Sadly enough,
I have witnessed this first hand. It was attempted on me the other day.
I am on aberdeen and an admin starting warning people for idling and subsequently kicking people, nothing wrong with that.
I have always and will always continue to lighten the mood of the server, this is who I am.
So I simply typed in Chat <<<< NOT IDLE.
This seemed to piss the admin off and he started to lecture me. Trolling me to argue with him, I took the high road and even I said "I understood" He kept on scolding me. My response was the same. Basically, baiting me to say something stupid so I could be kicked. I then replied "I heard you and understood" again, Not long after I typed. "I will come back when folks are in a better mood"
I have witnessed many instances of this in the server in which the player was kicked, or the incident escalated to a ban for the player, all because the admin was in a "bullying mode" Don't look at what it escalated too, look where the root of the problem came from.
Admins if you are having a bad day as we all do, Don't take it out on the server pop. I would suggest closing the game and going to get some fresh air. Instances like this is bad customer service and you are in the customer service business, you are not the security cop at the mall that hates kids..lol (maybe you are).
Save what you can of what is left of this game
