I thought I would post this fiasco to show what problems are out there in the wonderful world of public CS. It highlights how good our admin system is and shows how bad others can be. I have removed names of individuals and servers as we are not in the business of flaming the way other people run things
QuoteDear random server
I would like to place a formal complaint regarding one of you admins . On a round of Office I was accused of blocking. This is fair enough anyone can get in the way within the first 10 secs of a round . What I did not expect was being shot at point blank by your admin coupled with a string of verbal abuse on coms "TANGOing noob" ect ect then being kicked. when I re joined another string of verbal abuse. I am in no way a Noob and I don't go round TANGOing them.I have been playing CS for over 5 years and am one of the admins for CS in dMw. I will have to consider carefully if I will return to you server if this is considered acceptable way for an admin to behave

The response
QuoteEr, I confess, this was me.
I seem to recall being shot, trying to move to my left, shouting "get out
the TANGOing way". I then turned to face the blocker (you) and shot you to
make a point - yet you still stood blocking me - are your reactions really
that slow after 5 years of playing?
Next round, I said "Jonny, please don't block" - I probably added "you
TANGOing noob" on the end, but that was to be expected. You replied "live with it", which was more the response of someone who didn't give a TANGO about team mates or team play and thought it was fun to block and not apologise.
Obviously, my view maybe somewhat biased, and my memory maybe not 100%
accurate, but there were other admins playing who had a different
perspective that might be more agreeable to your point.
Some of the other admins saw sense
QuoteHi,
I have been remonstrated for said actions:
"Don't think I was on but I know it can be annoying when you are
blocked/tk'd etc but I have to say that if a reg shoots ppl to make a point
we always tell them off as its not the way to sort it out! i.e how many
times are we unbanning regs for temp bans (or not in some instances!!!!).
Also if someone had just shot me and called me a ****ing noob after an
honest mistake on my behalf I may not be particularly polite in my response
back :P"
I apologise for shooting you, perhaps you would be so kind as to be more
careful where you stop for a smoke/tea break in future :)
Anyway ..it made me smile to think thats it's ok to F and Blind because someone was in your way
Shoot them so that they get stunned and cant move if they wanted to
Expect them to say sorry after you have hurled vulgar abuse and TK'ed them then kick them if they don't
All I can say this is a server many of dMw frequent :thumbsdown: Ill not be going back
Been there, had the same problem.
Ahwell. Atleast good to hear you had a game of CounterStrike again.
We have our own public server (Razer). If we get in the habit of hanging around there instead of on BOD etc then things will pick up again.
Quote I am in no way a Noob and I don't go round TANGOing them.
no, because "you'll know when you've been TANGOed" :lmfao:
...:blush2:

This didn't happen on that clansserver BB.:happy:
Must admit I was thinking it was on BoD too, glad to see it wasn't though. :smile:

I didnt think it did. I'm just suggesting that people seem to go there in preference to our server and that seems daft!
Ah okay, well, I've stopped playing for a bit, need a rest of gaming, will be back fulltime after my holiday which will start this Saturday.
And JAS, the admins are allways right (atleast most of the time). ;-)
The Admin Jas came across seems to be the exception proving the rule :p
TL.
lol, this is what happens when you give ppl power when they are to immature to handle it!
how come u know which server it is and i dont -.-:eyebrow:
Quote from: Arcticfire;145551how come u know which server it is and i dont -.-:eyebrow:
Because I politely asked JAS which server it was.
Fraid theres a lot of servers out there with poor or no management at all. On the other side theres also alot that have good admins. I tend to play on like a handfull of servers (maybe 2-3).
so which server was it:P
You will never know :narnar:
I understand BB's point about using razor more but i have had it with publics. I spend more time getting fed up with the lack of teamwork and the trash talk than i do enjoying the game.. Every now and again Ill dip my toe in but I'm soon reminded how poor they are. Even the better ones don't come close to a single game on the hook.. Ooh its Friday :clap:
