Two of Deserted Haven's Owners, Side (aka Adio) and Gimp, were banned this morning/early afternoon today from your GunGame server. I wish to apologize on their behalf. Their actions with mic spamming/racism and chat spamming, respectively, were inappropriate, especially given their status. The issue, at least on our side, has already been rectified.
However, with that being said, I would ask a favor: That people with the DH tag are treated no differently on NU's servers, as people with the NU tag are treated on DH's servers: with fairness and without hostility or scorn simply because they play at DH.
It was unjust that Gimp was banned alongside Side, as it was Side who played the inappropriate music, not Gimp- Gimp doesn't have the ability to play music. Likewise, it was unjust that Side was repeatedly being kicked for being "AFK" and "Camping", even despite having just initiated an rtv after a map change, and knifed the admin responsible, and was not actually being AFK or camping.
While Side's ban was justified (as he had admitted to me the song he played might have had racism in it), the way he was treated, up to and including the point of his ban, was not. Gimp, similarly, did not deserve to be banned, when silencing (by NU's own standards) would have been more than suitable.
I have nothing personal against the admin responsible, and still consider him a friend of mine. Similarly, I hold no ill-will against NU. Our forums even link to yours, and we still refer people to NU. However, to quote Sio, "It's issues like this that strain communities", and I would like to see this issue resolved peaceably, and would ask that action be taken to both clarify and rectify the situation, for both communities' sakes.
