[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]i agree with your post Slaethin,
Altough behaviour that soley is there to ruin for others have never been accepted.

I have myself jailed people for "boxing" the entrance to ocllo, but we (the staff) have used other punishments than jail. Stuff that force a player to "work" and when they have completed the task given by staff they have been released. (this behaviour might seem as 'powerabuse' in your eyes) but it's not, i choose that instead of jail (for some non homepage stated rules) because i think its more 'fun' and better for the punished player to be able to actually do something instead of staying afk/logged out in jail.

I get what your trying to explain in your post - and im sure everyone agrees with you.

My advice to everyone that feel 'abused' by a staff member is to:
1. act mature tell the staff this during the conversation (dont spam; idiot, whore, i leave for shard xxx and other insulting comments - as staff are people aswell )
2. Email or PM Taran, even here as mature as possible explain what happened what you did and what the staff did ([email protected])

I do not hope anyone ever will have to feel rejected or 'abused'. But if you do please dont enter a "nerdfrenzyrage" take it calm and try to follow the suggestions above if you fail with step one then goto step 2 above. And let Taran handle the staff.

Remember that Taran got very detailed logs of all staff (its like a video basically) special logs for commands speeches etc.

I guess what i am trying to say is that the giving and taking have to be a two way communication. only because your a player your not allowed to do whatever you like. Rules are there for a reason. If you find it 'funny' or w/e there is in 99% of the cases one or more players on the other end that dont. (should smart/somewhat abusing players be able to benefit on the laughter on other players, i dont think so and i do not think you do eather)

But like i said, i did read your post and i agree with what your saying, but it has to be a two way communication and respect given from both sides (respect towards in-x from players, and respect given from staff to players) I have personally seen some players scream and act really imature to some staff and the staff have done nothing. so please respect should go both ways.

But yes i agree! and i found your post good. As that is something i believe everyone need to think about (not only staff) but i agree on that staff have to think about it more than players, and i also agree on that staff is the face outwards towards the community and players, and thus need to be more "proffesional".[/COLOR]
