    I didn't use rcon, and I only used low grav on certain escape maps, by typing !admin, selecting 1.players and then finding 9. gravity, and choosing a player.

    Thanks Joker, that's the answer I was looking for, though so far I've been shot to the very top of maps and never went into oblivion. Most escape maps also seem to have tons of invisible barriers that prevent even being shot to the top of the map. Again i was able to be shot to the top of the map because I allowed myself to have low grav as a zed. But as I stated in my original post, i never let players be a zombie with low grav. So it's a non issue. Players also know that if they delay a map they will be slayed for not doing the objective.

    @I'm a zambi
    Sorry couple low grav with parachutes? Doesn't work. You can only have one or the other, unless you probably use the rcon command? but i don't. I've been using low grav all week before money told me not too (As i said i stopped when i was told to by a higher admin) but the server didn't get restarted lol, and doesn't seem buggy so i dunno. whatever.

    The rules are in place so that the game is fun, and the objectives are met, if using admin powers doesn't interfere with these two things, then I am not really in violation of any rule. There is no written rule that states don't low grav players (as far as i am aware). If you believe i didnt follow the ToS or someone thinks I am abusing, its within your rights of course or zeros rights to take my 11 dollars and remove admin or ban me. I am not someone who is afraid of that or anything.

    Thanks for clearing everything up though guys. In the sense that I understand no one wants me to use it, so i wont, but i haven't necessarily seen any good reason why its harmful. But your server, your rules.

    It's very simple don't use gravity, many of us have already stated that it causes issues with the server.

    Using admin privileges for fun is not tolerated and will result in you getting them restricted or lost completely.

    Be very careful with your admin privileges, and it dose not hurt to ask if you are unsure of something.

    You clearly do not read the rules do you.

    • Admins may not use commands excessively oneself (EX. slapping)
    • Using the slap command to get an unfair advantage
    • Changing the gravity settings (Unless reverting back to normal gravity of 800)
    • Unrestricting restricted weapons (see Restricted weapons section)
    • Turning players into freeze bombs/firebombs against players consent
    • Admin chat should be reserved to convey messages to players and other admins. Do not abuse it.
    • Obsessively beaconing a barricading group.
    • If beacons start lagging up the server, issue no more than one per cade. (No mass beaconing)
    Directly from ZM rules -- http://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/sho...-Zm-Rules-v3-1
    It clearly states not to mess with the gravity, unless changing it back to 800.

    Any admin caught messing with gravity will be having a long talk from me.
