GT Pub - Admin Abuse
« on: September 14, 2006, 11:43:01 AM »
What is with the ops on the GT server lately? 

I see people saying "shut up or ill kick you", and other stupid crap.  Who the hell are these new ops?  If they're not new, what is suddenly lodged in their ass and why are they using anonymous nicknames?

I connected this morning, first thing I see is an op demanding someone switch teams, "OR BE KICKED". 

KNOWING he's obviously a very pushy and abusive op, and after seeing him sit there and line repeatedly Shaz33, I tossed out a "keep lining" comment.  Short, sweet, I knew it would be like a T-Bone in front of a lion.  He said "I will, if it fits my mood".  I said "you must be in a puzzy mood".  Sure, probably marginally out of line, but its the truth.

I must be related to Miss Cleo because she couldn't of predicted the future any better.  I knew immediately his first come back would be "shut up or get kicked" (not in those exact words, I believe his exact words were "if you like it here you wont say another peep". 

At that point, I'd been there for maybe 5 minutes, and frankly quite ticked off that an admin suddenly cannot take the general verbal jousting that is always involved in this game.  I was pissed.  Who do you think you are?  The internet n.a.z.i.?  I got pretty ticked off at this point, how are you going to sit there and tell me not to say a peep?  Again, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

I said something along the lines of "I will say another peep, and I'm betting you'll ban me over it as it must make you feel all gooey inside".

Sure enough, banned.  Sure I stroked the fire, and I completely accept responsibility for that.  But, the only reason I stroked it, was because it should not have been an issue to begin with, and frankly I'm tired of seeing admins act like they're gods and think they can control how people talk and act in the game.

Even worse, Sharon is in the game, I know she must see whats going on, and doesn't even remove my ban.  Thinking she'd understand this was going too far I promptly changed to my normal nickname before I was banned, asking her, are you going to allow this?  Yet I'm still banned.. and I thought we were pals?  So much for that thought.

I'm 25 years old, and play DP in my spare-time, and if talking smack in an innocent manner is suddenly against the rules of DP, its time to remove this game from my computer.

People play to come and have fun, maybe act a little immature, maybe argue with people at times--it happens--ITS A GAME.

I would just like to say publicly, that THEWiLD, whoever you are, you're pretty pathetic.  And frankly, you need to grow the fu ck up and come to grips with your INSANNNNEEEE powers.

Seriously, you're a joke.

Everybody knows GT abuses their powers. There have been much worse things than this though. This, technically can be justified but I do agree a temp-ban wasn't necessary even though you provoked him.

Picasso is a terrible admin. Whether he is friends with admins or not, he should have his admin access taken away. He abuses it worse than snipen did.

"I connected this morning" <- Heres your first problem, connecting to a GT server.

"Shaz33" <- Heres your second problem, connecting to a server that has shaz33 on the maplist.

"I'm 25 years old" ?

I hate how people use the old "It's just a game" excuse to act like total <insert expletive of your choice here>.  Is that how you talk to your friends when you're out playing football or other games?  Where do you get that it's somehow your God given right to be able to verbally attack other people while playing?  I think that's part of what's wrong with this community.  You may not see anything wrong with it, but I doubt new players want to try out the game then get insulted.

Ok, so perhaps your language wasn't severe enough to warrent a ban, and it does seem hypocritical for Picasso to ban you for what you said as I've seen much worse things come out of his mouth.  Still, it seems more like a provoked thing.  Poke a dog hard enough, and you're going to get bitten.  Some dogs don't have to be poked as hard as others.  It seems you knew full well what the result of your actions would be, yet you did it anyway.  It wasn't innocent smack talk.  You were saying things to purposely get a reaction from the admin, and you got it.

This reminds me that I really need to add a "mute" command so admins can take somewhat less severe action against people who can't control their mouths... or fingers, rather.

Haha I love it!!! Another one of these...

Correct.. This is nothing new.. You break a rule by showing your a$$ on the server, you'll be escorted from the server.

"Who do you think you are?" Umm I'm the a$$hole admin that enforces the rules...  I'm glad Sharon was there to witness it as well.  Indeed you wanted nothing other than to start crap and you got your just reward.

My warning to the players that kept shifting to the winning team and making the teams 7 to 3 forcing them to be unfair and unbalanced was going on before you ever got there.  You came in AFTER the kind warnings on the previous map and frankly I really owe you no explanation.

DT you might not like Shazam33 but the large amount of new players love it and request it daily... 

To all the complainers....  This is NOT new information... If you don't like the way the servers are operated stay the hell off of them...  You sure in the heck do not pay for them nor do any of you contribute anything positive to them or this community these days.

Jitspoe says it best and I agree with all of what he says...  Even I have my moments but you'll never hear me start crap with the admin of any server and if I break the rules of someone else's server or $hit talk them then they have the right to kick or ban me from their servers.  Actually, they have the right regardless...  They might simply NOT like me....

It really cracks me up when a somewhat seasoned player comes onto the server and whines like a newbie about a player lining, camping or playing the game how he so chooses...  The correct thing to do is to improvise and work together as a team to take out campers and liners.  Too bad you chose to act like a newbie, whom by the way I would expect that kind of behavior from, and then go on to push your way right out the door with a T-ban.

Skater Skater Skater...  -|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-  Zip it kid!  You're just angry because as long as I'm alive you aren't allowed on the servers and most likely after that.

Again, if you wish to start crap I suggest you team up with the other complainers and go buy your own servers to do it.  You can even make your own maplists there :)

Oh and for the record the names I use are not anonymous... people who play on the servers daily know exactly who I am and I certainly don't hide who I am. 

Have a great evening  ;D

Doug, I really don't care about being banned. I don't waste my time playing pub DP. I don't want to hear 45 year old men like yourself whine cause you think someone hacks cause they double jumped a crate. You are NOT a good admin. Banning people for saying something is not enforcing the rules, its going overboard. You know, I've seen you play pub. You are always shouting rude things etc. And if one person says something to you, you freak out and ban. You're a joke, learn how to run a server.
