How is it an admins fault if if their are imposter's in their servers?
Hehe. I did not say it was the admins fault. I said that they get blamed for inactions. For example:
If player "A" uses a visually obvious cheat (speed) or if a player spoofs another player and acts with impunity under their name, people do complain and rightfully so.
Like this new trend. Frankly it hurts no one until they do malicious acts under someone else's name. Then harm is done,
even if the player being spoofed does not care.
Which bring me to my example.
The following example is a stretched comparison. But accurate to a point.
Take for instance 3rd party harassment in the workplace and compair it to playing in a public server with players who are causing grief to others and being disruptive and witnessed by an offended player.
In both scenarios an improper action was done by an offender, against a victim and witnessed by a third party. Regardless if the 'victim' enjoyed the offense the employer of the offender has to take action to resolve the issue for all parties, as fast as possible. If not then the employer will then become liable and will be held accountable.
Same principal should apply to server admins as it does the employer in a third party harassment case.
Good growing communities expect admins to be held accountable. When no actions are taken against the offender then the admins in the past have been blamed for poor server management and accused of favoritism.
Worst off is the 3rd party's gaming experience. This could lead to "intercourse this game" or worse "maybe I should try that it looks fun" Both of which none of us want.
*edited Pink not soon enough. Before you say its "pointless" please consider there are players who don't read the forum, both new or old, that have no clue what is being done. All they see is what is happening. They might decide to leave or worse imitate by cheating, spoofing etc etc. None of us approve of either.
