Bans due to old images? Allowed/Not? Clarification

First off
I'm not here to complain about how I'm banned, I'll serve my ban I just want to clarify some things before this becomes a habit to people cause I've started to notice it more and more often.
Okay, so some of you may know me, my IGN is workaholic and yes I've been toxic as flipping bobs saggets recently.

So, recently I was banned for 3 days for saying "n***a" to someone in all chat. Kind of petty since it was my supposed 'friend' who reported me. Love you too.... I served that ban in peace. 3 days no big deal. So after that I calmed down and etc.

2 weeks later, everything is nice and peaceful, I come back from work it's like 7pm and I come to find out i'm banned. I'm like

Spoiler

So i contact someone and he says I'm banned due to saying n***a again on that same day. I'm like I literally just walked through the door and I've been afk all day so how is that even possible.


The problem was, that screen shot was about 2+ weeks old and he reported me 2+ weeks later?(On the day i got banned)? I don't think that's even remotely fair.... If he has time to take a screen shot why does he not report me right away?



Now that I've served two bans and will not say it anymore, do i have to worry another screenshot will get posted from my past, landing me a permanant ban even though i've learned my lesson twice over now?



TLDR
So I want to know, why are old screen shots allowed to be used to ban someone or get someone banned? It's basically saying, I can get called something, screen shot it. Wait 2+ weeks report them and they'll get banned? Just because I feel petty as flip. The rules on reporting with a screen shot seem a bit off, 1) there is a screen shot of you saying something bad, 2 there is no time stamp when it happened so you can just say it's whenever or the same day or whenever you're pissed off at someone.


I'm not asking to be unbanned, I just want to clarify the rules on reporting someone with a old screen shot as some people are doing now.



Sorry for all the spelling and grammatical mistake. English is my second language.

 

I mean if you committed the offense, it doesn’t matter when it happened because you still did it, right?

This is like saying “I served my time in prison for auto theft but after I got out, an informant in prison told cops I robbed a bank before stealing the car and they found evidence that I did.”

To me it is entirely fair since it doesn’t matter in what order you committed or the offense was reported, it’s the fact that you did in the first place.

 

What ?!
How that's not fair exactly ? It's breaking the rules what we are talking here , so it's not fair since you were lucky not getting reported / caught when you first committed it but only now ?
when you chose to break the rules in the first place (for whatever reasonable reason ) you took into consideration the fact you might get caught , what eventually happened.
I don't even know how to explain how morally wrong this thread is lol

 

Wait, so are you saying that you got banned twice for one offense? Or banned twice for the same repeated offense?

 

Based on his wording, i'm reading that he was reported for the same reason, but two different instances, from the same day. So he said it twice openly, and two people reported him, serving a double ban.

[Edit] I totally believe this is ok, too. I don't understand the need or want to use the word.

 

Lol if it's repeated offense then I hope his ban period is longer this time.

 

I'm saying, you shouldn't be able to take a screen shot, wait a few weeks then report someone. I'm not complaining that I'm banned I'm pissed that the screen shot that's being used is over two weeks old and just being used now


If that's the case John, I can take a bunch of screen shots, wait till I feel petty let's say 2 months.... report people and they'll get banned and that's fair?

 

It might've been reported earlier, and only just acted on by the admins btw.

For what it's worth, I'd agree that if you get banned for a specific offense, if it's later realized that you committed the offense prior to the 1st ban, I don't think you should be banned as if it's a second offense. At least not for minor infractions and whatnot...

 

I know I was banned the day I was reported so no one can say oh maybe you were reported earlier and gms got to late

 

How do you know when you were reported? Did the person tell you they were going to report you for something that had happened a number of weeks ago?

 

How do you know you were reported 2 weeks after? Maybe the gms replied to that report 2 weeks later and that’s being lucky. I have reported players that were dealt with 2 months after, so 2 weeks for your report, consider yourself lucky.

 

That's not the point in the first place my point was about using old screen shots and reporting people at a later day if it's allowed or not. I don't really care that I'm banned anymore


And Karlos, my first van was for something more recent then my second ban.. so shouldn't they go to older reports before newer ones?

 

Lmao according to your logic Harvey Weinstein shouldn't be held responsible for his rape and sexual harassment accusations because it all happened in the past and it's 2017 now.

Flawless logic m8.

 

.


One you're taking a game way to seriously, considering rape and saying the word n***a are on two different spectrums.

Two my logic isn't flawed I'm asking a question on if it's allowed or not that's it



But judging from everyone's responses, looks like I can screen shot someone saying the n bomb. Wait 4 months when I wanna get them banned. Then report them then.


That's all I wanted to know

 

Yes but shit happens you know. I know from experience some reports take longer than other no Mather how old they are. Sometimes my newest reports gets answered sooner than the olders. I just feel like the second report may have been dealt with way later :3

 

Don't get me wrong, I don't care I'll serve the ban. I just wanted my question answered...


Means it's answered, now I can just save screen shots till I feel like a dick be it one month, two weeks, one day whatever timeframe I feel like and then report him

 

Don’t get me wrong. I always report immediately and don’t save the screenshots. What I meant is that sometimes even if you reported awhile ago, it make take weeks for the GMs to get to your report and take actions. For example I reported a player back in August I believe for objectionable behavior and his ban and response to the thread was issued 2 months after.

 

That's fine, I don't mind them taking actions weeks later if the report was done right away. I'm not complaining about that.

I'm asking if you save screen shots and use them at a later date is that allowed, you're all just going to the fact that oh you were reported earlier and now you're being banned for it


I really don't care that I was banned and I'll serve the ban, as I said I was toxic then and I'm reformedish

Ultimately I got my answer tho, and its yes. Cause if we're treating this game like life and etc, means I can use old pictures and report people and they'll get punished
