I think more admin and VIP activity could clear up a lot of the fog that makes the TTT server unhappy.

I gave up on it when the regulars started voting no on every kick I started, no matter how many times I explained the reason.

Have any other VIP's noted this kind of problem?

I'm not a VIP, but I've never seen it happen.

Well, I wouldn't know that it's still happening. I've been too preoccupied lately to get on the servers for more than a few minutes, and some of the regulars may have been demoted by now. I'm just saying that there's a lot of fixing to be done.

I've only had one failed vote since I was promoted due to the fact that only one afk reg was present, it is however extremely difficult to get people to realize what the offense committed was. You can yell over everyone but there is still some who can't hear, listening to music, have voice muted whatever the case may be and if you text it often times voice players and text players alike miss it. I know it's been said for the duration of the temp servers it's not coming but this should easily be solved by solidvote when perm servers come back, for myself at least. As for all the recent reg demotions I think we're walking on thin ice. As of now I have no complaints but what's to come from this new spur of demotions for being being "generally obnoxious" I'm uncertain. I simply would like to address my own concerns as well as those of many members of the community as they have spoken to me, in that the probability and ease of abusing is much higher if we don't draw a line somewhere. We trust our admins to make the right decisions but as a fact of being human we all make mistakes, rage, confusion, and power can block out our senses at times and I feel if we don't set some sort of criteria for demotions it could end up poorly.

this is important. DO NOT OVERLOOK
today i talked with v0 | LeoMarr and he said our server had a  problem, he then showed me a screenshot of his view of the current round. all these players where present at the time(so no questioning legitimacy)
here it is

http://zhost.tk/u/zc/hl2_2012-05-09_22-14-44-94.jpg
 It's a command called "PP_Pixelrender"
 And then adding this script:

 http://pastebin.com/yVE7TMJ2

he discovered the loophole from this website(it also tells how to safeguard your server)


http://www.zombiemaster.org/smf/index.php?topic=11304.0

bassically this is undetectable wallhacks,apparently the permanent servers where unprotected also. i hope this dosent get buried!

thanks. toehawk

On that subject:

One problem I've seen with others in some cases is when they start votes without making it clear why it was.  It doesn't happen VERY often AT all - in fact, it is rather rare, but I don't vote yes when a reason hasn't been clearly given / half the players are asking why a votekick/ban.

I kind of thought Leomarr was hacking, he seemed to get unusually lucky with killing traitors.

As in, killing two in one round after them not doing anything.

I'm the same. As regulars we are given a responsibility to vote properly on these things, what is the point if all we do is
vote yes when we have no idea what we are voting on.

I've never started a votekick without saying the reason in chat at least once, so I have no idea what you're talking about. I still haven't quite figured out why we can't just have a reason given along with the kick like we used to.

I didn't specifically mean you, what I am saying is if we don't know what the reason was for whatever reason,
we should at least try to find out why before voting yes/no.

Exactly, Pilgrim - and in the cases I've witnessed with others, whatever was being done was either subtle, or royally misconstrued, or in the scheme of things as minor as when < 5 people are on and we're dicking around with poltergeists.
