To the powers that be,

I haven't been a member that long, so I may be stepping over the line. Whatever the case may be, let it be known that this is only a request, not a demand. So here me out. If anyone else has got something to say, vote in the poll and then leave a reply.

Recently, a lot of drama went down and Boost's Admin privileges were removed. I wasn't present when the "situation" happened, so I can only speak based on what I've read about the incident and my experience with Boost. Personally, I think the most recent incident with Admiral (or whatever his name is that he's now changed two or three times) got blown way out of proportion.

First off, if Boost broke a rule, well it is what it is. However, I've seen admin abuse that far surpasses what Boost was accused of go unchecked. I don't think it's fair to have that degree of inconsistency in the enforcement of admin actions/abuse.

Second, this Admiral guy is new to me. I had never heard of him until he posted here, and one of his first posts is a complaint about a somewhat established member. That's not to say his opinion doesn't matter. I'm only saying that be cautious.

Third, Admiral has changed his name multiple times and edited and re-edited his story [the complaint about Boost] over and over again. The details have changed each time. As far as I could tell, a concencus on what actually happened, other than Boost giving himself an AWP, was never reached.

Fourth, I think too much crecit was given to Admiral's argument because he provided a screenshot, which we usually don't see. The only thing that screenshot proved is that Boost gave himself an AWP. It shows no record of him actually killing anyone with it.

Fifth and finally, I've been playing with Boost for several months now and I think he's generally a good guy. He's a lot of fun to play with and he's a pretty decent player. From my experience with him most recently, he's also a decent admin. He's gone out of his way to help with hackers on the Dust2 server, even though he was deep in a game on Office. My only complaint about Boost is that I wish he would play CT more, but that goes for a lot of BoSS members.

So, I'd like to request that the powers at be reconsider Boost's case. He's worth it. Thanks.

-Bob

I know I have not played in awhile, but the times I played and boost was on, he has always been a fair and good admin, this awp thing was probably just for fun, and to give that "WTF" effect to the other team, I personally think he should be given another chance...but then again what does lil ol me know.

Look I like Boost, however the logs were checked and apparently he was in the wrong. The thing you have to understand is that when one admin speaks we are all speaking. Same goes for on the server. Maybe one day Boost will get his admin back but that day is not right now or in the coming days.

Whether it was unjust or not it has already been decided.

Boostfed will never be an admin until he learns to not blame others for their mistakes, end of story.

As Stated in the past, this is not a democracy, it is Communism with suggestions, Learn to abide by that rule and all will be well
