Why should some of these admins get respect? I respect most but I'm sorry, there are some who are just assholes. Just because you dress up an asshole doesn't meant he person isn't still an asshole. If you're an asshole, expect to be called an asshole and don't be an immature baby about it. Most the admins are good admins, they only slay if someone is slowing the game down, or mute someone if they are spamming the mic or messanger like a dick, and they only kick/ban if some one is being truly retarded or hacking. So then why should the one or two of the admins that are dicks get respect? For example, I said "I swear it seems like (name) is hacking lol. But it's prolly just cause I'm pissed" and normally most take it as a compliment that they are so good they seem like that. This dick just up and mutes me, another person said "wow, it's gay when you abuse your powers" (or something to that effect) and so that person got banned (not sure how long). I'm sorry, but if an ANYONE is a dick, be it any common person, admin, a senator, a business man, the president, or God himself, a dick is still a f*cking dick. I won't bother them about it but I am sure as hell not going to f*cking respect an asshole no matter what position they have. I mean, I won't go spamming like a dick saying they're assholes in game or it's unjust and I won't break the rules just to piss them off cause they did something immature to me.. nah, I won't sink to that level, but it would be nice to see people fess up to being assholes and accept they don't deserve respect no matter where they are in life.
And hey, this is a rant section, I'll rant to feel better :| but it's not even just about admins, I'm talking about anyone in general. If you're a dick, DON'T EXPECT RESPECT! I don't respect my teachers that are dicks, my friends that are dicks, anyone I meet, if they're dicks they don't get respect and they really should be men about it (it's usually men after all) and accept they don't deserve respect. And do believe me, I really do respect 90% of the admins (though I honestly don't know who all the admins are other than soulwind, mad hatter, stoned hatter, cap'n, boost, inertia, the-dino, and scroll_lock) but if one is going to act like a dick I'm either going to lose some respect or have no respect for said person. Understand, that doesn't mean I won't disrespect the rules of the server such as don't slow down the pace of the game (I only ever camp as CT if we are getting rolled by rushing T every round and I only move slow if there's 5:1 for T to CT ratio), I don't spray nasty sprays, I don't mouth off to an admin (if ever I'm considered it's usually joking and they know I am), and I don't hack for sure lol. So I will respect the rules but realize I will not respect ANYONE I don't deem worthy of said respect. And hell, if an admin is screwing around that's fine, but it's obvious when they're screwing around and just being asshats.
In really short summary, I hate anyone who thinks they deserve respect when they are such asshats they really don't
