There is a command for this, like a code you need to type, or is this assist related?. But, like you and koden pointed out, it still doesnt mean anything. Besides that, if he doesnt abuse it, i dont care anyway, since he is admin of the game.

as a player- / spectating admin you can give pb power for any player via console. Depending on the amount the user who has pb power can for example kick others out for some time by themselves.

Lol so some guy can just give himself power on any server, what else does he has access too, I remember back then when assist could basicly track everything you do on your pc or some shit lmao

way different subject that's been long gone,

Yeah but as I read he has pb power on private servers.. Which means somehow he has access to it or punkbuster idk

only server owners should be able to do that, he has no business giving himself power without consent of server owners,  even if it was to stay on top of pit, what he did is wrong and unacceptable

I don't fully agree. I agree that just kicking people should not always been allowed, however, I think every assist admin, should have kick rights, in order to immediately kick out cheaters.

If I ban a player from assist, he is still able to play as long as he is still in the server, wouldn't it be in everyones benefit if I can kick that cheater out as well - immediately?

I've seen some server admins abusing their powers like hell, while they use OUR assist server for authentication.
What gives them more rights to do this kind of stuff?

I think the above reason to have to kick rights should fully allow me to - in case it's necessary - join every server with admin rights, when it is needed to stop a cheater.

However, the rights should NOT be abused for kicking for no reason. As long as I do NOT see this happening, I'm totally fine to have an admin also handling anti-cheat having kick rights.

I'll ask you a very controversial question:
If an admin kicks me, just because he's powerhungry and doesn't like getting killed, can I then join as assist admin, and kick him, as he is playing on assist server ultimately?

In fact, it's exactly the same behaviour as he did, but as server admin, it seems to get tolerated, and as assist admin, shit just hits the fan.

- Note: This did not happen. I am against that kind of behaviour, I just want to open eyes that server admins should not be immune if they are being toxic. They have a privilege with responsibilities. If you abuse this, I think a punishment should be in place just to stop these practices from happening. This is in everyones benefit in the long term.

If I remember, players with lower PB Power can't kick someone with higher PB Power unless they are server admins
Theres a post in our private area, I asked for others to post their PB Guids so I could add them as well, but no one replied, I don't know other admins main accounts, neither their guids(we do not receive player pbguids unless they get a kick), thats why I just added mine, same for namelock.

I don't mind if people kick me, I just gather proof if they do so to see if they are abusing their powers, and take appropriate action when needed and confirmed.

Assist has no rights on anyones server.  Admin can do what ever they want on there server . The only rights assist have is to ban  cheats. Any thing other than this is abuse of assist power.

No no, it goes both ways, my friend.

Any Private server admin has no right whatsoever to abuse powers on our auth system, and we have no rights to abuse our powers on their servers.

It seems some PSA thinks they are invincible and can do what they want, this is toxic for the whole community. I've seen people gettting kicked because they spamshot the admin on the server, so he kicked and made  a new rule. This is toxic and should be stopped.

Assist should do what it can to stop toxic behaviour. This includes:
- Banning cheaters
- Temporary bans on severe exploits
- Temporary bans on excessive intentional teamkilling
- Appropriate actions for power abuse.

For all assist players, it is our job to create a pleasant environment for them, it is so for PSA, and for auth. I don't think it's fair to make a PSA invincible. He should act like a good PSA. Power abuse on assist will ruin it for other players.

Thats not how it worked on AA ever. SO now you believe you have the right to do this why?

They are on there own server thats what they pay for and its none of assists business. If people want to drop by for abuse thats up to there dumb ass, not yours. You dont need to protect them from abuse of that sort. All the players do is leave and its done. Simply nothing to do with AA or assist

Correct, correct,correct.

- Appropriate actions for power abuse.

Wrong wrong wrong Nonthing to do with assist.

For all assist players, it is our job to create a pleasant environment for them,

In the Forum and shout box yes it is. In the private servers no its not. Players can stay and be abused if there dumb enough. BUt it really doesnt happen.

His server his rules take it or leave it. How simples that? Not up to you to over ride a guy who pays the bills. Like I said AA never done it. you dont have the right. Even if you are doing it for a right reason. Its not you paying the server bill.

Yes he does rightly or wrongly he pays the bills. Thats is why you dont have the right togo over him.

And thats is freedom of choise. the players have the same freedom to leave the server empty.
