I'm presented a case of an abridged log, wherein, in the rain (i.e. no burning damage), I misread embers request to be something akin to "Can my name be Blue2000_Fax"(If you read the log beforehand you can see that I wasn't aware of embers prior requests) from which, (for context) earlier in the day, and the day before, players in the Member_P and Ascii had been playing around with the /nick command to call themselves "Blue2001", and "NotAscii"so I took my misread of ember's request for a jestful attempt at such and I lit ember on fire for 1 second in response. Bwoof then decides to hit me a few times in spawn and call me a dick... The rest of the log flows straightforward without me needing to add context. I overreacted by doing 1 hour, and if you continue reading I was convinced of such and lowered the temp ban to 10 minutes. And if you continue reading past the log you can see no evidence of ill will or depredation on Bwoof's return.
But aside from that.
What I find absolutely flabbergasting is a 0% attempt by anyone to bring up the fact that anyone was feeling "harassed". There has been no communication what so ever. I've put in near 150 hours scripting things like the script that returns part of a player's inventory and experience back to them when they die (while dropping the rest). World inventory safeguarding, NPCs like Yord and the Map, Merchant, Banker, and Spawn Eggs guys. I built the walls around Spawn and designed the gates that keep the mobs out, I also built the arena. And I'm constantly writing and rewriting scripts like the "gt_mobaway" lantern script to try and give players a better experience; I spent hours just fixing the permissions when they kerploded a few months ago. Kept the server single-handedly updated for a year and a half with little to no help. Sponsored and created the popular Member_P group and moved to get moderators back onto the server. Not-withstanding all the 3.0 specific dev. And my /seen report has never been longer than 3 weeks in 5 straight years.
Now I get home from day 3 of week 3 of my Mother in the ICU having suffered a subdural hematoma on June 28th that she's not likely to recover from, to see that I've been demoted without absolutely the sniff of an indication or even the most cursory question my way.
This just doesn't register. at all. And most of all I just feel super unappreciated and disrespected the most.
That's the damaging part.
