Admin name: Unknown
Server: #2
Date/Time: 2014-04-27, ~16:00 (UTC)
Synopsis:

I'll keep this brief. Somebody muted me and I have no idea why. According to Conor, this form of punishment is almost never employed and I couldn't have used adminhelp to ask for a reason anyway. Here's an overview of the puzzle pieces I have:

- I spawned as the AI. The round soon turned out be a admin-gimmick one, so I figured it would be best to lean back and let them have some fun with their buses. I didn't interfere in any way and probably wrote less than 30 lines in total, none of which I'd consider annoying or offensive.
- OOC was enabled. I didn't use it once, neither did I ping any PDAs.
- While I did use a couple of emotes in response to people in my in chamber, there was no spamming going on.
- I don't think I missed any admin PMs. As for adminhelp...didn't send any before being muted.
- Eventually discovered my predicament when trying to respond to a mentorhelp.
- Conor checked my player notes after the server restarted. He said they were blank.

That is all I know. I'd appreciate if the person in question could tell me what I did wrong, so I can avoid making whatever my mistake was in the future.

Log: "You are muted have a nice day"
Extra Information: According to my logs, these admins were online at the relevant time: Conor12, MagicMountain, SpaceNaba, Wonkmin

Correction: my player notes aren't blank, they just contain nothing relevant to this round. Sorry for the confusion.

please dont mute people unless they're cluwne spamming

[Conor12]

Being muted is a horrible experience. I'd sure be angry if I got muted without an explanation!

I was playing at the time and was on the IRC, he didn't get any PMs.

I was detective during that round, and didn't hear or see anything bad from the AI.

[mozi]

whoever did this needs to own up to it!

FYI I remember when this happened it was mentioned that an admin may have misclicked and muted you by accident.

[Convair880]

If it was an accident, I can accept that. No hard feelings. You may want to change some aspects of muting should though. It is my understanding that there isn't a notification for the affected party, he/she can't even use adminhelp to ask why and muting actions aren't included in the log of previous rounds. Aside from providing a horrible experience for the player (I agree with Conor here), it could potentially be abused.

[Wire]

Yeah a lot of admin actions are ancient and thus not tied in correctly with things like out of game logging and confirmation prompts. This is actually a project I have taken upon myself (cleaning up admin stuff) so it is being worked on. Sorry you were the receiver of this terrible admin power though.

[Conor12]

Muting is horrible. There isn't much that can be done given the lack of logs. And since no-one has came forward to give a reason for it, it seems to be a genuine mistake and they didn't notice. (It may have even been me!)

Sorry you were on the recieving end of some admin stupidity, Convair.
