Mind if I ask what he did? I didn't exactly follow the whole ban process n' shizz.

He targeted a staff member out of spite by sharing their picture in skype chats without their permission. Oh, and did I mention he did this exact thing twice?

Why not state the actual reasons while you're at it to avoid further argument? just sayin'

I won't give specific specifics simply to avoid any issues with the players involved arising but he was going around and spreading a rumor in OOC chat on the server, in Skype chats, etc that one player was selling another player's nudes. That on top of an extremely toxic attitude throughout the whole thing and the hacking lead to his indefinite ban.

Nobody should be given permission to hack wtf

Why are the dev team allowed to permit players to use hacked clients and then when somebody obviously uses it to troll, they are simply unbanned. What. If that was kincaid or eddy they'd be gone in a heartbeat without chance of appeal.

That is a wonderful question there Mr. A Moongazer! Lets throw it back to Bob who is on site with Kowaman to see what he has to say on the issue, Bob:

Bob: "Thank you, Cablam. I'm here on the scene of Cancer Station 2017, also known as LotC, with the Lead Developer and long time nepotistic abuser, Kowaman! So Kowaman, what do you have to say to these claims?"

Kowaman:

Lol that's a lot of lies and salt.

Bob: "Right... Well, looks like that's all from us here, back to you Cablam!"

Edit: I'd like to add on to this that wolfkite was banned for far more than hacking. Kowaman asked that the hacking part of his ban be removed though.

As for books that's a complicated issue that we haven't had the time to look at.

Wow I expected you to at least put as much effort into your response as you did your pitiful attempt at fixing bookshelves. If your only response to that is "That's a lot of lies and salt" without any proof to back your claim up that's just sad.

i.e. some grapple hook complaints that I felt exaggerated were legitimized when I was shown their behaviour. I knew they were intended to be far less powerful, so I fixed them.

As you can see in the screenshot, the GM team proposed and passed this rule among themselves on March 9th faaaaaaaar before you came anywhere near the issue. Once we put up that rule change though you threw a hissy fit because skill swaps make the server so much money. Also yes people, that is why changes were barred from being made to these things. But what ended up happening was the rule was removed and the GMs were yelled at by the admins, or more specifically 501, but then you go around a month or two later and make the change because "Oh yeah that's broken". Listen to the people who work with this **** day in and day out.

On top of the previous fact you, months ago, attempted to fix bookshelves deleting books and absolutely fucked them with your first patch. It took you over a day to then try another fix which left bookshelves in a worse state than they were originally! I've told you this time and time again for the past few months and even made another bug report, https://gitlab.lordofthecraft.net/lotc-public/LotC-Tracker/issues/176, but you've yet to even go within 10 feet of the issue that you made worse. People's books are literally being deleted and you don't give a ****.

I was done being attacked.

The only reason you were being 'attacked' was because when we brought these concerns forwards to you all we got in response was "We don't need approval" and "We did nothing wrong". As a reference, here is the chat logs Thomas shared previously from out report to Tythus on 501 and Kowaman, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D_N1HcVLARIM1HcLm3HI3Cv7QqcFzrws5xfWqiTeY8k/edit. Pay close attention for the imgur album shared in the logs.

We do not tolerate hacking. We do not allow it. We ban hackers without discrimination. For selected people we permit hacked clients, they report exploits, bugs, and test things for us. They are observed closely, and misuse results in an immediate ban. It sounds sketchy, maybe stupid, but it works well.

That's why you pulled me into a discord voice chat, key word voice because you didn't have the gall to tell it to me over text chat, asking for the claims on wolfkite hacking to be lifted despite him blatantly fly hacking to get into the Orenian palace to proceed to troll. Funny how that works isn't it?

Speaking of which, Wolfkite was recently unbanned despite what he did warranting a very long ban because of what I can only presume was 501 and Beast's spite for all of us leaving the staff teams. This unbanning went directly against protocol as well since Wolfkite didn't make an appeal to anyone but the admins who then voted on it among themselves rather than taking it to the GM team. Funny how that works isn't it?

We invite Admins & GMs to our team meetings

As far as I can remember the last time you notified the GM team of your meetings was at least a month or two ago.

16 hours ago, Kowaman said:

All moderation actions worked on them

This is a flat out lie. GMs cannot search through the inventories of these accounts, something we've brought up many times already. Did I also mention the fact that Devs have been whitelisting alt accounts numerous times without even making a whitelist application? This poses a serious problem for GMs when moderating situations with them involved, something I can say from firsthand experience.

16 hours ago, Kowaman said:

If we miss the mark and remove a necessary permission, we re-add it immediately as we are notified

That's why in order for the GMs to get /? again you bargained for the Devs to be added back to the GM chats.

Developer Powers

This isn't really related to the admin issue you brought up but you have on many occasions over stepped your bounds with your permissions. There have been 2 occasions in which you've done investigating in terms of meta gaming, something that is supposed to be left to GMs, and you and your character were directly involved in both situations. Did someone say bias?

On top of that you have gone off at me in Teamspeak for leaving floating wool borders on regions when they haven't built yet, removed a fast travel because "It wasn't possible" despite there literally being land connecting the two places and most recently you decided to waltz up to the Library of Dragur and worldedit out our giraffe. Stay classy, Kowaman.

P.S, the tall yellow animal has returned.

Thank you for the introduction Phil. Here at [Redacted] Industries we pride ourselves on creating the most cutting edge of technology, incorporating live human testing into all our fields of study to ensure the most accurate and best results. As such, we lead the market in fields such as arcane augmentation, weapons of mass destruction, mass murder but most importantly technology that is so dangerous we really shouldn't be poking at it with a 1543 ft pole. One of such technologies we have patented and trademarked, both of which you are now infringing upon.

People ask me, Cablam, how do you stay so far ahead of the game? Well the answer to this question is simple. Not only do we have state of the art facilities at [Redacted] Industries but we also are really, really good at disemboweling our competition. Figuratively and literally. Thus, all our lawyers come equipped with fully enchanted plate armour and a broadsword. Now I know what you're thinking, "How could a lawyer possibly need those to do their work?" To that I say, "Disembowelment."

Our requests are simple, hand over this creation that is in all honesty inferior to ours, like lets be real here, a Voidal tear? Come on, I expected better than that. No matter, hand over the creation and no literal disembowelment has to occur, only figurative. Thank you, and have a lovely day.
