SWAG has pissed you all off and SWAG apologises. SWAG has felt inclined to introspect and repent his sins. Forgive SWAG.

Thank you!

Bud, you're never out of chances, unless, you actually threaten a member or visitor in real life! That's pretty much the no-go barrier. In fact, between you and me *cough*, one of our high ranked members was once a person who attacked the server with hacking tools - but he matured, re-joined the clan, and worked his way up. I only say this so you understand our policies.

I will state though, this is a game server. It's whole purpose of being, it's raison d'être is to provide fun for visitors and members alike - with one caveat: it is to be fun with people, not at their expense. If anyone is made to feel uncomfortable we will act decisively. I could go on but instead I recommend please to read this post entitled "Freedom of Speech": -

I only mention this as your ban was abusing that freedom.

Maybe there's something troubling you in real-life so that whaling on others here empowers you, but it won't help in the long run, here or there.

If you can say you'll behave within our rather flexible requirements, we are happy to let you back on. I'd also post that pm you sent me with your permission as it shows your depth - also because some of my statements here are in response to that!

Thank you for that, Jawfin! Much appreciated. I will definitely follow the rules more carefully this time. And yes I am happy for you to post the PM Cheers.

Ok then, ban lifted - but be aware of our level of tolerance. A ban is simply admin-action when no admin can be on, and done on a person we feel we cannot trust (or on Jato, just for a giggle).

SWAG's pm to me, for no other reason than because he let me: -

Hey Jawfin,

I have a nagging suspicion that I am perhaps out of chances now. I acted stupidly and immaturely - in blatant disregard of how generous you and your admins were in granting me opportunities to correct my behaviour in the game. I scouted around JKA just now trying to find servers and there seems to be none that can compete with KR.

Failing an opportunity to play at KR any longer, I will decide to quit JKA once and for all having returned after around 7 years or longer. I just wanted to make a few comments about KR before leaving, and I make this sincerely without any ulterior motives.

1. Your clan is absolutely the most united and holistically great clan I have come across in all my years playing the game. I have been scouting through a ton of your forum posts now and I liked where you said your motto was to have fun, and not be 1337 players bent on world domination. Having been a part of clans such as Unorthodox etc. that were the opposite of KR, I leave this game having felt that I missed out immensely during my earlier years playing the game. Congratulations on being a part of the leadership of such an outstanding clan.

2. The exercise of discretionary power by any single KR admin was responsible, diligent and proportionate. I cannot tell you how impressed I am at the professional nature of the members of your firm. I found it fascinating that the treatment of players is routine and uniformly exercised by every single KR admin.

3. That KR is perhaps the one thriving server in a game over a decade old, and that you have lines of people wanting to be members in this day and age is telling that KR will probably go down as the most enduring and successful clan in the game. I got into this game again after feeling somewhat nostalgic having played daily many years ago, and it rocked my world seeing people like you still at it. Coming back for a taste was one of the best decisions I've made.

In closing, I just want to say a big thank you to you - for being so proactive on these forums, and for being so kind and humble despite having the discretion to ban people.

I guess I decided to write this post not because I wanted to convince you to unban me, but because I feel that this compliment and closing note is due to you for being so generous and awarding me tons of second (and umpteenth) chances.

I wish you and KR all the best I'll definitely pop by the forums from time to time to check up on how you all are doing. I hope I haven't caused any lasting offence to anyone.

Take care Jawfin!
