Give us a brief description of the incident.
Brief description? Sorry, I can't do that. As a preface----bear with me----I'm an amateur voice actor. I joined the server, initially advertising trades in various accents and voices. The admin mistook this as mic spam, and wouldn't see it any other way. At the same time, the admin, like a broken record, was droning about goings-on in his life. Nobody cared. Some people even went out of their way to state that they didn't care. Anyway, my first 'offense' was apparently 'mic spamming' over him. He 'warned' me within the same several seconds during which he muted me; at this point, I still wasn't gagged, so, of course, I asked why I was muted without warning. He claimed that I personally attacked him, then absolutely refused to unmute me. At one point, he even threatened to gag me if I continued asking questions. Then, out of the blue, he unmutes me. At this point, I had built up a bunch of talking points that couldn't be well-communicated via text. I tried to speak my piece, then he interrupted by slinging a slur at me----
"Calm down, n****r," he authoritatively barked. I asked him why he said what he said, to which he responded with something along the lines of "Oh, what did I call you?"
Of course, I responded unabashedly. He then, within several seconds, 'warned' me and outright silenced me for 'racial slurs.' He baited me, through and through, to achieve some 'justification.' Nobody was fooled; people stood up for me during my first mute, and through my period of silence on all mediums. Some threatened to report him. He, though briefly, bragged about how rules, specifically the one about racial slurs, don't apply to him, as well as how he cannot be held accountable as he exclusively, intentionally so, used voice. After what I like to call 'civil unrest,' he unsilenced me after stating that he was going to leave. He stuck around to see if I would say anything about him; the people who were chiming in throughout the ordeal on my behalf called him out for trying to bait me for a second time. He then left.
Though he ultimately unsilenced me, it seemed a shallow attempt at damage control. He knew I had witnesses, and he knew people would vouch for me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to backpedal---I'm convinced. It was a power-trip, through and through. He was acting irrationally for reasons unspecified, though said reasons were alluded to. He couldn't explain himself fully. In fact, he refused to. When debating, he kept trying to shift to issues in his life. People called his irrational behavior an outlet, or a projection, of these factors. Of course, he denied this. Even so, he kept coming back to these issues, never once elaborating. He had no recourse----no justification----no excuse. Keep an eye on him, at the very least. Maybe bait of our own could prompt him to act out.
Proof Links?
All I have are witnesses, although one of them is a close friend who watched the whole thing. Recording a demo crashes my game, and my computer isn't good enough to record anything----no dice. I know that this report thusly won't get things done quick. I suspect that questioning this mod will terminate in a sob story and no repercussions whatsoever. I'm hopeless as far as quantitative, secure, tangible evidence is concerned, but bear with me, I implore you. I'm going out of my way to write this. I don't harbor any ill will toward this individual. He is simply unfit to do his job for reasons aforementioned. He outright laughed at rules, haughtily writing them off as strictures that simply don't apply to admins----it's bullshit.
Anyway, here are the two eager witnesses: https://steamcommunity.com/id/nonten4/ https://steamcommunity.com/id/boliviangaming03/
