No warnings?

[SATAN]

This is just something thats been bugging me, i see a lot of people getting mad about not getting warnings before getting banned for something other than racism or hacking, but most admins say that the rule is that they dont have to warn anymore and thats why the message of day is there.

And on the other hand i saw a post last week or so from Haggard saying that all admins should give a written warning or a kick before banning.

Only thing I have to add is ALL admins should be giving out writen warnings OR kicks before they move to a ban. This is our policy and it will be followed. If a player feels he is being banned without warning, keep your console and take a screen shot.

*This does not apply to racists and hackers.

So what is it really? this is not something that happened or will happen to me personnaly cause im a saint in game(ironic huh?), but im just curious as to what the rule really is.

I think a warning or kick is fair.

MOTD isn't a warning how many people actually read it? Then even if they do they might not know they have done something wrong, or it could be completely accidental. Banning them straight off isn't fair, If you warn someone you stop them doing it mostly and then if they continue ban them.

The job of admins is to make sure the server has fun whilst being fair right? So I don't think banning people for one off wrongs or accidents isn't making people happy and it means more people will have to appeal but they get rejected anyone even if its an accident because the persons story is never believed unless they have proof but why would they when it was an accident.

I think a kick is our warning. I will still give out a warning before I kick. This is a rule that admins should be using.

the admins are constantly giving out warnings, by spamming the green admin text every few minutes or so

I always warn everyround.
And people still ignore so thats then there fault.

And if they dont read the motd then thats there fault.

People should read the important things and dont just ignore it.
Thats whathappens most of the time.
And then they complain they didnt got warned then they should better look at it. I always see admins giving out warnings to people.

I dont say to the thread starter this but just what happens on the servers.

Zero please go read the read in the SA area.

I totally agree, i've been playing on the server for a few days now and i've seen about over 100 warnings in the green text. In maps that bring the worst out of people with tking and locking teammates out the message gets spammed just about every round. A kick is a fair warning because they can just press tilde and see what they were kicked for, or, if you put a message with the kick such as
"Kicked
Reason - Excessive mic spamming next time it will be a ban"

And if they still argue that they didnt get a warning after that I don't think thats the admin's fault at ALL, because the player was obviously being a dips--- to get kicked in the first place it's there fault if they come back and act up again.

Thats just my opinion.

kick = warning

[bones brigade]

from what i see most bans are made before warning or anything. i do notice the messages but some people dont read them or are caught up in the game and dont get a chance. i believe they should just give a warning so people know whats going on. there probably be far less bans if the admin just warn them than just relying on those things that tell you. its just my opinion though.
