Every now and then you might run into a punk with no admins present. Sometimes, there are situations where a punk will come into our servers to make our experience unpleasant for all of us. This is a guide telling you what you need to know how to help us keep the servers punk-free and enjoyable for everyone. In a situation where a pub breaks our rules for example (cussing, disrespect, accusations of hacking, using an exploit, racism) and there are no admins present to set him straight and you cannot get in contact with a G or a O you should take the initiative to set him straight. You should give a polite warning not a threat. Why? Because we all like to be treated with the dignity and respect that each and everyone deserves. A threat would be something like this. "Hey stop it or I'm going to get someone to ban you!" a polite message would be "Hey, *insert name* please do not use foul language in our servers, thank you also for a list of our rules type @rules. You notice that "@rules" right? Well that is the pimped out version of MOTD we find in source engine game. Why? Because no big windows pop out instead it sends you messages of our rules. We have it, use it! Don't forget about it.
Examples
1) Random player A says: Hey you noob gtfo recon class you f****t and do something, instead of camping.
At this point you should warn him firmly yet respectfully. Don’t be all wishy washy and be like "Hey!! Please stop T-T" Say "Random Player A, please watch your language and be respectful to other players, thank you." It is important that you use please and thank you and saying the players name will be more effective if you don’t cause then he could say I didn’t know you were warning me.
2) Random player B says: Hey what’s up n**ga
At this point most of us would jump the gun and ban him or post a ban request. Well don’t because this situation calls for w/k/b because one he did not use it with harmful intent nor did he use it in a racist manner. Because the word "n**ga" and its other form of racial slurs are more prevalent in society and we still do not accept it in our servers but we treat it as a w/k/b.
3) Random player C says: Hey you n***er turn off the jew hacks!
At this point the best thing you can do it post a ban request because he broke our golden rule of "No Racism!" because he used it in a racist manner and used it with harmful intent.
The best thing to do when you run into these situations is first contact an admin that has the game and let him know that there is trouble in the server.
If you followed all of these and you cannot get an admin and he continues to disrupts our server. The best thing you can do at this point is file a ban request and explain what had happen.
If you are not sure if the suspected punk is breaking a rule asks yourself these two questions:
1. Is it offensive?
2. Does it disrupt game play?
Now you know how to deal with punks without admins present. Remember, if there are admins on the server it might not be necessary to warn players, let the trained admins do all the "dirty work". But if you see something that an admin did not see, best thing to do is let him know via vent or some other form of private communication. Now go and enjoy our servers and don’t be afraid of punks, they should be afraid of you.
