The Abusive Admin

Everyone has been on a server where there is an admin whose logical sense of thinking is slightly flawed. They tend to ban people if they displease them in any way even if something a player does is not against the server rules. This is exactly what happened to me.

I was playing casually on a factions/mcmmo server and generally having a great time. My friend and I where in the same party and we where using the insta-tp with /ptp (player). We eventually conned a person from the admin's faction into joining our party and I instantly ptped to him and got into their faction base. It was situated in the end with an enderman grinder and the portal to it had been conveniently destroyed. So I set my home and was off. I was called a hacker for ptping and was told to unset my home. I thought to myself "Well that isn't fair. I worked my way there I should get to do some raiding." And that I did. I hit the faction and they where left scrabbling but they had 12 members and only two where online so the damage was minimal. The aftermath came and the owner of the faction (admin) came online. He told me to unset my home because ptping was not allowed. I was bamboozled. How can a part of a plugin be banned when it can be easily disabled when configured? The admin claimed he had said that ptping was not allowed about a month ago in chat and I was to have abided by his order. I didn't even see him type that. He had no proof so I was adamant about my position to keep my home where is was. After a lot of arguing he banned me. He banned me for using one of the plugins on his server. The no ptping rule was not in /rules or in the spawn rules so I guessed it would be alright but I thought wrong. Banned. Banned. Banned.

So the moral of this story is to never do anything on a server because somewhere along the line an admin probably said it was illegal and punishable by a ban even though you didn't see it (joking).
