Through my endeavors on any server, of any game, where I am NOT an admin, I've found a few things work. It usually helps if you're IN the clan.
Most people on pubs DON'T know e's aren't admins. This can be used to your advantage. I find that by talking with authority I can generally put an end to certain behaviors. Such as, swearing, disrespect, team flashing spawn camping etc.. It's not going to matter if you say that to someone who is blatantly hacking, they KNOW EXACTLY what they're doing.
I find that most of the time (90% or more) the people I have to be all mean to end up listening and we have a great time playing together.
I usually do one of these,
"Hey, please watch your language in these servers" (first offense)
"Okay, this is the second time, please, watch the language" (second offense)
"You've agreed to the rules and conditions when you entered the server, which says no swearing. You agreed to the conditions now please play by them. I'm not going to ask again" (third offense, or can be used if people are arguing about it).
Now, I don't say these things word for word, but hey, it usually works.
The most important thing is to NOT threaten banning or any action, e's can't do it.
I highly recommend adding a few eG's and eGO's to your Steam list for this. 100% of the time they have come when I have requested their assistance.
I don't know how many times this kind of thing has come up, but I thought it would be a good idea for e's to stockpile some ideas for defusing situations before they become out of hand. Higher up's can also add to
Thank you for your time.
