Abusive Admins

[Connors116 0]

Just wondering where I could report some abusive admins (or at least, destroy their reputation) as I have video footage of their incredible hostility towards everyone on the server and childlike manners. They're all underage, making me question how any of this even happened. I believe one went and gave all of his friends colored names, but I still want to know where I can go.

This should probably be posted in ban requests. We take these sort of accusations seriously - but do be aware that donors can also have colored names and initiate votekicks/bans by themselves. It sounds like a donor abuse problem.

Here's a guide on how to request a ban: http://forums.gamingterritory.com/topic/18424-how-to-request-a-ban-read-first/

And here's a list of our admins: http://forums.gamingterritory.com/topic/22761-lotus-server-admins/

Also, in case someone is acting up like this, you might as well try the !calladmin feature.

We're not always available, but if we are, we show up instantly.

1. There is a Ban Request section on this site here. Please read the sticky topic for how to submit a ban request. You'll benefit from recording a demo, taking a screen shot of the console status, and linking us to any relevant chat logs (which are available on the stats page).

2. The user's name being a different color than the default doesn't mean they're an admin. Players who donated to the server can change their name colors. One of the donor perks is the ability to initiate a vote instantly without requiring other players to request the vote too. This would be the primary way it could constitute donor abuse, if the player repeatedly starts votekicks or votebans for reasons that do not merit kicking or banning (such as votekicking someone because you don't like them, because they're spawncamping, or because they keep killing you).

3. Admin impersonation is bannable, so if they claimed to be an admin, show us. Even if they did nothing else worthy of banning, if they're not actually an admin, they can be banned for that alone.

4. We can't "give our friends colored names" unless by that you mean someone donated to the server for all their friends at some point prior to the last server reset.

5. Can you please give more details about what actually happened, post the video you mentioned so we can see it for ourselves, or link us to the chat logs?
