I wasn't talking smack to anyone about my singing either. I jokingly said "Good thing I'm not singing Celine Dion" and that was that.

I was civily arguing with TheG2 about USB headphones when "Console" told us to stop, although there was very little hostility. I already admitted being "warned" about singing and I stopped, and you are telling me that for doing it once more tiny as a joke I'm banned for 2 weeks without having any prior kicks or bans for my behavior in the past and being a pretty much well liked and respected regular of voogru?
Allow me to be blunt on a few things (it's how I am):

- First off, I was the "console" at the time - an argument sparked that was far from civil and I diffused it. I did this via a RCON window outside of the game, so once it stopped, I moved on to other things. My warning was completely unrelated to any "singing" that may have been taking place because I obviously couldn't hear it.

- You seem to be confused about the nature of warnings here. I say this because, technically, an admin doesn't have to do any such thing. By connecting to the server, we assume you have read and understand the rules that exist. If you haven't, it's no excuse. Warnings are of course an option (that is used quite frequently), but try not to presume that this courtesy is something you're entitled to, especially if you were being a dick just minutes prior to your offense (logs don't lie, so neither should you).

- Right up until I saw this latest post I was actually discussing the possibility of reducing your ban time. The way I see it now, you have one of maybe three options, two of which I'll explain now. You can choose to apologize for your actions and politely ask us to reduce the ban time or you can simply wait it out. In both cases, you'll need to ensure that you don't break anymore rules when you come back or you'll be risking a permanent ban. The choice is yours, but I personally recommend option #1.
