Now, as far as handling the situation, I strongly disagree with the notion that someone who is RDMing shouldn't be kicked if there is no other means of handling the situation at the time. I'm actually quite upset with the fact that RDM isn't handled with a more iron fist approach, but then again it's not very common on Dinkleberg's, nor is it intentional most of the time. The reason I feel it's not the wrong call is simply because it's either one kick and done, it's likely not going to recurr because the precedent has been set, an example has been made, of the consequences of violating this particular rule.

Also, I do understand by saying the RDM rule should be enforced harder, that it would mean people like me, and even me, would be punished harsher.

Someone who RDMs once should not be kicked. Whether that be by staff or donors. The correct choices to make in these situations are: on-call ping in Discord, report/ban request if it gets to that point, or ignore it and move on. One RDM isn't ban worthy, so that option isn't really the best and it mostly just comes down to calling staff or ignoring it. The reason it is the wrong call is that it isn't just one kick and done. More than likely it ends one of two ways: Someone gets kicked by a donor for an nondescript reason they don't understand and then never come back to Dinkleberg's, which is an issue because we want/need players, or they simply come back angrier and RDM much worse. (or the third option, which is reports like this are made and can potentially lead to loss of donor if continued after warnings)

That all being said, I'm not in charge of what result comes of this. But in the future, when situations like this arise, if you aren't sure what the proper course of action is, just ask staff (through Discord for the fastest response)
