I'll try to not be too long. I have the Creative WoW headset (
http://www.creative.com/soundblaster/worldofwarcraft/welcome.aspx) and it includes free voice modulation software. I was attending a raid before I joined TTT and it was activated for Ventrilo. The control panel of the voice mod software minimizes into the bottom right tray when you close the window, similar to Ventrilo (seen here):
So, when I thought I closed the window, it was actually still running - and, ergo, still changing my voice. I joined CG after the raid and was playing on the Minecraft map. Waffuls was on at the time. I had no idea who she was and that she was an admin and I didn't show an ounce of disrespect towards her (unlike some players). It was only after a few rounds that someone mentioned me/my voice. Waffulls immediately told me to stop talking. I was a bit taken aback and, unaware of the voice mod on me, said that was pretty disrespectful/rude. I was immediately permamuted following that. Only after people started to talk about a "squeaker" did I realize that my WoW voice mods were still online (seen here):
Needless to say, the permamute was a big surprise. I've been playing on CG for a very long time. I've played with AK Commando, Tower, Ace, Fullmetal, Caesar, and a lot of other guys for a while, off and on - and the only time I've ever received a punishment/ban was after this incident, when I tried to defend myself.

She wouldn't listen in any capacity and hastily banned me for a day. I don't RDM and I try to enjoy TTT as it was meant to be played. That includes using a mic, which is something I now cannot do. I never once showed any disrespect towards her. Several other players were, including some regulars. Lots of people chose to make sexist jokes. Never did I partake in such junk, nor did I spam my mic/purposefully act obnoxious.
Now, I wasn't thinking about posting this thread for a bit until I started playing on the server tonight. I just got off the Clue map and Waffuls happened to be on at the same time. We were both traitors and I explained that, if I was unmuted, we could better function as a team. What I got instead was disrespect and taunting, with her saying "QQ Anuv?" over mic repeatedly. Not only that, but she said the same taunt in admin chat after she died from a C4 I planted (and warned her about repeatedly in chat). I can't help but think that she might have lived if I could have verbally warned her.
To add insult to injury, she accused me of planting the C4 next to her on purpose so she would blow up while she was AFK. Other traitors (one being an admin, I think) said that no, I planted it in the basement, out of sight of her. I didn't even know that she was AFK.
Anyways. I've always had a lot of fun on the CG servers in the past. It's just this single experience that has left a really bad taste in my mouth. AK, Tower, Fullmetal, Mattt, Bjork, Caesar and a bunch of other admins have all been very respectful in the past and have done a good job of enforcing the rules. I just don't understand what I did to receive such harsh punishment and continued harassment from an admin I've never met before.
