Dealing with idiots

[OldBloke]

I have posted a new thread in the 'Community Structure' section called 'General Gaming Standards'. It's old news to most of you but it is a simple guide for guests to see how we game and how we administer gamers.

There is one important change in there that, although it is probably practised, is not documented. That is how we deal with idiots.

Over the years we have produced and refined quite a lot of documentation on how we deal with rule-breakers on our servers. We have the 'two warnings then ban' system that works fine for the majority of offenders but we have to recognise that there are those idiots who join a public server purely to cause disruption. You, as admins, are not expected to apply our warn/kick/ban rules to this type of player. We owe it to the rest of the players on the server to get rid of the idiot as soon as possible. Therefore, in such cases, it is OK for you to simply make a note of their player name and then issue a swift ban.

Section Heads - please make sure this is incorporated into any 'kick/warn/ban' documents that you have in your secton.
