Something isn't right when someone gets 3 abuse threads in as many days.

By the letter of the law this is abuse, but I was on that map. A small group survived the boss and a vote was taken, that came up freeze T's so we could see the third level. I was one of the survivors, and yes I voted to see the third lvl. But it wasn't a guarantee that Zombs would have gotten us anyway.

if you watch the demo the first time he froze the T's there was no vote, he just froze them for no reason but to help humans win, also there is no reason why he should freeze zombies whether there is a vote or not, it ruins the game and makes people think the server is corrupt

Everyone wanted to see the 3rd stage, I casted a vote asking the server whether we should freeze the zombies after the boss fight so we can advance to the 3rd stage because there were very few ct.'s left.

id advise to look between 55000-56000 where there was not a single vote, you just froze the zombies after the humans beat the boss. you randomly froze zombies to let the humans win

[hungry hungry hobos]

if you go into your demo at 50000 you will see that i casted a vote saying "freeze zombies for 3rd stage?" and the answer was yes 71 % of votes

[Passarelli]

If you aren't allowed to change gravity, you think you are able to freeze players?

Seriously, please take rule 4 of the ToS to heart. "Use admin privileges sparingly and appropriately."

[StarsMine]

if a 71% vote for a command happened, then that is a rather strong vote for said command

Gravity is not allowed since it fucks with the server, freezing is just an @all command.
We used it all the time on harry potter to get to the end of that map.

i was gonna look into all the demos this weekend but seeing 3 back to back to back abuse threads, I'll get to these when it dies down a bit at work today.

[phil.™]

Verdict from all 3 cases.
Gravity change abuse confirmed. Slap command confirmed (but not excessive). !freeze @t command confirmed.

He seems to be a new admin, so first time offense i'm gonna be easy on him and give him a warning. But punishment will be needed. 4 hr ban has been issued and a warning will be issued.
Hobos, i highly suggest you read the TOS and zm rules.
Votes do not allow you to change gravity, freeze people, or do any other actions than change maps if you are senior admin.

Resolved, closed.
