Admin Abusing-True or False
« on: September 16, 2007, 04:10:15 PM »
                          Admin Abusing
                           True or False 

I'm just asking and saying is it true that people can get banned from dp for admin abusing like admin killing so many time when someone says stop and they keep doing it. I'm just wondering if you can get banned for that. Cause I do have a couple of Records of admin abusing or I'm not for sure it was admin abusing but I think there useless. ???

Bottom line:

If you own or run your own server you can do as you please with it.

Your choice? Find another server to play on.

And no, it's not true that server admins can get  banned from DP for server abuse.

And Knack knows more than you think
P!nk, I don't think he meant it like that. I think it's more like "hey, what do ya know" than "what do YOU know". At first, I thought the same, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. idk, it's hard to tell moods from words.

It's easy if it's written by a good writer.

I still think " ;D " or " ;) " is a better sarcasm tag.

For the type of admin abuse that you're talking about, no. If they created a malicious server and did what iron was doing, yes. (changing the player's content.) And Knack knows more than you think, he is even setting up his own server right at this very moment and has been playing forever. It's not so much what he knows, but what he remembers. :D
His server was modding content? Woah, didn't know that.
His was the one that had the client's name in it, right?

It just used a server command issued to a client that parses in a line as if it came from the console, so you can mess with configuration and such. There wasn't really any media modification, so I guess she's 50% right.  (I think the command is still there, it just prints it out to the console now too -- I don't see why it's even there anymore anyway, as it has very limited use).

As a side note, I never even looked at or modified DP's source once; I think it could be a very annoying general quake 2 problem also.

The server with a client's name it in was just for general fun/annoyance; I used a second (private) one for jacking with people. lawd I loves me that e-drama...

Admins need to be held accountable to a degree.

Define this.....(America's Army would be a good start set of principals)
