Frankly, I have had enough of this server group. I have seen better coordination on a public German CSS server, since the admins actually know what they are doing.
This server group is largely based on who is in and who is out. One person will decided whether someone is in or out (in my case, mingebagger) then the rest of you cave dwellers follow the assumption like sheep, as if I am a saber-tooth and you are cavemen defending your precious fire. The admins make em sick to my stomach, especially Moo. Moo, although an admin, takes no part in the servers upkeep or well being, and is not devoted to keeping it safe. he simply plays and bans whoever he feels like. Today I witnessed 2 of these banes, one being my own. The other admins, such as Ruben, are sparsely active and when they are, ignore what is going on around them. And what is with the free ability to vote ban/kick? 90% of your respected users I would not trust with a sharp pencil. With no real structure, and what little structure that exists being more social than literary, I am suprised that the server has not collapsed. But it has not. Why? Because the people that thrive on this type of structure are the very people I see daily on it: underage users and people with mental disabilities. I have seriously had people says 'YOU CANT KICK ME I AM AUTISTIC I AM ALLOWED TO PROP PUSH BECAUSE I AM DISABLED YOU ARE RUINING MY RIGHTS". The main thing here is rights. What right does a user have on this server? Like most servers, laws do not apply to it, which is ok. This is why the proper appliance of adminship is crucial which loops this back to Moos incompetence. He is very much the ring leader in this cesspool, with whatever he says goes. The average votekick and ban here runs on the basis of threat: people threaten to initiate, rather than warn, usually for a silly reason much like "I don't like you"(sabbath) "You are new"(mingebagger) and, finally but probably most importantly, "I am respected, you are not, I am better than you"(pretty much everyone). I have demonstrated this with my own respected status. Pretty much 100% of all kicks and bans I have handed out have been on a silly basis, such as "I don't like you". yet no one complains, because is this tightly knit, inbred community that is how it works. And the sad thing is this black spot on the gaming communities face will stay, but frankly, I find that a good thing. This server group keeps all the kids out of my TF2 game, the ragers out of my L4D2 game and the mentally challenged out of my CoD: waw game.
In short, keep this server group up, please. Don't give it up for a slight second. It is like sugar, with its users being insects, keeping you off the good meat of the gaming community. Although the only person this server will ever see with a slight brain has left, I am sure your server group will continue to keep its good inflow of kids.
