Some Problems

[ScarletRose]

I loved this role play and I still adore it. It's very good and has a stunning map. I just have a few problems my first one is:
Metagaming, on this server it has the incorrect definition Metagaming is when you use information you know out of role play in role play to give your character an advantage when your in game character shouldn't know about the information. Asking where someone is to simply tell them to go on discord is not Metagaming it doesn't benefit the character in anyway and asking a question is also not Metagaming as long as you don't use the information for your role play character.

My second problem is the amount of times people are kicked. I got kicked (which crashed my game) for 'metagaming' when I was simply talking to a friend use /looc. I managed to get back online but I found my friend had also been kicked. I feel like admins should have to give a proper reason to kick someone and they should need some sort of proof which should be easy to get considering quite a few people use this server.

I am not criticizing this server because I know it is difficult to run a server and if your staff I realize helping is also hard. Please don't take these problems the wrong way I just wanted to offer my opinion and I wanted you to know what Metagaming actually is. Thank you so much for your time and keep being an amazing server because I do truly love this server.

Metagaming
Metagaming is when you use Out of Character knowledge for In Character purposes. This could also be saying your location, saying that you have an item, or any other thing that a character would not know if you didn't say in OOC Chat.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metagaming_(role-playing_games)
metagaming is an "out of character" action where a player's character makes use of knowledge that the player is aware of but that the character is not meant to be aware of

Asking for location is metagaming, as you are using a off-character move to gain a advantage in-character, aka knowing the location of someone without finding them first or talking to them in-character.
If you dont agree to the official server meaning of metagaming and the rules and punishment that follows it, feel free to make a suggestion here:

As you are using an*** off-character, to gain an*** advantage.
Sorry, love you.

If you got kicked for metagaming maybe you should, instead of whining how you got kicked for it, just obey the rules? Then you wouldn't be writing all this stuff, anyway.
And I must disagree with your statement on how you "aren't criticizing the server". The definition of criticism is "the expression of disapproval of someone or something on the basis of perceived faults or mistakes.". You're expressing your disapproval of the server on the basis of what you believe to be the incorrect definition of metagaming.
