Times have changed, Mallissin. I used to play a lot last year, during the pooter era. At first, like you, I didn't enjoy the changes made to the server...especially when the mute feature in CSS didn't work anymore. As I continued to play more, made new friends, and re-united with old IBIS members, it's not as bad anymore because I *ADAPT*. CSS servers can be compared to life: things are always changing. You can't bring back what has happened in the past.
To sum up, get with the times, Mallissin. You're a great player (at least a real good zombie), but don't be the asshole no one enjoys by picking fights with them because it isn't what it used to be.
All admins thus far have contributed their fair share in administering justice to those that deserve it. Of course if you ask for proof, I cannot produce them because it happens so instantaneous that it is nearly impossible to reproduce that exact moment. Much like how you claim you have all these demos of admin abuse. Sure, you may have witnessed them, but it's a little hard to rewind the past and record it all over again. Only way I see it is to record demos for every round you play.
Inthebutt was probably the most active admin ever prior to his hiatus. Sure, he has made some mistakes but they were forgivable. He was a hard admin who was pretty strict. He not only punished players for breaking rules, but he even reminded the admins that they had responsibility and told them, at appropriate times, to cease the playful admin abusing (drugging, blinding, slapping, freezing, etc) and he would settle map change issues. He was quite the effective admin whenever he played. I had the feeling most players were intimidated by him, therefore being so well behaved.
Holy Shazbot was probably the first person I encountered that were strict with the rules, probably moreso than inthebutt (I imagine he inspired inthebutt to be strict also). Despite coming in quite rarely, he becomes quite efficient in reminding players what to do and what not to do. He pretty much has one of the best attention to detail that I've experienced. From witnessing cade breakers to even player's names, which are deemed inappropriate, he warns them to act accordingly. I don't mean he is super old or something, he's one of the wise elders in IBIS.
During their time as admins, I've never notice any major admin abuse topics that are produced against them. It means they are doing a superb job. That's my opinion on this subject as I'm pretty bored at the moment. Mallissin, just claim your faults, drop the subject, get back into owning players.
P.S. I believe Turtles has died since he isn't replying much anymore. I'm gonna miss his turtle humping video.
