Admin Notice: Player sanctioned

[Cannon]

USS.Gatlenburg has been sanctioned due to a report posted on July 18 for :

5.6 If a player engages cruise engine or docks with a station, jump gate, or trade lane during a PvP fight, this player has fled the fight. The fleeing player must leave the system and may not re-enter the system where the fight took place with any of the characters on his/her account(s) while the enemy (player or players involved in the fight) remain in the system until four hours have passed from the time the fight ended.
Using cruise engines to catch up with those capable of thrusting at higher speed than you is not allowed. Trade lanes may be used to pursue or catch up to other ships under any circumstances, even if the other ship has not yet fled as described above.
The fleeing player can fight in self-defense if attacked again while attempting to leave the system after fleeing.

Consequences :

Loss of all guns.

Comments / Instructions :

You are not allowed to use your cruise engine during a battle. When you engage it you were deemed to have fled to battle and so when you attacked the fighter in your battlecruiser you broke the re-engagement rule.

Read the complete server rules and before anyone else posts here, read this.

May I ask what happens when leaving the system and you are re-attacked by same members...can you defend or do you just have to let them kill you again?

I have no choice but to accept the sanction (disputing it always ends up totally pointless...overturning the reports never happens). I do not deny that I had to reluctanlty re-engage on one occasion and I believe because the player lost a slanted issue exists.

Where one defends himself, the result ends up in me being sanctioned because the player might have wanted to get his own back on me so used the rules to his advantage...this has happened on more than one occasion with various players... Eitherway I get penilised and lose out regardless...

I would add that I could have submitted loads of sanction reports for rule breakers I have observed but I'd never leave the forum for typing them up.... I have seen players with more than one ID, those refusing to leave the system after dying despite requests, purposeful bumping of caps in a fight to down shields, those swearing/abusing others, etc... I have better things to do than be petty and unforgiving, but even though I found it annoying, it is just a game after all.... Admin do what they can but often have no choice but to go on the word of others...

Oh well so be it... However it makes one think that though being honest clearly does not pay, maybe others should start using the rules to ones own advantage too like others (its not really a pleasant thought is it?).

I think you're thinking about a different situation. I'll PM you and we can discuss what happened.
