automated server rules

[blackmail242]

Hell this would be better under the servers discussion because I'd love this to be implemented into WCS if it goes to ZM. I figure GG and Pub would also like it :P

No. If they don't know the rules, they can type motd or !rules or check on the forums or the admin present can tell them or the players in the server can tell them as well. Lest they get banned, votebanned, kicked, muted, etc.

The rules are present and available, all spamming chat and console does is desensitize the players that see it all the time and put another programmed burden on the server at the beginning of EVERY round while it's doing the most work as far as rendering goes anyway. Brilliant.

TL;DR If a player doesn't know the rules, tell them. At the very least tell them where to find them, unnecessary programming does not have to be done because you don't feel like doing your duty.

uhhh.. no?

an admin cant / wont always be around to be able to do things like this so it would be a good help for us all imo.

I AM CONSTANTLY and carefully explaining the rules to the ppl in that server on a nightly basis. i am by NO MEANS too lazy to do my duty. if you were to ever go on zm on a night like this one, MAYBE you could more appreciate how extremely insane ppl can get in that server compared to any of the rest. why do you think maynard refers to it as the day care server?

zm could use all the help it can get,.

why? is there not enough spam in ZM for you at is it?

They should be proactive in regards to understanding the rules, we dont need to cater to 1 or 2 whiney adolescents. This all goes hand in hand with or punishment procedure, when a player who dosnt know the rules, breaks them... its the admins job to give warning and inform the player of there misconduct. Not ban them for days and weeks like we have been seeing lately.


edit: also "Pl@y", All talk is a privilege.. not something that is expected, remember.. senior admin or clan dictates whether all talk is or isnt on.

Automated or not people will never really read what is written. most people even when u warn them only understand when u punish them. Example, you warn someone 2 times not to block after those 2 warnings you slay them, then suddenly they ask why they get slayed, i go into debate with them and mostly they don't do it again.

if thats youre idea of helpful input then just stop right there because you have no idea what goes on in that server anyways. i dont hand out any unearned bans at all, and when i do ban someone its RARELY ever days at a time so call out the idiot admins that ARE doing that instead of lecturing me. I DONT see any excessive bans by me "lately"

and why are you going on about all talk being "a privilege that clan or senior admin dictates"? last time i checked alltalk was preset in some of if not all of the other servers already anyways NOT TO MENTION i cant ever recall the last time alltalk was ever set to 0 in that server accept for times when there just wasnt any admin in there to change it, but oh wait you wouldnt know anything about that because you dont have any idea what happens in there

banes & melts posts are the only ones so far that im actually paying attention to. o hey thats because theyre both zm regs and actually know what goes on in there. so in responce to both of your posts; yes it does seem like just a bit more spam for ppl to ignore and i can see how it could potentially just clutter up the server and possibly lag it. it was an idea i had and i wanted to suggest it. so if anyone else has any alternative ideas relivent to the topic that doesnt involve just telling the admins to just do their jobs right, then please id love to hear them.

since its being forgotten repeatedly:

ie; explain the rules to someone, punish people for breaking them, setting alltalk to 1 - this thread post has nothing to do with how effective zm admins are. more to the point that there just arent many at all to actually DO these things. i could count on 1 hand how many admins are there on a regular basis (and actually do the job) THATS WHY I OFFERED A SUGGESTION

Dont flatter yourself, my post was in no way directed at you.

Furthermore, before SM, all talk was an issue in regards to it being turned on and off by who ever felt like it. I sure as hell dont remember you being around then.....

also, i never disagreeded with your idea, i just dont think it can be applied without consequences to the server.

you get so bitchy when people disagree with you
