Are "e's" allowed to call people out for swearing/abusive language on our servers? I only ask because we're not technically admins, but sometimes "eG's" don't notice or don't say anything, and I feel the responsibility to call out the people swearing. So should I leave it up to the admins and hope they notice and possibly let it slide? Or should I speak up and call out the bad-doers if nothing is said?
 
You should always wait a bit for an admin to respond. If they don't notice, send an Admin Message. Go into Team chat (default u), then type an @ then your message.

Ex: Teamchat:@Person A is mic spamming

You best bet is to show initiative if the admin does not handle it. You should be fine :)

Good point, that way shows initiative and respect for the chain of command, best bet to go with that!
 
So message admin or say something like *______*, Please dont use that type of language on are(eGO) severs please. Thank you??
 
Yeah. Prolly say something to the offender if there are no admins online or they don't respond to your message.
 
You should always try to alert an admin that is on the server. You can do that buy bringing up team chat and putting in the @ symbol then what you want to say. (u@ So&So is what ever hes doing.) Now if it is still happing then feel free to give a warning but only give it in the proper format (So&So Please watch the language on this server. Thank you)

Yeah that's what I figured would be a good plan of action. It's just I was playing earlier and no admins would call anyone out, so non members started telling people to not swear. And I always use the format you said.
 
Whatever you can do to help to keep the servers clean is great. TY for taking the initiative.
 
If other admins arn't in the server, then feel free to tell them. If there are other admins in the server then let them handle it. If the other admins don't say anything and it is a real bad offense, feel free to say something, nicely. Don't just say "language" or "watch it"....Many reasons only eG's and above should say this is because we all went through admin school, and the =(e)='s havn't.
 
If an admin is in the game do the @ message like told above

If it is jsut you and that offender... warn him

he continues get his Steam id and go request a ban
 
See, I don't see this as an Admin "Job" unless its severe. If someone let's loose a little cuss, I usually just type, watch the language or say it over the mic. I think its a community's job to keep it clean, not just one person in the game, we're all here to have fun and we don't really need to bother the admin's who are also trying to play if its something not serious IMO.
