So if rules are 'subjective' then is there really any recourse other than a ban? Several admins have said that I'm 'within the rules' or 'rules lawyering' or etc, but "detrimental" or "annoying" or other nebulous, subjective qualities, how exactly am I meant to change or correct any "wrong" behavior I have exhibited? Repeatedly I have been told by the admin staff to stop being 'annoying', a 'prick', a 'jerk' or other petty insults that have little to no real meaning. I would say that 99% of the playerbase is made up of annoying pricks and jerks, in fact.
I would argue that if something I've done is truly unacceptable, make it against the rules, so it isn't simply admins playing favorites as to who gets to do what. If I was more in line with the 'community' and thus more ironic/laid back/weed420everyday/etc, my playstyle would suddenly be considered fine or even hilarious pranking. In fact, many things I've done on the server that are 'annoying' are things that have been done to me in the past, or things I have witnessed being done, by other players. Not that I'm repeating that behavior towards the same players that have exhibited it, but I will use the gimmicks I've seen (and sometimes been told by the admin staff are 100% OK) in other rounds.
So basically I don't have whatever undefinable, vague quality you seem to want. I am a person who acts a certain way and isn't suddenly going to be more likable to you, because I either have no idea how, or no interest in being that way.
For the record, I still say Naba behaved inappropriately, I believe the personal insults of the admin staff are inappropriate as well, and finally, to paraphrase something once said to me by a wise, bespectacled fellow with long hair:
Let me just point out that saying you're not doing something while doing it does not make you not do it. - Marquesas.
You can say you are not directly threatening a ban for anything in this thread, but that doesn't make it true.
