Admin Abuse Guidelines

Admin Abuse seems to be an issue for so many admins on the
server. In this I hope to address all types of abuses and to
prevent it with punishments that all should follow.

1. No asking for admin.
2. No verbal abuse ( racism, explicit sexual comments to member
that are offensive)
3. Do not abuse admin commands (fling, splat, gib, sniperwar)
4. No banning/kicking players for no reason
5. No spawnkilling
6. No trickjump for objctive, trickplanting, walljumping, map glitches
or exploits to gain an advantage.
7. Don't make teams unfair by stacking the teams on one side. No
VoD vs. all unless voted and passed.


Punishments:
Asking For Admin

If someone asks you for admin first tell them not to. If they continue
to ask mute them for 60 seconds. If after 60 seconds they still bug
you,then demote them 1 level. If they start bugging you about
returning their lost admin take another level away. If at this point
they still haven't learned a lesson and still ask for admin then mute
them permanently. You can lift the mute and restore their levels if
you believe they have learned their lesson. Only the person who
muted them should unmute them. This may seem harsh, but
seriously its getting annoying and I know some of you feel the same.
Examples must be made out of people that persist on asking for
admins.






Verbal player abuse

If someone is being excessively mean and hurtful towards a member
this is unacceptable, even small remarks like noob can get old and
will result in punishment. I personally don't care about cursing, but
what I do care about is if those curses are directed at a member or
pubber. Racism will never be tolerated. If someone is being verbally
abusive.

* 1st
warn
* 2nd
mute 60 seconds
* 3rd
kick
* 4th
ban 90
* 5th
high admin decision to either perm ban or an extended period of ban (120 min
and up)

If you don't have the admin to deal out punishment take
screenshots and post at the admin abuse section, and
someone will deal with it.

Abuse of admin commands:

Those players that excessively use commands against players and
against themselves to gain an unfair advantage is considered admin
abuse. Fling to escape with objective, launch to leap walls, revive
after killed,disguise to go in back door are all abuses and will result in
punishment.

* 1st
warn
* 2nd
kick
* 3rd
ban 90 minutes
* 4th
loss of admin lvl
* 5th
high admin decision to either perm ban, strip admin, or kick out of clan.


Kicking/Banning people for nothing or barely nothing:

This is probably one of the most important and most common
abuses occurring on the servers. If someone is spawnkilling
they are not to be banned at anytime. They can be splat/gib,
they can be kicked, but at no point should they ever be banned
for spawnkilling. Also crossing in sniperwar is a touchy one and
I have seen people that I thought was excessive.
First tell them not to cross. If they continue to cross splat them. You
should not kick or even ban someone for not following an unwritten
rule. Botting although annoying first offenders should not be banned
forever,or even 999 days what I see some people have done on the
server.Botting was addressed on another topic please refer to this
post http://gdclan.forumotion.com/announcements-news-f4/gdc-rules-guidelines-t1143.htm
any members deemed kicking/banning people for little or no reason
will be dealt with.

* 1st
warn
* 2nd
kick
* 3rd
ban 90 minutes
* 4th
loss of admin lvl
* 5th
high admin decision to either perm ban, strip admin, or kick out of clan.



Those
that feel they are victims or witness to these cases of admin abuse
addressed above I invite you to post at the abuse section of the
forums. To take a screen shot of text, bring down the console and type
/autoscreenshot off the text you would like to take a picture of. Alt
and ~ together and Ctrl and ~ will minimize or make the console full
screen as you may need it. F11 also works, but not to take picture of
the console, use that if you want to take a picture of gameplay. After
that there are a few places you can host your picture. I use
imageshack.us you just upload it and use code code ect.
Your screenshots will save in your program files of ET.
