Edit Reason: Added possible offenses.

Offender's Name: Jerald
Offender's SteamID: STEAM_0:1:43755279
Offender's Rank: Trial Mod
What They Did: I was possessing an explosive barrel and Jerald said over chat: "You depossess that barrel right now or I'm kicking you." He then gave a five second countdown, and in this period I depossessed the barrel as he asked. Then he proceeded to kick me anyway and when I questioned why he did so after returning, he denied that I ever depossessed the prop. He then gagged me for... questioning a mod I guess? Getting mad at him? He never gave a reason.
EDIT: Upon combing through the server rules, he also possibly did two other things. One was muting me for the duration of a round without giving warning or a temp mute. The second is that I can't find ANYTHING in your rules that discuss which props can be possessed--or any possession rules for that matter. So how can he say it warrants a kick if it's not even a listed rule?
When They Did It: Approx 10:30am EST on 8/14/17

Proof: While I don't have a recording of the initial barrel incident, I do have a recording of Jerald stating that he is always recording, and that he agreed to provide a demo of the incident for the purpose of this report.

Other: Overall, this guy has just been really rude to everyone playing. Constantly flaunting rank, constantly mentioning that he has 'recordings' of people doing things that break the rules, and whenever someone questions this, he tells them to "Enjoy the ban request." Even if somehow it turns out he's not abusing his power, he's still making the whole server toxic with his behavior.
Honestly? In the end it was just a kick. Big deal. But to see someone so blatantly parade their moderator privileges as if they are to be feared by everyone else playing? It's really sickening. Mod and staff should be around to make sure everyone is having a fun time playing and to incentivize people to keep playing on your servers, they shouldn't be in the position to stroke their own ego and act like they're above everyone else. If this is what the staff are like in this community I don't think I'll be sticking around.
