle of just nobody getting anywhere.
The entire time I was creating this post and trying to figure out how to report them they just continuously kept flaming with phrases like "still waiting on that forum.", "here let me type it up", "I'm pretty sure i helped write the rules", or just generally laughing at one of their friend's flamebait comments as if to poke at me for even trying to resolve it in a decent way.
When They Did It: Some time between 2AM to 4AM CST on 9/6/2021
Potential Witnesses:
CreamDeal - STEAM_0:0:207400566
Chungladoor (The originally guy who made the joke) - STEAM_0:0:146388163
9reen_* - STEAM_0:1:59361603
Tboy - STEAM_0:1:50972826

Proof: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EkEbkWc...sp=sharing <- is a video of me showing at the very least their names in game and a few of the things that were said by myself and others in chat. As well as my general tangent in frustration explaining how the situation came off to me and what that says about the server's environment.

Other: I don't really expect anything to happen with this report because nothing tends to anywhere else in regards to donators, plus my half of the situation did break a specific rule. We only understood the actual situation after I had to pay specific attention to the MOTD because I was sent on a wild goose chase to read all 5 pages.
I mainly just want these guys to be taught how to properly handle situations where rules are broken so that people aren't scared away from servers because that's a good way to get yourself stuck with toxic players, experience from my own staffing days a few years ago.
I do apologize for my own group on this situation.
