We regret to inform the community that MINIAS has been banned due to repeated instances of toxic behaviour.
This includes harassment of fellow players, including sexual chat beyond comprehension that crosses the boundaries of extremities towards female players, disrespect, and use of abusive language towards admins.

Despite previous warnings to maintain a respectful environment, MINIAS crossed the line by swearing at admins and failing to adhere to the established guidelines for discussion.
As a result, the prior statement regarding the validity of discussing certain topics on the forum is no longer applicable.

We do not issue bans lightly on ZG but the situation escalated despite our attempts to address it.

We want to keep a positive and welcoming space for all players, and such behaviour will not be tolerated at ZG.

Thank you for your understanding.

The player MINIAS has now created a total of 12 accounts in attempts to evade his ban, reinforcing our decision to make this ban permanent.
His behavior has escalated beyond simple rule-breaking into targeted harassment, as he continues to re-enter the server under false pretenses.
Recently, he also sent disparaging messages to other players, maligning the ZG community and its admins in an attempt to undermine trust within the server.

Here are the Steam accounts associated with these attempts:

Moving forward, any further attempts will be reported both to Steam and to his ISP to address this as harassment.

Player created a post on the HL2DM steam community discussions, where he clearly expresses physical harm to our community.
I am pasting this below so it is documented.

ZG server is DESPICABLE
I strongly advise against joining this community, admins do what they want based on personal prejudices without giving the opportunity to explain.
All new players will be monitored like prisoners in order to prove their authenticity.
a lot of distrust, little willingness to understand the problems and explain.
they do what they want according to their personal and subjective tastes.
Move away from this toxic community, made up of liars, HYPOCRITES and slanderers even towards players outside of any individual discussion.
unprofessional, high hypocrisy, expect knives in the back from this administration BUBBLES NASLLIE MAKONNEN AND FATA

rest assured that they will now spit you out in the eyes of all hl2d players, including your protégés.
Just come in and play for a few hours to see, but I strongly advise against it, play on mine or on other servers,,,or other games.

PS: for admins, I recorded all, don't worry, it's a double-edged sword but you really forced me.
you are a closed niche of f *******.
Call police call police, they hang the phone in your face laughing.
this is because apologizing and creating different accounts and paying for games is legitimate as well as profitable,,,,,but to disgrace you I would launch a nuclear device directly on your incompetent server

Admin criterions are very subjective, the law is not the same for everyone...just play for a few days,,,trust me, they pass themselves off as super friendly but they are just super fraudulent and sneaky towards you...bad community, don't be fooled, or, if you want, try it for yourself

frankly I advise you NOT TO WASTE TIME on this server... try junkcity, try mine

Hi y'all,
sadly I have witnessed a few of these during the game. If I remember correctly, a few weeks ago this player showed up, no problem, weirdo sure, but all shits and giggles on voicechat.

But it soon turned to very personal confessions on his mental health, use of medication, drugs and alcohol.

I was sorry to hear that, obviously. People with mental health problems deserve help. But playing online from within that mental state and harrassing other players is a definite no-go.

In my own experience of playing on ZG for the last few years, I have never seen the admins react in anything but the most professional and constructive ways -until a player definitely exceeded the limits of reasonable conduct. To me, the accusations from this player are therefore just ramblings of a frustrated individual.
I'm sorry for you guys (admins Bubbles, NasAllie, Fata and Makonnen) and of course Redeve having to have to endure this. Don't let it get to you. Hopefully it doesn't affect your enthousiasm -and gameplay.

Although, I am in need of an edge lately. ;-)

see you in the game my friends!
