Everyone is abusing.

[SpeedRacer]

I don't want to point any fingers because some of these people i've known for a while, but yeah... Sometimes I see admins banning players randomly or for asking simple noob questions. I know this isn't proper format; it's just a little thread to spread awareness about admin abuse. I have many screenshots and demos that i've been saving for a while now and they will be posted if needed. Please people use your powers to help the server not make people quit and join others.

Look, i'll give you some advice. If you want to make a valid case, show some proof. Anybody and everybody can claim this or that, but... really mister boy who cried wolf, nothing will be resolved without evidence.


I don't mean to be a jerk or anything... but what made you think posting a finger pointing thread would be a good idea? Better yet, a telephone finger pointing thread, because the admins or folks here, will have absolutely NO IDEA who the hell you are talking about.

You might as well of said to a cop in the bank, "Yeah, the guys that robbed us were robbers."

As I said, no offense but... c'mon, if you wanted to post a thread that gave people a little insight on the administration, post something productive in the process. If anybody is abusing, it's you with this thread.

I'm the only admin on at this time in the morning, is this me? I would never ban for those reasons, and I don't think in the two times i've been admin that i've banned anyone at all.

No, it's not you. I'm just making a little thread to warn some abusers out there that they should use their powers properly. I know admin abuse happens all the time. Maybe I didn't explain what I wanted to say.

Maybe you could at least specify which server this is happening on?

see, when you post about abuse, you need to cite specific occurences and also come here w/ proof.

screenies, console screenshots, and demos (most preferred)

any action that is required will be carried out at the discrecion of zero

the guy isnt trying to "point any fingers". he wants it out in the open that "people" are watching and to WARN abusers so as to hopefully DETER them from doing anything again. hes not trying to call anyone out and get them in trouble YET.

the thing the OP doesnt realize is that very few admins in this community actually give a shit and most pay for admin as a form of self-defense and also just to be able to abuse.

nahh.. im no too..

[maynard]

why would you make this thread without proof? so all the admins don't like you? this honestly seems like a seriously counter productive move.

OP is right.

Us admins abuse all the time. Someone needs to stop us!

Like you know what's going on at all times?
Maybe an admin banned a cheater? Obviously he wouldn't be stupid enough to announce beforehand that he's spectating someone for doing it.
Maybe he banned someone mic spamming on another team when alltalk wasn't on?
Maybe someone broke a cade who was warned for that crap before?
Or maybe that person was supposed to be banned and somehow was back on the server?

Admins don't have to explain themselves to anyone except to the higher-ups. If you have proof of abuse then just post that crap already otherwise this thread was meaningless; no one will take you seriously if you don't.

[maynard]

this thread should be closed. there's 0 proof 2 his claim, and his claim isn't even directed at any 1....


fail thread.

[Rapedollar$]
