I vote  :thumbsup: to this! This will reduce the number of minges on the servers due to VIP's easily joining to kick/ban people.




Thank you Marie for the sprite.

Make only one reserved slot, for VIPs+. What does that mean? VIPs, Admins, SAdmins and owner can come in at any time and clean up.

I was honestly thinking this too, but it's more important for an admin to be able to come into the server to help than for a VIP to.
Because if there was a VIP in the server, then the admin wouldn't be able to join until the VIP left if the server was full.

Unless you're thinking of something else?

I've seen servers that would have a max of 16 players, but when an admin joined it would turn into 17/16. That way, nobody gets kicked.

Hmmm lets say you get a message from a friend and a person is rdm'ing everyone in TTT, they need a VIP to get on but the server is full, with VIP reserve slots, well 1-2 of them, it makes it easier on the players.

I like how 8 people (not including sabb and waffle's votes) voted no, but haven't even given a reason why not. That's what I want to find out lol.

The votes of people it's directly affecting shouldn't matter.

VIP's in TTT will most likely say YES due to being a little swayed at the fact they can join when the server is "full".

Other TTT players will most likely say NO because they feel like VIP's are getting special perks or something.


I think only the opinions of people who play on other servers that aren't full 24/7 (Wire, ZS, Fretta) are the ones that should actually count.

I believe at least 3 regular TTT players said yes because we are asked to help kick people, but we cannot because it's full.

Not only that, but even if the case is VIPs getting "special perks", it's just something else like being able to start a votekick/voteban as VIP and the ability to vote as Regular. Every rank has it's own "special perks" except Guest and JBanned by that logic.

I am just looking for a reason why it's a bad idea. Just saying VIPs will clearly vote yes doesn't show why this shouldn't be implemented.

In Layman's terms, some people would vote no cause they jelly, regardless of what you say to them.

I understand that, but even with that considered, the yes votes are about twice the no votes.

Votes can obviously be biased from VIPs, so allow coolz to decide.
Admins can also be biased, because they may see it as a perk, and don't feel it's right for VIPs to have any such perks.

Well obviously coolz gets the final decision. It is good to see public opinion though, and it shows 23-9 in favor of it.

So now that the public has spoken, let's just wait and see coolz' decision like you said.

We must now perform the ritual to call coolz...I've got the cookies, who's got the asbestos?

anyways, I don't think of it as much of a perk. Most of the time they will just deal with the problem and go back to what they were doing.
