Oh my people chill. It is a game not real stuff, sanctions or not well it happens even by mistake.
A while ago Agmen made mistake, I used it to made a faction and then got the half members sanctionated by the rest of the Admin team, Agmen apologised the faction disbanded and all are still around without any problems ,flame and rage. A month ago some kind took 800 mill loan from me, the admins found that he might already scrammed other guy so he took his ships and credits...
I offered him other 50 mill to start over, it is much better then rage around.Now we will see if he would give anything back.
Admins are people, people make mistakes it happens.
I help the others while I can and I will.

Well, in this I rather understand the OP's feelings.
Here the "game" stuff comes quite close to the "real" stuff. If the game is the only enjoyable social experience for someone, without a ready chance to get another, a 21 day ban can be a serious blow in a very real sense.

If this game starts to be a substitute for life, there are real issues to be taken charge of. For anyone.

No, substitute. I know about prosthesises. Comes with an orthopedists profession.
And I fixed my post above: cut out "charge", inserted "care"
<strike>(And while a game may be part of life for some, life might be a game for others; a game is never life.
You can't fix other people anyway, they have to adapt to whatever is necessary, or find another niche.</strike>)
And thanks furthermore, I am quite familiar with post 14 and don't see much of an issue there.

' Wrote:I hereby propose a court of review for sanctions, for cases like this. The court must be comprised of at least three faction leaders, not connected with the case, and not admins. referral to Sanction Appeals is not a given right, and is akin to a judicidal review - i.e. the case must needs be borderline, and your just not going to get one for swearing, even if you have tourette's.
I thought Tourette's was verbal only?
For helping out others...It's meh.I tried it.I ended up with lame results.Usually the people you help turn out to be ingrates.
As for "why bother"? Don't. Simple. Most people who come to the server have already played disco -somewhere- and just go make a living themselves.
Sucks to be a weight on the wrong side of the brilliance-insanity scale.

As said by you directly, most. Not all. And some people don't understand role-play straight off the bat. Especially 14 year old, and sometimes some 14 year old autistic kid. A little compassion for new people, new to role-playing. Saying that 'people should just know' before playing is saying that a kid must 'act like an adult before he can do anything', with out opportunity to learn.
There is a lesson here. Whether people choose to accept and learn, or to babble and whine, the bottom line is, this kid got dealt a hard blow. Maybe he deserved it, but just ask yourself; "Were you as good as you are now as you were at 14 years old?"
I've learnt my lesson, perhaps some of you should reflect and think about what lessons you have learnt, and not pull the 'I'm better then them because I don't do anything wrong' line. It's sickening and ignorant, and worst of all, very bloody selfish. Regardless of this incident, I will still engage in assisting new players as I enjoy the different personalities this server holds. And to encourage and assist new players to act accordingly to server policies as well as helping them find their place, should be very prominent in every veteran players mind. We were all here once, too.
(Remember, these are my opinions, not facts nor a direct attack on anyone.)
Respect is earned Altejago. If your first encounter with this 14 year old kid consists of:
Pirate: Hi there little freighter captain. Cut your engines a sec will ya? We need ta chat.
Freighter kid: (systemwide) Omg why u drop lane?
Pirate: Us folks need to eat too and all. But tell ye what, smallfry. I'll go easy on ye. Pay me 50.000 and ye'r free ta go. Wouldn't recommend runnin'.
Freighter kid: (systemwide) Why? *and hits cruise*
Pirate: *fires TCD* Again, wouldn't recommend it.
Freighter kid: (systemwide) Omg why u attack? *and shoots the pirate with freighter turrets*
Pirate: Bad move lad. *zappage with bomber pulseguns, followed by a SNAC, and a blue message*
Freighter kid: (systemwide) <lots of assorted cussing>
This kind of behaviour is simply... not acceptable on Disco, from anyone, regardless of mental state. If you're incapable of interacting properly (which autism can cause) you can't fulfill the Disco roleplay requirement either.
That said, for folks that will actually benefit from a few pointers - I'll gladly offer a bit of assistance, for the reason that Spazzy pointed out: Because you can.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
Mostly retired Discovery member. May still visit from time to time.
Again, I must point out that I am not defending his actions. Nor am I seeking to reason why he done what ever it was he did.
The bottom line of that post was the frustration with administration for shutting me out when all I was doing was trying to help this kid. I had only heard this guys side of the story when I spoke up for him. I requested evidence, as did he, so I could see for myself what was going on. My intent was to help him understand what it was that he did and said that was unacceptable. I explained what I had heard, and sadly it was one sided as no one was able to show me the crime.
Just give up on it guys, this post was merely pointing out my personal frustrations at a circumstance that occurred, and now it appears to have turned into a fiasco.
My apologies for the waste of time. This kid isn't playing the game any more, I've moved on from this and no longer speak with him.
Apologies again to the admins. I still disagree with a decision or two, but those are my opinions. My rant is over and like a big boy I have forgotten the ordeal and am continuing doing what I do.
And Aeternus Doleo, again, I know exactly the conduct that is and isn't tolerated on this server. Thank you for pointing it out to me, Captain Obvious
