How should administrators act?
« on: January 10, 2007, 03:34:31 am »
Good news, people, to those of you who care(yay, a-4-year-old ;)). I got my computer up and running again, which means I'll be returning to playing soldat again shortly. I'm thinking of getting back into the server admining scene, so look out for any realistic servers soon.

Anyway, what I really meant to ask, who do you guys think of banning, and how do you do it? I mean, what do you think is nescessary for a person to be banned?
I used to be quite harsh on me ol' CE clan server. I would ban everyone who put up racial issues, who got a warning for anything and didn't follow up on it and such. I quite frankly took no crap from anyone.
In your opinion, what should be done?
What's fair? I know it's your own server, but nevermind that. How should admins behave?

Thanks,

Hackers should be banned without warning. As for anything else...I think the good old "Three Strikes" rule is good enough. 1st time is a warning, 2nd time its a suspension, 3rd time...goodbye Vienna....

that was always kinda what I was going for as well, but somehow people seem to think they can bargain about it. You need to be steadfast(?) in your decisions when it comes to soldatens, that's for sure..

I used to ban people from my server for admin abuse. Banning hackers goes without saying...
Or if someone was annoying me, and the rest of the people in the server, I'd usually boot him for an hour or two to give him time to clam down.

hackers get banned without warning.

Just about anything else gets a warning (and sometimes a /kill if they're doing something stupid).  After that is a kick if they keep it up.  If they come back and keep doing it, they get a permban.

That applies to just about everything

I ban hackers straight up. No question about it.
But if people are abusing other players, admins, throwing around racial and/or sexist remarks, etc. I give them three warnings to stop. If they ignore all three i gmute them for 5 - 10 minutes (depends if i forget to ungmute them or not :P). And if they haven't stopped after all that, i'll permban them. I might seem to give them a few chances, but the Australian Soldat community isn't as big as some of the other communities around.
I rule.

I remember insulting a admin when he kept abusing that bug on Voland.. Never really liked the admins who took insults as a bannable offense.
