Early Nexzil was guilty of stacking on KKG Servers.. Omega, Villain, Hav3k, Shaker etc.. and even myself sometimes (new to competitive FPS games at the time anyways, I was more awful than I am now) and I understand his position against it.
It's pretty awful to have a bunch of "competitive" players stacking one side over and over if you know there's no one on the other side to give you a challenge.
So to that end I think it's perfectly fine to ban/kick people for that.
Actually I was banned because I said Master Blaster talked garbage to public players/rookies as a Commander on KKG Servers throughout Beta and into the first 6 months of release.
I then got some irrational nasty messages from King Kahuna basically saying I'm a bad person for giving feedback like that for one of his admins.
So I guess you should add criticism of admins to the list of your "reasons for bans".
You were not ban for the above mentioned reason. You were ban for being disrespectful, rude, abusive, and lack of respect for our server rules, players, and admin staff. <--- period Just like your disrespectful, rude, abusive, and lack of respect of behavior here.
I know why you hate us, you have been banned for pub stomping, trolling, racism or hate towards us on our servers. Any one of these reasons, save for pub stomping you would be banned on the UWE forums.
Actually you might want to remove pub stomping from that list. Per king he doesn't ban for kdr, never has and never will.
Add pro stacking though. (note 1)

You sir, were also ban for the same reasons mentioned above. You didn't like your friend being ban, and continued the same treatment. These messages posted here, are proof of your lousy behavior, and we simply will not tolerate that type of person, or behavior on our servers.

We have just implemented rookie free status on hives 1-3. Unless you have logged enough time on TheHive, you can't join a team. Hives 4-7, rookies can join, but can't command. There, they can earn hours on the Hive ranking system.
So, if you're looking for Rookie Free, we're the place to play.

This setup accomplishes every goal discussed in this thread. It gives access to new players to learn the game, without being stomped. It gives access to experienced and pro-players to enjoy a higher level of competition, and a more competitive place to play.
Every server is 24 player, and we have no intentions of changing that number. We have many years of experience in configuring what works. Some may disagree, and that's ok. The good news is, if you don't like 24 slot servers, there are other places for you to play. We have a lot of "pro-players" who frequently play here, and are very helpful in teaching others strategy and other things about the game. We have a lot of regular members who have bonded a close friendship with each other, and protect their playground. Just sayn'.
What makes any community grow, is new people. This is our attempt in helping the new people along with the game, and the beginnings of new friendships.
We are open to suggestions about any configurations you think would make things better (except for player count). Please feel free to leave positive suggestions or comments. We do listen to those. Feel free visit our website directly http://www.kingkahunagames.com/forums and pass along your suggestions.

"We are open to suggestions about any configurations you think would make things better (except for player count)."
How about reducing the serverammount to 4, so other communitys and admins have a better chance to fill there payed servers also?
This would help the community much cause the players have a better choice on what servers there a playing.

@dePARA If you were actually nice to people, they would want to play there. Messages like this one, and one that was edited yesterday are just two examples why they might not want to visit in your house. Have you ever considered that may be part of the problem? Is it jealousy/envy why you want to always troll me? This messages and others you write seem to indicate that's the reason.
Maybe I should put up more servers, so the player base has a place to play without being trolled. I did operate 30 during the NS1 days, and I can do it again if necessary.
I appreciate your comment, really I do. I just put up the 8th server. We'll be making it a Rookie Only server, giving us 2 for only rookies to play on.
May I suggest a couching server as well, a server where rookies are allow to spect.
If there wasn't such a problem with people spectating, I would consider it. However, it's an abused tool in the game, and only SuperAdmins have the ability to spectate.
@softpa I re-read your suggestion; maybe I misunderstood. Did I miss something?
How is spectating a problem when you have a 24 man server? Just dedicate 4 slots to specs while capping the player limit at 20. Make an exception that only allows specs to join once there are 20 players on the field. Being able to watch games from a top down view is an incredible tool for helping people understand the game.
._.
P.S. The word is "banned" when talking in the past tense king. Just thought I would let you know.

i'd actually suggest this for midlevel servers, KKG already has some stability hiccups with their preferred player count without adding spectators to the mix. but with something like 18 man servers, make it 22, but only 18 can play. used to play a lot of fpses where there was a persistent spectator population, which buffered against loss of numbers and were ok with just chatting and spectating when there were enough people. Also prompted people to join as fast as possible, so they'd be able to play that round. good times.
Yes that was basically what I was getting at. Tactical Gamer servers (Great servers btw) were the first to implement the spec slot system I described. As long as you make a rule in the spectator mod that specifies no one can join spectate until you have x amount of players on the field, the mod works extremely well.

BTW the TGNS mod are also basically just shine plugins
I played there for the first time Monday (odly enough randomly joining with "no sound" as my name and finding out they are all about teamwork rofl). I ran into the spec system after my first game. They were fixed at 8v8 and the rest could spec. I thought it worked but I wasn't a fan of having to sit on the sidelines so i left shortly after since I was looking to play.
I could see it being a way for people to spec whatever their reasons may be and not get yelled at for taking up a spot. Often times newbies want to spec just to learn in general or people want to spec good players to see if they can pick up something. Then they get yelled at for wasting a slot when 1 team starts to lose and they see some one to blame in spectator.
As for performance it shouldn't affect performance correct? I was under the impression a few specs do not increase server load a significant amount.
Wyzcrk's server has some issues every once in a while. It has nothing to do with the mod itself. Usually the server runs pretty well. As for their rules, the entire server is based around teamwork so they require you to be able to hear the comm. Aside from that the rules are pretty simple. Use teamwork to work toward the goal.
And if you read the rules and sign the primer, you get a semi-reserve slot allowing you to bump non-regulars. I believe the server protects 2 non-regs from getting bumped. I always forget.
So, as you can see, past tense/present tense isn't the issue. Whether it's an adjective or a verb is the issue.
Examples of BAN/BANNED
The school banned that book for many years.
The city has banned smoking in all public buildings.
The drug was banned a decade ago.
The use of cell phones is banned in the restaurant.
Some present tense examples, and some past tense.
I appreciate the English lesson, but it appears you have just been schooled yourself.
Is there anything else you feel the need to correct me on?
--if you say 20 players + 4 spectators, then what happens on a map change? Is it a race to join and the last 4 to load get screwed(haha you don't have an SSD)? Alternatively if you join a game only to find out after 2-4 minutes of loading that you don't actually get to play...
-- if you say "max 4 spectators" then when 4 players rage and spectate they prevent new blood from taking their place...
Spectating has the potential to help people learn the game, but it also can be abused intentionally or unintentionally very easily.
Is venture to say that 85% of green players have spent <5 minutes looking at tutorials let alone spectating. In my experience 75% of spectators are players who have given up on the current round and 24% are players who think someone is cheating. If you think it's GG then surrender, leave, or keep playing/practicing, don't unbalance the team further by forcing them to play a player down. If you think someone is cheating let an admin deal with it, because no matter what you see or how obvious you think it is you still can't ban.
I see your point mad_max. The servers that I know use the system are not green and are 18man servers with extra room for reserve slots. These are also not rookie friendly servers iirc. I have almost never seen people complain about it. Sometimes its nice to sit a round and watch while you eat or something. Obviously speccing a game is not for everyone. Maybe if the server is clearly labeled it could help?
"You were not ban for the above mentioned reason."
were - past tense
meaning you need to have the word "ban" in its past tense form as well.
The correct sentence form would be:
"You were not banned for the above mentioned reason."
As per your definition... "Banned" is an adjective. The way you used it in your sentence tells me you meant to use an adjective.

Please have respect for others. You're displaying a contempt for others,, and showing yourself to be a troll. I have seen it privately, now you're showing it publically here. Do you not have any respect for IronHorse and his request?
What is your opinion of putting the spectate system on your Rookie only servers? It sounds like a interesting system that would allow players to spectate without getting told to join. Provided the rules are in place to not allow spectate till teams are filled it seems like it would avoid clearing a server since it only allows one to spectate.
At one time I showed you the utmost respect and even donated to your servers. Then one day I publicly posted about my dislike of your reserve slot system and boom.... I was banned. When I confronted you about it you gave me a child's response. After that my opinion changed about you. Now, it's no secret that I dislike you, King. Everyone knows that. Hell... even some of the UWE forum mods agree with me... but that was not the point of my post. I was just pointing out something that was bugging me.
Sorry I had to explain that to you but lets move on I guess. Back to talking about the spectator slots. We haven't heard your opinion yet.

i'm suggesting that you have 24 slots, and only 20 of those can join teams, last 4 don't get to play. i don't know, its worked in other games, but those were pretty tight servers/communities with almost constant admin presence, to kick afkers if it got too full. might not work here, meh.

It's pretty awful to have a bunch of "competitive" players stacking one side over and over if you know there's no one on the other side to give you a challenge.

Ban
Banned
Can be used as either present tense, or past. See http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ban?show=0&t=1389973071 for proper usage.

If you think someone is cheating let an admin deal with it, because no matter what you see or how obvious you think it is you still can't ban.
@joshhh Please quit trolling every message, and stay on topic. You're only doing this to cause trouble, and you have been warned already for trolling messages. Please have some respect for others, and the forum moderators when they make requests like these. You are displaying a contempt for others, and showing yourself to be nothing but trouble every time you do it. Can't you see, it's hurting your reputation?
Thank you.
@current1y Please keep in mind, you are displaying a level of disrespect of forum moderators by piggy backing on joshhh's trolling messages. You're only doing this to cause trouble. Please have respect for others. You're displaying a contempt for others,, and showing yourself to be a troll. I have seen it privately, now you're showing it publically here. Do you not have any respect for IronHorse and his request?
Sorry I had to explain that to you but lets move on I guess. Back to talking about the spectator slots. We haven't heard your opinion yet.
nah, but for those that already have issues with performance at certain counts and times..
shit just got real y'all.
i'm suggesting that you have 24 slots, and only 20 of those can join teams, last 4 don't get to play. i don't know, its worked in other games, but those were pretty tight servers/communities with almost constant admin presence, to kick afkers if it got too full. might not work here, meh.
