Adding 2 letters to the Auto Admin
Posted: Wed May 02, 2012 2:50 amOk so here we go again. For those of you faint of heart when it comes to complaining I suggest you hit the back button on your browser immediately because this won't be pretty.
For months we had peace, for months we had quiet, for months we had whine and crying free servers. But now darkness has returned. It has returned and it has minions. That darkness is "Icerigger". He has become as reliable as "death and taxes" with his commentary on the game play of fellow players.
I know it is hard to boot or kick someone when they are only flaming" or "venting" but I would like to focus this in a different view. The constant wail from Ice is to call out BS whenever someone kills him. At this point he is only frustrated with getting killed which is natural. But then it is taken a step further. He calls the person a hacker, or a cheater. This changes the problem from player venting to a player disrespecting others. I know many here don't need it recited to them but I want to put this line in from the "SWGO SWBF2 Server Rules and Penalty Guidelines" thread.
No Disrespecting Admins or Other Players
Any comments that detract from the authority of an admin is considered disrespectful. Any comments that show contempt to an admin or other player will be considered disrespectful.
Penalties
1. Warning
2. Kick
3. 10 Minute Ban
4. Admin Option of up to 1 Week Ban.
This is the part I feel needs to be addressed when it comes to Icerigger, and those who feel the need act like him. His comments are rude, they demean the people playing against him, and they start fights and arguments between people.
AS A SIDE NOTE: I mention Icerigger because he is one of the most notorious ones out there for this type of conduct, but he is not the only. (G)crazy-duck, Ace-spades, are two of the others who come to mind. As I said before, this type of behavior is spreading because people think it's is acceptable.
Now I am not going to just complain and ask the admins to deal with it, I know it's a hard thing to enforce, that's why I titled this topic the way I did. I think a solution would be to add "BS" to the list of automatic warnings and kicks. Mainly because this is usually what kicks off the ranting and arguing. It should be acceptable to add it since everyone knows it's initials for bull [poo]. and since [poo] is not allowed in the chat lines BS could be reasonably added as a offending word. I think that by having the in game admin automatically calling the player to attention that they need to cool it will stave of some if not most of the disrespect in the games.
This is only a suggestion, I didn't want to pose a complaint without a possible solution. I hope that someway can be thought of to stop this behavior, which basically amount to bullying.

I know that this might be besides the point at the moment, but Icerigger is no longer a member of merc, and has not been for a few weeks due to such actions and language as has already been mentioned. If he is still wearing our tags on other clans' servers, it is out of our control. We accept no responsibility nor take any blame for his actions.
