n00b server admins...

Piggy:

Perfecto thread.

Was banned last nite at 9:14pm for saying ‘twat’ on the SD Server. Why? A team m8 [Medic] was asking for ammo, while waiting for charge bar to charge proceeded to shoot me in the face 3 times… I waited a bit more, shot a bit more… gave him ammo… he ran away, didnt pickup the ammo and didnt bother healing me. So I proceeded with the ‘pickup the ammo you twat’. Note, this same team m8 was then warned 3 times on the next game when I rejoined, Oasis, for stripping health from players, and again, including myself with the same ammo crap… I didnt say a word.

Now, as you all know its run by eQ and SD (more or less some of the same peeps) but eQ take it into there hands most of the time. Now, not only was I banned from the ET Server, but also there #splashdamage on QNet only to be told by digibob it was because ‘he had a problem’ with me. Not even a proper explanation now was it?

But, apparently, and according do an ET player it was because I said the word ‘twat’. So, I waited till next map and rejoined up to the server only to find, wait for it, the same player who told me not to swear and also said that was the reason I was kicked/banned, still no reason for the IRC Channel yet, abusing his mouth off. And, guess what, another 2nd member with the odd ‘more offensive’ word than twat, as well as another regular, who, excuse the french, proceeded to use FFS and Fuck 3 times in one sentence… and aimed at someone. And to top it off, that admin has now got me on ignore on IRC and was using the rcon say (Echos text to the server) to say that one of his fellow clan m8s (The first abusee) ‘sucks and that he is off for dinner’. n00b admins? Obv not the truth in most peoples eyes, but imho, it shows the same for the DevTeam which they work and the clan for which they play.

So, im either guessing that this thread will be deleted shortly when read by a mod… I’ll probs end up banned from ere too… and as usual, end up with no justification as to why, I was the one who was the ‘problem’. Obv the help I try to give to the people in the community and on this forum isn’t up to scratch and the only reward is punishment. wub

Also, please note I didnt start this thread… im mearly giving an answer to a question that was asked.

im not really sure exactly what happened here but i hope you’re not banned or anything. Hope it’s just a misunderstanding.

m8. If you read the post fully you’ll understand. You were also on the server the same time that night, as well as the 2nd person, next to an eQ to give abuse (twice may I add) at the same player I did…

Not really. It would help if there server was setup not correctly, cos it is setup as best they can for ETMain I guess, bar map times and class limits, but from reading the SD Server Poll its quite obvious most players want ETPro on it. Its still the ET that they made, just improved… just like the Q3F SD made was the Quake 3 iD made, but improved… Multiplayer wise at least.

the post about certification - it was a joke - god, that would be sad…

Yeah it costs money to maintain a website and yeah it costs money to host it. SD is a company that can say ‘we’re an internet success story, look - we have a massive online following who regularly contribute to our public forums’ - from this we take on board peoples feedback, their likes, dislikes, changes, additions etc and integrate the best into our design process.

soooo…why exactly did you choose to make this thread, which has been done about 30 times by now by other people that could have easily joined another game also.

public forums’ - from this we take on board peoples feedback, their likes, dislikes, changes, additions

i must have missed the section dedicated to gamers hellbent about admins or servers that suck. where as it would be so much easier to go on a different server.

but you know, the thing that really got me was.

Anyway, by the end of this thing it’s become clear that I’m not some n00b and this admin guy has been quiet for a long time - I left the server but I’ll probably play there again

why? why waste all this time writing that book about how much it sucked and then say that?

there are so many things about this thread that baffle and confuse me.[/quote]

i was about 1 minute ago playing with my friend on a server…
i usualy had nothing against the admins there…
but then: HeadshOt removed (headshot=my friend)
then i asked the admin why did he/she do it?
then he/she told me : i was making room for my friend…
now that plain sucked…:\

Has life been hard to you Jesus?

The_Jesus_Zeppelin · 2004-01-24 04:31:20 UTC

Im done posting on your thread.
good day sir.

evilsock · 2004-01-24 15:28:06 UTC

sorry, I couldn’t resist it - you are kind of asking for it with a name like Jesus though m8 - I was going to follow on with something like ‘is life a cross to bear’ or some such thing…
