CollaideThat''s a fair response.
Not trying to dig up dirt really, but if I wanted I could find instances in the last year of all types of players saying slurs in pugs. (And let's not even talk about the ones being said in mumble with no permanent record.)
It's just interesting to see that the people that are your friends or other admin's friends tend to get banned less, like tomas who I know for a fact has said the n word with a hard r like 10+ times in the past year, and his mumble name in pugs still being "n-word".
Just for pure transparency, I'll walk you through the process of which I give out restrictions in pugs: Like I mentioned earlier in this thread, I am very liberal about most bans in general and I really only ban people for using slurs maliciously. For example, If a 3AM pug turns into an offclass shitshow I don't really deem it worth banning the 8/12 people that offclassed in that game.
People love to talk about how alot of players extend offclass limits and don't get banned but in my experience, I rarely have anyone come to me and actually report someone for offclassing. One thing that is relevant to this though is that I deem context very important in every ban so usually I will hold off on banning someone if they haven't been reported for it unless in the case of offclassing where I'm in the actual game and witness someone offclassing over the allowed time.
I'm not trying to dispute the claim that tomas has said the hard r in pugs but like I said before, if someone reports it, and sends me a screencap/video/etc I won't hesitate to give out a ban for it. The problem is that NO ONE reports anything. Maybe it all goes to counou or nasboii, maybe it doesn't but I can only speak for myself and say that the less you report, the less people get banned. About tomas' name in mumble, he's been registered in the pug mumble for over 2 years and I'm unable to change it because I don't have mumble admin and getting it changed hasn't been my top priority but ofcourse I could've been pushing for it more.
If you want to consider the tomas' case (even with provided context) an outliar when it comes to my friends being banned less I can give you that but I still don't agree that I cherrypick who gets banned or not. If anything my friends get banned MORE on the site and the same goes for counou, ask nubbi, gaz or nasboii and they can all tell you the amount of times in the last month that counou has banned any of them.
