Staff being too serious about bans

[Complexity]

So Recently ive seen alot of people getting banned for joking about hacking or ddosing.

I think that the Staff is a bit too serious about People joking about things. I realise when some says " I hack totally" Even though its hard to hear the sarcasm over the internet. But im my case I got banned for saying " cant wait to ddos you" then right after i said " jk" Personally i think my case was taken too seriously. In the evidence you can see that i said jk right after. I dont think that people should get perm banned if they are joking. I think it would be more fair if they got kicked or temp banned with the warming not to joke about breaking the rules.

It's in the rules... Don't break them and you'll be fine...

You shouldn't really be joking about that kind of stuff in the first place. Threatening someone that you will take down their internet is not a joke and will always be treated like an actual threat. On the line with joking about hacking, it may seem harsh, but most of the time those who admit they are hacking are legitimately hacking. The staff team love jokes and honestly there are a lot of us that joke around, however there is a line and saying those kind of jokes is crossing that line.

+ threatening to DDoS someone is illegal

admitting to hacks is just about the stupidest rule conceivable

Or... You know... You could not admit to use hacks, saves you a lot of trouble

That's why you should read the rules before entering the server...

The problem is with what counts as an 'admission'

complete joke of a rule

Although I don't support the rule, I guess that's why it's in place because sometimes it's hard to determine if someone is joking or not with only text in chat. I've seen totally innocent people banned for joking around about it being sarcastic, answering someone elses accusation. I've also seen cocky hackers freely admit to using hacks too. How do you know if someone is joking or not?
