It will be a sad day if Funky leaves and/or CnCNet dies due to this type of useless drama.
- Now I'm not here to pick sides, as I'm cool with all parties. I just want to point out that all of this drama in extremely unhealthy for the community. If you get banned, just let it be. Learn for next time. I know I have. Don't harass moderators or irrelevant parties when you have an issue with ONE person. Keep it towards that person ONLY and don't publicize your problems (do you think this is facebook?).
It's time to stop!
AndrewFord's contributions to the Community! 100% True
- People can't just get banned and get away, unlike AndrewFord. Many people don't know this, but AndrewFord has been banned 3 times over 2 years of playing this game. This may come as a surprise to some of you, but AndrewFord got away without losing respect because he is a legend. His first ban, he was flat out toxic, insulting all clan members, and harassing random users. The second ban was because he made a wikipedia page about all the people he has beat. Lastly the third was due to impersonation.
- The difference between AndrewFord's bans and everyone elses is that AndrewFord ais a legend. AndrewFord brings positive energy into the community. AndrewFord helps all skill levels, and allows everyone to bask in AndrewFord's legendary glory. After all these bans, they have been forgotten because of my legendary attitude. CnCNet had ~100 players when AndrewFord first started, and ever since he was playing; the game grew because of HIM. Being a legend. That's all. Everyone knew that because he started playing the game that all the old players felt like the game was just....worth playing again. Nobody else excercises this positive influence on the community like he does. His intelligence and charisma alone were enough to grow CnCNet exponentially. (and it still is growing)
To everyone!
- Remember that this is the internet. People say things on the internet because of the anonymity of it. Most trolls are actually regular guys who just say inflammatory things for a reaction. Take everything with a grain of salt. People are blowing this out of proportion.

I dont know if Funky reads these blogs but if you do Funky don't let Break's rants get the best of you this crap has been going on ever since I started playing the game in the 90s with tons of players. Now with the exception of Hacking and Threats, I believe it is wrong to bann someone from playing the game, being a trash talking asshole doesn't warrant a bann to me thats why the mute option was created. Using another players name is punishable but only like an hour time out type of thing. Threats to people or family members is so fucking stupid. Fuck worrying about RA at that point do you really want to go to jail? Will everyone causing trouble please grow up And treat others the way that you want to be treated? In the history of this game the ones most looked up to were the great players who showed respect to other people. And Funky if you're reading, don't kill a great thing for hundreds of respectful people because of one or two idiots. - ORA-boy
And also dont ban the fools who cheat sure suspend them for a couple days but let them all come back. The humiliation of people chastising them for using a cheat will be enough punishment
Hi,
Getting banned/muted isn't the issue. I'm happy to accept either so long as the rules apply to everyone, there should be a WARNING system in place though. These moderators just ban people freely without issuing warnings whatsoever. Also when you do get bannd you are not given a time limit as to when you can play/chat again which is really lame. Also they need to implement some basic "template message" features for muted players so that they are still able to start games. I don't see why allowing muted players to use a command like "Start the game please", "gg", "Change map" is unreasonable?
Funky isn't thinking of banning because of me,Break and others. Funky is thinking of quitting because the moderators are getting too click-happy with their bannings/mutings which is in turn giving Funky a headache. Without the constant unreasonable bans/mutes there would be no drama.
Regards
Oh btw ORA-andrewf congrats on legend status =D lol
Very true, well said. I agree.
