Admin rules

[<hk>]

Admins should stick to rules. Here is what comes to mind.

The main purpose of an admin is to keep the server undisturbed. This can be enforced through kicking.

• Admins have to explain people beforehand why they are kicked.
• Admins have to give players a chance(warning) to fix the kick reason before they proceed to kick players. (e.g. stop flooding)
• Personal feelings stay at home.
• Disrespect for admins for their actions is not a crime and therefore shall not be punished. Unless it's personal.

If admins make up own rules they have to make them public. The server has a Message of the day function.

Any suggestions?

Well, those rules seem to sum it up pretty much in my opinion :p

But here's my 2 cents anyway:

• Admins should keep a log of players kicked (maybe even warned?), including used nickname, account name + id if known, server, reason, etc.
• Also, logs should be passed on to other admins on a regular basis and gathered in one main log, which can then be distrubuted amongst admins.
• Admins can't overrule current serveradmins such as lovet, but this only applies when those serveradmins agree on giving admin rights to the new admins on their server.
• When the previous is applied, newly appointed admins can (should) enforce the preferred rules when said serveradmins aren't online. Currently there are, as far as I know, no specific rules on either of the A*51 servers, but on lovet's server there's a "log or kick" policy when he's online, so in theory other admins should apply this rule without favouring anyone.

That's about it I guess :p

A while ago I wrote an admin system. You can use it via !admin. You don't have to know the rcon password and all actions are automatically logged into the database. I didn't include a "kick reason"-field, though(laziness). Unfortunately, lovet doesn't use it.

I am not a friend of lovet's rule. Also I don't really know if it is beneficial to spell out a hirachy.

That's pretty handy ;D and yeah I heard lovet doesn't use the usual admin system :p

I understand your point. In any case, would it be wrong for an appointed admin who respects (as a matter of speech) lovet's rule, to apply that rule (with proper warning of course) when said admin is on the server and lovet isn't? Or would that fall under "kicking for personal reasons"?

Administrators of the Q3DF servers shall comply my Q3DF Administrators Act. Penalties shall be imposed once any administrators contravened any of the sections.
