Closed Noop - Announcement Box Abuse

[Vaeldious]

Player's Name: Noop
Reason for report: Announcement Box Abuse
Proof/Evidence of report: Logs

Additional Information: Required a couple kicks this morning, despite my pleas, challenged my every word. When instructed that announcement boxes were banned, decided to abuse regardless.

7 Day Ban has been implemented.

 

[Vaeldious]

In response to your snide comments in IRC, yeah I know they work. Thats why I tried to tell you they were banned, yet you had to be a command-tester.

I suggest re-instating a permaban.

Lets get some heavyweights in the ring on this one.

After looking through the logs, I don't see anything explicitly warning him to stop abusing the announcement box.
Here's the log that I'm referring to:

The way I see it, there was a little bit of miscommunication. After stating that the Announcement Box is banned, he simply went ahead to check if it's true (I'm assuming he wasn't continuously spamming the box for the entire time). This is a completely normal behavior in my opinion, to check if something is changed.
As stated earlier, the main issue I see here is that there was no clear warning about abusing the announcement box. The only warning I've seen from the log is "Do not tell me how to do my job - next time will be met with a ban".

From where I stand, this doesn't warrant a permaban. The 7-day ban however, makes sense because of the griefing.
*Assuming it's a minor grief, I shortened it to 3 days

@Noop
If a structure is unprotected, it does not give you the "go ahead" to break through it. You will need to notify a staff member that it's not protected and ask if it's safe to destroy(This assumes the structure is abandoned).

 

[Vaeldious]

Indeed, it was a minor grief, but it was the second time he's done it to the same structure (although the bridge does span the length between hell1 and hell2).

I will concede that it doesnt warrant a permaban, and was already intending on lifting the ban after a few days assuming Noop didn't cause any issues on Forum or in IRC, of which he does not appear to have. I know you want to give Noop a chance, and I will definitely respect that call. I wanted a public forum about the issue so that Noop could partake in the discussion about his actions.

I appreciate your time looking through the logs and your guidance in the matter.
