Admin Only Section

[loka]

What the hell do you need help with? Commands? Google.com. Need to find something? Search tab is up there I see. OR You can send ZERO a PM. I find that is the most effective way of getting my issue resolved.

Jesus Christ you people write a lot.

+1 Agree with Christmas, -1 Disapprove of Tragedy's idea. Admins and regularly are both an integrated part of the community so it would be redundant.

+1 to sticky help guides and procedures.

You really aren't adding anything by degrading others in this thread. We actually have some intelligent discourse going on, and we don't need you to ruin it with comments tinged with such awful sarcasm.

IBIS is really one of the few places where I've been where admins aren't actually apart of the clan and undergo no screening process before assuming the responsibilities of adminship. Then again, I'm relatively new to steam-based communities so that's on me. I've led guilds with anywhere from 50 tightly organized members to hundreds of members and you're right, there is always a group of players at the top who make the decisions and delegate out said decisions to the rest of the group.

My argument is that the benefit of having a private forums for admins would outway the work required to do so. At the very least, having a private place where new admins can ask dumb questions or admins can confront admins on abuse, away from the prying eyes of the greater community would be very convenient in my opinion. Likewise, not all admins have the mani admin command list bookmarked, or have an idea of where to look on how, exactly, to record a demo of a hacker, or what to look for before permanently banning members of the community. It's better to simply have one place where you can go for all of those things.

And hell, the Admin Help sub-forum could simply act as a launching point for the area. Also, if I remember correctly, Zero was at one point going to put a private admin-only section of the forums in ANYWAYS. I think it may still be on his docket.

Actually it wasn't sarcasm. I was super cereal. Anyways, welcome to steam communities. Not the first place where admins were given admin with $$ and no application. It's actually 11 bucks a month to support the server not just for admin. Half of the admins didn't even bother to check the forums on their abuse. They would READ about it, but never bothered to check or defend aka I know I did something wrong, but I don't care. I don't care and I don't care to defend my actions.

Secondly, your only looking for trouble on a section full of flame wars. Not "admin help" or anything like that. Whose going to police the admin thread? Regular admins? Or clan members? Can't be regular admins because then you'll have people crying about why they aren't forum admin on that section. Then initially if someone deleted a post, people would start crying much like they already do. In case you haven't noticed, a good percentile of this community are admins. You want an area? Create a steam community.

Thirdly, the area your talking about got debunked after a forum glitch.

^^the highest ranking admins and clan members can moderate this section. ZERO said he is about to give admins rank levels and the highest will have multiple privlidges that none of the others will have...and this can be one of them. I mean shit, there are like 10+ admins that are on the forums constantly throughout the day. I'm sure this part of the forum will be used very often. And who said it was just going to be a flame war? I think it will be a great area to access help, admin commands, discuss abuse, discuss regulars, people we need to watch, people we should convince to get admin (muahaha), and a shit load more.

Have fun. You have clan members telling you no. Bad idea. End of story.

Loka, I happen to know the commands thanks. I was making a point. Oh noes, 2 clan members said they don't think it should happen...that means it SHOULDN'T HAPPEN RIGHT?! Because clan members run this place right? The dozen other ppl who said yes don't mean shit right? Fucking think before you speak.

I really don't see how this can hurt anyone. Some of you might have a negative outlook towards it but when you think about it, it really CAN'T hurt anyone or anything to have this done. get it through your skulls.

I don't like half the admins Tragedy. AKA Flame war. Start a steam community if your really that concerned. I don't want to be part of an "admin" section. I rather people discuss my "shitty admin ways" out in the open or ask me questions about a command directly. Not indirectly and hidden.

Christmas, NYS, ITB, and myself, and others, are telling you why this is a dumb idea.


Give it up already and stop being a dead horse.

If you want to have a "disguise party" you can do it in a Steam chat, or if you know what IRC is, get a client and join a channel with other IBIS clan members.

In fact, having an IRC channel for IBIS gaming would be a great idea.

I propose that we use EFnet!

and multiple are saying it is a good idea. Why do you find it necessary to repeat yourself when you already said it was a bad idea? You stated your opinion. The purpose of the rest of us repeating ourselves is because we are trying to make it work. Why are YOU repeating yourself? Would it bother you if there was such a thing on the forums? Nope. Being a dead-horse? Does that even make sense? I'm going to assume you meant "beating". Anyway...it's not a dead horse. A few people don't like it...and a few people do. This thread hasn't even been up for 24 hours, it's not a dead horse until ZERO says it is.

Okay, well I'm sure half of the admins don't like you as well. Hell I don't like half of them but I don't bash them. I know Fireye and myself have never had any issues with you before yet you come in here and BAM, whip out some attitude along with your responses and opinions.

If you don't want to be a part of it, then don't. Who cares? It would be for the people that would care to use it. Oh, and no one would be talking about you "indirectly or hidden" since you would technically have access to the admin only forums...lawlawlawl.

[loka]

lol. That's the problem. It's an opinion that goes against your idea, not attitude. Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks. I don't like your idea. Get over it. I will in 2 seconds.
