That sentence right there is the reason why you should've voted to OT to a note, since that's what you would have a done, that's why there's 3 or two mods or whatever who handle appeals and vote on what THEY would have done, and then the result is made.
MOD 1 gives a violation player appeals the violation
MOD 2 reads the appeal, the persons defense, and the game and votes what they would have done given the circumstances.
MOD 3 does the same thing MOD 2 does and then it's handled.
You, vilden, MOD 2. Just said you wouldn't have given a violation so you should have voted to OT then let MOD 3 also decide what they would have done.

i mean isp is isp but a note could be anything, it could even be isp
So the reason for no OT, even though you disagreed with the verdict, was that a note is worse punishment than ISP, and it'd be rude to ediz

we're not supposed to give notes for gold heart games. in-game violation notes are really only for new players and super super borderline cases in which the mods just want to keep track of a certain behavior in case the player is habitually doing it
he does have a history of trolling though. I dont understand why you are protecting this guy so much.

in case you guys forget: appeals are just reports, but with a twist.

I agree helsinki that it's ironically funny that zovea got this violation, and i agree that he would probably report someone for the same play, but i would also have the same stance that this should at the most be a note, unless of course the person has a REPORTED history of game throwing, ISP'ing, or playing under the influence and using it as an excuse.

man vilden just activated slow's trap card i'm excited
yeah, @slow, I guess it's a matter of etiquette. I didn't feel strongly enough that ediz was WRONG so I didn't OT. That being said, if I took on the report initially, my verdict would've been different

actually, zovea has an extensive history of terrible play, and this is just the first time he's been modded for it using his own logic

You also claimed that you sustained it in the appeal because notes don't expire implying you did him a favour, when in fact notes do expire. In this case he should've gotten a note and told to try to avoid playing games when under the influence of anything since your judgment might be impaired, then we wouldn't be here right now.

appeals at their core should really just be "what would i have given this report if i was the first mod to look at it".
slow is here
yaa lol

@devante, I didn't give him the vio, I agreed with ediz's verdict since a counter-argument is weak. By policy I almost HAD to sustain it.
You just changed the details btw. A case where someone guns incorrectly because he "didn't know who the bp was" when the bp claimed would deff be an isp vio. But if someone intentionally doesn't gun the BP like you said before, there must have been some circumstance or reason why he didn't. This probably wouldn't be a vio, it depends.
it's stupid to give someone who has no history of trolling a game a violation like this, people make mistakes. He made a mistake, let's recall how many times jasprar for example said "OMGZ MODZ ARE HUMANS TOO THEY MAKE MISTAKES RELAXXXXXXXXX".
