I was on the zombie server, mastagunz and rob were on, but i dont think it was rob. Can you try to get me unbanned by tommorow? I play zombies a lot and IBIS is the only good server I know.

Do you have any idea what you may have done?

Whoever banned you should be around eventually. In the mean time keep trying to connect, because the ban may be short.

No, I was in spectate because a ton of idiots kept breaking my cades and I didnt want to loose any rank, and I just got locked out.

First mistake: do not go to spectate to avoid being tagged. That is most likely the reason you were banned. Were there any zombies by you?

Secondly, your rank really is not that big a deal.

No, the day before I got a warning that if I went to spectate near zombies again I'd be perma banned so I went into spectate as a round started. (I'm not dumb enough to try that while I saw two admins on the server)

Well, if they banned you, it's probably a short term.

Maybe 2 hours or so.

they might have thought you were doing that to avoid being tagged.

But whoever threatened a perma-ban, do not know the rules.

You can't get permabanned for going to spec to avoid being tagged.

That's the same as !ztele'ing.

MAX 7 day ban.

The admin who banned you should have issued you a warning prior-to.

Or at least said admin should make a post here as to why you got banned.

All admins should make a write-up in the chat console as to the reason for the banning. When I issue a ban, I write it up as follows:


@ Banned XX minutes, X count(s) of <offense>.


That way the server administrator can check the console log as to the time and reason for banning of an offense.


Yay for police college training.

Before I ban, I tell them:

<Name>. I'm banning you for <time> for <offense>. Have a nice break/day.

Then I ban immediately after.

I do the same.

Usually over mic though.

I type it out so I can get record of it. Before, I copy the console and paste it onto notepad.

Now, I'm recording demos since 3 days ago. I record at the beginning of round, type sb_status, then "thetime". Now when I make bans, I can say them over the mic then ban.

For some reason I still have records of rounds where nothing happens...I guess it's just so I can look back 10 years later to see how good I was then. lol...

I used to that too, until I learned about condump!


bind "f10" "thetime; ma_version; ma_admins; ma_users; wait; condump; clear"


@Autumn

Using voice to warn them is fine, but you really SHOULD make a write-up for logging purposes. In fact, this should be part of the Admin TOS if it isn't already.

Tip on being a good admin^^.

Besides, the write-up will explain to others why he was banned and possibly act as a deterrence factor.
