@ anti there is nothing staff can do unless it became a rule to not "grotty gang". There were no one with two accounts on at the same time (or from the evidence provided there has been none) and it would not be considered meta gaming. Now if it was him grotty ganging on cop to civ, medic to civ, etc. then it would be considered metagaming. So there are two things that you think he broke, and both are not rule breaks, or have a lack of evidence provided to actual punish the member doing this.
So admins and mods are unable to have fun with their friends on this server? There are a lot of people who are not staff that are our friends and we play with? Just because a gang that has a few staff members (mods & admins) is doing something that is trying to fuck over another gang does not mean anything. When it comes down to it, people can do whatever the fuck they want on the server, so long as they follow the rules and or aren't skirting the rules it is OK. Sure it may fucking suck, but there is no rule break so you can't ban/kick/etc. them. If a staff member knew about it they could say "hey stop that" but they can't force them to stop besides doing something gang-wise.
Gang members that are not staff and or support team cannot be forced to be "held to a higher standard". If the staff member is a leader or even if the leader wants to enforce that then 100% then can do that, but if its not enforced by their gang leaders then there is nothing anyone can do. Why should a regular player be expected to be held to a higher standard just because they play with a staff member. The staff member 100% is held to a higher standard no matter what, but if its not breaking rules, looking poorly on staff, etc. then why does it matter.
The only ranks that are held to a higher standard are Staff, Support team, Sr's of the R&R & APD, Head civ council. That is because of their positions. Majority of civ council are just regular members of the server just like the rest of the people who play the server. However, they have the ability to put down ideas and attend meetings to push ideas for the server. There is no need for them to be held to a higher standard.
I have seen FAR worse on this server in my 4+ years on it. Sure they caused you a bit harm, but take it as a lesson. You gotta be careful who you invite to your gang, especially when promoting people. Gangs that have been around for a while, leaders that have been around for a while, etc. often times pay attention to who they are recruiting and promoting. It is not our fault that you recruited Farrell into your gang, whether or not it was on an alt account or even if we knew about it. Its not against the rules, we can't do anything about it. I mean someone could have given you a heads up, but thats about it.
take it as a lesson. Don't go and complain about it on the forums. this is exactly what he is looking for a REACTION, which is what most of the people that fuck with you do. They are looking for a reaction from you. Its a scuffed thing, but nothing against the rules so there is nothing staff can enforce.
Also take this from a Staff member that has never been in Cabal, and probably one of the most hated staff members by Cabal.
Hahahaha. Actually funny as fuck. Ryan used to hate me back in the day when he first got owner. I would call him out for all his bullshit and biasedness back then. As I said in the past, at the beginning of his ownership he was biased and it was scuffed, but he has greatly improved over time. Most of the time when a staff member is promoted Ryan lets the admins, mods, and Sr's deal with that and IF he does, he will be the last one to say anything, that way no one has a biased towards whatever he says.
It seems you really have a lot of problems @ Tez with this server and how it is run. Maybe its best that you just walk away if you are this upset with it. That is up to you though.
