Super cool new rule for all admins!

[Riftoff]

New rule:
DON'T FUCKING PERMABAN ANYONE IF YOU CAN'T UNBAN THEM
This applies to whether you don't have the power to unban, or if you just don't know how.

[Divine Fate]

I'm Divine Fate and I approve this message.

[squishy]

This looks like a good rule.

[pleasenopouncing]

i agree with this too, but if some1 need to be unbanned let me know an i will do it as quickly as possible

[tomm]

what happened this time.

[genericname]

Think it was me Tomm. Hurtme permabanned me and it took Trilby,Rudedog,and Divine to get me unbanned.

[Minus]

Generic, I think you kinda deserved that one. You speed hack every time your on the funserver.

[AgeNt_]

hacking is a permaban offense.

[bluephyr]

I don't understand, but I have rcon control and I'm getting requests to unban people too...

Just stop, people.

[AgeNt_]

I don't understand, but I have rcon control and I'm getting requests to unban people too...

Just stop, people.

lol then dont listen to them. tell them they have to figure it out on there own. its not your responsibility to undo some douche-fags problems.

[cc wolfy]

good rule !!

[captainAngry]

Ban people for 24 hours or something. There is almost nothing you can do that will get you banned forever around here but a few 24 hour bans to some regulars should get the point across.

[tHeReAlSuSaN]

I have to agree with captain...but generaic constantly speed hacks, causing a lot of people to rage quit the server. While I dont think that permaban is the right answer, something needs to be done to keep him from speedhacking.

[steve09]

I completely agree with this rule. Only once have I hit the permaban button, and it was pure accidental, and it turned out it was only a few hour ban anyway. Sure I've banned someone for like 30mins as a vote quite recently, he was some non-English speaking team killing kid who annoyed everyone on breakfloor by making large holes and putting everyone he could into them.

I even had an aregument with TgameP over whether to permaban someone that is cheating, say using aimbot. I said we should at least ask them to stop and spectate them to see if they did, if they didn't then ban them. He mildly agreed with this. But anyway, what I would like to know is how to ban for a certain time limit, cos apparently low admins can ban for like 60mins or "perma" by menu, and 30mins by vote.

[AgeNt_]

If it was only a 30 min ban, it wasn't a permaban.

[Trilby]

Think it was me Tomm. Hurtme permabanned me and it took Trilby,Rudedog,and Divine to get me unbanned.

All because I forgot the 1 at the end of your steam ID

[Dreathtil-P-V-A]

All I have to add to this discussion is

Isn't banning and unbanning so inconvienient

Then again it is neccessary

"Quote" "Unquote"

[Kittylipstikk]

There definitely needs to be consequences to unruly actions, but I also agree that if you don't know what you are doing don't do it. I don't know the commands or how to get to them so if someone is spamming the mic or whatever, I ask someone else to stop them. The least I can do is warn em.......btw I need to figure out how to use the commands lol :P

[Slowpokes Bro]

Something I can actually agree on!
To be honest, I think the permanent ban hammer should only be given to high admins. If you 24 hour ban someone for whatever reason, they may think its a permanent ban and not come back.

Ban people for 24 hours or something. There is almost nothing you can do that will get you banned forever around here but a few 24 hour bans to some regulars should get the point across.

I pray I'm not one of those regulars X(

[MrKerplunkers]

I'm so cool, I've been following these rules since I got admin

[hln.LAW]

Hurray for fun rules!

[Beetle]

If it was about generic or that other guy that's just as annoying, who cares?

[squishy]

Speaking of permabans, can my friend cookiesFTW be unbanned from the funserver? He was permabanned a while ago because his friend was on his computer, and micspammed the infamous "can you guys hear me alright?" spam. Next thing he knew, he was banned...

[tomm]

my god that was a long time ago. back when there were micspams

[rudedog04]

hell i believe i banned him for that. he will not be unbanned for many reasons, but if we ever do get micspams again (which will probably not ever happen for a very long time) i might reconsider.

[squishy]

Wait, why? What are these reasons?

[bbq2720]

I am Totally agree with u.

[Minus]

possibilities:
Low admins be stripped of being able to ban
Low admins be given the right to un-ban
or
Low admins, don't be retarded.

[PhrozenFlame]

OR...

Take away low admin's ban ability and replace it with a "kick player for some odd amount of time".

[Beetle]

"kick player for some odd amount of time".

That's what a ban is :P
