    Unfortunately a good portion of the players on Minetime use hacked/modded clients therefore putting them in the dust when it comes to providing proof. Player/staff reports constantly get turned down because of the possibility someone is using FakeChat to frame an innocent staff member or player. Therefore even if a player is contributing proof to rebut the ban/mute against them, there is a good chance it will be turned down due to this concern.

    If we do anything with lengthy consequences, like a 1 week mute/ban or something that is permanent we usually provide appropriate evidence so that it cannot be appealed by some liar claiming they did nothing wrong (like most rule breakers try to claim). However, for the 1 hour punishments or warnings there's really no need.



    Unrelated note:
    For those of you that are curious and haven't really seen what happens, the following describes the average instance of someone who accuses staff of abuse:

    Player: Omg you ******* ****** you killed me.
    Staff: /warn player profanity
    Player: **** you too staff, abusing warnings like a *****
    Staff: /tempmute player 1h profanity / ignoring warnings
    Player: /msg friend Omg ******* ****** staff ******* muted me for nothing. What a ****** abuser. I'm gonna **** his mom.
    Staff: /tempban player 1d inappropriate chat / profanity / disrespecting staff / ignoring warnings
    Player: *makes thread on forums cussing out staff and saying that they are abusing because the player never did anything wrong*

    As long as you're not as dumb as the player described above you're fine.
    To that certain group of players on factions, you know who I'm talking about and you know who you are.

    If behavior similar to that which is described above continues, we may well start perm banning players for it.

    Edit: So, before you listen to your "friend" and shout at staff for supposed abuse, think on what actually happened, chances are the story they weave is just a bit false.

    1 reason why some hacked clients such as FakeChat, etc need to be BANNED. The hacked client allowing needs to be limited.

    Banning certain clients won't solve this issue.

    You're supposed to rage at everyone; at least that's what I tend to do. ;)

    Yeah. Banning certain clients would just make more work for staff, and less work being put into the stuff that really matters.

    I have also seen Donators acting as staff, ie. Donators telling other people to be quiet or they will ban him [Where they cannot]

    Exactly, and that's actually abusing (not abusing if bypassing chat filter, and such.) Example:
    Player: I like pringles.
    Donator: Shut up, or I will ban you.
    This has to stop.

    Okay. Most new members aren't familiar with quoting is all. :)
