Players Name: Baron Bombast (Duke Gordy)
Steam ID: 11731689
Reason for ban: Managing to exploit some mechanism to spawn in TNT/Some explosive prop when people were roleplaying to some extent at least.

(The bomb is in this image, you can see the name there. Its welded to the plushie and made invisible, kind of a round object about midway up in the air. Forgot to screenshot while it was highlighted but I was focusing on removing it before it went off.)

You can see his bomb prop in here as well as the logs of those killed by him. He was on the catwalks using what I assume was AdvDupe to spawn them down into the street.
What would you like to see improved: I would like them to either be affected by a temporary ban or have their ATT stripped.
Other users in the past when they found an exploit to create a large detonation (The Torpedo) have suffered permabans, yet in this case Duke was told to stop by Vorti. I hold that this was not enough of a punishment. I understand and kind of agree with the dislike of plushies and feeling they are out of theme for the universe which I will do my best to implore upon the individual selling them however this does not excuse spawning bombs and randomly blowing up people who are roleplaying.
If the rules to have meaning they must be followed regardless of whom violated them. We recently had an issue where people were abusing new players, they were punished as well they should yet we all know more people than them do it, they were just the people who had a thread made on them. Crystal, the plushie salesman is kind of new to the server and I have taken them into SMU and hope to get them more into the setting understanding. The plushie sales can be voided in total since it was a fairly minor RP thing. However blowing people up is not so harmless as a bad salesman. Some people were trying to roleplay, sure it was not the best but it was still roleplay. I was walking up to roleplay in a situation utterly unrelated to the plushie situation even if some people were involved in it that I intended to interact with. It by its nature destroyed the roleplay and was to an extent picking on a new player as I doubt that he took the time to explain the full reason why it was kind of, well, stupid to sell full on plushie stocks.
I would like to see an end to the situation where people who are at least putting effort into things are not seen as able to be bombed with only a slap on the wrist and an “If you do it again”, people should face some concrete punishment. I am not advocating for a permaban but rather a short ban or the removal of their ATT. Something to set home the lesson of not doing this.
Crystal is new to the server, when I am done typing this I will try to fully explain why what they did was illogical to the setting. I would also like to point out that any cultural events like those several SqL’s are endorsing for the Red Dragon would be put down, nobody would want them to paint lanterns as that would be individualism and expressing non transhuman culture. You don’t see them getting bombed. (I know the Red Dragon individuals are not angels of good behavior but still they work for this example.)
The TL’DR of this is that I would at the least like to see his ATT gone for a period of time or a short ban, even a day or so one would do to make the point. I do not feel Vorti telling him to not do it again was enough as it kind of seems like favoritism.
