[ReThink]

Almost as if I was leaving and not reading any more messages - announcing that I'm leaving automatically makes it NOT an RDM and leave, the admin is supposed to just queue the slay for the next time the player logs on.

No, you're supposed to ask if you can leave and then leave considering you had a pending report. That's the procedure.

The rules do not clarify this at all, actually. So the "procedure" is subjective. I clearly announced my intention to leave knowing I had open reports because I had to leave. I am not obligated to wait because admins aren't doing their job, and I'm clearly a regular that just had an open ticket. Therefore the ban is willfully ignorant of the situation and unjustified - originating from the admin's laziness and unwillingness to do their job and taking the easy way out.
