Gm power abuse
When I log on to the Pre-BC server the GMs are severely abusing their powers with Mutes, kicks, and now a 24-hour IP Ban. In the LFG channel I am constantly asking people to "Queue AB" or "Queue WSG/AB". How on earth is this a bannable offense to ask people to queue for a battleground? We hardly ever get battlegrounds to pop without someone asking in LFG channel for people to queue. I logged over to an alt character to tell people in Ironforge to queue AB and that character got constantly kicked from the server? And for what? For politely asking people to queue an Arathi Basin. At the time I was asking people to queue there were over 40 people online. More than enough for an Arathi Basin or a Warsong to pop. In my opinion the GMs are abusing their powers to mute, kick, and ban people who are simply looking for players of the opposite faction to queue for Battlegrounds. The only people who ever get muted are the Horde players too. The Alliance players have never received a mute or a kick for constantly berating us in LFG for just asking people to queue AB/WSG. I have not started a fight in LFG for quite some time, every time I ask for people to "Queue AB" or "Queue AB/WSG" the Alliance join in with their 2 cents worth and start to berate and insult me. Then in the end the one that gets muted, kicked from the server, and now a 24-hour IP ban is me? Is my logic flawed here, because I sincerely am in disbelief as to what is happening. Once again I haven't started a fight I just ask people to queue AB and the Alliance start the fights.

my thoughts:
allys going to continue to dodge the battlegrounds until the horde's decides that the server is no fun since there is no PVP so they leave and then them allys can farm the world bosses in peace.

Firstly, a little unrelated to the ban, but I recall last topic clearly stating Arathi Basin wasn't supposed to be promoted until the NPC made an appearance with the WSG battlemaster, or in a timed event with. Maybe you just didn't read that.
However, I looked at your ban and you were suspended for spamming, and then mute evasion. Looks like the evasion is what got you suspended, and it should. When people evade or mutes or suspensions it just undermines the entire point of the moderation we just placed.
Now, I've seen in LFG the past several days you asking people to Queue AB, sometimes a smart-allec response is followed with something regarding the Alliance. However, the reason you were muted for only 1 minute as I understand was because every 10 seconds you were spamming to Queue AB. This is clearly a spamming matter, and therefore you were timed from saying anything again -- in which you chose to attempt bypassing which in the end is what your suspension was really placed on.
For the need to say it twice: please be patient with the growth of the server. Especially that including of battlegrounds.

Re: Gm power abuse
I got muted for 20 minutes, Notmeagin was muted for 2 hours, and Rapeqt was muted for 15 minutes. Neither of those are 1 minute mutes. I wasn't exactly saying "Queue Arathi Basin" every 10 seconds either. It was more like once every 15-30 seconds when my chat pane would fill up and it wasn't visible anymore. Once again I'm going to say the Alliance never get muted for constantly berating me in LFG but I get muted and banned for asking people to queue AB. The lack of logical reasoning on the part of the GMs is clearly out of control. I would have no need to spam "Queue AB" if they wouldn't type so many insults that it fills up my chat pane every 15 seconds.

Re: Gm power abuse
There's a difference in acting like a jerk and making a fair point, if you're refering to people making an actual intelligent comeback to some argument you make about PvP vs PvE (which you by the way shrug off in a disrespectful way or "LOL YOU FOAMEN" "YOU MAD" etc.) I just don't understand your logic. You're acting like a jerk all the time I see you on, along with a few other individuals and you're seriously wondering why you're getting muted?
Seriously, I swear you're all so full of yourselves you don't even realize how stupid you sound most of the time. Your ban was well deserved and the last thing you should do is come crying about GM abuse.
Warm wishes,
