Worst Gaming Organization of the Week: Pub Gaming

Technically this is another WGOW (pronounced "w go w") from last week, but the slot was taken for a shorter post.

Alright, so on 2011 October 9 at 11:40pm, ttt_losttemple_v1, I went idle to go to the washroom before the next round started. The moment I return, I am killed in spawn as a traitor. When the round ends I accuse my killer, -[PuG]-Bounty (STEAM_0:0:7854799), of RDM. Not only was my claim dismissed, but I was also ridiculed by several members, most notably Monp whom I assume to be the leader of the organization (ranked Head Admin). They said that Bounty was allowed to kill me because my traitor buddy did not kill me.

I posted an admin complaint/ban request on their forums, my main argument being:
Are neither of these individuals aware that on the majority of TTT servers it is illegal to kill AFKs?

Why is it illegal to kill AFKs on most servers? Because most TTT servers have it set to default for players to be moved to spectator after 45-90 seconds of inactivity (default is 180). This way, you have people in spec instead of potential stalemates (i.e. the last innocent and the last traitor are both idle), or stagnated games.
To which they responded:
tacosx22 (STEAM_0:1:23922408): ive been killed for that reason tonnes of times.. dont be such a bitch

Monp (STEAM_0:0:14987480): Good job filing a complaint because your traitor buddy got you caught. Too bad it was a legit reason to kill.
If my traitor buddy was any sort of TTT regular it is entirely plausible that he did not kill me based on the reasoning that killing AFKs is illegal on most servers.



It gets worse. We are playing dm_richland and I have my first traitor round. A little ways in -[PuG]- Charr Legion (STEAM_0:0:13399606) says, "It's PatPeter; it's PatPeter!" To which I responded, "What's your evidence? What's your evidence?" He never gave his evidence.

I (STEAM_0:1:7366484) can only conclude based on this night of gaming with this organization that Pub Gaming is a favoritism-centered, ghosting organization whose server should not be visited.
