Changes To Nsa Vet Server

<div class="IPBDescription">Look here.</div> I am very excited to announce a very large change in the way the NSArmslab Veterans Classic is managed. Instead of me running the entire server by adding reserved slots, managing bans, and generally going onto the server and admining you nubs, I am going to be totally reforming the hierarchical structure. Due to my rather lack of time and a few people feeling that it might be unfair for me to be in control of it all; the server management will be made into a council. Besides me, there will be four other high-level admins in charge of reserved slots, bans, and admin access levels. Everything will be voted on in order to minimize the chances of abuse occurring. This system will be administered fairly soon and there will now be a short waiting period on getting reserved slots due to the voting process.

The five original council members will be Albino, Prodigy, TribalDaniel (huon), DrFurious, and myself. Council members will be voted upon by the console itself. All permanent bans will be voted upon the console, this will make sure that no one admin can simply permanently ban someone for random reasons. Finally, both adding and removing reserved slots will require a majority vote in the council. This is ensure that the Veterans server is much more representative of the competitive community and that everyone is treated much more fairly.

    The council will be a great way to balance the powers out <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I agree with everything except this.

    Say JoeBob wants a res slot. So he contacts one of the 5 council members. So then they must all get together and agree. They do or whatever. He gets a res slot. Yay.
    But that sounds like thats too much work just for one little res slot for silly JoeBob.


    I think to get a res slot, one council dude should be able to make that decision, and grant them access...based on the original idea of being involved in cal or whatever.

    But to remove, then they should all agree (like you said). Because most likely they did something wrong/stupid/etc. and should have it taken away.



    Other than that... great idea.

    Well, all joebob would have to do is contact one council member, and that member will bring it before the entire council for the vote. They won't have to contact them all.

    Joebob will have to wait sometime for something one person can easily make the decision and do.

    Well, only three votes are required to add a slot. So only three of the five members actually have to vote for someone to be added. It takes all 5 members voting for someone to be removed. (That's not 5 "yes" votes or "3" yes votes, that's total number voting whether it's yes or no)

    As soon as you do something that warrants it. Being annoying on the forums has very little to do with admin decisions for the server.

    I find that extremely hard to believe, considering the chatter in the NSA vet server admin subforum.

    IMO it should be done like this:

    If they are in CAL no vote is needed
    If they are not in cal a vote is required

    this way you don't waste your time, I mean really, who in cal would you not give a res slot to?
  • Blue_MaryBlue_Mary Join Date: 2004-08-26 Member: 30921Members
    So how is the banning and allowing of res slots going to go by?

    Skill, friendships, manners, or what?

    Whats the possibility of getting a slot for myself? Every time I have joined previously it only took 15 minutes before it kicked me out. Or does the NS community dislike the cows and all their greatness?

    Lagger, pm Hellabean in #nsarmslab your steamid and we'll start a vote on getting you a slot.
