So TLDR everyone here is an asshole and our server is going to die because hackers ddos us into the ground and we're not allowed to have a thread on the forums. Our admin is banned for a week, he CANT update the one that is still open.

There is nothing stopping you from posting an update in the thread that is still open.
Indicate in your post that the OP will be updated when the original poster gets out of ban jail. (teamwork, man)

I usually dig on the Rust drama, but you are making this larger than it needs to be.

The DDoS is annoying, but it's probably costing those kids some cash to do it. They will stop eventually.

The posting thing is just a matter of reading the rules.

It's going to be OK.

Only Gold Members can see this thread (because we can read, but not reply to, Refugee Camp threads), but would it have hurt to explain all of what we said in this thread to pflame before sending him to the RC to appeal his ban?

Because he is very literally repeating half of the same arguments you made, and postal is explaining pretty much exactly the same thing we explained to you.

He also got mad at the fact that Golds were rating him; he thought they were mods ignoring him except to click dumb and funny.

Facepunch isn't like other forums on the net. It's been running for about 10 years, has >45,000 active users, and has had something like 25 million posts. The rules we have work well, but they're not the rules you'd find on an average forum.

They're also enforced fairly strictly in order to teach you to become a better poster and to not break said rules. If you can't cope and become a better poster, you're not going to last.

We run a fantastic server, but we've recently been suffering from mass DDoSing every night because the hackers we've banned are really pissed. They started making posts to promote our server in the Rust Server thread to get all of our posts banned and locked for spam.

Yeah this never happened. The only duplicate thread for your server I see is one a friend of yours made that you kept bumping...

New servers with new IPs isn't changing a setting.

The IP didn't change at all between the duplicate threads you made.

(User was permabanned for this post ("alt of Pflame" - postal))

Why are you talking about yourself in the third person
