I'm on the fence with this one, I can see why it can be handy but i also don't think its really that needed after all if things really did need help its better to call an admin in since they can insta-kick...

But that almost defeats the purpose of VIP. Are you supposed to normally call an admin whenever someone needs a kick, or are you supposed to do it yourself? VIPs are partially there in my opinion to make it so an admin doesn't have to be in the server 24/7.

Yes, but VIPs can't. I think it's always good to have AT LEAST one VIP in the server, for obvious reasons.

Not only that, but I don't see how 1-2 reserved slots for VIPs can be harmful in any way?

if the server is all full of trolls we couldn't even kick/ban if we wanted to our powers are depended on the people in the server.

I wasn't trying to say that where not suppose to do anything but when things get really bad we can't do nothing.

Only regulars can vote. If a regular is voting no on a clearly correct vote, you take a screenshot and report that regular and they get demoted.

Yet again, I still don't see how this would be harmful in any way...

Accidentally voted no.
I think it would be a good idea, but only 1 reserved slot...
If VIPs join it shouldn't kick someone like when an admin joins though.

I honestly don't understand how people don't like this idea.
Just doesn't make any sense to me.

I wasn't sure if I agreed with it at first because I don't think VIPs really deserve any perks on the servers, but it's not just a perk for VIPs, it's supposed to help manage the servers (which really needs to happen sometimes), though the majority of the time I can see it being used just as a perk and VIPs not really using it to get in the server to help.

Great idea. Especially for RDM'ers on TTT. You can't just disturb admins and tell 'em to join. Jman is always available but its always full. :thumbsup: this toast post

So that is 1 admin slot and 1-2 VIP slot(s) per server...so = 2-3 people not being able to play per server. That's quite alot since most servers are full & you have to wait a long time to get in...example: TTT and possibly Fretta

But the thing is about calling admins, many of them are either afk or gone. NOT POSSIBLE.

I see approx. 1-4 VIPs on a day, so that would be quite good...

If you hadn't noticed, the admin slot doesn't really work I don't think... The TTT server often has 16 people.

So two people vote no, but wanted to vote yes.


That means it is 20-8.
