Your Warcraft III username: SMP1M
Realm/Gateway: East
Why are you banned: Votekick abuse
Why you should be unbanned: https://entgaming.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=66579
If you watch the replay I gave him plenty of chances to listen to the other players, I myself played titan so I had no idea what went on in allied chat, however I gave them plenty of warning. I can in retrospect see that I was a bit fast on agreeing on the VK. I mostly made this topic to get another admins opinion. Thanks in advance. http://storage.entgaming.net/replay/vie ... 386269.w3g < game in question

@SMP1N You gave him absolutely no chance and more likely threatened the builders and demanded they go through with an invalid votekick.
(16:49 / All) SMP1M: kick him or i kil
(16:53 / All) SMP1M: i will not give free scouting
You even took the liberty of not only violating the VK system but also abusing it yourself:
(20:02 / All) SMP1M: !votekick wasab
(20:02 / All) Hit: A votekick against player [wasabi62] has been started by player [SMP1M]. 5 votes are needed within 60 seconds to pass.
(20:02 / All) Hit: Type !yes to vote.
(20:02 / All) Hit: ** Note: !votekick should only be used to kick players breaking a rule. You should not votekick players new to the game!
(20:07 / All) SMP1M: kick him or i destroy his tower near mid

Any comments to this?

Vision is an important factor in island defense, at that point I already assumed he received warnings from the builders, as I said I might've been a bit rash in my decision.

When you're titan, you cannot see the allies chat, so you have no way of knowing if his teammates were even helping him. Given that, you should have brought it upon yourself to ask in all-chat if he was being helped in any way, which in this case, he was not. You did not ask, you just assumed, and ultimately kicked a new player for not knowing how to play. You are being held responsible for your own actions just like everyone else.

Alright. Could you whitelist ponycat? he's my brother and plays on same ip as me. Or does he need to make an own appeal for that?

Well it goes without saying, but I will apologize regardless for being too rash in this case. I'm usually one of the most generous people when it comes to new players. I can probably dig up some replays if it would help you revisit my case, if not, then I guess I'll c yu in 4-5 days.

Overall I find your irrational decision to be a mistake on your end if you deem yourself a friendly being to the newcomers, that being said,

Please go over to our wiki and find both the General Rules and the Island Defense Rules and read both of them then paste the links of which you read so I know you've done such and are willing to cooperate to your potential unban.
