order in the court

[Rosie]

The rules that normally are cried about in ZM, are cadebreaking, and blocking. Using the unofficial rule that if I do not seee it I will not punish; if I do review the demo and see that said player broke a cade. Do you want me to slay him at that point? It is like training a dog. If you catch them doing something, punish them swiftly and let it go. If you punish at a later time they will not know what they did wrong. If a admin witnesses a rule being broken, and does nothing, then we have a problem. But you cannot punish on someones word. Admins are suppose to police the servers without prejudice. If you listen to one persons word, then you have to listen to everyone.

@crazyhorse,

Listen, I'm in the GG server a LOT. I see you there and you're fun to play with, but honestly, if I don't see something happen, I can't do anything about it.

If someone tells me about something, I'll attempt to witness it, but it doesn't always happen again. But what you're saying about "what good are admins if players have to blah blah blah". Let me explain something to you.


ALL of our admins are regular players that stepped up to help our servers, hell, I played here a LONG time before I took that step. BUT if a player is not willing to stand up for themselves, how can you expect an admin to?

I scour demos of suspected hackers, offer input when available or necessary, and take action when I can, but if you can't take the time from YOUR day to say "hey, he was team killing me, watch him" or to make a brief thread about said player, how do you expect anyone else to do it for you? Do you expect your roommate to clean your room because it's part of the house and you pay enough rent as it is? Or do you step up and contribute to the house and community you stand in?

I did this because I was tired of not seeing enough done to preserve my community, and I expect every person that takes it as their own to do the same, complaining that because someone else has stepped up and you haven't but they haven't stepped up enough is hypocritical.

TL;DR If someone isn't around, find someone, if you can't find someone, make the thread and don't whine about it. If someone is around, type in admin chat to them (team speak button: default is "u" then the @ symbol then your message) and if they don't take action, talk to another admin or post on our forums about them.
