Hey all.
I have an important little informative paragraph about the server 'Gunzodus' that I want people to read and listen to. If you've heard of this OT, even enjoy this OT you might want to reconsider not playing it after you've read the following.
Disclaimer: I am not banned on their OT, I have donated to their OT (I haven't charged back) but I feel everyone needs to proceed with caution (read below).
1) GM Corruption / rude staff
As it stands right now, corruption is found on some OT servers. On Gunzodus, they took it to the extreme where they boosted one of their friends that died in PvP. He was boosted from 184 -> 273 (#5 on the highscores at the time). After I had pointed it out in help channel, 30 minutes later his deathlist was cleared. People made topics on the forums, all ignored despite the owners commenting on other topics. The player is called Majestic Larz (who also duped and bragged about it in my TS as King of lords with a zero).
Senior tutors on this OT are going as far to telling people that they should have been killed for making a topic about redskulls.
2) Your IP address and why it is not safe on this OT.
The team that had the boosted character were also well known on the server for dosing people during wars or if they were about to be attacked whilst hunting. They obtain your IP address from connecting to TS or if the GMs want to give you the IP addresses (which has happened).
Multiple threads have been made countless times about action being taken against the people that are grabbing IP addresses, majority of them ignored.

3) Banning people for not following rules / people unbanned due to request (what?)
Several people on the OT were botting magic level at the magic shop (somehow against the rules), when they got reported, they were banned without question. The person that had been banned submitted proof of someone using the same script and also using MC to block Gengia DLs (different period of time), yet action was not taken.

The player in this thread was banned for spamming (in game not on the forums), so they made a topic on the forums, I believe two topics actually and demanded to be unbanned.
4) Duping
I made a post on the forums about people duping, and nearly 2k views, no response from any staff members. I did face a load of abuse from the players because I had posted images from my TS of their IP addresses which linked their accounts in the database. Gunz (the actual owner) asked me in game to e-mail the proof (as I removed the IPs from the post due to request) only to have him tell me that he cannot do anything.
(I cannot post these screenshots here as they contain the IP addresses).
Note: The team duping was the same team with the boosted characters, and the team that somehow manages to have access to people's IP addresses on this OT.
5) Forum spam and no moderation (unless you're not in their team then you get banned).
Want to guess it again? You're right, the SAME team that always avoid bans, have people's IP addresses and duped also spam the forums freely with insults.
I am making this post because I want my fellow Tibians to be safe online, have fun and to enjoy themselves. I don't feel that they are going to with this OT.
This OT is not safe for you to play on a competitive level, such as wars etc... Your IP address will be given out by the GMs if you challenge the leading team.
Be safe all!
Edited: added some more information, shrunk images.
