Admin map changing rules

[thecat]

I know that senior admins have the right to change maps at their leisure as long as it is not "rapid"(not defined well enough) but I still do not think that admins should not have this power and here is why.
One persons map preference does not reflect the entire servers map preference and the whole point of an admin is to make the servers experiences better not worse.
I think that the admins should at least call a vote to see whether the server wants to change the map before he/she changes the map unless the map is crashing the server.
Here is a poll to see what people think.

Oh this will be good.

Senior admin does reserve the right to change the map. I believe rapidly, in this case, can be defined as over and over. I rarely change the map in any server without first getting a concensus, however, not all admins do.

Is it a dick move to not consider others in the server? Maybe. Will the rule ever be changed? Doubtful.

It is up to the admin. if theyre repeatedly changing it to maps that are glitchy or are unplayable for some reason, thats one thing..but if theyre doing it to their preference and a few dont like it..not necessarily illegal.

... lol

voting on your own poll?

pay 11 bucks and u get that right too.

The rule is fine, the problem comes when you get cuntbag admins. The rule is there so that if everyone goes, "this map is worse than the Holocaust run by blacks," then the admin does everyone a favour instead of the RTV routlette.

The problem comes when you get admins who forget that the only reason they're there is for the enjoyment of the players, so you get people like Meltdown who are frigid cunts who only do things for their own amusement and sholdnt even have admin but rather cancer.

In the end; the rules are fine, look at those who are inforcing them for the reasons why there are issues.

So get madder; It feeds me!!:horse:

At least define "rapid" so when an admin changes the map the second it starts they can be reported for admin abuse.
And why is everyone against this all it does is make it mandatory for admins to ask the server before he/she changes the map.

[brett friggin favre]

"rapid" means several map changes in rapid succession.

your opinion means nothing here, frankly. they don't need to ask. if they abuse it, we'll hear about it and take care of it.

Do you tell your boss what to do? or does your boss tell you what to do? Or do you and your co-workers have a vote on what you all think you should do that day? that one must be it, can i come work with you?

So if you pay 11 bux then you automatically make better decisions then the people who don't pay 11 bux great point.

no, you just pay for the right to make said decisions. nobody said they're better at it.

hey you might be a better at your job then your boss but you still have to respect the title that person has. so it is a great point thx.

well, those that pay 11$ are given the right to make these decisions. it's an incredibly simple concept. we pay money to keep the servers running and the site operating, and in return, we are awarded certain privileges. if we take advantage of these privileges, then they're taken away from us.

So if you pay 11 bux then you automatically make better decisions then the people who don't pay 11 bux great point.

What a fun thread this is turning out to be ^_^. By the way, for the poll question, "Do you agree with this thread" is too open ended (I mean the majority of the thread is going against what you were going for, so what is agreeing to the thread exactly?)


One persons map preference does not reflect the entire servers map preference and the whole point of an admin is to make the servers experiences better not worse.

No, one person's preference does not reflect the server, however, if the admins are willing to spend 11 DOLLARS (not "bux", stop butchering the English language with your phonic texting jargon), they have a general idea of what maps are more or less tolerable. The "majority" on the other hand will button smash the first option because when a vote comes up when you're playing, no one honestly cares... This is what leads us to maps that are, not necessarily bad, but only have one path, no variance, and are a bore to play day in and day out. The important thing to remember is it's a game, and like all games, the more $ you spend, the more perks you get (that's life i'm afraid).

In addition, nowhere in the Admin Terms of Service (http://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/showthread.php/6-Tos) does it state our job is to "make the servers experiences better". Obviously an admin should try their best to do this, but that doesn't mean obliging everyone's whims (including yours). Admins are moderators, there to punish rule breakers and enjoy the game like any other player. If you want to make your opinions more known, I suggest buying admin or prey your nominations win. Otherwise, you will respect our rules, and respect the admin's choices (provided they aren't "rapid", use an educated guess if you aren't sure :icon_mrgreen:).

And this concludes my ramble. Enjoyed the clip cyber :wtg:

You are the worst type of person. You literally bring nothing to the table. There is no conceivable reason for you to be posting these things, or for that matter, having any reason to think anyone gives a damn about your opinion.
