Utterly wrong. It has to do with the fact that this is the second incident in 2 months where T&T has players from the tournament sparking problems on the server, and both times NickO was involved. There have also been previous incidents of CATA players on T&T that date back further, too.
There is no obligation for
any server to put up with players being rude about admin actions from
any player - (calling them "BS" and "cnut"
is rude).
If you're incorrectly kicked on a server you take it up politely with the server admin or go to the server's own forums to deal with the issue. You don't rejoin the game and spark an argument with the admin and other players. Especially not when the other
players on the server are asking you to shut up and get on with playing.
Nor should you start making bogus assertions about the impartiality of PRT admins, the server's admins or claim you were kicked because one of the admins of the server is also a PRT admin.
Nor is the attitude "it's our gameplay" helpful - players who play on a specific server need to respect the rules of the server, like them or not. If you don't like the rules, you play elsewhere. It's that simple, and in this case, T&T decided that the three people involved last night no longer have to make that decision for themselves.
NickO's kick for 3 TKs should have been the end of it, he could have rejoined and carried on playing just fine. Instead, he and two other players started a pointless argument that irritated other players and irrtated the admin.
T&T regularly have players saying that tight, quick admining is what sets the server aside from other popular servers. They don't tolerate fools gladly, but will forgive even deliberate TKs if someone is willing to apologise. NickO & Co decided that kicking up a fuss was the better option, hence the response from T&T.
To make it
absolutely clear: I wasn't online at the time, most T&T members (including senior admins) weren't even aware that I administrate over at the PRT, and given NickO's attitude and previous actions on the T&T server I'm not surprised that the senior admins (Epoch owns the T&T server) decided that he wasn't welcome.
