I know your son is Autistic and please don't take this the wrong way, But if I had a 9 year old Normal child, I would not let him play in the server. There is way to much vulgarity, violence and sexual conduct going on.
I have been in the same situation as you have when my nephew was here playing the server. He would be playing and some jerk would come along and take him out for no reason, or mug him. The server rules are in place. No I was not there. So I can not tell you who was in the wrong. Being in the same situation in the past I would explain that there are certain cruel people in this world that have nothing better to do in there time as to ruin game play for others. Misery sometimes loves company. I would not come into the server though, when people were being that way, unless they were breaking the rules, but I have in the past done the same thing for other players. I would not be in the server and a certain individual would get a hold of me on msn and tell me what was going in. I would come into the server myself and see and usually take care of the situation at hand.
I or Particle made you an admin for a reason. We trust your judgments and therefore you should use your better judgment to make your own sound rulings. I can see where Kyrie see it as a clouded judgment. I can also see your point is to where someone is taking a super god character and being a jerk with it. But was he being a jerk? If your son was to excited to be able to work the keyboard. Then Shannara thought he was taking on an afk character. I have in the past done the same to other people afk. No I did not mug them clean, but gave them a friendly drink in the river. If the person was not afk, they would make some slight movement to tell, or show me that they were not afk. I was in the server just a couple of weeks ago as a spoof character (for a reason) and a pk jailed me when he made no slight movement that he was not afk. Did I ask him three times if he was afk No. I figured after failing to mug him several times he would show me something that he was not afk. Did i take his pk away? Yes I did, but not for that specific reason. I had several people complaint from several different players that he was using his pk powers to his advantage. After trying to talk to him about the situation, I then felt he was not trustworthy, and talked to other admins and made the decision to take his pk away.
Particle made the rules in the server the way they are for a reason. Sometimes people walk a fine line of those rules. Others interpret the rules differently. That is why we are needed for the server. Even though it is not fun, it is part of our job to uphold and make rules and judgment on situations that are not handled by the server rules, for the server's best interest. I tell people from the very first day that being an admin or pk is not as glorious as people think it is. There are going to be times when you either hate it or love it. That is why we like people to be peacekeepers first, for a time certain time frame so they can get a slight taste of what being a server admin is like. As you may or may not know, most people that we pick for Peacekeeper, either do not stick around very long, or they take it to there heads. There are a few that, stick with it and become admin.
Shannara is a peackeeper, and maybe he did not handle the situation as he should have, maybe you didn't handle the situation as you should have. I was not there and did not see what was going on globally, so I can not make the interpretation of if he was right or wrong. If I was there, then I would have told you both to handle it non-global way. In my eyes, admin and pks arguing like this should take it out of the server. It only cause more chaos in the server then is needed. We are all different people we all have different personalities and handle things differently. We all have different backgrounds and beliefs. As admin we take care of things differently. That is why there is more then just one admin in the server. But there is one thing that we all have in common or should have in common, and that is to make the server a better game play for the individuals who come to the server to play not just for ourselves. You are guys are going to see things differently but then again you should also realize that you are adults, and coming into the forums to whine and complain and throw punches at each other is not the way I would handle the situation at hand.
So in my eyes you guys are both wrong.
