No one likes Admining alone.

On TTT its known fact that solo admin is going to be frustrated or quit. I think It would be smart to have admins figure out who would be able to play everyone and cover most hours of the day. When admins buddy cant make it there could be a reserve of a few admins and they could ask them to sub.
Not a professional, just an idea...

If you go on discord and ask for it I'll probably hop on if I see it. I'm nowadays doing late-night where its either insanely toxic or pretty chill and usually an admin is needed.
Forcing admins to run on a schedule would make it unfair to admins as its again not a job

That reminds me of joining TTT yesterday on a full server, and people were trying to get DS players banned because they were trying to help clean the servers from actual RDMers. Then I hop in (I was the only admin), and by my login, when people realized I was on, I recieved 9 (!) reports on the first round, and whilst trying to solve them all, I got told that we (admins) are doing a shit job, just because their reports weren't dealt on a spot. Not to mention that kicking the guys being reported rised a chaos of people saying it's abuse.


It's not about having admins play X hours a day, as they are not paid to do that. We could use some more new admins (people sometimes move on to other eGO supported games/eGO servers or move on with their life, hence why they dont play TTT anymore), even though there are timezones where there is a pretty big amount of admins on (5+), but the main problem most of the times a solo admin quits is the community itself playing at that present point (Obviously not everyone, but I hope you get the point). Whenever there is a solo admin on, and there's 20-30 people talking altogether, whereas amongst them there are these 5-6 people who intentionally try to produce drama issues to mess up the servers (which leads to MULTIPLE complaints on admin chat), while the admin tries to maintain a stability on the servers being playable but also dealing with reports, and also trying to play the game themselves, then they eventually get fed up because no matter how hard they try, it might not be enough (cause they end up having to deal with tons of reports, and limiting themselves to 0 gametime like I always do when Im alone admining).

completely agree its a cycle with discourages admins from playing TTT and leaves the server in a worse position. I think more TTT specific admins is whats needed. This reminds me of 3 years ago when TensaZangetsu was the only TTT admin and we were going through the exact same scenario

Yeah same problem, people say crude things when a solo admin cant solve 15 things at once, have had it happened on jb too. When people dont have evidence and I can issue a punishment they also proceed to call me bias too. Its been some pretty difficult times.

I'm actually going to +1 this.

Back when I was in CS this was a massive issue across the entire division, not just TTT. If you remember my "The Case for DS Transparency" thread, all jokes aside, this was the root issue behind that mess.

The situation has significantly improved as expected on JB, and surprisingly, on previously dormant servers like Surf as well (in my opinion, Surf is the gold standard of moderation on CS where we have admins having fun yet enforcing the rules when urgently needed). However, the situation has understandably worsened on TTT, which is one of the main reasons I despise playing on that damned server.

As someone with administrative experience, I understand that nobody wants to play on TTT. It is quite simply too much of a responsibility. But we should at least vet Gs and Os with interest in TTT (def not all CS Gs and Os, lmao) to at least moderate for a little bit, as with great power, comes great responsibility.

completely agree its a cycle with discourages admins from playing TTT and leaves the server in a worse position. I think more TTT specific admins is whats needed.

This is by far the best proposal I've seen yet, nobody wants to play TTT except those who do, and those who do should be vetted by the standards proposed.

I agree that we should not HAVE TO force people to moderate, but we should also not force players to develop connections with admins just to get them on. I'm pretty sure no admin would want 79 messages a day from people asking "there's MFK on TTT help me god". We also must understand that some people are server-hoppers or server regulars, not everybody wants to join eGO and we should set the best example for those people that way they consider joining eGO.

In the end though, I feel that we can all agree that we need to show our force, rid TTT of its toxicity, and conduct a PURGE on that server if we want to save it from destroying itself.

I can understand that it would be good to have more admins on the server, and that it can be somewhat hectic if there's only one handling the entire server, but those admins could easily request for more admins to get on if needed. It's not as simple as having more admins or having current ones get on during a certain time, and there's a reason why all of the admins that have posted here do not really agree with this. Thanks for the suggestion~
