Admin Abuse by Kamikazii

[Chef C Green]

but 12 people under the stage on tx_highschool is just absurd when there's not so much as a single newb poking their head out ready to be tagged

Just for the record, with all these spots (highschool and miniature room as I mentioned), there are ways of getting in there OTHER than just crouching through the entrance. Example: Parachuting off of higher objects (shelves on miniature, boxes on highschool) to get a bit further in AND surprise players before they can shoot you out. Training zombies is also effective, though hard to get the team together I'll give you that. My point is, there are ways to defeat even a 12-person clusterfuck under there, which is probably why these spots have not ALREADY been limited and put on the rules updates.

If that's the case I don't want to call them out on it because they are some of the nicer admins and I've only ever seen it employed to make games fair that simply aren't otherwise. But in terms of who the rule is to be fair towards, here is a recent post from Zero on the topic:
"This is covered under the existing rule that states all cades that are impossible for a zombie to ever break are illegal."

I'm definitely not great at zmod - pretty sure my KDR is still under 1.00 - but I know even the really well-built cades can be broken so it's certainly not about fairness to incompetent zombies - but 12 people under the stage on tx_highschool is just absurd when there's not so much as a single newb poking their head out ready to be tagged - if the hole were open then sure, it would be fair because there would still be a chance for the zombies, but with a box lodged in the hole it is not coming out so the only opening is a crouch spot in the corner. If I'm wrong on this I certainly won't try to stop it if I see it again though.

The point I was trying to make was just because its hard doesn't mean it should be illegal. Try learning how to b-hop-crouch-jump into crouched areas. Develope that skill.

Limiting people in generic couched areas is something that will never happen.

Parachuting off of higher objects (shelves on miniature, boxes on highschool) to get a bit further in AND surprise players before they can shoot you out.

This!


I'll review the demo when I get back from work.

At the end of the day, don't make up rules and enforce them. I find it hard to believe that you are 100% innocent, not just in this specific matter but rather, in general in the whole scheme of things. To have built up so much hate and animosity for your self in such short time should not be somthing that goes unchecked. Remember, your behaviour reflects your self, this community, and our players and the player seems to be Fed up.

There was no reason soda should have been slayed at all. And if the old rule of 2 per opening per crouch was in effect it would be 2 not 4.

How the hell would you even know the first 4 in. Even with the old case in rules, if you didn't see the first people in you couldn't slay. There is a reason that was removed. It caused more problems than necessary. As an admin you are suppose to know and read the rules as part of the TOS. This is clearly abuse or a very bad misunderstanding of rules in Chefs demo, yet you play enough to were you should know.... I think someone got asshurt. As for the OP, can't make a call on that.

you're making up rules and enforcing them, hence your actions are admin abuse.

I don't believe for even a second that you honestly thought more than 4 people couldn't be under the stage on highschool... I think you're just getting mad at certain cades/hiding spots and use admin 2 break them up when they piss you off and play dumb.

you're on ZM far 2 much 2 be that ignorant towards the rules... either way.

you're clearly in the wrong here given you're making up rules and enforcing them...

closed as like the other thread will be dealt with via clan section.

After reviewing the cases this admin has been removed. I have unbanned the player so they can join the servers again. As long as their admin subscription is active they will get a reserved slot.

The admin was already on probation and showed no signs of improvement in behavior. These blatant and repeated abuses deem it necessary to remove admin. It is possible that you may regain the ability to use admin at a later date if you demonstrate that you have better learned the server rules and improve your behavior.

It is unfortunate that this admin did not get the idea when they were placed on probation and it had to come to this. Hopefully in time this player can demonstrate that they deserve another chance and will prove that they can be a good admin.

Thank you to all the admins and players who have worked hard in reporting abuse. I know these things can be very frustrating but it is important that we are able to separate real and repeated abuse from people crying about getting banned.
