rejoining

[slipstream]

What's the ruling on someone dying right away then rejoining really quickly to come back alive? I would assume this would warrant a short ban no? I have a demo of relliknub doing just this, and it's not the first time he has done it either, he usually does it in the morning (EST timezone) when no admins are on obviously.

I would ban for that, technically you are using an exploit to bring yourself back.

that shouldn't work. zspawn only works if you spawn late, but it checks to see if you have already played that round

Uhhh isn't this about gungame and not zombiemod...? o_O

...

YES IT IS

sorry. i opened several tabs and was reading alot of zm stuff, then clicked over to this tab and didn't notice it was a gg topic.

BUT I STILL STAND BY IT!! zspawn still wouldn't work, no matter the server

I would ban someone for maybe 10-30 minutes for this, and if they did it again I would ban for a day. Put the demo up, and if he does it again I'll ban him, just steam message me or another admin/clan member.

That is CLEARLY stated in the rules as a bannable offense.

[maynard]

what it warrants is a warning... if continued, you can then ban

[Penis シ]

Truth, but on gg, the motd rules also say not to glitch/exploit.

In all honesty, I think that this should be outright nipped if somebody thinks they're sly.

But unless there is a revised ruling, I'll warn/slay/kick/ban.

[maynard]

someone breaking the rules doesn't mean you get 2 ban them right away motd or not, a warning still needs 2 be issued, and they need 2 be told what they're doing wrong. the only time you ban people with 0 warning is when they are hacking.

most people don't read MOTD's and don't know the rules, or even have a clue they are doing something wrong most the time, hence why if we warn, there's always the possibility the person will stop doing whatever it is their doing wrong.

[Penis シ]

As I said, I'll follow format.


Haven't issued a temp ban yet, and rarely even get to the slay part.

[maynard]

I know.... was saying for people in general and for the person who made the thread as people not warning has started 2 become an issue....

[Steamer]

The only time you ban people with 0 warning is when they are hacking.

This needs to be put in bold right at the top of TOS... -_- TOS is also hard to find... I always go to Admin Help to read it, when it is really in Admin Abuse section...

Yesterday I watched someone get banned for 2 weeks with little warning. Worse part is it was the dudes first ban.

Also rejoining very fast does sometimes let you come back alive and well(In GG).

relliks been playing on the server long enough to know better, he knows the rules. i remember the first time he did this, then i even seen another person doing it while on nade level, so they get 2 nades, rush in nade, die, rejoin and throw 2nd nade.

anyway demo
This is the Demo (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QGCBS9TW)
I am the one to kill him, then he rejoins, and then sharpie kills him a bit later. Only 4min long total, but the rejoining happens pretty quickly. Also notice that I even say that I'm recording. So it goes to show how much he cares about the rules.

-edit-
Changed the link to the demo, now it is red.

[maynard]

you don't need 2 record anything as it will be a temp ban.... as ive already said... warn him... if he does it again, ban him. simple.

there is no "oh well he's been here a while so I don't need 2 warn him" situation

[slipstream]

He does this a lot, and I am pretty sure he has been warned before about this, quite a while back, like more than a year ago. So you can imagine how often he really does this.

[maynard]

I could careless what he was warned about a year ago. if you want 2 ban him, warn him first, this is not optional.
