Questions/comments for admins

[GeneralSnake]

Comments:
I have been seeing people, not admins, just people with CLR tags on, warning for language. Nothing wrong with this I dont think, but I see it happening selectively. Which reminds me of clans like DiG, where they will ban you for beating them too badly, or complaining about their cheap tactics.

I saw someone get warned for their language, and right after they had cursed, another player did so, and was not warned. This first player that was warned is a new person, haven't seen him in the server too much.
Later, one player did it quite a few times, and was never warned. He is a regular, but does not wear the CLR tags.

To me, this makes us all look bad, like we abuse power(which most of us dont have, except forum posting power).

Now the questions:
Many servers have little screens that pop up when you log into the server with their rules and whatnot. There is not one for Cain's Lair server, are all the random people that stop by really expected to come and read the rules here before playing?
And if so, what is telling them to do that?

I see this as a problem if we want to become a more popular server.

Good point... I'll re-enable the scrolling messages plugin.

Snake, if you are noticing odd behavior from a CLR in game or on the forums and don't feel it warrants a "Report a Jerk" post, feel free to PM any of the admins here on the board about what you saw / heard.

I definitely agree here. I think customizing the MOTD with rules, etc. would be a good thing to do.

There is a way to have all the rules pop up when a player joines on his individual sceen. He has to press 1 for "I accept the rules" or 2 for "No i dont accept" and then he is kicked.

Recon makes a good point.

Question? who are the admins... I have no idea who to run to if i need help on the server if someone is not being a civilized person.

[GeneralSnake]

Intro screen and scrolling in-game would be wonderfully clarifying.
BT, will do.
And an admin list(I think there is one somewhere, or some way to filter a members list or something), especially one of active DoDS players would be great. A sticky in the section?

There was once a group that you could click on that would list the active game admins on the forums. Not sure if its there.

But there are a bunch of us:
Cain, Apache, BlackArrow, Cheeser, Minerva, Gene, Kriotek, Vito, Duke, DougBob, Juneau, Zantheus, HolyhandGrenade, Rand and myself.

You should have us all steam friended and just shoot us a PM if none of us are actually in game.
I typically check in with some CLRs I have on Steam and I see no admins on to ensure things are ok on the server

You left out Sirex.

The joy of typing by memory is that you always leave someone out.

Didnt know Krio was an admin. He must be using admin hax with his nades!

[Kriotek]
