colombia abusing his power.

[AngryAngel]

Hello,

I'm really furious at the moment. An admin named ">colombia<" should not be an admin. He does not know how to use his power. There were a few who were bugged (spectate glitch) and I had to ask those people 1000 times to reconnect. Eventually, they did and I thanked them. Then later, there was some spammer who kept spamming with his buying script all the time, >colombia< wasn't even paying attention to that for at least 10 minutes, then later he decided to kick him. The spammer kept spamming, he kicked him again and eventually banned him for 15 minutes.

Then all of a sudden he said that I was stuck and asked me to reconnect. He asked me twice in a period of ~20-30 seconds. I was in a middle of a round so I didn't reconnect. When I died - I reconnected, when I did - after 5-10 seconds I was banned. Basically >colombia< gave me 1 warning, I did what he asked, I reconnected and he banned me.

Below is the chat log:

I dont see abusing, maybe because he's a new admin

Also why did u call him an idiot?

i asked you to RS pc because you had specbug  i warned you 3 times ! and we are allowed to ban people for 5 minutes when they have specbug and three warnings if i were another admin! i would have banned after first warning i'm to easy  and next time! don't insult people!! have respect for the other players  read please   CS/Ambrosia/Server rules to know more about rules

He told you that you had specbug and you replied by calling him an idiot. You don't need to think too much to know what's going to happen next.

If you paid closer attention you'd notice that I called "Info" an idiot.

You're not supposed to restart computer, you are supposed to reconnect and if you read the log, you would clearly see that I did. If you are allowed to ban people for "specbug", why did you not ban anyone else? Why did you not ask for them to reconnect? I was the only person whom you banned. You weren't paying attention when I asked you many times to kick someone because they were not reconnecting. You asked me 2 times in LESS than a minute. I was in a middle of a round, that's when you were asking. You asked many times in a short period of time. Judging by your writing (childish grammar/spelling), excessive usage of smileys, etc. I can safely assume that you are not even 18. On forums you are acting like an angel, in-game you are not that kind of a person.

Is camping against the server rules? You kept spamming the entire server saying "I will slay campers". We both know the reason for it - you kept getting killed by them, but as far as I know - camping is not against the rules. You have slapped at least 2 players who have killed you and you said because they were camping.

Anyway, I suppose you are a paid admin for a reason.

He told you that you had specbug and you replied by calling him an idiot. You don't need to think too much to know what's going to happen next.

Judging too quickly - 1, common sense - 0.

Also, just by doing a little research:

It seems as if I am not the only one who thinks that he should not be an administrator.

[Alves]

You were banned for 15 min or permanently?
About camping, it is specified in the server rules that you can't. (http://www.ambrosia-servers.com/forum/index.php?/topic/13-dust-2-only-server-rules/)

Why are you bringing this up now? Those situations were solved, you should focus now on your topic.

I was banned for 15 minutes. Those situations were resolved, correct.
I am simply pointing out that I am not the only one who considers him not such a great administrator.

[Colombia]

angry the highstaffs can read all what i said  and camp is oke! but not all 2 minutes!  you' re right! i warned TS because the others players were complainig and be honest! do not say that i abuse of my rights! and remeber! if you stay with the rules! nobody will never again! ban you

[Jack.cN]

That is actually half abuse.

First he didn't call you an idiot.

•    

*DEAD* AngryAngel :  info

•    

>colombia< :   Rs now please angyangel

•    

*DEAD* AngryAngel :  You idiot
[/list]

Second you should rs you CS like he told to, since you have spec bug. Later on you said: AngryAngel :  I don't have any bugs.

Simple you can't see those bugs, only the person who spec you can see it.

[Lacoste]

he even told me dont abuse ur power cuz i slapped camper or he will report me. I wish u reported me not colombia
get life guys and stop stalking admins.

At the end you get freehaters

Hate without reasons
Back to topic:
Nip format:
Obey admin 1 Don't obey admin 0
- ban for 5 mins

[Colombia]

agree!

[AngryAngel]

This entire community is probably not the right one for me. The sheer stupidity and childish behavior is frustrating to watch. An administrator is supposed to behave maturely, not like a 12 year old over-excited raging child. The so called "Head Admins" are seemingly useless. So far - 3 of them had a look at this topic and none replied. There are a few people who do have some brain development and that is the reason why I am still playing in the server/reading the forums.

Anyway, nothing will obviously be done about this, despite the fact that >colombia< already had a topic about him (which was just 2 weeks ago).

You can close this topic.

? u want to lock the topic already..

Having a look at the console thing then if it's not faked or some things cut out, then the guy did reconnect after admin's request, but got banned straight away not even getting the chance to see if he was no more bugged. You can't tell if a person is dead if he is bugged or not, only when he is alive. So it all depends on what really happen. Also yet I can understand the frustration from the player if he did see some other players with a spectator bug, but admin didn't noticed them. It happens, happens to all of us time to time.

About camping. It's not allowed, unless if CT rushes in the map where T should rush.

Hi m8

With respect....

• Your first post on this forum is driven by anger (you certainly live up to your name) So it's hardly surprising to see the negative responses, regardless of whether you are right or wrong.
• I don't think there has been any admin abuse by you whatsoever. I think what was said in the console message was just coincidental typing / timing.
• Next and most importantly, I don't think Columbia has seen you disconnect and rejoin the server. So he banned you thinking that your were ignoring him (that's how i see it, a genuine mistake).
  
• Please do not judge somebody's mental ability on their level of English grammar. English is obviously not his native language....
  
• Columbia is a new admin. He is learning the role, therefore please give him time. If there were NO admins on server would it be better? I think not.

Contrary to your first impressions of this community, people here are actually nice. Stick around (if you haven't been scared off), you are most welcome :)

Providing that the pasted logs is correct then i would say that this is just a case of mis-understanding. Columbia may have not realised that you reconnected since it happened quite quickly and decided to ban you for 5 mins based on this. However, i do sympathise with you since the spec bug is something that we just have to deal with on the server.

Admins i think we should relax on the specbug issue! It takes players ages to connect to the D2 server and if they are asked to reconnect after spending 10 minutes trying to connect than they would be very agitated. I would only personally asked spec buggers to reconnect if i suspect that they might be cheating. Take for example, i may usually check there scores on the forum, observe there kills and look out for any players that accuse them of WH etc. This is quite judgemental so its down to the admins abilities to determine this.

Mr Angel...
After seeing your psychological overview of a paid admin i can say : A new player against a admin?
What nerve you got for this capability telling ambrosia that a administrator doesn't know how to do his job.
Past reports matter, and if you mark people on past events then you are choosing a wrong path therefore indicating that you are familiar and act like: Anticiopersonalio - Person who always judge on past (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080520054745AATsqMd)
Also in the answers>
Is not always right to judge people in the past depending if they changed their ways, and this is a psychological weapon in any court for their past events including abuse of his administrating. And you are trying to get away with that, or just win the case from the past evidences or issues?
If you are bragging about past events then tell me...
Did he get demoted at least? Nope...
Epic fail for you sir....
Calling him and compering a admin with a "adolescent" is a wrong choice for you. Nothing will be accomplished. When you have some real legal and decisive  evidence present them again.
Good bye Mr. Angel

Angry Angel we slap/slay for base camping. You should not have called an admin or any other person an idiot, we condemn this kind of behaviour on our servers. Please bear in mind Colombia is a new admin and does make few mistakes, I have not seen him actually abusing his power.
However we dont ban more than 2-5 minutes for a spec bug and it has been discussed now that spec bug is well... a bug and someone always has it on server and admins ask to restart pc only to the players that they want to spec and cant.
Please also remember admins are humans beings and we can not see every single thing going on in server, no need to insult someone's grammar and spelling this is not a creative writing board and members are from all around the globe, therefore we do not require outstanding English language skills from the members. Reading all your posts you look more like a raging child than Colombia, also no need to insult this community, if you don't like it here there is a whole lot of places you can play, but if you stick around you will see that it is one of the best communities.

Reconnecting does help but you need to try few times to alter your position, either way restarting pc is better to get rid of a spec bug.
