  Bannable Offense?...pshhh

First things first, I highly enjoy playing on the SourceOp server and have been since tf2 came out. Drunken Fool, is a good admin and is readily available should any problematic issues with the server arise. However the reason I'm writing this post is to question the (his) method of how certain things get handled, in this case "kick"&" ban."

Here is how the situation went, were on the third level of Dustbowl on blue side (myself and Sergeant Balls) during the "setup" time. We happened to be on the right side gate of blue spawn, and Drunken Fool is in front of the middle gate. Sergeant Balls chucks a pipe bomb at Drunken Fool through the gate, who also happens to be crouched in front of the middle gate chuckin pipe bombs as well. However Drunken Fools pipe bomb which failed to get though the gate (in an attempt to use the exploit as well) rolled on the floor and killed him.

Following Drunken Fools death he immediately "kick bans" Sergeant Balls (for 5 min.) and replies with " testing new ban system"...My rift is the way he went about the whole situation. First he gave no verbal (or test) warning that shooting pipe's in setup time was a bannable offense, second he was also using the exploit at the time in which he accidently killed himself ("do as i say, not as i do"?). When was this "rule" instated, just then? how are players to know whats a bannable offense? There are no "Rules" on the MOTD (message of the day) on the server when you join. Not once have I seen Drunken Fool kick+ban anybody for doing that. And also kick banning one of the "regulars" which also happens to be #1 on the server.

Lastly, you can argue the fact that im defending an "exploit" which happens to be a valid point, and i have no defense against that. However when your using the exploit, and giving me the "why are you defending an exploit" argument, well, friend, its like "the pot calling the kettle black" its just not fair at all. Above all, i understand its your server and you can manage it anyway you like. But please give me a logical argument and not "this is my server and i run it how i want" cause at the end of the day, its Immaturity and tyrannical.

If i can suggest anything, please revise the methods in which you handle these matters.


  New ban system

I've made a new ban system for my SourceOP plugin (and therefore the TF2 servers). It works by reading and writing the bans to a MySQL database. The database records who was banned, when it happened, what for, how long, and what admin did it. There is a link to the new ban list on the left side of the web site. If you click the "Server Bans" link, it will take you to the ban list.

Okay DF, you took away Joey and my speaking priveleges and then took away our typing priveleges and you didn't even give us the pleasure of knowing why. The reason is unimportant when I know we were well within the confines of server rules. If you were there long enough to hear, any conflict going on wasn't even born of us. When we hop on to the server, Joey and I just want to talk and hang loose, but when you mute us it takes the fun out of it. It would be like playing Monopoly except you can't talk to the other players. When guys like half-duplex and enforcer get cheesed off its because they are taking the game way more serious than we do. When other players can easily mute people like us, I think it is frivolous to revoke our fun lock, stock and barrel. After we got silenced the talking vacuum got filled with some dude giving orders and talking non stop about how he is the only one on the team helping. That is the kind of stuff that you end up with when the light hearted players get stomped on. So I guess our position is we love to play tm2 and we love to play and interact with the other people, so when you take that away the whole game loses something. I don't think it was fair to do that to us especially when we are in the server all the time spreading the cheer. We love the server and we love most of the other players and we just want to play for the love of the game.


  Unban request

Okay so today I was banned. While I was playing on the no mods TF2 server a friend on Steam told me a command that is supposed to crash a server when you type it in the console. I didn't believe him and thought that Valve wouldn't have a command that would do that. I typed it to see if it would work and apparently it does, since the server banned me right when I typed it. This is my favorite server and have been playing on it for months. I am doing well in the ranks and wish I could be playing on it again. Curiosity got the best of me I guess.

Hi Drunken,

Ever since one of the valve TF2 updates your mp_teststalemate plugin has stopped working. Whenever I issue mp_teststalemate the server immediately crashes. I emailed you a mdmp file awhile back, in case it would help you.

Any chance on getting your mp_teststalemate plugin updated?

then by all means make it public, Drunken. (Source Op 24/7 Rookies only) I'm tired of seeing all the good players get kicked and banned for being better than your admins. This is getting out of hand. If I donate 20 dollars can I have admin so I can kick/ban whomever I please? I don't know, the state of the server is terrible right now. I come back after a few weeks of not playing and within two hours I'm kicked and banned. I think you need to reevaluate who should be an admin and who shouldn't.

Ok I'm done crying, ranting, whatever you flamers want to call it. I rule you sux! Wink

Is hlx running as of now? In game on the instant respawn server there are no notifications and no commands appear to work. Just curious.


  Relinquishing my admin ability

I am barely on TF2 anymore now that its the summer and that I got PS3. I checked tonight and found that I was on for only 7 hours the last two weeks. I dont know if its been brought up that im barely on anymore but i think its only fair if someone else got to be an admin instead of me. I mean you could still keep it there for when I am on, but i dont know if you wanted to have a limit to the amount of admins or only wanted admins that were on a good amount of time.
