Its always perma-banning with you guys... I swear every time i go in the servers its just a constant stream of requests for me to perma-ban people for every slight affront they have received throughout the course of the week.

You know, last time i checked, people didn't get sent to prison for hitting someone in the back of the head with a rubber band.

The times I ever had to permanently ban someone, I can count on one hand.

For me at least i feel the punishment should fit the crime...
For example:

A Kick/jail/explode/20deaths etc.: Someone is being an ass, prop pushing, spamming, etc. for the first or second time
1 Hour ban: Person immediately rejoins the server and continues action.
1 day - 1 week ban: I notice someone has been causing major problems numerous times

I find most of the time, all i have to do is kick someone, and that usually is enough to send them a clear enough message and then they stop. It's only in very few cases that i have to actually resort to banning someone.

The only things i ever perma ban for, is DDOS'ing someone, hacking, or is evading bans.


Something that does irritate me to no end, is when a respected user decided I'm just an idiot and don't know what I'm doing, and am obviously going to let this horrid violator get away with what ever that are doing. So they take it upon them selves to vote-ban someone, and 99% of the time, they do it right in the middle of me attempting to kick/ban them.

I tend to revoke people's respected when they do that to me.

Why is this irritating to me? Well, I have an entire arsenal of things I can do to someone to punish them without resorting to banning them.

Lets see I suppose... it's been somewhere ~4 years for me... so do I get a cookie or something?

So think about that, all you 14 y/o's out there, I started playing in random servers when you were 10 years old...

Otherwise, welcome and thank you for posting, but it might be a wise decision to expand upon your application, read the format shown at the top of the forums, and try to model your application on it, but for now I suppose this will be acceptable!

Good luck!

what about for super admins and the owner?

In game, it remains the same.

However out of game, Coolz can just add people manually to the ban-list.

Or a more accurate method:

1. Find a name changer

Jerk: I HAtez JOO
Xrain: Ever floats your boat
Jerk: IMMA Gunna FAKEN YOUR NAMEZ!!11!1
xRAIN: SEE? I FAKEDS IT
Xrain: Oh the humanity

2. Fire up your Quantum Entanglement Analyzation Preamplifier (QEAP)

3. Make sure the Quantum Proxy humidifier is full

4. Use the QEAP to measure the quantizative normalizations between you and the suspected name changer

5. Fire up your Hyperbolic Mass Accelerator (HMA).

6. Once Positive Quantizative Normalization has been verified, use the pythagrian theorm, using the number from the QEAP as A, and the speed of light (c) as b.

7. Input the resultant C into the Hyperbolic Mass Accelerator normalizer.

8. Once the HMA cycles, open the Quantum Reactant Chamber and take out the slice of toast that appeared.

9. Add the slice of toast to your library of other suspected name changers.

- Problem dealt with!-

The main problem is, that flood doesn't support a long term game play experience. So basically it gets boring really fast, and that makes it tough to keep regular admins on the server. So an admin might start out on the server every day, but eventually it gets too boring and repetitive, so the admin moves on. The only way I could see keeping regular admins on the server, would to add a new admin every few weeks or so, and that would not be a good solution.

The game-play faults also goes along way to explain the high minge amounts, most people start off just fine, and play the game how it should be played, but after a while they run into a wall where there are really no new experiences to be had, but they spent so much time into it they really don't want to leave so they find other ways to entertain themselves and this usually leads to breaking rules.

The other issue that takes place, is the high entry requirements of the game, when you start out, you only have a crappy pistol. But almost everyone else has rocket launchers and the like. And since you have a limited amounts of funds you cant build a very strong boat leading to it being killed almost immediately.

The third issue, is how the reward system works. Only the people who win the round gain money. There is no way for a person who is broke to gain any cash, other than to jump onto other people's boats leading to the problem of piracy. People often complain about money rounds, I know I do, but there is a good reason why it has popped up. That's because it's the players way of attempting to correct a game fault, it just happens that this method takes a long time and is very boring.

I could continue all day long on other faults of the game mode, but I think I outlined a few of the less talked about ones.

Flood is a game that is at a in-house beta, or alpha level of finish. It's not so much as its buggy, more like its just the base start of a game and no content or balancing has been added to it.

It has a lot of potential, but in it's current form it is very incomplete. So it really shouldn't be run full time on a server, not at least until some more effort has been put into its development.
