Is it legit per server ownership rules to ban for unarmed kit use?

[Scooty]

This server I was on earlier was threatening to perm ban anyone who got caught using that kit.

What about if they tried to ban for using marksmen kit?

What if they banned for any other squad using top end vehicles than their squad? (a holdover from PR days admin tactics)

Well the unarmed kit has exactly zero function in standard modes, so you only really see people using it to throw games which is typically seen as trolling.

If they threaten to perm-ban over a kit, they’re power tripping. Like damn, I have years of admin experience but gave it up because it was too demanding having to babysit.
If you want some advice, stay the hell out of that server. I instantly leave if I see an admin power tripping. I don’t need a 13 year old who thinks he’s better than everyone else abusing admin.
If you want to be a respected admin, but still want to enforce the rules, give warnings, and kicks before resorting to a ban. If the community respects you, they’ll keep coming back = More possible donations.

I may make a thread that people can post admin abuse claims to and server names for others to stay out of.

Unarmed kit is useless in a game it's just throwing tickets away. It's a troll kit 🤷🤷

They're allowed too, as per official admin guidelines by OWI

1.9 - Admins are free to kick/ban anyone that they feel necessary to protect the integrity of their server and community as long as this does not interfere with other administration guidelines.

1.10 - Admins are present to enforce the server rules. The priority is to maintain high quality gameplay and good teamwork for the benefit of all players. They retain the right to act accordingly to any undefined disruptive behavior within the confines of the server administration guidelines.

The unarmed kit right now has 0 use, aside for use in roleplay scenarios in private events. People using the kit right now in public matches are either trolling or memeing and not doing anything beneficial for the team. Just a person hogging a server slot to run around and do nothing but meme or troll, then usually die because the enemy just execute them. That means a ticket lost and no medic will revive you cause literally a waste of a bandage - Unarmed = Not exactly being useful for the team or what ever Squad the person is in.

As an admin myself, I tend to warn people trolling and memeing around the map as unarmed, if they don't listen they get a kick(99% of they time the listen). Only time I allow it, is if the team is rolled back to main and obvious they're not making a comeback.
