RofLoLmao Admin Abuse

[sup]

Taking away SB access entirely is a terrible idea whether people have been abusing it or not. I've made a mistaken ban a few times and corrected it through SB. Or I'll issue a short ban to get rid of a trouble player and then check his history on SB and edit the ban accordingly. I've nailed a few repeat offenders this way with a much longer (and completely deserved) ban than I would have given them if I was just temp banning or slaying/kicking to immediately stop them from cade breaking or whatever.

All this stuff about admin powers being limited because a few people abuse or misuse them is bullshit. First it was slap (which is just a novelty so I don't care that much), then yesterday Scrib told me that we're gonna lose the senior rule and admins won't be able to manually change the map (because a certain faggot doesn't respect other admins or players and abuses his reserved slot to sit in spec indefinitely), and now SB access is being removed too? What does that even leave for regular admins? Kicking and banning (but only in-game)? A few worthless commands like /csay and an admin skin? Where's the value in that relative to the price of admin?

I know clan is discussing this stuff privately but I sure hope we have some kind of public discussion too before you guys go and take away 90% of the reason most of us pay for admin in the first place.

Couldn't have said it better.

Sourcebans modification is meant for other issues. It's the same deal without tag if you are active in server at the time for this simple shit. Everyone's admin through sourcebans is about to be limited because of you fucks trying every way to skate around the rules and trying to bypass responsibility for your actions. Real niggerish shit going on lately.

Sourcebans is meant for other issues? The whole point of sourcebans is to BAN. Hence, the word "ban" in sourcebans.

If these things are the only reason someone buys admin then good riddance to them.
