I'm posting this today because there's been quite a lot of bad press kicking about around the Admins lately, and my experience on the server last night. I've got to say, I'm actually quite happy with their activity.
I was alone in Kavala last night on Server 1, playing Cop, and there was a decent bit of RDM going on. Then boosh, out of nowhere and without any warning, a wild Travis appears, swinging the ban hammer about like an absolute boss. it was a pleasant surprise.
Alongside that, I see a lot of Staff members kicking about actually playing the game. Even though they're playing the game, this is actually pretty effective because they get to experience the rulebreakers first hand and can be dealt with instantly instead of going through the route of a ticket. So I wouldnt always assume it is a bad thing when they play as, in my experience of being admin elsewhere, I always had my admin hat on even when enjoying myself and fooling around.
And finally, post by Poseidon just sums it all up. Even though the admins might not be present at all times, there are competent measures in place to ensure the best possible chance at catching the scum.
It kinda puts things into perspective when you're the only Cop in Kavala with about 20/25 people running around and every two seconds someone is screaming your name, and I only had that for three hours. I cant imagine how it feels to have it 24/7.
I guess I just wanted to say thanks.
