My zombie mod rant and departure

[Vladninja]

Look Eth I understand and agree... but what do we do!?!

I for one wil not abandon IBIS... I will stick with it. I have faith that all these admins not paying for admin anymore will send a clear message to Zero.

I plan on getting Admin soon (sorry know Ive said that before but in college... need money) to take the server back for fair players and if that gets my admin rights taken away so be it. I cant play between 5am and 10pm cause the amount of server breaking noobs is to much and the admin abuse section seems to have led to admins not wanting to use thier powers...

But we as players have a choice... stick with IBIS... reach out to Zero for changes... or leave...

It makes me so sad to see so many of my friends leaving IBIS... We have to take it back. It is time for revolution. We the "Regulars/fans" made IBIS what it is... this is our server as much as Zero's... lets work with Zero to fix the problem and get things back the way they need to be... rather than abandoning our favorite server!!! Can I get an Amen!?!

Zero, maybe a new rule on those question votes? Their getting severely out of hand.

Btw, id like to point out the fact that I read eth's entire post and the funniest part is where he say one of the admins he respected was Pooter, lmao.

That kid hasn't used his admin since he bought it

Hey eth...

Dude, by far this is my favorite thread, it's 100% correct and it needs to STOP.

And rod, it doesnt mean your a bad admin if people are breaking the rules, and banning them on the spot, when they come in the server, there is the motd, that should be there warning.

This random slapping of admins, sometimes funny, but not needed. if you need something funny, get off the server and go find something to do. I am also with you eth, these random noobs come up to your cade and what do they do?...they throw a nade right in it, like you said they don't have a clue what to do in zombie mod.

I think a way we can prevent this is, put once you join the server, put the motd and you have to say " i accept these rules, to play in this server." So when they do something wrong, a admin can take action, without giving them 20 warnings.

I hope the admins take this for real, because us people that WANT to play zombie mod correct are counting on you.

I don't go to the ZM server for all those reasons. I get into disputes with these noob ass amdins who don't give a rats fuck about fair play. instead of just banning them, I leave.

Eth,

Honestly, I have to say, in one stance, I agree, but on the other side of the wall I have to disagree.

I'll start with my disagreement. Cade breaking, etc. It's ZM. Sometimes, ya get wrapped up a bit trying to set up a cade yourself or trying to get to your spot or what have you. MM1 isn't what sparks my attention, I try to pay attention to it, but honestly, because I have a mic, it's my first instinct to hear and note what's going on, or simply see what's going on right in front of me. As for others breaking cades and etc, if it was you that would say it, yes, I'd definitely throw out some disciplinary action. As for others? There are some people that just make asinine statements "Oh, so and so broke my cade." How do I know he did or didn't? Can I, or the other admins, just go from that simple statement and kick or freeze or what else simply from another players testimony?

Middle of round votes, although annoying, can sometimes be useful. If someone in my mind sticks out as a little annoying and heavy on mic usage, a vote to see what others thinks is a decent way of finding out whether or not they should be muted. Hell, a vote sometimes is a plain enough warning for them to shut the fuck up.

As for being afraid of using admin, honestly, look at my record. I wasn't afraid at first. I had 3 different people make reports that I was being biased and an asshole (although, in my opinion, they were proven untrue). Wouldn't you take some note to yourself to not be so heavy on admin usage?

Believe it or not bud, there are other admins who do care about the users' and the servers' state.




My agreement: I have seen some people state their cades are broken. But as I said before, how can I be certain, unless I was to witness it or spectate the carnage that occurs from it?

The votes are fucking getting redundant. There are several admins, and I won't name names simply because I can't be sure as to which one of the 3 or 4 new admins that I've seen make votes. I was in the server a few nights ago, and within one fucking round, there were at least 4 votes made. I cancelled every fucking one of them, to which I get bitched at by some users and the admin that did it at the time. There's no fucking reason to make stupid shit votes. And that's all those were. If I see them again and have to cancel them again, Zero, you'll see the PM from me.

Fear of using admin: Some people don't use it from fear. Understandably. It's a little bit of a bitch to pay the money for it only to have it taken away, whether its at the beginning, duration, or end of your term. Like I said, though. For awhile I wasn't. Muting people for stupid bullshit arguments or for mic spamming wasn't a problem in my mind. Until people started posting and crying and bitching about it. In my complete opinion, however, some of you shouldn't have fucking bothered subscribing for admin. You either a)don't use it or b) use it for stupid shit or use it simply for amusement. Instead, you perhaps meant to click "Donations!".

A post like this is necessary to let Zero, as well as the admins, know that the users are somewhat disconcerted with the activities going on in the server. Honestly, we should thank you for being the ballsy one to put out an aggressive input like this. But it's no reason to say good bye, bro. Please reconsider.

And Project: lol. I saw him use it the other day to mute some dipshit spamming away.

Eth,
A post like this is necessary to let Zero, as well as the admins, know that the users are somewhat disconcerted with the activities going on in the server.

I agree and have to say this is true for about 80% (at the very min.) of those who have played ZM more than 4 hours on IBIS...
