Tips For New eG's

[JimMusty]

Hello ladies and gentleman of eGO. Today I was thinking about when I got my promoted to my eG and how I guess you could say confused I was. I figured I'd throw a few tips out to new eG admins that may be having troubles.

First and foremost, game first, admin second! It isn't your job to go into server and spectate that game looking for trouble, your their to have fun and admin only if you need to.

Second, keep a steady head while dealing with a trouble maker, being respectful is always the best way to go, even if the player causing shinanigans requires a ban.

Third, ask for help! I know that when you get your G you'll have some questions to ask, so dont be afraid to ask them. I can promise you you'll get an answer eventually.

Fourth, this tip is for both e's and eG's. Promotion will come when you are ready! Remember that the best way to get yourself notice is to be active in both the forums and in server, and remember to be in eGO's local hot spots often (Ventrilo, IRC, ect.)

Fifth, HAVE FUN! This is the most important tip for ALL members of eGO. eGO is a gaming community and was meant for people to enjoy themselves without having to deal with troublemakers. ALWAYS remember this particular tip!

Thanks!

Use admin chat to talk to the O's. Look for O's with sm_who or by just bringing up the score board.

Let the O's do the heavy lifting.

Above all else be friendly. We want people to be comfortable on our servers. Keeping your tone light goes a long way towards achieving that goal.

Don't ask me questions. I am mean, angry, and do not like be pestered by G's who are learning the ropes. Especially don't add me on steam. Under no circumstances should you PM me if you ever need help in a server.

People like you are the reason I never admin D: I'm afraid to cause I'm not confident and it's scary when you yell at me for asking an innocent question.


example: is the cake a lie?


kidding, Good post :3

I would just like to add that I just recently got my O, so its alot like becoming an eG again, except with a few more benefits. For me, I pretty much had to start over @ square one since I hadnt done any admining in a good few months (work & a process of moving will do that to ya). But like the thread started said, if you ask questions to get the info you need, you will become alot more prepared. Also the fact that you just became an eG means that you earned the respect of some admin (possibly eG or even eGO). Respect & honesty goes along ways on these here forums.
