Th3 is right, your attitude towards this is completely inappropriate. Yes, I know I'm not staff, and if you couldn't get what I was trying to say, I'll explain it a bit more. You don't literally "sign up" for that stuff. What I meant by that is you agree/expect to deal with it when you take the job. Same thing goes for what I said about what I signed up for. It seems as you aren't handling this correctly, I have been respectful the entire time and for a staff member to come in, without reading the post, telling me to just leave if I don't like it seems a little rude. That doesn't seem like something a good staff member would say. I will be talking to the higher-ups if this kind of behavior continues. I'm surprised you haven't got in trouble for telling me that I "can always leave" yet. A retired head of staff replied, and if he would have been staff you would have been yelled at, guaranteed. You're a member of staff, you're held to a higher standard than normal players on the server. However, it seems that you don't understand that yet.

Here's what I have to say to this: If you're too lazy to take the time to read valid criticism, then you should not be commenting on the post. As a player, I signed up to have fun, enjoy my time, RP, and be treated fairly. Yes, I may not do everything correctly and get in trouble from time to time, but that's what I signed up for. You, however, are a moderator. You signed up for a lot more than just that. You signed up to possibly deal with people you may not like/may not like you, deal with criticism, deal with people who are complete minges and have 0 respect, and much more. I am not one of those minges, but by telling me "you can always leave" I seem to be treated as though I am one. If you don't like dealing with what you signed up for, you can always just leave.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for being thoughtful in your reply. Yes, there are 2 sides to the story. I believe that Rocco Rex/Blep was mad, and rightfully so (partially.) At this point, I could care less if a punishment is given to anybody. The point of this post was to show my frustration and get other people's opinions on the situation (if they wanted to sit and read for an hour.) Also, by the responses I have received thus far, I do believe that the staff team has become more professional as a whole, and I applaud you all for that. Also, I know some staff members that do great at their jobs, and some that don't. I know there are always going to be people out there who may not like me for whatever reason or people who may just be having a bad day, but I felt that I had dealt with that a little too much on the server. Not only from staff, but from police. Also, I didn't want to explain the other story due to how much longer my essay would have gotten lol. Also, I want to show something else from my point of view. As I mentioned, not everything I did was right, and I had been disrespectful to players and staff at times. If I would have recorded any of it, I believe it would have got me nowhere as many people would point out that I said this or did that, and may overlook what the staff member did due solely to my actions. I would really like to try and avoid situations like this in the future, as it isn't fun for any party. I will try my best to do what I do right, so I won't have people mad at me. Thank you for your reply. Have a nice day! Thanks for the reply, and I fully understand. I do realize that not everyone is like this, but most of the situations I have gotten mixed up in have involved someone like that, staff or not. I do still believe that Rocco Rex/Blep shouldn't have been in the sit, but it doesn't matter at this point. I'm unbanned and don't care too much about it any more, but if it happens again, I will 100% have evidence. So I really hope it doesn't happen again. Thanks again.

I put father down in the post that I have no evidence and at this point don't care to show any. I was only trying to make a point with this post, and show my frustration. As you can see by how much I've typed, I've become pretty frustrated over this. I get what you're saying, and this post was originally going to be a staff report. However, due to my lack of evidence and formatting, it was deleted almost immediately after being posted. (If I even posted it in the right place lmao) I added some more to make a discussion post as I have had bad experiences in the past. I wanted to call attention to the issue as a whole, which I had to due to the lack of evidence for the most recent incident. I NEED to start recording gameplay more often lol. Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for taking the time to read it and for making a valid reply. I understand that it wasn't much of a report, and I have no evidence besides the chat logs, which only the staff have access to. I was not recording at the time, and am not trying to defend my side on that situation. I simply wanted to bring this kind of behavior to the attention of others and get their opinions.

I put it here for a reason. Did you read the full thing?

Hello, If you are the owner or one of the owners of Gaminglight, this is for you. Otherwise, you are most likely part of the problem, and your replies to this may not be read. I have had multiple instances in the past where the staff has treated my friends and I unfairly. There are also instances of double standards, which are used all the time by staff and higher ranks. This is in the staff reports section because the issue I recently had addresses TheJayden and Jay. However, I have experienced this type of treatment from a lot of staff, not saying all staff. There are admins that are fair and just, and they are VERY hard to come by. This post addresses not only TheJayden and Jay, but most of the staff members of the entire Gaminglight Network. Preface: Yes, I know I have been in the wrong in the past, and am not the greatest RPer. I am NOT saying I have done nothing wrong, which I know I would be harassed for if I left this part out. I admit to wrongdoing, but I believe that admins have done wrong, and are not held accountable for it. This post was made to possibly help Gaminglight as a whole become more fair, and probably more enjoyable, for the masses. So the incident went a little like this: My friend and I were roleplaying as a mom and a dad. We were trying to be funny by telling people they were grounded in OOC for the dumbest things. Some people went along with this. Also, there were only 16 people online at the time of the event, which wouldn't cause major issues. My friend and I were both previously warned for RDM and ARDM after a mixup with the rules. (We both knew a guy who was being shot at and we shot back, but the guy didn't have the same last name as us.) The guy who called an admin on us was Blep/Rocco Rex (two aliases of the same person.) This name will be important later, which is why I'm mentioning it now. I'll admit, I was a little mad that I was dragged into an admin sit for a mistake. I also noticed that Blep/Rocco Rex had a furry in their profile picture. I made the unwise decision to say in OOC "Man I hate furries," to try and annoy him. I don't feel this way about furries, I'm neutral to them. I was then politely asked by TheJayden to stop with the furry disses, which I complied with. It was then that I told TheJayden to "watch your mouth," "you will be grounded," and "I know you've been using the JUUL," to try and lighten the mood a bit. My name at the time was Gay Dad, so I was roleplaying as a dad. Blep/Rocco Rex then told me in OOC that I would be banned if I kept it up, which seems a bit like impersonation of staff. I also know that this individual used to be a staff member of the server, but has since stepped down to become an admin on another server. I then told him that he wasn't an admin and that he couldn't dictate whether or not I was banned. I then told him to stop acting like an admin because he was not one anymore. At this point, I started ignoring him and moved onto other conversations. After a bit of joking around with the whole "you're grounded thing" to people (who weren't bothered by my RPing), I was told that it was not RP and that I was to stop. I then explained that OOC was a little like a text message from a dad to a kid. TheJayden didn't seem to have any more problems with this. It was then that my friend (who had not been talking in OOC, and was named Gay Dad) and I were brought into an admin sit. (My friend is actually gay, so he didn't see a problem with our names.) TheJayden put us both in jail and told us to change our names, with which we complied. Then, Blep/Rocco Rex, who wasn't even involved with the situation, was brought into the sit, for apparently no reason. After we tried explaining that my friend was actually gay and that this shouldn't have been turned into a sit, we were both gagged and were only able to type. We asked to be ungagged, and my friend was the one who received the ungag. Rocco/Blep then tried to say that we were minging, and that we had been in multiple sits throughout the night. We had only been on for about 20 minutes, so we must have been doing something super bad to have been involved with multiple sits. That was a complete lie. Because Rocco was playing the minge card, even though we were actually roleplaying and enjoying our time, I said "So is having fun considered minging now?" He then replied with a bunch of gobbledygook and tried to get the admin (who was his friend) on his side. Jay had been in the situation for some time and was also dealing with another sit, which Rocco was trying to take for Jay. Rocco seemed to be making all of the decisions, but he wasn't an admin! I then made a comment about favoritism and double standards. Rocco ignored some of what I said but then made the comment "I'm not necessarily friends with [TheJayden], remember that one time I arrested [TheJayden] like twenty times in one night?" Some more conversation happened, I was being a little disrespectful in OOC, but rightfully so. My friend was not being disrespectful at all and was trying to reason with the admins normally. We both then asked the admins to please remove Rocco from the sit, as he wasn't even involved with the situation in the slightest. Rocco then said, "He's the admin, he can do what he wants." The admin followed it up with, "Yeah, he won't be leaving the sit." I then said in OOC, "Are you kidding me? If I was in a sit area that I wasn't involved in, I would be banned/warned on the spot! There is clear favoritism and double standards for friends of the admins." I then followed it up with, "Aren't the admins supposed to treat EVERYONE fairly, no matter if they are friends or randoms?" Rocco then told the admin to mute us to keep us from speaking the truth any farther. The admin followed his command, almost as if Rocco was calling all of the shots (which he basically was.) Rocco then told the admins what to ban us for a bunch of stuff (some of which wasn't true), which by the way, he mixed up the bans between us. I was given a ban for RDM, which I never committed. The ban was only for an hour, which I could care less to dispute. What I am trying to say here is that there is clear favoritism between the admins, and there are many double standards (at least on PoliceRP.) The cops abuse double standards more than the admins do. I was in a sit with an admin and a cop for being wrongly arrested for complicated reasons. I was then told by the admin that I had to make a specific advert when I had to fix my car to show that I was not breaking the law. (Leaving a lot out due to it being complicated.) I was then arrested about 20 minutes later as well as being jailed for the very reason I was before, except this time I had made the advert which I was told would stop me from being arrested and jailed. I explained this to the officer, and he told me that he didn't care what the admins said and that I was being jailed regardless. I called an admin, which didn't claim the sit until about 20 minutes after I was out of jail. I explained it to him, but could not remember the name of the admin who had told me it. He then said, "You'll have to move this to the forums if you want anything done. I can't help you if the admin isn't on/you can't remember his name." The cop was able to get out of it due to the admin logging off. So we have to follow the admins but the cops don't? Also, I have seen MANY cops driving worse than I do, and have been rammed by several. I call an admin about it, but the cop miraculously gets out of trouble every time. I have enjoyed my time on this server, but am starting to feel anxious about even playing on it. I have seen this same type of favoritism/double standard on various Gaminglight servers. Something needs to change, and I'm not really sure what. I'm not saying to fire anybody, but something needs to change with the system to prevent these kinds of situations. I know this was a lot, but this is very important to me and many others I have talked to. Thank you for reading, if you would like to PEACFULLY discuss this in the comments, that would be great. I have made a staff report/unban appeal in the past, to which I was harassed by 10+ staff members. It got to the point where the head of staff locked the chat to stop all of it. I really don't want that to happen again. Thank you, Duff P.S. No, I don't have any evidence of this recent situation, I really don't even care if Jay and TheJayden get in trouble or not for this. I want to make a point, and also bring this to the attention of the higher-ups. To the higher-ups, I would keep a close eye on your servers and staff, as many of these situations could clearly be stopped/discovered if monitoring was in place. EDIT: This was removed from staff reports so I'm moving it here

Dude this is fucked..You can't ban somebody for a "threat" when it isn't even a threat. He didn't say he was going to hack the server... He claimed he did with no proof to back it up. I can see how a threat can be a reason for a permanent ban, as you don't know when the person could potentially hack the server. But he claimed that he did that very moment, which was proved to be false. I don't know why this whole thing is getting blown out of proportions when the whole thing is already dealt with and over... I think he should get AT MOST a few week ban. You know he didn't hack the server and there's evidence to back it up, and he didn't threaten to do it in the future.

Read my previous replies and you will have your answer to that.

Did you even read my reply to Calamity? Honest to God show some respect and I'll show you some back. Calamity showed me respect and he clarified things without making fun of me, yelling at me, or teasing me. I also said I didn't expect the video to be accepted and I'm done wasting my time on this stupid unban. How do you know? You didn't edit the video bud...

At certain points I had to because we were both talking at the same time. Everything I said in-game is left unedited and uncut.

Everything that was listed as a part of the story in my post and Willy's is included in this video. My friend had nothing to do with the incident and would like to stay out of it. I did all of the editing because of his request.

Your voice and name are both in it... It is a friend who's voice and name he did not want me to show

My friend was in a Discord call with me during the recording of the video. He did not consent to being in the video and requested that I blur his name and mute his voice throughout the video. I did my best to keep anything important still in the video while still respecting his privacy. Video link: (If you're watching it right after I posted it will bad bad quality since it's still processing)

Calamity since you are showing me some respect, I will show you some in return. I understand why I was banned now. You clarified things without screaming at me or making fun of me like the rest did. I will still upload the video, but as of now I do not expect it to be accepted. I apologize for all the trouble I caused and will try my best in the future to never do it again.
