Guidelines and Ban Policy
We've been having some issues in the past couple weeks with bans (ex. Teamkilling and got permabanned, hour bans for racism) there has been a lack of consistency with our current rules. Everything that we’re going through today follows the warn-kick-ban policy. Some things may even warrant multiple warnings.
Foul Language – Not too concerned about the occasional slip up. If it’s done on rare occasion you can warn, but for the most part be understanding. We’re not trying to over admin. You should admin if it’s spamming, disruptive, hardcore language, etc. Generally the ban is 1 day (1440) try not to go more than that unless it’s purposeful / griefing.
Intentional Teamkilling – Fine line between accidental and intentional. We need some more discretion here, a wild rpg that accidentally kills 5 guys does happen. If you get killed, it’s not automatically intentional. The ban guideline is 1 day. Again, griefing would be more if it is that scenario. Also remember that the TK manager does handle this as well with 30 minute bans.
Exit Camping/Spawn killing – If someone is passing by and they happen to kill 3-4 on the way to the destination, that’s not spawn / exit camping. We have generally said that as long as players can exit their spawn, camping is ok, but use your own discretion. Dust_2 is more designed to be a deathmatch server, and we don’t admin as much for spawn camping. For old BAR / BAS, try to keep it to more of a minimum, don't let it disrupt gameplay.
Griefing – Sometimes players come in and they’re just cocky, that’s not griefing. This is more intentionally giving other players a hard time and being disruptive in a way that does not coincide with gameplay. The general ban guideline is 2 days (2880). They’re usually pretty obvious, they’re not attempting to play, they’re just there to be asses. Also, admin and player disrespect goes in this category.
Impersonating an admin – Permanent Ban, there’s a lot of damage that can be done by someone trying to make us look bad. If you suspect someone’s impersonating, take a look. Check Status, but don’t rely on that, it might be someone from CoD division. PM them, get them on vent, check the website, check their Steam ID. If you need to talk with them, follow the WKB policy, else perm ban.
Racism – Perm Ban, period. Certain exceptions are made for things that are not specifically racist, but anything promoting hate, or clearly negative is a permanent ban.
Hacking/Glitching/Exploiting – Permanent Ban, but it can be a tough call to make. If it’s crazy obvious, speed hacks, etc. take the demo but still feel free to ban. Otherwise, run the demo and submit them with a ban request. Also, no one should be accusing other players of hacking. This just creates tension on the server and can alert real hackers that someone is watching them (turns them off). Just don’t say anything, take the demo.
Ban Notes - Been having some problems with O’s submitting bans without Maul admin note details. Repeated bans of more than 1 day without details, or with stupid details as the explanations will get you stripped of your admin. Put the ban notes in.
Recruitment Drive – 45 new players about 4 times more as last month. This isn’t an easy division to recruit in. That’s a great job, keep it up, we’re looking for 55 next month. If you have new recruits on your friends list, check on how they’re doing, make them feel welcome. EGO can be a big place, give them a helping hand.
Servers – Servers are going through some changes (BAR/BAS) testing new maps, getting feedback (also give feedback, throw them in the dropbox or PM an advisor (That’s how they feed, although PIMP also drinks human blood) Feedback is important, you see players complaining, ask them what they don’t like. Servers will be changing around every so often until we find a new happy medium.
