Didn't read the rules when coming on server - didn't see Rule 3D and admitted as much in-game. Good start.
Got asked to disconnect, and was told would be welcome to return, with mic. Led us to believe he didn't have a mic.
Chose to argue (in text) about whether text-chat was a pain-in-the-ass for other people or not, and then told me 'couldn't leave' (with hindsight, he probably just hadn't worked out the abort button was on a timer).
Disconnected by himself just as I was lining up the kick (nb not ban at that stage), but reappeared in nano-seconds. Presumption was (given what he'd said) that he didn't possess a mic, so was presumably coming back to grief us or text more BS about how text wasn't really a problem.
I have no problem with this guy being unbanned (providing he keeps his mic in use, and reads the frickin' rules and guides PROPERLY next time - including the ones about where to post unban requests)
He'll have to wait for the next manual cycle of unbans, though, cos I did it via RCON, not AdminPanel. Life's a bitch...
