Can someone please configure mani so that we can voteban/votekick hackers? Something like a 50% vote to ban someone would be great.

We have plenty of admins on that police the servers. I don't think we really have need of it. If an admin isnt on and you need one, just get on Vent and call someone in.

You've haven't been around when the servers go down, for some reason, and we go invade someelse's server. We basically voteban everyone and make it our own which is one of the many reasons we do not do it on our own server.

It doesn't increase server load, and it really helps with catching cheaters... There are quite a few BoSs on, but not that many admins. I've seen about 5 times or so when there was a cheater who ruined the entire game. Nobody could do anything.

[Iceman]

If you are afraid that someone will voteban everyone, maybe increase the % to something like 80?

I've never had that problem before ont he 3 servers i've managed.

Always fun when you catch someone and it's their server. :D

part of the reason i wanted to become an admin was because i play at wierd times of the day and often someone needed kicking and i was unable to do it. If we could safeguard the system to prevent admins from being kicked i think votekick (definately not voteban) might be a decent idea.

That would be ok by my book, but there is almost always someone sitting around on Vent or trolling the forums here. Shouldn't be overly hard to find and admin in most cases.

Mani admin can be configured so that admins cannot be kicked by admins, not sure if this is something that would make admins tolerant to the voteban/kick as well if voted upon from other users... Might be worth it to check it out?

Do you really think that it is a problem though? I've never seen or heard it be done before.

[*CHILIDOG*]

yes it is most definately a problem. We have gone into other servers when ours were down and votebanned everyone that was there out of them.

[Iceman]

What if it was 90%?

[RogueAlly]

Then it would be ineffective for normal usage. Odds of getting a 90% in a server is slim to nil.

[Iceman]

If that would rule out the worry of having someone accidentally banned, then it would still be very useful. It is just upsetting to play and then have everything ruined because nobody can take care of the hacker :/

I guess there is no way we could get this added?

[*CHILIDOG*]

the question is really whether we need it. There are enough admins that if you came here as you are now and made a post saying "it's 6 o clock pm and there is a hacker in server 1," it would be dealt with.

[Iceman]

Alright, i'll give that a try then and see how it works out.

Voteban/votekick are so worthless, especially on an admined server. The voting is so easy to get around. You can leave the server at any time during the voting process and return with a clean slate. Also, perhaps it can be configured, but every voteban server I've ever been on was a 5 minute ban only. So basically you wait your 5 minutes and come back anyway.

[DarkShadow]

the entire voting system is bullshit imo, just get on vent and ask for an admin if one is not present imo.

[Iceman]

I've seen it work in so many cases, very seldom does the guy leave and then come back (but it does happen).

I'll hop on vent next time, it seems like you guys hang around their a lot.

Yeah there are alot problems with votekick/voteban, but like a year ago or something when i used to play surf on the TAG servers, they had this thing where votekick and voteban were disabled when an admin was on, so like if there was an admin in the servers if you typed in votekick or voteban, it would say that an admin is in the servers and that it was disabled.. that was pretty cool
