OKay there are a lot of blockers and noobs on the servers (Really speaking for the vip server) once an admin comes it, all stops. They just got away with rule breaking. Maybe an admin should have a choice with joining a server without the "thank you ______ for supporting us...." They can go under a disquised name and they could be banned wihtout being announced in chat.

Offtopic question: Is there an age restriction for mics on the vip server

Yeah i completley agree, if possible I think it'd be good if the admin doesnt have the name their admin in set in that message wont come up.

Did that today and caught a guy. If you need someone banned aja take screenshots or a demo, get their steam id and post them here. it doesnt take us long to read the complaints thread and make the ban

Admins come into the servers under false names all the time, you just have to be a ninja like me and russle them out of hiding

I think there is a way to come into the server without that, but sometimes people don't notice it (i don't read everything that appears down there when i'm running for my life)

I'm pretty sure they changed it so that now it just says "XXX has joined the game" but in green text. I haven't seen the thank you message in a while.

Its really annoying too, when your trying to suprise a hacker/mic spammer and that message gives you away. Any chance it can make like a banana and feck off?

It's okay Flux, assholes have a low tolerance for acting nicely, they give up and give you a reason to ban them five minutes tops.
Examples: Microshock.

I love how you weren't even here for that whole ordeal. Way to jump on the band wagon. It makes you so cool. It's called join dates moron.

word spreads fast on the interwebz...

People speak of the evil known as Microshock on Final Fantasy forums in Japan now...kids fear his name...a chill goes down everyone's spine at the very mention of his name!


OK, I am giving that kid too much credit, but people here know the trouble he caused and they might have told Mr. Polka here. :001_tt2:

w/e as for the hidden admin thing all the time. Its really no big problem. Most dont know what the [zm/sg] signature is. Oh and the ban appeals for micro are hilarious. maybe he read those

Maybe it should have two things to check if it should display that an admin has joined a game: checking both steam ID and name, for example. If an admin comes on, but without the correct name in the database, it would not display the green greeting text. If someone trying to fake an admin name joins, it won't show up because their steam ID doesn't match. And if an admin joins that is using their correct name, it will then display the greeting text.

All you gotta do is add an extra list of names to go along with the list of steam IDs that are given adminship. And then add a name checker to the boolean that checks if the steam ID corresponds to that of an admin.

Yes Desu, please be quiet if your going to try and attack potshot. Join dates on forums mean shit compared to join dates on the server, and he was around when Microshock was here. I've remembered playing in escape with both of them many times, Microshock being annoying of course and Potshot not so much.

Well, I've personally seen Microshock being banned, I dunno three times on escape servers, so I like to think of myself as being a primary source.
