I have been banned with no reason from this server. Although I respect all the rules and I had a perfect behavior with my team-players I have been banned for no reason. But I'm suspecting that the only reason I have been banned is my nickname becouse I really know I didn't do anything wrong. I'm waiting to hear why I have been banned. This game is going to loose it's humor.

It was a temp ban (2 hours). I would like to know the reason too. Banning admin respond pls

what's the humorous part about assad&gaddafi again?

I was with the Admin who banned him .
The reason is your Name ...
Its like somebody takes the Name "Hitler&Mussolini"

well i gues that goes a bit far for a ban reason :/
i dont realy see any violation of rules here, i dont even think the name is offensive. could be that other people see this difrently but thats my opinion

I banned you because of your name, some of the squad members found it very offensive too.
So I gave you the temp ban to think about a new ingame nick.
At the moment i banned you this was definetly not the right name for a serious and public PR server, not in ages like this we have in da real world

Maybe you can do this at your own server or you paint your living room with names from these guys but please not on an offical server where other ppl from other countries could get offended by names like this

The funny part is that this is a game where people are enjoy playing together and laughing using various names often related to the atmosphere of the maps of the game. If there were maps for example in North Korea, I assure you that there would be players with names like "Kim Yong Un" etc. Does it means that they would be secrets agents or spies of the North Korean governmet ? For God's sake.
The rules have to do with respect of the rules of the game and behavior of the players and not with their names. But even if it concerns the names, in my case, you comparing apples with oranges. Hitler and Mousolini were fascists and neonazi that invaded and attacked other countries and they are responsible for the 2nd world war. Assad is now fighting AGAINST Isis and terrorism in his country while gaddafi is a picturesque (particular) name for fun that belongs to the past. Thus your comparison is an EPIC FAILURE, even more if we consider that all the weapons that are in the hands of terrorists today are made IN YOUR COUNTRIES....

I completely agree with your statement as it concerns extremism, fascism and terrorism like ISIS. But my name HAVE NOTHING to do with this as I explained above. Also, ask people of you clan or other clans of how we have enjoy playing together with these names. Becouse this is a game right ?

Furthermore, this is a very dangerous way for the game, becouse you turn in into a political agenta and you dont see it as a game. Now you ban Assad, tommorow you will ban communist (there is a player with such a name) and in a few days you will ban everyone whos his name is not perfectly fit in your political agenda. It seems that players in your server soon will be afraid of choosing insurgency or rusia side becouse they will be banned lol. My God, this is madness.

I will change my name in your server (if I connect again) becouse these are the new rules (or the new order) of the server which I have to respect as it is yours. BUT mostly I will change my name in your server becouse there is no fun anymore afte this incident. BUT The problem is not my name. The problem is that you put the virus of a political agenta in a game which created for fun and joy and you cross the limits not by kicking extremists (like ISIS) -to which i agree- but also everyone which you don't like his name.

This is what I meant by saying that "This game is going to loose its humor". It seems it already lost it.

Thank you

i kinda have to agree with asad to a certain degree, this is a game you are meant to have fun and to a certain degree politics are indeed getting draged into it, you cant blame it on anybody its just something prone to hapen at some point.
Racism and Facism is definetly a bad thing and in this case there may have been a missunderstanding or just missinformation etc (to clarifie this, i do not consider either asad nor gaddafi equal to hitler or mosulini because of facts that do not belong into this thread for varius reasons)
either way there could have been other measures to take such as warn a person and/or ask them nicely if they would change the name the next time they conect
aditionaly @assad it will be very likely that other server admins will talk to, kick or even ban you, as was here the case, for the the exact same reason. ive seen it hapen on some servers with even less provocative names, so it would be very wise to change it

@e are indeed comparing apples and oranges in terms of scale but is it less of a crime to torture 60.000 people to death in assads prisons compared to 6 million jews who died in concentration camps?

Thanks for the answer

First of all I would like to stress out again that this is a game with lot of maps related to Middle East conflicts, thus the use of these names make sense. Imagine that we play a 2nd world war game, it is obvious that many players or squads would have names like Stalin, Charles de Gaulle, soviet/red army, or even gestapo, etc. Is this insane ? Of course not. It has to do with the theme of the game each time. Yesterday in your server (if I remember well) there was a squad with the name techie-jihad. According to your line of thinking you have to ban them all, right ? Pls Dont loose the limit between reality and game.

As it concerns What Fuller said, I m not going to continue a political discussion because it is out of the games purpose. I say only this. The truth is that in this war(Syria) BOTH SIDES have done mistakes and bad things. if there are 60.000 imprisoned people in Syria as you said, I can assure you that the jihadists gangsters your government support have also kill, kidnap and torture the same or even a larger number of people. Ask the minorities how they have suffered from these gangs. Ask the Christian community of the town of Maalula (an ancient Christian city on Syria) how they have suffered from the FSA or google it. Thus things are not always black and white. Most time the truth is between these colors and innocent people pays the price for both sides. Thus, your political comparison of Assad to Hitler still remains an epic failure. Hitler was a fascist who killed million Jews, 20 million soviet people and so many others in the name of nazism. Assad is anti-fascist and despite his mistakes he had voted laws to protect and respect all the minorities, national or religious. This war is a civil war with strong religious elements along with economic and geopolitical games in the area and has nothing to do with what happened before 50 years. It is clear that this comparison is only in your head.

But all these things have nothing to do with the game we play...until now.

I will not continue this discussion because it is out of the scope and spirit of the game as I said.
I will change my name to avoid such incidents because as JohnFox said this will happen for sure in other servers as well.

Why is everyone discutating with admins? Even other admins are talking about some other admins decision. It makes me sick reeding it, if rhe admin thinks its better for the server then let him do this. If a admin is doing smth dont try to discutate or critizise the decision.
Guys its really annoying.
So you got banned for 2hrs, you have the rights to ask why you get banned but please, please dont try to tell us whats to do...that should count for other admins too in this community except headadmins.

Getting tired of this crap

Headadmin said the Tb was legit so why the discussion ?
