Growing popularity and keeping control
« on: July 21, 2008, 08:54:45 am »
Hello fellow players and administrators at world of stunting,

As everybody knows, WoS is gained great popularity over the last months, and is now one of the most popular SA-MP Servers online this time. With the great numbers joining, and the admins playing I noticed that simple misbehaviors get punished much harsher. I remember back in the days when someone simply spammed he got muted, warned and later maybe gicked, or unmuted.. Now it's just simply /ban and hoping to never hear from him again..

I got in a small discussion with Mike from California, USA and asked me why we all responded so harshly, and that's why im typing this to make this clear for everybody.. We need to take harsher punishesments because everyday there are thousands of abusers in the server, and we simply can't first warn, then kick, when coming back ask to stop and maybe he'll stop.. We cant make that effort because it takes too much time, keeping in mind that we like to keep the server tidy for other players..

Hope this topic cleared up some stuff for some of our members, and hoping that everyone agrees I'd like to hear your opinion about this.. Are we reacting too loudly to small misbehaviors? Or you also think this is needed? Let us hear your voice

Greetings,

Sounder

There is no point in listening to 90% of people's voices, they think they know whats best but they have never run a server, never had to control over a 1000 people daily. They just think that by chance they know how to run the server perfectly and get to critisize the way we run it cause they are big fucking know it all. People like that don't deserve an opinion on the situation because they simply don't understand anything about the fucking situation. The only people that we should here voices from are the ones that have run extremely popular servers for months/years on end. And I guarentee you that most of those kinds of people will agree that harsh punishment for rule breaking is necessary when 90% of our players are non-dedicated n00bs who are usually repeating offenders using different names, which I have already confirmed by the majourity of IP's that join the server.

I use /ban a lot to set an example for other people. But in the past few days i have noticed a lot of idiots bringing spam bots and spawning bots in general into the server. Mostly at late night early morning for you fellas in Europe. I have no clue who these people are and I don't understand what their motive is. Revenge from being previously kicked or banned? Or someone from another crap server taking out their anger of their failure server on a very popular server. So basically I am tired of this shit where's the Advil.

It does get extremely annoying when you have to work with tons of spammers/hackers/flamers. I used to just /kick but I use /ban alot more now...

Same with me,i use /ban alot more because it seems that over the time that i have played WoS there has been 300+ more hacker/flamer/spammers/botter idiots who think they can get away with everything and anything

And then they act stupid when you catch them. Or they can't talk English...So pretty much inquiring that we're stupid...

Unfortunatly this situation was never considered abuse, use of certain now restricted commands was considered abuse unfortunatly for this time.

/slap is not limited, and /kill kills yourself so I don't understand how it may be used for administration abuse.
