I am a bit annoyed with the situation that has created a few days ago on your server. Koevoet has received an email warning that taxes to be banned from the server and the website. Only thing that happened is that one player ask us what mean UR, our tag. I told him it meant unknown rejects, only that. I never wanted to recruit or anything like that. As a woman I respect your rules and decisions. But if someone asks me, will continue to respond. First and foremost I am an educated woman, and will remain no matter what. If I am banned of your HMSTR server i fell hurting and I feel very sad.
If I have to apologize for being educated, the better I stopped playing. My father taught me that education is one of the most important values in life. respectfully:

Sweet Anne - please read your emails Wedge sent to you. You and the others are NOT banned from the servers.
What happened is when asked what UR stood for Koevoet responded with the website address, instead of just stating your squad name.
We do NOT tolerate recruitment on our servers - we spend far too much time, effort and money in providing a place for people to enjoy gaming to let other come in and disregard our server rules - which are stated quite plainly.
There is no harm here, no foul. Just a warning which has been blown far out of context.

I trust that this situation is resolved now.
Is Koevoet NO Is anyone else actualy baned over this NO Have we sent a warning YES
We have rules, why anyone gets annoyed or upset at us trying to keep our rules in place is beyond me, if everyone sticks to the rules there is no problem at all, everyone continues playing and having fun.
As I say all we are trying to do is maintain the servers to the standard we have kept over the years.
To let everyone know the situation who is unsure what exactly is going on:-
On the 30th Jan 2009 this was typed in Hardmaps TR2
[21:09:50] BearHead: hi, what UR stands for? [21:09:59] Koevoet.UR: hi m8 [21:10:15] Koevoet.UR: unknown-rejects.eu [21:10:15] Sweet-Anne.UR: unkonw rejects [21:10:19] BearHead: thanks
Now when someone asks me what UR stands for I would say, Unknown Rejects as you did sweet anne, I would not put the website url in.
Obviously Koevoet doesnt know our rules, I sent him an email explainnig that advertising squads was a banable offence and we take this with a very, very dimm view, infact its one of the things I see red at. I would not do it on anyone elses server and I would hope people respect us enough not to do it on ours! Typing a url is I feel advertising, but obviously Koevoet and I dont agree on that.
So yet again we have had flak over us trying to maintain our servers, yet again we have had hassle when we ask someone to do something after the countless happy hours they have had playing in our servers.
You know its a funny old world, more and more I really do wonder why we even bother trying to keep things running well.

I can tell you why Wedge....Because you know that we truly appreciate all the hard work (why else call it hardmaps) you put in to this. Because most of us do know how the rules are applied (and that from someone who was banned for 24 hours... )... And because all of us enjoy playing the maps you guys put on the server for us to play...
