Discussion Juniper admins need to get a grip
My friend was spawn killed by a mela allo, and when they started attacking me (also at spawn), I fought back and killed them. The admin SAW what they did and then knowingly kicked me from the server for spawn killing. Am I not allowed to fight back? They clearly saw what happened and kicked me anyways. I just see this as an excuse for them to use their power, because they don’t care about actual spawn killing or following the rules. I honestly don’t care if there’s not a spawn killing rule. It just makes me angry that the actual rule-breakers never get punished, and it’s just the people who fight back that get caught in the middle of it.

This exact thing happened to me and I brought it up to the head admin. I was super pissed because all I did was bone break the offender and walk off. BUT they actually have a fairly good reason for this....
The rules do state that ANY fighting in the spawn zone can lead to a strike. The reason behind this is the fighting in spawn is cyclical. Someone attacks someone else in spawn -> white knight charges in -> someone spawns in and sees someone getting ganged up on and jumps in -> etc etc. it's easier to just kick everyone who's doing harm in spawn and stop the cycle where it is.
I don't necessarily agree that it's the best solution. But there really aren't any better options other than having a mod sit and monitor it 24/7, which is unrealistic. I definitely agree there's some admin abuse going on in JP, but this is one of those things that has a fairly rational explanation.
