=(e)='s assisting admins

[RobInactive]

I wonder if one of the admins can clear this up for me a bit, i seemed to be a bit confused about the proper way to act when an admins on the server with e's. What I mean is should the e's help the admins out, and tell people off for swearing ect. Or should they leave it all to the ego's/eg's? Because I've had mixed responses from admins whilst on ego servers, some PM me in-game saying "thank you but admins are online so let us handle the admining" or something along those lines, while others have pmed me saying "ah cheers man, I didn?t hear him swear on voice chat/ i didnt see him swear in chat, must of missed it". So I?m kind of confused about what to do, as some admins want you to help, some certainly don't. What's the proper way to act as an =(e)=?

 

[Mateusz]

I'm with you Rob. I generally type, "please watch the language" or say something across the mic if it's within my team.

I haven't been derided by an admin, yet, though I can understand both sides of the argument.

If you are in game with various other admins, you should do a few things if someone is breaking rules:

1. Make sure the admins are aware of the rulebreaker. They could have easily missed it, or it could have been in dead chat and only you saw it. Wait a minute to see that the admins didn't actually see it, and if they still haven't warned, send a message to them by using:

U@ Message.

2. If you're in a game with no admins, feel free to warn. After warning, you should locate an admin using Steam friends, the shoutbox, or Ventrilo.

Chances are...if there are multiple admins in-game and something comes up, we're already discussing it, and about to issue the proper warning. Thats not to say we discourage e's from giving out warnings, it shows you've a) taken the initiative and b) you have a firm understanding of our rules. However, the majority of the time, if you do see multiple eGs or eGOs in-game, let them handle it.

If there's only one admin in-game, which means one team is without an admin, someone swears, and you're on that team, send us a message through admin chat and we'll take it from there.

Pretty much what the above said. I'll add something though-

As an =(e)=, your warnings do not count as an actual "warning." So it is sometimes a bit frustratiing to see an (e) warn seconds after the person does whatever they do, and it be on the incorrect manner. The only way you should warn someone is to, "<playername> please watch your language on our servers, thank-you." A warning like "language" "watch it" should never come from any admin or member. If you see an admin warn like this you need to PM an Advisor/DL so they can note this.

Some of the Advisors are:
Tiddy
Romantic Death
NinjaFluff
The Big Herm

TF2' DL's are:
PurpleNurple
Sixxgunn

I guess to sum this thread up, (e)'s should only give out warnings:
-If the admins on do not notice it within a minute or two
-If you are the only member on the server, meaning no admins
-That are the propery form. (What I mentioned above)

The admins there are in no way out of line by asking anyone in private chat to let the admins handle it, etc.

Existence posted the command for admin chat, and that should be used as much as possible. If you want to learn more, there are about 3 admin classes a week. To get into the admin classes as an (e), you must contact an instructor VIA forums or steam chat. They will only let you in if there is room, usually there is but recently a lot of people have been promoted, and eG's without admin are priority.

Hope that helps, Cheers

To to reaffirm what was already wrote. Its not that we do not want the help. We love that you (as an e) want the server to be run. but as Crash said there is a "way" to do it. and unfortunately as an e you haven't been properly trained and are not "EXPECTED" to do it. So again as Crash said if you want to take that initiative then please do so by trying to contact an admin through team chat by hitting "U" and then typing @ and then the message. i personally recognize someones initiative better when they try to learn the right way to do things. instead of just shotgun snap a "Language" in all chat.
U@Player SO-And-SO is swearing on mic
YOU will not see the message but WE will.

i hope this clears everything up?


please lock this thread? (and then delete this line)

Actually, Herm recently got promoted to Insurgency DL, I believe.

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)

Actually, Sixx went over to INS. It's PurpleNurple and DuckDastardly in TF2 now.

Ok, well thanks for clearing that up guys. I have actually been to admin school before, but it was about a year ago and my memory has faded. Thanks again,


rob.

A very useful thread

 

[wasawiki.]

Good point Rob

 

[5starGeneralAlphaSnake]

I say use vent alot and when people are acting up and no admin is on.
You can contact eg's-DL's.

haha I already made a thread about this. What I was told was to type in team chat, @this person is doing this. The @ alerts all admins to the message. It keeps the chain of command going and it's respectful. Only after the message is sent and no one says anything should you reprimand.

 

[RobInactive]

Hmm something new is added to this discussion! Basicly the insurgencey server has a bit of a problem in this area, there is no @ command. Unfortunatly today this was clear, as one of our e's started shouting "ALAHAHAHA BOOM", and such in chat, someone decided to tell the f10 joke and two peopel swore quite a few times on mics (one offenerd swore once, but the other three times) and i was unable to alert this to the admins (i have a comp dump if you like with some of the f10 and sucide bombing incident, also me francticly capsing in chat to try an alert the ego members!) The only person i could get hold of was =(eG)=? DethBringer who can perhaps add some comments, but i don't think he had admin powers and he too was trying to get hold of the ego's on the server.

 

[5starGeneralAlphaSnake]

I think ins has different rules?
Or no rules at all.

 

[SPARTAN MAN]

Just let the admins get it first, they'll usually get it done well.

All of our servers have rules. All eGO rules apply on ANY SERVER YOU PLAY ON. EGO OR NOT, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE OUR TAG ON!
