ZM Server Dying??

[inthebutt]

do you guys wanna know why this is happening??

cause all you fucking idiots where complaining about me instant banning people for a week with no warnings. well you guys got your wish I canceled my admin and decided to see if the current batch of admins could do better.

obviously the current admins are not doing a very good job if the past weeks have been constant cade breaking, blowing up of bridges while humans are still on it, zteleing and mic spamming.

you guys wanted to be nice and play fair with idiots and now look at where the ZM server is. its full of little kids and idiots playing now.

also on a side not ZM is not going anywhere, its still ranked in the top 10 of all ZM servers on CS:S. just cause you don't see people in there now doesn't mean its dying. ZERO is right alot of people are busy with school right now, finals are about 3 weeks away is what I'm hearing.

instead of complaining that the ZM server is dying or what not do something about it. enforce the rules more heavily cause its been way to chill in there. strict admins are better admins than those who rather sit there and warn people.

I never made any mention of there being people cade breaking and blowing bridges, etc CONSTANTLY. They are both rare occurrences. Normally all it takes is freezing the player and explaining to them what they did or a short-term ban to make an example of someone who blows a bridge on purpose too early. Then the rest of the night is usually pretty quiet.

Besides, I don't know many (if ANY) players who break the rules on purpose. Most are just trying to play the game and end up making a mistake because they don't know any better.

Current admins are doing just fine, as far as I've seen.

bears are you a fucking blind moron??

everyday people still complain to me about why I don't buy my admin back and come deal with cade breakers and people who ZTELE.

it is constant and either it doesn't happen to you or you just don't see it or hear about it. but it is happening on a daily basis.

I've stopped playing for about 2 months now and its gonna stay that way until the admins in ZM shape up and become more strict and less lenient to rule breakers

It would be fine if it wasn't laggy as fuck.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Don't insult me. It's not becoming on you. I'm not blowing smoke up anyones ass, etc. I'm not a fucking blind moron, etc, etc.

That being said, I speak directly from experience I've had on the server recently. Make your way to the server during the times I play. Until then, you have no way to speak for anything related to the server and no way to speak to my experiences.

Thanks for your opinion.

How about ZM is getting boring to other people. I am engulfed with Dragon Age and minigames. If IBIS got a minigames server, it would be fun. But for me ZM got boring around October. That and too many little kids... which I detest.

If you think ZM is dying then you are stupid.

The only problem is when it rarely crashes

I don't know what issues you guys are having on the server since i haven't played there in a long time but if you are having lag issues with the higher player base i would increase the "maxrate" to 50000 on the server end if players are currently matching it and still getting lag. Most likely most players do not have there rate setting high enough to handle players aka the default setting, i suggest putting an advert to tell people to set there rate correctly. I don't know the servers bandwidth but a good tool just to make sure the system can handle the load is http://test.realchamp.dk/bandwidth/math.php If the issue is still going on and the cpu load is not high i would contact your dedicated provider and see if they placed caps on your transfer rate.

The above suggestion will only help if you have the bandwidth and your issue is not cpu or ram related. The other option i suggest if you are still having issues with lag is instead of using windows use the linux version of srcds and recompile the linux kernal to be more efficient for srcds.

Good luck with your issues.

I don't enjoy the ZM server because the last 5 times or so that I've gone in there you just hear Mic Spam, He/She broke my cade, OMG WTF ZTELE, who blew up the bridge?!?!

and I hear it over and over and over again...and if I am the only admin in there or if there is just like one other, you can't really have too much fun if you do what an admin is supposed to do and fix those problems.

You gotta figure out who is doing what, hopefully lock a demo on some of it...and pay close attention to all of that shit instead of just having a good ol' time.
