I've played on a few servers of DTK and this problem is really only in TTT. The problem isn't just the rules themselves, which are quite clearly flawed and very loose, but also with admins.
The rules are whole other area of confusion, which really come down to "admin decision is final" as the admins always say/fall back on... Some admins clearly show a lack of knowledge of rules, and are ignorant to the fact that they are.. Some admins favour their preferred players or friends over others, which gets piss annoying when you're not 'friends' with them. Some admins choose to somewhat ignore things that some players do, or pass it off, while clearly targeting and focusing on punishing other players.
If a player is punished, in my experience and a few other players I have contacted, that's it. If I was to go and ask questions about that decision - I get a mute, if I go admin chat and say that's unfair/is that punishment necessary for what I've done - they will either warn, ban, or threaten to do one of those two. If I try to add them on steam to discuss what they have done, they will rarely add me if at all. Therefor I believe there's no platform to discuss this, they say go to the forums, but I and a crap ton of other players don't use the forums a lot, if at all, and I don't want to come to the forums to say every single damn thing that they do, because it's easier to just leave the server then come on here and explain what happens every single day/time it happens... But even then, if I'm punished or anyone else is unfairly there is hardly any, if any at all, backlash for the admin or any consequences or nothing. If they make a mistake nothing happens. If i'm playing and I plan on playing for the next few hours, but then I get banned (falsely), then there's nothing I can do about that.. They just say go and report it on the forums or make an appeal on source bans..
There are a lot of problems and no one is willing to discuss it on the server and I can't seem to find a thread or even some information about this type of stuff.. So some help and information would be nice.
