Let us understand exactly what is "going on."
You have been an admin for 1 full day.
i have been an admin going on 2 years.
The way you behaved in the server is counter acting the efforts very few of us are trying to make to ensure ZM is back to the way it used to be. A time you know absolutely nothing about. You arnt buying admin to be void of being kicked or banned, you are buying it because you believe you can make a difference and help maintain server maturity. Your behavior right out of the gate is not behavior that anyone who has been around in the community for awhile now respects. You now have responsibility as a player. Part of those responsibility does not include testing out powers because you can now.
This is the reasoning behind why it is urgent for me to post any thing that comes close to abuse in an effort to ensure new admins (like rob said) know wth they got them selves into.
I have given my rebutle and will contiue to be relevant to this topic and say many of the newer admins come out of ZM. I am more prone to belive that the reason they bother getting admin these days is because they break rules and get fed up with being banned and kicked all the time. These are not people we need being admin. Where will a leader succeed when he has resentment immediatly after gaining power?
Personal reform
sinister you also need to enforce the rules as they are written. not as you want them to be written. zero has been very clear about stuff like racism. just because you "think it's bullshit" does not give you the right to enforce whatever the hell you want.
I fail to see how slapping myself around a map to gain no benefit would be deemed as behaviour that you have been trying to make an effort against. You're no role-model. You seem to constantly be blurting out how people are "idiots" and "fucking retards" over the mic, cursing like a maniac, etc. I really don't care how long you've been admin... it doesn't justify YOUR behaviour.
except that most of them ARE idiots and fucking retards.
you:
-are too quick to ban, and extremely vocal about it
-fight w/ players and then threaten them w/ bans for "admin disrespect" when they speak up
-need to be told multiple times about rules, AND STILL decide to argue about them
-need to cool down.
1. I am not too quick to ban, actually. I give a warning to players first, and if they continue with the misconduct, I ban them for a half hour.
2. I fight with players? I don't fight with players. I simply tell them how it is. I tell them if they don't stop doing what they're doing (providing it is against the rules) that they are getting banned.
3. I wouldn't argue about the rules if they actually made more sense. And, I don't need to be "told" - I know the rules, I just don't agree with some of them. And I'm not the only one, either.
4. I need to cool down? Where are you getting the idea that I'm not chill? I just don't take shit from anybody. That doesn't mean I'm an angry person.
Also, allow me to reiterate. It doesn't justify his actions. Isn't disrespect towards players against the rules on some level? Calling somebody an idiot and a "fucking retard" through the mic isn't very "professional". Sure, I am guilty of it on occasion, but every time Mikey is in the room I hear him shouting and screaming AT SOMEBODY.
