Yellow abusing admin. Speaknow part 2.

[omix2]

"us"?

I just ban you

You're a fucking powertripping piece of shit.

[foq]

Let's ban yellow =D

So what if Omi is too rough around the edges for some people? I think he's funny on the server...


Drama is just a total asshole too... He rips on everybody.. Especially me.








...And it's funny! Who cares, lighten up. If banter at a quake server can actually make me laugh IRL, why are we muting? Why are we banning?

Last time I checked CAx runs itself. I'd start my own CAx server if I could get CAx source and tweak features.. And guess who would admin? Nobody. Because I pay for that server, and CAx is made to run itself. You're suppost to pay money to NOT worry about things, not pay money to worry and give yourself "work".

The latter would be indicative of having too much free time on your hands and not enough muscles to flex.

Took the words and my definition of CAX right out of my mouth

I made the decision to quit the board and I did.

This is an extremely rare circumstance which has caused me to step out of retirement and put a few words of support for Yellow into the recent events of all the ridiculousness associated with this board. It is into all fairness that the truthful facts stand out about Yellow and all this jumping on the bandwagon ganging up on him be rightfully brought to a stop.

Let us first start by stating the undisputed fact that Omicron is a unscrupulous troublemaker of the lowest kind with no Ethics at all. Him mentioning about Ethics is a total joke as he breaks every one of them into the book. He can not talk about Ethics while insulting one's dead relatives and other morbid personal attacks of the lowest nature.

I have known Yellow since I started playing Quake online. He is a tremendously nice and tolerant fellow who has helped me along the way with many technical issues.

He is also an extremely excellent Administrator. I have played many games with him present at Speaknow into the past with no issues at all. Of course, me being new at the mod, I did dumb things such as going green, going to another team - I picked this randomly, without paying attention - and I was afk a bit when the game was into progress. Yellow patiently explained all these things to me, made sure I understood and I did not do them again.

Saying that he abuses his power is bullcrap. He does talk to you, if you do ignore him and continue to be disruptive - this goes for verbally as well - he has the right to moderate you to keep the game going. This is not abuse, it is the duty of the active Administrator.

Omicron's abusive language is out of place. If he feels that strong and mighty why does he not go outside and yell that stuff out loud. Truth is he will get a knife put into him by some thug negros, the same that he runs away from into his poor neighborhood. He feels safe sitting behind the monitor and saying this crap. This is not entertaining and not funny for anybody. Nobody enjoys being insulted and nobody wants to listen to his unwanted disruptive flames spam. Go to a chatroom for that. People want to play on the server. This goes for everybody.

Therefore this kind of activity must be moderated.

In conclusion, Yellow is an extremely excellent Administrator whom I support for any server.

Do not bother to flame me as I will not respond. I came to give Yellow my deserving support as he is not treated fairly and he is clearly not deserving this wrongful treatment.

Thank you.

Buckshot...what you are complaining about is what people have asked me to do. It was my idea to make open cc'ing in CAx so people could jsut come and play...but it generates countless complaints. If I do nothing it's "omg you fuck I hate you you're a horrible admin you let everyone ruin the game" it's I keep things organized I get complaints like yours.

Rook and Bam tried to come up with some rules before where it would only allow cc'ing under certain circumstances...but most of the time they wouldn't apply and would just make it more convoluted. When I change settigns to cc'ing, number of teams, etc, it's to keep things orgainzied because 10x as many people complain about that then what you are complaining about.

As for the other admin issues...what I do is generally what the most people ask me to do. If most people say "I want the server this way" I do. If you feel like I don't do what you want it's either because you didnt tell me or more people told me they wanted something else. "mute" was conceived of so we didn't have to ban people who ruined the game with constant BS and text spamming. However, the truth is even when mute/ban etc are justified this is too much blowback from the few drunken/cokehead/roid raging/emo teen assholes who cause all the problems. And there have been some new admin features added to help move players around who cc wrong either accidentally or on purpose. So that is one less thing we need ban for.

So I've made some changes to the admin setup I'll explain in another thread.

Btw about the gl spam thing...I am a tireless proponent of some amount of spam, high (AKA NORMAL!) rocket splash, etc....because without these the skill curve would be too sharp, the best players would completely dominate, and newbs wouldn't show up at all. I have disabled the gl a few times when people have complained a lot, just for fun.

After player feedback, TONIGHT I have modified the gl-spam code to an idea that Bam had, plus a few tweaks. I'll try to explain this as simple as possible.
As you fire the grenade launcher, it keeps count of the number of consecutive grenades fired in a timeframe, if this number is greater than 2 then the reload time (time + 0.6) is multiplied by the spamcount number. At the same time the server is subtracting 0.6 from the spam counter ever 1 second. Okay that sounds pretty convoluted but the result is you get 3 normal GL launches then the 4th 5th 6th etc.. get increasingly slower to reload, and after u let off the firebutton completely it takes a good 3 - 5 seconds to "cool down". Also this spam scheme is entirely independent to the GL only, it doesnt affect other weapons at all! After playing a good hour tonight, i really didnt notice much difference simply because most players dont spam more than 3 nades at a time...

Bomber has been running this type of anti-gl spam (Bam's version) for about 2 months now. It works but only to some extent. Smart players won't get the slow reload time penalty as they will time their grenades.

It is nice however. It gives you 3 grenades to place tactically then if you accidentally or purposely place another one your grenade launcher essentially becomes 30% more useless

Goodjob R00k & Bam!

This mixed in with pl_down 3 for big games should definitely help with everyone's complaining about spam.

This might be OT but I think these kinds of threads could use a change of heart
