Whats with all the sudden adding of inactive players in the zm stats?

[Jeimuzu]

I thought I was making a difference with the cade breakers and stuff...when I hear cade breaking, I immediately head to spectate, view the victim and deal with the cade breaker accordingly (i.e. freeze [if they throw a grenade, 1 day ban], bans, so forth). I realize now even though if I take out as many cade breakers as I possibly can, there will still be more noobs out there that cade breaks because they don't know the rules or lack common sense. Most of the cade breakers out there aren't assholes who do it intentionally. They just need to learn some proper ettiquette about spots that have been caded already.

Which is why if you want to prevent people from cade breaking to get in your cade or throw a lousy nade, you need to start using a MIC. I can admit that the more intimidating players are the ones with a mic that is commanding (or at least a lovable voice that people can enjoy...like that guy with the midget voice that came into the server about a year ago when I played...LOL).

I understand that not all of them do it on purpose, which is why I usually just froze them and talked to them for a moment to try and teach them if they started messing things up despite asking them to stop on mic and in chat. However, there are those (like the one last night who destroyed my barricade to be an @$$hole) that do deserve to be banned. You are helping Hobo, but you can't be on 24/7, especially the time that I play the most. (1-4 am)

Come to think of it though, I once joined a server which showed the rules the second you joined. And to continue playing, you had to hit 9 to go to the next page, and press 2 to accept the rules, otherwise you would be kicked. That would probably keep a few idiots out. I mean hell, it kept me out, I didn't know what the heck it was XD..

don't get me wrong, i love to cade. But i would much rather be bored then logged off for the night pissed off because people keep breaking cades or doing stupid stuff. People will purposely get tagged and screw over everyone in the room. I don't remember this being a problem last summer, yet it's been a giant problem since i started playing again last month.

There's a reason why you don't hear me talk in the zm server. I use my mic all the time in other servers, but you'll never hear me talk in the zm server. I simply get too frustrated and i'd just spend the entire time bitching at people.

Get a handful of good admins to control all the idiots in the server and i'll never tube or vent camp.

ooooh! Pick me!! Im on all the time!!!

[Jeimuzu]

Pick me too! I'm on all the time! I have no life!

[THE HOLY SH**T!]

I love the [IBIS 13373] tag, it was based on the time you played in the server.

So it gave me a better understanding who to cade with. If i saw [IBIS NOOB] I would be like, shit i'm not cading with these fags and so on... The system did work good. The more time you play the server, the better you should be at the game.

It was like...

[IBIS NOOB]
[IBIS REGULAR]
[IBIS SPECIAL]
[IBIS MASTER]
[IBIS 13373]

something like that, it was fun times.

Anyway, if theirs a problem going on in the ZM just pm me, and if im on ill come deal with the ass hole.

james is right, the admins can't be on all the time. there has to be someway to make people accept the rules and read them before they join. it might seem like a hassle to get in the server but it could really keep all the people who want to cause trouble out. granted that there is nothing anyone of us can do to keep a trouble maker out.

[Jeimuzu]

You both do a good job at keeping the rule breakers down to a minimum Inthebutt and Holy, so I do appreciate it sincerely, along with all the other admins which keep the server running smoothly. Just wish I could stay as an admin to help out though.

Another thing that would help is the votemute, and an addition of votekick, and/or voteban. Though the voteban may only be 5 minutes to an hour probably. If you do decide to add this then make the numbers 1 and 2 count as nothing, and to answer yes or no it would be 3 or 4. '>.> Damn one and two pressers.

And I'll be messaging Zero about the clan tags, as you suggested Holy. Maybe he'll decide to add them back. I know you, Hobo, Inthebutt, and maybe 5 other people should have the 131337 tag, it would almost be like saying, "Listen to them, they know as much as the admins."

I also ask that no one closes this thread any time soon, a lot of good ideas are coming to the surface here.

[QUOT people should have the 131337 tag, it would almost be like saying, "Listen to them, they know as much as the admins."[/QUOTE]

I liked the tags.. I would watch players with higher tags longer before punishment, with which I could determine warrant before acting on before some that wouldn't deserve b/c I just didn't know them. im a pretty good judge of character but it certainly was helpful for me.

I believe it was actually:

[IBIS Noob]
[IBIS Fan]
[IBIS Regular]
[IBIS Specialist]
[IBIS Master]
[IBIS 31337]

oh...those were the good ol days.

I knew i was a little off, thanks.

Yeh i was the 2nd one to reach 10 days of zombie mod playing time.

Killa b though had like 50 days of total time...something like that... it blew my mind i had like 22? lol...

anyways i like the ideas jeiz is having.

But i like the old tags, for how much time you've been in the ZM.

[Vladninja]

I miss the old tags to... It made me want to just play on IBIS so I could get my time rank up and not be such a noob.
I remember when I finally got my [IBIS 31337] rank. It felt so great... the tag was a little thing but such a great reward for playing on the server.

They were great and I continued to use mine for some time but new admins started getting bitchy that we would be confused with admins.... LOL oh well.
