Hello! Just recently I was playing my favorite tf2 trading server, a harpoon gaming server. whilst playing, and having the usual fun I do most everyone on the server began talking about their religion. ( I know its something you really shouldn't be talking about on an online game ) anyhow, I became enthralled with the subject at hand and diverged myself within the argument. Of course, I jokingly claimed that we shouldn't have been discussing this as it usually leads to bloody fights. Unknown to me, a moderator had apparently told us to stop the incessant bickering. I would have agreed but sadly, I have a horrible ping as I am hosted by a company known as Viasat, notorious for horrid ping. I was kicked without notice. But to my dismay, when I rejoined and checked the rule board, there was blatant proof I had not broken a single rule! Astonished, I asked the moderator known as XderpedirtX ( or something along the lines ), as to why I was kicked. The moderator then began to explain why I was kicked, yet never mentioning a single rule from the board I had broken. I pondered more about the situation and was told to "Quit arguing". I made it clear multiple times that I wasn't arguing and was just checking to see if there was a new rule that needed to be put on the rules board. So I asked " could you tell me the any extra rules that aren't on the board so that I may act better for future reference?". Well, apparently asking for an updated list of rules from a moderator was a wrong move because I was kicked once again, quite literally the screen said: [Kicked for: "No"] I , quite enraged but still about my calm side asked once again, " may I please have an updated list of rules". my client crashed and I did not get a response, so: 1)Will someone tell me if there are some rules that I should be following that aren't on the rules list? Because I love Harpoon Gaming and it would be quite a shame to be kicked from one of the few quality servers out there. I do not wish to go "server hunting" just because I couldn't follow rules which I did not know about. Thank you for reading this!-sincerely, zakattakmann
Hello zakattakmann, Firstly, this is the Introduction section of the forum, I've moved your thread to somewhere more appropriate. Secondly, there are rules that stand that aren't listed on the rule board. If a conversation that is going on leads to people being uncomfortable a staff member will ask that the mic be kept for trade chat, if it leads to larger issues, kicks may be given out, and returning back and asking for all the rules isn't possible. Some rules are written, some are as necessary to prevent further issues, we ask that you listen to the staff members in the server and respect their requests.
