Banned for harassment, a blatant disregard for rules, inappropriate chat, and purposefully killing multiple passive dinos. There were also allegations that Flappy was riding a passive wyvern, shooting at people/dinos, and then jumping off to bait the victims into killing the passive dino.
Upon investigation I found a passive wyvern belonging to Flappy outside of the victim's base within render distance on the other side of a river.

Flaps forum account banned after admitting he used an alternate account to evade his previous ban under the name DenJoe.
Gamerstieno1 [141.134.62.113] - Banned from the forums, IP banned, and option for ban appeal rescinded. For disrespect towards the community and staff members and continued attacks against the HappyDiggers community. Bases on Ark will be admin wiped.
Flaps (Using fake account "Progamer.192") [109.134.77.40] - New account banned from the forums for the same reasons along with evading a ban once again.
I know you're both going to read this Gamerstien1 and Flaps. Here's an idea, how about you both grow up and move on. You've been banned for your piss poor attitude toward the community and other players. You're NEVER going to be allowed to play on HappyDiggers ever again. Any time you try to evade your bans will be short lived. We'll always be there to ban you.
Player banned for needlessly killing dinos in an offline raid. The player was going around raiding many tribes for "fun" and I witnessed him place C4 charges at the feet of a group of dinos in Farid tribe. The dinos weren't moving, and they didn't attack on sight. Arkerino blew up the dinos and then started blowing his way into the base. The dinos he blew up didn't react to him running around 2 feet next to them prior to the explosion. That means they were either passive with no protection or they were neutral and hadn't been triggered by an attack. Arkerino blew them up with C4 without testing them at all or trying to find a way to keep the maximum amount of tames alive. One wolf survived and tried to attack meaning they were on neutral. Purposefully and needlessly killing dinos for the sake of killing is akin to wiping. We've always stressed in raiding on HappyDiggers you "Bust in, get what you want, and get out.".
Joanita (Ruby) [76561198716268318] - Arkerino's alternate account is also banned. This was the account used and documented in performing the events that led to the ban. Arkerino is the main account.

[13:55:29] Jiro (Onyx): You'll want 50+ levels per stat
[13:55:53] Pizzzzzzzzzzzzza (Pizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzza): brb.
[13:55:59] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): how do you mean?
[13:57:15] Jiro (Onyx): Wild dinos have levels in their stats randomly assorted. When you tame it those bonus levels are, again, randomly assorted into the stats. What it comes out with becomes the base stats used for breeding. You're going to want to keep taming 232/240 dinos until you get the stat distributions needed to breed high distribution dinos for bossing
[13:57:57] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): yea, but we are not (yet) looking into those SUPER rexes yet
[13:58:07] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): We are trying to get a good group of dinos for easy broodmother
[13:58:33] Jiro (Onyx): Oh, well shouldn't be too bad then
[13:59:03] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): You tested it right? Can you maybe give an indication what you need for easy broodmother?
[14:00:17] Jiro (Onyx): No can do, I balanced it so that each tier of boss was beatable based on the difficulty. You'll have to try it and find out, there still has to be an unknown element when fighting bosses ;)
[14:01:13] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): But there are like 1000+ guides on the internet, but we dont know how you guys have set the parameters
[14:01:59] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): and this does actually mean you and epi have an unfair advantage compared to us, because we dont know anything about the bosses and you and epi know exactly what you do need
[14:02:19] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): wait
[14:02:23] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): epi is a normal player
[14:02:35] Jiro (Onyx): The only thing available to admins is changing the time, resistance, and damage output of the boss. Time is pointless now that bosses were increased in difficulty 10 fold, so that's not a factor as you'll be dead before time runs out. Damage output was nerfed in the last dev pass so you don't get 1 shot every 5 seconds, and resistance changes how much damage the bosses take
[14:02:39] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): he puts in hard work to do that
[14:03:03] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): He tested it with Jiro and therefor has more intel than other players do have
[14:03:09] Jiro (Onyx): As have I. I've farmed the bosses for over a year. I have a good idea on how hard the bosses should be.
[14:03:29] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): me and pizza did also that already
[14:03:41] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): 19 rexes 1 yuty
[14:03:47] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I agree with you balancing the bosses, but not giving the info to other players is in my eyes unfair, its gives you an unfair advantage compared to others
[14:03:49] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): broodmother hard 3 min down
[14:03:49] Jiro (Onyx): If it weren't for Epi, the bosses would be unbeatable. I wasn't going to change them, and let them be what the devs wanted. He convinced me to balance them
[14:04:13] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Again, I dont complain about you guys balancing, I think it is a great job... thank you for that
[14:04:29] Jiro (Onyx): Epi and I also have the means to take down hard bosses, you folks don't
[14:04:51] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): But its unfair that you dont give the other players the info you and Epi have
[14:05:05] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): This means you and Epi got an advantage compared to others
[14:05:45] Jiro (Onyx): And if I told you exactly what you needed, there would be no mystery to bosses. It would be giving away endgame strategies.
[14:06:19] Jiro (Onyx): The strategy to killing the bosses is the same. Hasn't changed. Infact we used what we already knew to balance the bosses. They're entirely balanced based on current strategies.
[14:06:23] W2 SaltyBoy (Saltyboy): does anyone have a light glitch?
[14:07:11] Jiro (Onyx): Me telling people how to do it would be me telling people how to get tek 100% guaranteed. I'm not going to do it. You'll have to play trial and error
[14:07:13] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): But still Jiro, the point I'm trying to make is that you and Epi have an unfair advantage in the intel of taking out bosses
[14:07:53] Jiro (Onyx): We already had the advantage, we've killed the bosses long before these balancing passes happened
[14:07:53] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): You and Epi dont have to play trail and error with the newly changed settings for bosses cause you know exactly how much you need to kill a boss
[14:08:03] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Thats a fair advantage indeed
[14:08:15] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Thats something everybody is able to do
[14:08:25] Jiro (Onyx): And yet, nobody did on HappyDiggers
[14:08:33] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): But not everybody is able to spawn in 20 rexes and try the boss thousands of times
[14:09:27] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I know you have more experience, but I think it is unfair that you guys got info after balancing it, without letting us knhow
[14:10:05] Jiro (Onyx): Anybody who has beaten the bosses previously would be able to beat the bosses now
[14:10:07] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I still think HappyDiggers is great, this is nothing against u personally, I dont want to fight with you , but I mean... Isnt it unfair?
[14:10:31] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Yea, but you and Epi are the only ones who knows what you exactly need, this info isnt available for us
[14:11:01] Jiro (Onyx): You're missing what I'm saying. If you had the means to beat alpha brood pre-dev balancing passes, you can beat it now.
[14:11:25] Jiro (Onyx): You STILL have to work for it, but not any harder than previously
[14:11:49] Jiro (Onyx): And before the devs messed with the bosses again, both Epi and I didn't share our boss rex details. How is now any different?
[14:11:57] Jiro (Onyx): If the bosses take the same stats to beat?
[14:12:21] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): People doing the boss themselves legit is something else than admin spawning in and balancing
[14:12:33] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): And I think it is great that you took the time to balance them
[14:12:53] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): For me the problem is that it gives an unfair advantage to you and Epi, because you guys do know the details
[14:14:00] Jiro (Onyx): And you're once again missing the point. THE SAME REX STATS CAN BE USED. Meaning no changes from pre-change to post-change. You didn't know the details before, you don't know the details now. Nothing has changed
[14:14:02] CptWesley (CptWesley): pre-change is all over the internet though
[14:14:40] Jiro (Onyx): For officials, yes. Not a difficulty 8 server. And that's you relying on the internet to tell you how to do it. Also trying to bypass trial and error.
[14:15:00] CptWesley (CptWesley): well, failing and losing all your dinos kinda sucks
[14:15:04] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): It got easier, okay.. but we dont know how much easier it got, you and Epi do, and you do exactly know which bosses you can beat with what
[14:15:18] Jiro (Onyx): Yes it does! And Epi and I both lost tons of gear, weapons, saddles, rexes trying to do bosses
[14:15:40] CptWesley (CptWesley): which you spawned in anyway, so what does that matter for you?
[14:15:48] Jiro (Onyx): We didn't just magically know how to do bosses. It took months of breeding/trial and error
[14:15:48] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): But now you dont have to anymore because the 2 of you knows everything
[14:16:14] Jiro (Onyx): Fine, don't do bosses. Be a lemon
[14:16:32] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): but now you guys 'magically' do know how to beat them on the new balancing
[14:16:38] CptWesley (CptWesley): the entire point is, that you and epi skipped the entire trial and error phase
[14:16:38] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): bro
[14:16:44] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): only get good rexes
[14:16:48] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): nothing to do
[14:16:58] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): How many?... We just asked
[14:17:02] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): After the balancing
[14:17:04] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): 19
[14:17:08] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): and a yuty
[14:17:12] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): after balance|?
[14:17:14] Jiro (Onyx): We didn't skip anything. Took us months to beat the bosses. The new bosses were impossible. No possible way to beat them.
[14:17:24] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): maybe u dont need thatmuch
[14:17:28] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): again jiro, I think it is great that you balanced them
[14:17:32] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): but take 19 to do max. dmg
[14:17:56] Jiro (Onyx): No, I'm not being pressured to telling you. You'll have to work it out like everyone had to before you
[14:17:58] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): But my main problem is u not sharing the details you now do know after balancing
[14:18:04] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): me and pizza did brood on hard took 3min but we have high dmg and hp rexes and good 250+ armour saddles
[14:18:14] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): But Jiro, for the new system you and Epi dont have to find it out anymore
[14:18:30] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Arkerino, pre-balance or post-balance? :D
[14:18:36] Jiro (Onyx): 1. That was pre-balancing on my part, 2. I know the stats of those rexes.
[14:18:38] Pizzzzzzzzzzzzza (Pizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzza): yesterday
[14:18:44] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): was yesterday
[14:18:44] Pizzzzzzzzzzzzza (Pizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzza): II am back, miss me?
[14:18:50] Jiro (Onyx): Well then get better rexes
[14:18:50] Pizzzzzzzzzzzzza (Pizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzza): ofc you guys did.
[14:18:56] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): lmao fck u
[14:19:00] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): doing this giga alone
[14:19:04] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): haha
[14:20:54] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): but do you understand my point, Jiro?
[14:21:00] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I think it is great that you balanced them
[14:21:00] Pizzzzzzzzzzzzza (Pizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzza): and yeah rex breeding wasnt easy, I spent 3 weeks wiping the spawns over and over and taming every 232+ rex I found
[14:21:08] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): But now you have more info than we do
[14:21:22] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): is it possible to import boss items to import from island server? like spino stuff
[14:21:26] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): And thats not only because of experience, but also because of you balancing the bosses, which is great
[14:21:36] Jiro (Onyx): I'm done talking about it.
[14:21:42] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): but is unfair if you dont want to share it with other
[14:21:44] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): s
[14:22:34] Pizzzzzzzzzzzzza (Pizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzza): I say it is fair, we did broodmother 3 times before we actually figured out the best way,
[14:22:40] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): yea
[14:22:50] CptWesley (CptWesley): the thing is not us not knowing, the thing is jiro knowing
[14:22:52] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): i lost 5 days of sleep in 10 min xD
[14:22:56] CptWesley (CptWesley): thats the entire point we are trying to make
[14:23:22] Pizzzzzzzzzzzzza (Pizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzza): I mean, he still had to waste his dinos to find out how op it was...
[14:23:38] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): During the balancing he spawned in
[14:23:48] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): they did breed
[14:23:54] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): like we
[14:24:02] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): did
[14:25:04] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I mean for the testing it they spawned in
[14:25:28] Pizzzzzzzzzzzzza (Pizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzza): you can also spawn it in singleplayer tho and test it for yourself i am sure.
[14:25:36] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): yea
[14:25:40] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): But not with those hidden modifiers on this server
[14:25:46] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): just pput dificult on 8
[14:25:56] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Arkerino, they manually change dthe values of the boss
[14:26:08] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): so difficulty 8 doesnt say anything anymore
[14:26:14] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): ah
[14:26:34] W2 SaltyBoy (Saltyboy): anyone want a red drop?
[14:26:42] Jiro (Onyx): Which you can also modify in singelplayer. Go ahead and try difficulty 8 bosses with spawned in max level rexes. Go ahead, I'll wait.
[14:26:44] W2 SaltyBoy (Saltyboy): a special one
[14:27:04] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Ah, so we can get the modifiers of the bosses on this server? Then everything is fair again!
[14:27:30] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): are they on the forums page, like all modifiers?
[14:27:36] xBearGryllsx (Arkerino): only 1
[14:28:18] Jiro (Onyx): That could work, since it's not revealing rex stats/saddles/etc. However, with this attack I'm less inclined to do anything atm

2:30 PM - DC3 MatthTheBeast: Sorry for the discussion.
2:30 PM - DC3 MatthTheBeast: I didnt mean to attack you
2:30 PM - Jiro: Wasn't much of a discussion, was mostly you railing me on not spilling the beans
2:31 PM - DC3 MatthTheBeast: I understand that getting to know what you need to do the bosses is something you need to do on yourselves
2:31 PM - DC3 MatthTheBeast: But on the other hand people knowing more than others, is difficult to me.. I mean it is not that big, but it is still something
2:31 PM - DC3 MatthTheBeast: Sorry
2:32 PM - Jiro: Admins will always know more than the players on the server, it's just a given. It's how the admins handle that kind of power that's important.
2:57 PM - DC3 MatthTheBeast: Sorry, once again.. This time I just want to apologize, I really like the fact that you balanced it, and there is no balancing without you knowing how you balanced it
2:58 PM - Jiro: You should probably leave it at that. Playing today has been rather tiring.
2:59 PM - DC3 MatthTheBeast: I dont want to start it again.. I just wanted to apologize
2:59 PM - DC3 MatthTheBeast: After thinking about it I should agree with ur choices
3:00 PM - Jiro: You don't have to agree with my choices. However, if you had a disagreement with something please take it onto the forum. That's what the forum is for.
3:01 PM - DC3 MatthTheBeast: I feel bad for you if I post this on the forum, I mean, on the forum it feels more like an attack, and if I post this on the forum without communicating to you first it even feels like a backstab?
3:02 PM - Jiro: Anybody is free to post suggestions, opinions, etc on the forum for civil discussion
3:03 PM - DC3 MatthTheBeast: But at this moment, how do you think about posting the modifiers of the bosses on the forum?
3:03 PM - Jiro: At this moment I am frustrated and will think about it when I'm a little less agitated
3:04 PM - DC3 MatthTheBeast: Are you frustrated because of me?
3:04 PM - Jiro: I think it's best you let it be for a while.
3:06 PM - DC3 MatthTheBeast: So no info on modifiers soon?

[15:34:24] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I did some work, but arkerino and pizza did most
[15:35:20] Jiro (Onyx): You're in their tribe though, you're a spokesperson for the tribe just as much as they are. Any actions you take are actions Pizza is responsible as your tribe leader. And it's all under your tribe name
[15:35:38] Jiro (Onyx): I've made that very clear to Pizza
[15:36:12] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I know, I did read that, because you disliked me and I joined Pizza tribe, you said that Finding Pizza was responsible for everything I would do wrong
[15:37:06] Jiro (Onyx): Actually that was about Arkerino. He's been up to no good for much longer than you've even been on the server
[15:37:34] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): You mentioned my name at the beginning of that conversation
[15:37:38] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): So it was about me
[15:38:10] Jiro (Onyx): Doesn't matter, point still stands. You're in pizza tribe. Things you say are part of pizza tribe. If Epi did something, that would fall on my tribe.
[15:38:50] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): But in that case it is not fair you said it was about Arkerino while it was clearly about me
[15:39:02] Jiro (Onyx): It was about all of you.
[15:39:38] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Why you lie and pretend it was about arkerino?
[15:39:46] Jiro (Onyx): Are you serious right now?
[15:40:08] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): how do you mean that?
[15:40:34] Jiro (Onyx): Calling me a liar? Are you serious? You're being childish
[15:41:20] Jiro (Onyx): You need to stop talking and take a chill pill before you do something you'll regret again.
[15:41:42] Jiro (Onyx): And I mean that in a serious, non condensending tone.
[15:43:16] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): You said it was all about arkerino, then I say I did read this conversation and then suddenly you say it was about me?
[15:44:13] Jiro (Onyx): I've talked to pizza at great lengths about Arkerino. Much, much more than about you. It's not all about you. It doesn't even matter. Why does it matter?
[15:45:51] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I just mentioned your warning to pizza about responsibility of the tribe and you said, 'that was about arkerino'
[15:46:19] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): And then I said, I did read about it, and then you say 'It was all about you'
[15:46:22] Dourne (Dourne): i'd just stop talking
[15:46:54] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): 'It was about arkerino/ It was all about you' can't both be true at the same time
[15:47:07] Jiro (Onyx): What's your endgame? What are you trying to do here? What do you hope to accomplish?
[15:47:37] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I just asked you a question because you were suprised that I said that you might have lied
[15:47:54] Jiro (Onyx): No, you said I did lie. You didn't say "might"
[15:48:02] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Both of these can't be true at the same time, you told me both...
[15:48:14] Dourne (Dourne): i didnt see it
[15:48:14] knoen (knoen): chill guys
[15:48:35] VIking (Jesse): Lets just keep it in a nice and friendly mood :D
[15:49:12] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I didnt call you a liar... I asked why you would lie
[15:49:31] W2 SaltyBoy (Saltyboy): i agree to jesse
[15:50:03] Jiro (Onyx): You need to stop now or this will escalate to something you can't say sorry to me for again.
[15:51:04] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I can keep talking with you, when Im operating within the borders of the happydigger rules
[15:51:32] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): And if you suddenly want to stop talking about this case, then it's a sign to all other players here on happydiggers
[15:51:50] Jiro (Onyx): You know that new rule we have? The one the owner had us put in BECAUSE of the way you act to me? The "Do not annoy staff" rule? Thats a valid rule, and it's posted.
[15:51:51] Dourne (Dourne): you dont wanna cross those lines matt
[15:52:42] Dourne (Dourne): you move on or dont move it all.
[15:52:48] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Annoying staff is something completly different in my opinion, this is an ingame discussion which makes sense to everybody here
[15:53:15] W2 SaltyBoy (Saltyboy): doesn't mean that you have to keep talking about it
[15:53:20] Jiro (Onyx): And I already told you to stop.
[15:53:22] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Please be honest, do you see this as 'annoying staff'? In that case I will directly stop becasue I dont want to play with the rules
[15:53:32] Dourne (Dourne): there's a few here who consider your comments annoying. its a dead topic stop talking about it.
[15:53:46] Jiro (Onyx): Yes, yes I do see it as annoying staff once you started calling me a liar.
[15:54:10] W2 SaltyBoy (Saltyboy): i widh we could vote to silence him
[15:54:16] W2 SaltyBoy (Saltyboy): wish*
[15:54:46] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I didnt call u a liar, I said 'Why would you lie if...... (conditions)'
[15:54:54] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Please, keep that in mind
[15:56:30] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Read back and copy the message that I would have called u a liar?

[02:52:43] 123 (Get on my Lvl): hey
[02:53:03] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I saw your turrets outside of my outpost, do you want to build there? I can remove my outpost if you want?
[02:53:13] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): x seeds*
[02:54:53] 123 (Get on my Lvl): its fine, im moving rn
[02:55:13] 123 (Get on my Lvl): the spot isnt good for staying
[02:55:33] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): You mean your green obi spot?
[02:57:23] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): or the waterfall, next to our base?
[02:59:03] 123 (Get on my Lvl): on the bridge in the canyon
[02:59:13] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): that spot is already taken? :O
[02:59:13] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I mean claimed
[02:59:23] 123 (Get on my Lvl): its not
[02:59:23] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): The real bridge?
[02:59:33] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Kimpie paarntie has some stuff there?
[02:59:43] 123 (Get on my Lvl): no?
[02:59:43] 123 (Get on my Lvl): no foundations
[02:59:53] 123 (Get on my Lvl): no walls
[03:00:23] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): foundations I belive?
[03:00:33] 123 (Get on my Lvl): well then look again, there are none
[03:00:33] Jiro (Onyx): 3 wooden foundations, 2 broken gates, and 7 stone fence foundations are hardly a claim. I removed them earlier upon request
[03:00:53] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): request from them, Jiro?
[03:01:13] 123 (Get on my Lvl): guess from my tribie, talked with him yesterday about the spot
[03:01:13] Jiro (Onyx): Yes.
[03:01:43] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): But those players are still active?
[03:03:33] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Are they okay with it?
[03:03:33] Jiro (Onyx): They placed those things a while back when they first started playing. Haven't touched them since. They've been broken for quite some time. Just like a request I complaint I was given about your claim in the desert that I'm going to be removing since pizza tribe claimed a large area the second the extension was released but hasn't built a thing over there since
[03:04:53] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): So claiming and not doing anything for a week will result in it being unclaimed?
[03:05:13] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): I mean... for 2 weeks your whole base place was claimed... and nothing happened
[03:05:23] Jiro (Onyx): It's a case by case basis. I've recieved multiple complaints and requests
[03:05:33] Jiro (Onyx): Yeah, my whole base area was claimed and I had a base inside.
[03:05:53] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): a base 1/100th the size of ur claim
[03:06:03] GreenSplash (Zen): Well we can destroy foundations ?
[03:06:03] Jiro (Onyx): You really need to stop questioning my every move on the server as an admin. It's tiresome and I'm fed up with it.
[03:06:13] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Then you will get banned Zen
[03:06:43] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): And I feel bad for the Kimpie Paarntie tribe because they really wanted to build there but didnt had the resources yet
[03:06:53] GreenSplash (Zen): Well what's worst ? Making urself leader of a zone you will never exploit or take your place by killing one random foundation ?
[03:07:03] Jiro (Onyx): Then they can contact me. That's not your job. Doesn't even concern you
[03:07:23] GreenSplash (Zen): You're a ruler ?
[03:10:53] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): the thing is, as a player you will get banned if you remove foundations, even if they dont use them
[03:11:23] Jiro (Onyx): And any player is free to sumbit requests or complaints.
[03:12:03] GreenSplash (Zen): Yes, that's how the world works. And you can do nothing when the guy refuses for non-legit reason :p
[03:12:43] 123 (Get on my Lvl): but a foundation isnt a base
[03:12:53] 123 (Get on my Lvl): so you can destroy it
[03:12:53] 123 (Get on my Lvl): its not wiping
[03:13:03] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Ah okay, so I can destroy other players claims, Jiro?
[03:13:13] Jiro (Onyx): Since when did I say that?
[03:13:23] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Regarding from what ur friend said?
[03:13:33] 123 (Get on my Lvl): im not his friend
[03:13:33] Jiro (Onyx): Is he staff? I think not
[03:13:43] 123 (Get on my Lvl): im a friend of a friend of him
[03:13:53] GreenSplash (Zen): i've seen wiping ppl was unallowed, no words about abuse claim or foundation removal. It's still PvPvE
[03:14:23] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): Zen, the thing is, that that is not in the rules but probably also forbidden, to remove claims.. isnt it jiro?
[03:14:43] Jiro (Onyx): "Case by case" It's the admin's discretion
[03:15:13] 123 (Get on my Lvl): if i claim an area for 2 weeks and dont build a base there you can destroy my claim foundations
[03:15:13] Jiro (Onyx): I don't remove stuff on a whim. Many factors come into play such as the level of structures, defenses built, tames around, etc
[03:15:33] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): But it was about players destroying other players claims
[03:15:43] Jiro (Onyx): Metal bases on The Island have been around for a year or more that have been inactive
[03:16:13] Jiro (Onyx): I literally said already players can ask me.
[03:16:43] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): So, you are not allowed to clear claims by yourselves? Against which rule is this? :O it is, like Zen said, not wiping
[03:17:13] Jiro (Onyx): You have a question? Take it up on the forums Matt. I'm done dealing with your BS tonight.
[03:18:23] DC3 MatthTheBeas... (DutifulComet3): will do
[03:18:43] Jiro (Onyx): Every freaking day. HappyDiggers is meant to be a fun community for players to play together. You regularly argue about every little insignificant thing.
Ragnarok server chat screenshot taken from the server console today
Banned for continued dis respectfulness to staff. This player has called me a liar, argued with me about many things, attempted to start fights, riled up the people on the Ark servers several times, and is overall a disrespectful player. He has broken rule 1 on multiple occasions and I've given WAY too much leniency in the hopes he would come to his senses. This player has also been very public on the global chat in opposing every single decision a staff member makes instead of taking his grievances to the forums as he has been told many, many times.
These instances are not the only times this player has been disrespectful. This player has been disrespectful to staff for a long time now and has been given way too many chances to get by without any reprocussions. InsaneJ even added a brand new rule to the Ark servers because of the way this guy treats staff. Several members of staff have been heavily involved in this decision to ban this player.
Jailed for 2 hours for continued language. Player has been issued a warning.
//Edit:
Aside from the warning, if the player commits another infraction he will be banned. The player isn't taking the rules seriously. Ironically if we weren't using the jail system he would already be banned.
