Ban Appeals / Dav3
« on: Friday, January 10, 2014, 21:03:19 PM »
- Player Name: Dav3
- Battletracker ID: http://battletracker.com/index.php?page=AAOPlayerStats&pid=811450
- Reason: I was banned for talking smack. This game is rated what, T for teen? And has a built in language filter. Its bad enough anyone gets banned at all for talking smack but for a permanent one? What is this, habbo hotel?

General Chat / 2 Trial Public Community Administered Servers hosted by .^a
« on: Saturday, November 30, 2013, 14:20:22 PM »
We have set up 2 Public Community Administered Servers as something new to try. - In addition to the AAO 2.5 "official servers"

We have 6 servers up at the moment, and 2 are being run in this manner to begin with. We can make additions and or changes if it is successful or requested. - These are run on a dedicated server and a server connection ( Not in someones closet ) It is located in Canada. Pings for all North American players I have seen so far have been quite good.

Forums and website are still being worked on.

A Teamspeak server will also be setup for all players to join. A channel for each server, with sub channels for each team - Def and Assault

In a nut shell / the idea:

1.) These servers are going to have various admins that are not members of the Above Average clan - .^a

2.) These players are going to be reviewed, deemed responsible, and have vague guidelines as to how to administer the servers ( They can not just go around doing w.e they feel like, banning anyone and everyone for bs reasons or swap the map if people are using it ) - In an attempt to keep options available for AA2.5 players and help in the success of the game. ( More specifically North American server options )




_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

                                         The admin guidelines / "rules" if you will:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

                                        1.) Map selection and changing:


I.) If the server is empty - Change it as you please or feel would be a popular choice - No restriction.

II.) If the server has UNDER 6 players - Do not change - If it stays at relatively few players for quite some time, make an attempt to get input from the players if they would like to try a new map ( if more people are not joining ) - Remember there are 2 at the moment so you can always start the 2nd on a different map

III.) If the server has OVER 6 players - Leave it be - If there is suggestions for a new map / map change - ask in "admin message" a few times to gain the attention of players - ask for suggestions, then conduct a vote. - Aim to keep the MAJORITY happy. Aim for a total of at least 50% favor in the new map - If people do not respond, just leave it be. - Remember there are 2 at the moment so you can always start the 2nd on a diff map so long as it is not active.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

                                        2.) Banning / moderation:


There are 3 general reasons to ban and all will be covered. Cheating / hacking, abuse, and team killing.
If you ban someone - you are to note it down in forums, all bans will be reviewed and should have a reason

I.) Cheating / hacking: NEVER ban on a "whim" - Obtain solid proof, post suspicions on forums - if deemed a hacker / cheater, they will be permanently banned. - Or of course if it is an outright crazy hacker killing everyone - ban then then inform via forums.

II.) Abuse: No abuse or harassment toward players or admins will be tolerated. Talking shit and joking around is of course absolutely fine and ENCOURAGED. - DO NOT make judgment and act as an admin if you merely see people swearing or talking shit. - If however someone is tossing racist lude harassing comments at a user or admin - warn them. If they continue Mute them. Do not ban these players unless they escalate further to TKing for example.

III.) Team Killing: Accidental team kills are of course not of concern - Intentional TKs are to get a warning. Then a temporary 3 day ban. If a player is deemed a repeat offender it will be a permanent ban until or if it is ever appealed or reviewed.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

                                        3.) General admin / moderator conduct:

I.) Follow the above guidelines. - Aim to make these servers successful and aid in the AA2.5 community thriving.

II.) Be respectful, fair and "professional" at all times.

III.) Do not be obnoxious or power happy - Do not make threats, abuse your power, or be obnoxious spamming in admin message and admin say.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


Complaints against admins / moderators will be taken seriously - but have proof. Bans and conduct will be reviewed if needed.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _






Lastly, who agrees those are fair non biased admin guidelines and is interested in having admin to 2 servers?

Admins should be known to be fair and respectful, and liked among the community - If I dont know you we would like brief background info.

Details can be hammered out, suggestions are always welcome.

« on: Friday, November 15, 2013, 17:50:16 PM »
Rapture coming into 82nd power tripping and threatening to ban us FROM ASSIST for joking around. He threatened to ban me and others for joking around calling someone a mole and hacker ( obviously jokingly ) because she goes in everyones ts yapping and what not.


Yet he harasses people all the time and runs his mouth non stop.

his wife intentionally tks me.

he uses hacks any time he wants and calls it "testing"

He is a horrible admin and making yall look bad.

eliz or spanky send me a ts or something this is ridiculous you give some power happy guy admin because he edits maps and now he just abuses his "power"

So based on this poll: http://aao25.com/general-chat/auto-hot-key-bans/

Eliz made the decision to listen to the "majority" and make it a permanent ban for using it.

Ok, now lets examine a few of the serious flaws in what just happened:



1.) W!ck!d - the guy who STARTED the poll didnt even know its abilities. HE STATED HIMSELF:

"as i was told what it does

Uses:
With the push of one button a whole clip are emptied in a second.
Could also be made to simulat"



MEANING - he doesnt even know what it can do! How can he even make a proper educated selection on the outcome of people using it if he doesnt EVEN FUCKING KNOW HIMSELF what it does?!?!


2.) NO ONE ELSE who voted even knows what it does so how the fuck can you make decisions based on some retarded poll that doesnt give ANY important information to make a fucking educated guess?





I am blown away at the ridiculous shit going on. Its all on a whim and nothing is thought through nor based on actual knowledge or FACTS.










Among all the other issues with this community and game we are now going to make extremely important changes to "policies" based on stupid community run polls where people are not given VITAL information to make important informed decisions?

Truly fucking insane. Give your fucking heads a shake.

Bug Reports / Insurgent Camp - few bugs where you are invisble from certain angles...
« on: Monday, October 21, 2013, 09:22:08 AM »
So, IC being the best map ever made....Has 2 bugs that I know of.

If you go there you are completely invisible to the enemy / anyone who is looking at that place from certain angles. But at the same time you have full visibility from these spots and can shoot and kill.

Im not going to post them publicly since they get abused enough and the fewer people who abuse bugs the better. If anyone with map editing abilities has the urge to fix them leme know and I can send details.

I dont know what the policy is for editing original maps...but some vague details - its quite small spots behind relatively small objects.




I ask no real hero pop out and make bugs common knowledge and report them instead with the hopes of being fixed.

Feedback & Suggestions / Do you have the massive SAI font enabled or disabled?
« on: Friday, October 18, 2013, 16:51:47 PM »
Simple question. Do you have the massive SAI font enabled or disabled?

This thread is not to argue nor stir sh1t up. Im interested in seeing how many people play with the font huge or not.


Info if you are unfamiliar with the scenario:

Default font was made huge. If you were unaware - it is possible to revert back to default but you need to edit bDisableCustomConsoleFont=True


Assist > Settings > SAI Settings > bDisableCustomConsoleFont=True


I should almost add a 3rd option of: I was unaware I could make it smaller.

General Chat / Terms of service...questions and a few things that are worrysom.
« on: Thursday, October 10, 2013, 17:42:19 PM »
   (iv) takes "screenshots" of the Licensee's computer screen at any given time while Assist is running
                       without notice to the Licensee.



Ever have assist running while not having AA open? or minimize? stay in server?

Its "randomly" taking SS of my pc while im out of game? thats bs. you have no right to be looking at anything on my screen other than strictly game involved.





Then there is all this :

The Licensee is considered violating the Terms of Service if you, the Licensee:
   (i) Harass, threaten, embarrass, or do anything else to another player that is unwanted, such as repeatedly
        sending unwanted messages or making personal attacks or statements about race, sexual orientation,
                     religion, heritage, etc.
   (ii) Transmit or facilitate distribution of content that is harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive,
                       vulgar, sexually explicit, defamatory, infringing, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, or in
                       a reasonable person's view, objectionable. Hate speech is not tolerated.
   (iii) Disrupt the flow of chat in AA with vulgar language, abusiveness, use of excessive shouting [all caps] in
                       an attempt to disturb other users, "spamming" or flooding [posting repetitive text].
   (iv) Impersonate another person (including celebrities); indicate falsely that you are a Dev, or attempt to
                       mislead users by indicating that you represent Assist or it's Devs.
   (v) Attempt to get a password, account information, or other private information from anyone else on Assist
                      or AA.
   (vi) Promote or encourage any illegal activity including hacking, cracking or distribution of counterfeit software.
   (vii) Upload files that contain a virus or corrupted data.
   (viii) Use or distribute "auto" software programs, "macro" software programs or other "cheat utility"
                        software program or applications.
   (ix) Modify any part of the Assist service.
   (x) Post and/or distribute any player's real-world personal information inside Assist or AA.
   (xi) Attempt to interfere with, hack into or decipher any transmissions to or from the Assist or AA servers.
   (xii) Use and/or distribute exploits to gain an unfair advantage in a game.
   (xiii) Interfere with the ability of others to enjoy playing AA.





ALL of that should be per server administration really. Someone "embarrass" someone and u have the "right" to ban?






Seems you guys are still crossing some lines and leaving loops so you can essentially ban anyone for any reason you want.

Since people generally dont get banned for no reason that isnt my main concern as the 1st one I mentioned of the SS being taken of peoples comps. Only condition needed is assist running / open.

Bug Reports / Suspicious Admin Login........banned from own server bug....UGH
« on: Tuesday, October 01, 2013, 17:35:35 PM »
Well I know im not the only one who gets this bug....

What causes it and can I do something to avoid it?


Happens every other day. Has even happened consecutively before as well.

Results in the user being banned for a random amount of time? Other admins view ban list and its empty...yet it still wont allow the affected person to connect saying they are banned.
Then 10-15 min later you can get in.- unless it happens again.
