(sorry for the length but this is important point about how admins can lose donations by abusing their position. I hope your read and reply because your answers may sway me to donate even after the incident)
I am not here to name names or point fingers. I have been playing DoD since back in the days of having when you could have Gehwer 43 and everybody loved playing the Wal-mart map.
Over the years I have never been a clan guy but have often and generously donated to servers who seemed to really give damn and had that niche group of players. The most important being the server has to have fair admins. Most recently I have been a donation whore to Battlegrounds.org 24/7 Anzio Server and Donner 24?7 before the admins became ghosts and the quality of players went down. Before that I think it was Absinthe DoD 4-towers server and clan(one of the best admin groups I had ever played with). I recently found Blitzkrieg Whores clan and was immediately happy with the level of admin fairness and banning for racism, something I wish was done more. This server gave reinvigorated my love DoD for the past three weeks to the point where I had looked up how donation worked on your site and was happy to see paypal and Visa as easy options to help keep your server running.
However, well playing that same night well considering how much to donate I ran into a real jerk of an admin. I got made into beacon and asked why this had occurred to which the only response was to slay me. I had committed no rule violations that I could tell by the MOTD but after asking why I had been slain for asking. I was only ignored. All in all this isn't to big of a deal and I was prepared to just consider this some abusive admin. A few minutes later the members/admins began talking about bans and because of my recent issue I had to know what they were banning this guy for to make sure it wasn't anything related to my earlier beacon and slain incident. After i inquired numerous times I finally got a response. However, instead of a simple answer of what he did. I got told to shut fuck and mind my own business and that my questioning doesn't mean shit. Mind you, I was not using a mic but typing out the questions.(I feel over use of the mic is less serious then a mature typed question repeated to to make sure it is seen.) He went on to note that he had seen my earlier inquiries and didn't care. to top it off he actually ranted calling a few irrelevant names and belittled my reasoning.
Now, I was ticked off enough to decide maybe I should hold off for a while on donating to this clan. I still like your server and hope that this was just a bad experience that will be rectified by making sure our admins aren't abusing their position and costing you donations. For now I hope you took the time to read this as I spent a great deal of time composing it.
Sincerely
