Complain about crazy admins - we need admin black list?
« on: June 06, 2006, 12:57:10 pm »
I understand, what administration of game servers is not field of game developers, but I think need to notify about one problem here. And sorry my English :)

I played some months in Tremulous and very pleased with this game (respects to developers!), but I watch sometime very bad practice from some servers admins - some guys with admin priveleges understand their rights on own manner - like they is "superbosses" of this game world: kick and ban any players who don't looks nice for them. I seen as one player just say something, what not liked by other player (which was local admin as I seen later) and this player was quickly kicked. But though this player dont' destroy base, dont feed other team - just not liked by local "boss".

I think, guys runs own servers for own fun, but also I think if you offer public server - you need be more patient to your players and teammates. Elsewere, once day you will run on your server alone, because all other internet IPs was banned by your not very patient admins.

"Nexterhollands" and other kind of gameshiters is of course problem of public games, but nervous childs who become an admins - is real problem  too.

PS. I excuse for my words to [FU]LavaCroft in isatgnu.org server and hope [FU]LavaCroft put own excuses to me. But I think, if player build base in manner admin don't like is not reason to offer "ban" as you first argument. Be less aggressive please, it's just a game :)

It's more useful to have a server blacklist, we don't want to blame single persons.

It's of course not funny if people "put" their server in into the master server list and make playing on it  a bad experience. It's disturbing and time-stealing.

But that's a minor problem, but the reason why I don't play on satgnu that often.
Maybe it's better now, I don't know.

On a non-related question, will be nice to enhance the "Favorite" server option on the game browser.
Maybe the browser is finished and work for everybody and his dog, but to me work very bad, and features like Favorite server dont work, or are dificult to use. Maybe I am a idiot, but I know dev's cant fix that :D

Admins abusing power is an age old problem with any game, tremulous is no exception. However I havnt seen it on any server I have played on (but then I pretty much only play on DB#, where I am an admin so I suppose I probably wouldnt). A black list is fairly pointless though since there are so few servers, and its a bit subjective (one person could claim an admin abused his power when they had acted perfectly acceptable etc).

If you are worried about bad admins just refer to the other threads on these boards where good servers, and their admins are listed. You wont go far wrong then.
