From what I gather, people are lawyering/badgering people about the rules of the server and use them to effectively blackmail or force people to do what they want so they don't report them.
This HAS TO BLOODY STOP. We as a community WANT more people to join, new people join and are usually unaware of the rules, I went there, I mean I followed Mon'Star in a goddarn Starflier and taking his Cruiser Commander loot for money on my first day here. And I didn't know a darn thing about RP. Now look at me.
I believe I have evolved into a decent RP'er and I pray a good member of the Discovery community.
I have reported a few people for simple mistakes without talking to them, I kinda regret that. Some people even use them to 'force' them to do things I hear on the horn.
Members of Discovery I ask you, please, give people the benefit of the doubt and let them 'merge' into the community before you ban them by reporting them. I am lucky to get this far.
Message them about it BUT DO NOT BE HOSTILE ABOUT IT!!! We can't afford to push people away in the evolving gaming community, there are new games slowly sapping our members away and EVERY NEW MEMBER must be treated with respect an patience. Shouting at them for breaking the law is just a bit forgive me, total jackassary.
We are not a police server, we are an RP server. Respect that or go play Halo 2.
Sigh, I hope this message rings throughout Discovery.
EDIT: In case you are wondering I am NOT A VETERAN of this server, I still consider myself a newbie on here, despite my somewhat 'large' post count.
I know some people deserve to be banned, like modders and jackasses on the system chat, but by purely banning them outright we may be pushing away real good contributors to the community.
I think we are slowly becoming a Closed Society. Not completely but in the way some people handle the rule side of the server. Let them merge into the server before banning I beg of you.
