<div class="IPBDescription">!!Team Fun's Allergic Reaction 2.00!!</div> Problem: Banned without just cause? Agree or disagree?


Server: !!!Team Fun's Allergic Reaction v2.00!!!

Server IP: 64.246.63.87:27015

Victim: -[CiS]-FiRe-=LMNTL=-

Accused: {VarietyPack}Vampires' Tea-Bag a.k.a Scott-|tF|-|NS

IRC Channel: #tF


I was just on ns_tanith, on the marine side as the commander. We had a phase gate at satt comm hive and the marine spawn and had fortified both. We were getting upgrade by upgrade, of weapons and armor, and already had heavy armor upgraded. Right when I get level 3 weapons, and was about to drop some HA's, {VarietyPack}Vampires' Tea-Bag kicks me out of the comm chair by using admin_execclient, and kicks me to the ready room. I rejoin the marines and tell {VarietyPack}Vampires' Tea-Bag that it's not right to kick me out like that when no one was even complaining on the marine side nor the alien side. I ask the marine side to eject commander, {VarietyPack}Vampires' Tea-Bag, and he is ejected. LD then gets in the comm chair, but {VarietyPack}Vampires' Tea-Bag, once again probably used admin_execclient or whatever the command is to kick out LD of the comm chair, and he jumps back in. After all that hard work we went through, I state on the server, "that's unfair to kick me out like that, you should just say something". He replies by saying something of the sort, "GL spamming is not right", when I only had 3 GL's out, a couple welders and a handful of shotguns. I fairly think three GL's defending two bases, satt comm hive and marine spawn is not a lot for a full 24 person server. No one was complaining on either the marines nor aliens. I then say, "an admin that abuses his powers like this should get his admin stripped". I then get kicked and banned because of stating the unfairness of admin abuse. I was in no intention thinking I was delaying the game, as the marines were progressing nicely. I've seen plenty of games where marines have come back, not even holding a hive, but just their base. Am I at fault here?

    But he is right. gl spamming is not nice.

    Wn the other hand kicking without comment sucks
    and aliens with everything but 2 resnotes can counter gl spam easily.

    You just sealed the deal on your last comment and just ruffled his feathers a bit too much. A GL spam is certainly not on the top 5 "Uncounterables" in NS (figuratively speaking).
    But since he's admin (for a reason), you'll just have to weather it out and play elsewhere (forget about him, you got 300+ other servers to look in).

    I play on that server from time to time...

    Anyway, if you wanna get back in real bad, buy a new WonId <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->


    Javert,

    We have more than 620 NS servers <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well, he's a bad admin. What else can I say?

    It's irrelevant whether you were GL spamming or not, he didn't say anything, warn you, or properly start a commander-eject. After he was ejected, he then booted out another commander that wasn't you. You were the one who supposedly was GL spamming, being his reason to boot you. He had no right to boot LD even if he was right about you, which he wasn't.

    Well, that depends what day you play on, but I will take your word for it.

    Best bet is to contact the server owner. If he is the server owner move on to another server and put somethign in your sig telling how crappy that server is.

    If he isn't explain to the server owner what happened. The only problem is many servers make friends admins and they are biased. Ive seen many cases where a friend of the server is a 'crappy' admin but the server owner doesn't see it. Etherway, just get a new server.

    No matter where you go or what game you play, there will always be admins who act as if they were god and everyone should listen to them. Most of the time, its most likely because of an inferiority complex, so they use their powers to prove how "tough" they are, or something of the sort. And its also quite possible that he wanted to take all the glory of having a good thing going for marines, even though you were the one that did it all.

    My advice is the same as many others'; find another server to play on. Allthough I'm sure you want more action taken against the abusive admin, theres really nothing we can do about it.

    They almost banned me today cuz of thier **** **** rule about turret farms... no more than 10 per room..

    What they diddnt realize is i just know how to place the damn things... i only had 9...

    And it took my whole team to convince them that i had 9 and not 900... jeez...

    9 turrets kept 3 onos, 2 fades, and 2 lerks at bay, and even killed a few onos and fades
    Took them 45 min to break our defense..

    And it WASNT a turret farm....lol

    that's one of those moments where we see the NS-community at their worst. but hey, theres a minimum of 500+ servers you can play on and you can always try to file a complaint against him on their site.

    GL-spam isn't a reason for ejecting i agree, there are worse things than a little spam, and how about that spore-spam from all those lerks? i've seen guys do nothing else than go lerk and spam spores but start to whine as soon as you spam a few 'nades thir way.

    Heh, what happened to all the "omgomgogm complain on their forums, not ours" posts?

    I don't mean to be mean, but we're only hearing one side of the story... if you have a prob with the server talk to them, not us.

    However, I've had my share of cocky admins as well, so I know how you feel <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    So the whole GL spamming accusation was just an excuse to command then.

    I was in the game.. I don't think you were permanently banned, if you are Ill ask him to bring you back. Scott *aka vampire* gets in these stupid moods where he becomes really bitchy. There are many other admins though, go to the channel and try and get yourself unbanned. Ill back you, as I was in the game at the time.

    Does this happen on a monthly basis?

    I think so. I've played there before. Sometimes Scott is a really cool guy... sometimes not.
  • SirusSirus Join Date: 2002-11-13 Member: 8466Members, NS1 Playtester, Constellation
    On RR servers there is only one reason why we have rules against turret farms. If there's too many, they crash the server, and if it happens on a continual basis the company hosting the server aren't happy. And they might drive prices up.

    Keep it within reason, the only time I really don't like rather high amounts of turrets are when they are just prolonging the end of the game, if you only have your main base left, don't plop down turrets, go like men, recycle everything and drop shotguns.

    Well, to start my moderating duties I have been bestowed, I will start with this thread.

    Any disputes between servers and their admins should be taken to the servers individual forums and not here.
