I thought this started with assist admin going into servers undetected like merlin said. Thats the part thats not good from assist if its true?? I aint for admins who abuse. But I am for this is our rules and that applys to everyone. So if assist say from the start or even has to bring it in. Just as lobg as its up front terms. Same as server admin. They pay they make the rules as it says in so many servers. I banned only life bans on my server. One chance deal. At the begining I tried to tell people oh please read the rules. no early 203s/ Then arguing with clowns took its toll and it was then break a rules, your life banned. And it worked for me. I had a hardcore base of guys who new the rules never broke the rules and they enjoyed my server with its no nonsense approach. So everyone who liked my server stayed, because they knew there would be no crap just pure gaming.
Every thing just has to be upfront. Then theres no excuses.
But that's not power abuse, so that's perfectly ok, as long as rules are communicated upfront.
And we can not join servers as admins undetected. If we have admin rights, we have the special assist dev with it, and the pb power points like Merlin mentioned are not admin rights, they are kicking rights. But it's obvious that we have kicking rights as we can also ban people from whole of assist. How else can we stop catched cheaters from playing?
When we ban them from assist, they are not instantly kicked from a server, this is the way we can do that, but apart from the kicking rights, we do NOT have any other rights, since we do not need it for anything.
This falls perfectly within our responsibilities for anticheat without giving too many rights.
