Yes Nomination and RTV were both disabled. Commands didn't work. Not making it up. Not here to get people 'punished' or i would have listed names of the map changers etc. NOT sure who did it, or which admin was on, i already forgot what day it was, but it was just a few days ago. Just letting you know it did happen.

My ban was for less than 30 minutes, so not as big a deal, was more curious on peoples thoughts. Through inference, i gathered that talking back is one way to get banned, as that was the reason given before i was banned. But pretty much i was banned for having a different opinion on a rule. But yeah it's not important enough for an abuse ticket. Thanks for the information though.

In the future if i do want to provide proof for anything. Isn't there server logs? Wouldn't i just need exact time an event happened? i don't use a mic currently. Otherwise for in game proof i suppose i would use a video recorder.

How is senior admin determined? First admin logged in? Or longest time as an admin? Or is it a promoted/given position?

Rtv and nominate have been know to fail before I have seen it and all it takes is a mapchange to fix. Senior is chosen by time on the server, unless a clan member (has <ibis> as tag not <ibis.a>) comes on which would cause them to be the senior admin. As to the constant map changing, when does this happen? Sure I may not play as much as I used to, but I pop my head in every few days but I rarely see any admin use powers to change the map, rapidly or not.

Also zm maps will forever be superior to ze maps.

Yes, the first. Senior admin is the admin who connects to the server first and thus the admin that has been in-server the longest. It is not based on whether you have had an older admin subscription. In the case of after-a-map-change and the occasional server crash, the previous senior admin retains his/her privilege. Sometimes, a senior admin may delegate this privilege to another. Admins who have been afk for a while lose it and the next admin in line obtains it. Clan members may also claim senior admin rights when they play, if they so wish.

It can't hurt to save a personal account of things imo, but Source TV records demos 24/7: http://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/sho...Links-to-Demos
The map names, dates, and times (in EST I think, haven't used it in a while) are all listed from oldest (top) to newest (bottom). Should be noted that old demos are deleted over time, and you should not expect to find demos older than 5 days.

In the case that a user is actually "talking back" and not trying to sort things out, punishment typically scales: warning, short mute/gag, longer mute/gag or kick, and then ban if the user persists. That's how I did it anyway.

From my experience, rtv and nominate can be rather fickle, and as Blackout said, will fail at times. I don't have a large sample size to base this off of, but I think that if an admin sets the next map in queue, either through vote or console command, rtv and nomination will not work. That is why I like to find out what maps people want to play next and then use a set map, change map, or map vote command when the map nears ending, rather than deciding and setting what everyone will play next before round one ends.
