I am working on tweaking the admin powers on the fun server. I want to make most of the powers available to everyone rather than adding more admins to the server.

I added a vote menu for all users with a /votemenu chat trigger. There you can start votes like votekick, voteban, votemute, vote to change the map etc.

I am open to suggestions for new global powers. This is where to make new suggestions.

I'm assuming all the new(er) admins lost their control with the recent rollback?

It was more then just the newer admins. I think I removed between 30 and 40 admins.

Edit: it's been requested to add a melee only vote to the vote menu.

One necessity. Make it so you can only vote on something like melee once a round. Otherwise votes get spammed it it goes crazy...

I vote to have more than just 2 levels of admin (not counting you).
There are some of us, less drama-inclined, admins ( yes I am talking about me) that can handle being admin a little better than others. I often didn't ban certain admins I feel should have been just because I know they'd come back after their allotted time, permaban me, ????, then profit.


Also I vote for a gravity option again, not a vote though I don't think, just where higher admins can enable it. With admins like overmaster9000 it would be used just for their own reasons.

Also, I agree.


(All of the above I am only referring to the funserver)

Vote-Slay Or will the candy mod handle that?

I can put a time limit between each kind of vote so if I added something like a gravity vote I could set it so it could only be put up for vote every 30 minutes or something like that.

A problem I've seen with voting is that somebody puts up a stupid vote that gets shot down, then when a vote is really needed the timeout is still ticking. Can it be set so that anything that is not votemute, votekick, or voteban is only available once per map per user or something like that? At least this way we wouldn't get spam votes from any one user.

Yeah, the timer is per vote type, not per vote.

some of these seem funserver appropriate: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=79617

they sound fun

Huh, so far it's been a day or two since players got tele's It's already out of control, far too many random votes, and it's chaotic. Glad it was stopped already.

pssh, its always been out of control.

Yup, it's better restricted to the admins (i found).

It was broken until yesterday. The votes should have required a minimum of 60% to pass but the way it was setup it only required one person to vote yes to pass. It's fixed now.

Well, my opinion is that you should just drop it and give all the admins that deserve it their power back.

Doubt it will happen since it has always been abused.

Whoa Minus, when did u become admin?

3-5 days ago. Thanks captain

The key, however, is that it hasn't been abused by most admins. Strictly the banzaiboxes.

The only incidents of admin vs. admin tomfoolery are between those with preexisting friction between them *coughgypsyjoethursday*. I generally think it's a good idea to simply give admin to those who can be trusted with it (as beetle said, those who aren't drama inclined).

Can I have fun server powers back? People are not on the reg server as often as the fun server and the fun server isn't fun unless you can exploit admin powers there.

seconded

Which powers?

I think the admin system should be based on levels.
You have to earn your way up through trust,and proving you are actually a good admin. And also through time to prove that you aren't just in it for the admin and not the well-being of the server.

Also,something that is pretty easy to do on the server:

Level 0 ( No level[Get no perks] ):
People that play here but aren't regulars yet.

Level 1 (Regulars[Can nominate maps and various other things(not admin powers however)])
Obviously,people that have been here for a bit and will stay here. Also those that prove to be worthy of this. Being a douchebag can result in going back to level 0

I could ro-do the voting system so that if you get say 5 or 10 votes you get level 1 admin and once you get 20 you get full admin. Or something.

That'd be sweet

That would, if nothing more, attract more people to the site.

Well acourse whoever appoints admin would obviously pay attention to the person is,unless its automated acourse

Mostly teleport...I really liked teleport but explode slap and gravity would all be welcome. quite frankly I would take any of my old powers back. I liked being high admin.

Well with +20 votes you should have high admin. I'll rework the admin stuff tomorrow.
