What have you done?

[Captain Ashton]

Edit: Things seem to be going alot smoother now. Ever since the buttons were changed to 8 and 9, it also seems that I have a little bit more time to agree to the rules. Still get kicked occasionally from it but other than that great improvement. You dont need to read this thread now unless you really want to.

First off please read Everything before commenting. I know its alot but I think its important.

Ok so recently when joining a server on TF2 (possibly on the other games too, im not sure) you have to agree to the Edge Gamers Terms and conditions every time you join.

Now I wouldn't have a problem this if we had adaquate time to do so. However ever time I join a server I have to madly click through all the options at the start, not thinking about my team or class to press 1 to agree; as I cannot 'agree to our terms and conditions' until I am properly ingame.

It is impossible for me to do this on my first go because I do not live in the USA so I tend to lag slightly upon entering the server. So I have to join the server again wasting 2 minutes of my time. This is seriously putting me off joining our servers because it means that whenever I finally press the agree button I am always angry and fustrated at all the time wasted, causing me to enjoy the game alot less.

I think there are 2 possible things which could be doneto sort this out:
1: Remove this thing altogether; I would prefer not to do this as more rulebreakers would be joining the servers, but it would certainly improve gaming enjoyment. We have lots of admins after all.

2: Use MAUL (or similar methods) to allow confirmed eGO members to not have to click the agree to our terms and conditions at all so we won't get kicked for no reason. I don't know whether this would be possible with the MAUL system but it would certainlty be a very useful way of allowing us Rule abiding members to not have to risk being kicked at the start of every game for having slow connection.

So why have I brought this up now; after all it has been working for well over a week now. Well just under an hour ago my computer crashed after I was frantically clicking to reach the terms and conditions pannel. When I got kicked I couldn't join any new servers or quit the game; so I had to reboot my computer. If this 'agree to our terms and conditions' thing didn't affect members like myself who always follow the rules, then I would have been happily playing a game on 2Fort right now.

Administrators PLEASE do something. Our servers are no where near as enjoyable when you get kicked after 20 seconds for not being able to press a button in time.

I honesly do not see why all of us Edge Gamers have to 'agree to our terms and conditions' every single time we enter our own servers. We're part of the clan OF COURSE we agree to our terms and conditions.

Sorry about the length of this thread but I really am sick of this.

me 2 alway kick when i go 2 palemo

I haven't had this problem at all....

i submited my steam id in the maul thing and it worked out for me.

Maybe you haven't submited yours yet?

That may be because people eG or higher don't need to do the terms and agreements. What they're asking to change is the agreement to our rule when they join.

I have seen a lot of pubs attempting to join the servers, it says that they joined blue team, and immediately after that it says that they were kicked - this must be because they are used to pressing '1' to select blue team and it also selects the 'I do not agree' option in the rules popup.

This needs to be fixed - Admins, I would make it so that 3 and 4, or 3 and 0, agree or disagree to the rules. Don't make the agree keys the same as the select teams keys, as there have been and will be innocent mistakes.

Edit: - looks like they already fixed it.

Hi guys,

This plugin was rolled out to servers while I was out of power, so this is a belated announcement thread. We've updated the plugin so that it now displays 'yes' and 'no' as options 8 and 9, instead of 1 and 2. It will also not kick people off if they push a different number (ie, just out of reflex selecting another weapon as soon as they spawn)

If you'd like to report *bugs* with this plugin, please respond to this thread. There have already been some heated discussions about it, this isn't the place for that. Take it up with advisors & up if you're have an opinion to share.

Thanks,

As of today, the keys have been changed.
1 and 2 are no longer the yes/no response. This has been moved to 8/9 to be more convenient. Hopefully there will be fewer problems.

 

[DrunkenSailor]

This is being looked into and we are discussing how to solve the problem. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, perhaps this plugin is running away potential members and public players.

I like the change to options #8 and #9.

I have a habit of quickly loading out upon spawning...must be my Counter-Strike instinct!

eG's and up do not have to Agree to the terms, only because we are admins.

I know you didn't ask this, put I'm going to put this out there.

-e's are the newer people to the clan, and they get banned and kicked more than eG's and eGO's, not saying that only e's get banned, but they are more likely to make a mistake.

-There are so many e's, it would take GardenGrove a very long time to register everyone under maul with people leaving, coming back etc..

-You don't have to be in the EdgeGamers to register with maul, only a member of the forum (correct me if I'm wrong)

My views on this 'Agree to our rules' thing:

-It doesn't really do anything, and it doesn't really say "Ok you agreed, we can kick you as we please." (We could do this anyways, and accordingly, it does not count as a "Warning" anyways)

-It DOES NOT, and WILL NOT prevent the bad guys from coming onto our servers. If they want to cause havoc on the servers, it will not stop them until an admin physically removes them. I kick people all the time for cursing, and who can't just say I Agree and I will not break rules?

-Some people join the server and get kicked, even if they are in the clan. It just says that they tried to switch guns without knowing that they actually just Disagreed to their own rules.

Don't get my wrong, it has potential, but I'm not seeing any change here.
