Let me put it this way Eod_lover..... If you spend all your time warning, and kicking (I mean straight kicking) most of the admins would never play the game. Thus the reason for bans, they generally get the message across REAL fast.
Take this past weekend when I played EoD for about 3 or 4 hours on Saturday... Do you know how long I actually got to play? MAYBE 30 minutes. I actually, at one point, ended up kicking a banning about 10-15 people in a one hour time frame, 6 of those people on the same round in the same map for going "What the F*&# you think you're doing you god damn smacktard" constantly, yelling profanities, bitching, etc. I spent about the firt 5 minutes warning them and trying to get them to settle down. When they said F*&% off or the like I just started kicking and banning. I did 2 of them at first, then OTHER idiots started doing the same thing and they had been there the entire time I had the problem with the previous players and had kicked/banned them. So did I warn them? Nope, Kick and Ban immediatly. I consider the previous kick and bans warning enough.
That give you any idea on what we go through on a daily basis with baby-sitting, punk kids arguing, TKing, shooting friendly vehicles, base camping, etc.? Do some people make mistakes at times and end up getting perma-banned? Yes... Do innocent people end up getting kicked/banned? Never seen it. I have seen people get kicked/banned without a direct warning from an admin (including myself) but ONLY when there has been a rash of recent kick/bans in the past say 30 minutes or so. I consider that if I have kicked/banned 2-3 people for the same thing you are doing since you have been on and playing... Then that's fair enough warning that if you do it you're going to get kicked and banned. Problem is most players who get kicked/banned don't use simple common sense and pay attention to what is going on. And to tell you the truth, if moreadmins played DC regularly you'd see the same thing going on there. Problem is most of the Admins aren't DC players so the players there tend to have a bit more freedom than EoD players where an Admin is almost always on.
