You provide no recourse for players who are held hostage by the antics of others... we just have to sit there and listen to the same people run their mouths, or sit there and wait as they hold the lobby hostage. AS-Mason with server reboot original weapons is forced on us by others who refuse to vote. Sometimes this is an intentional tactic used by others. In any case, some of this is to be expected, but to expect me or other regulars to tolerate it constantly is somewhat unreasonable.
Furthermore, it seems clear that some people use your server as a venue to annoy other people, push rules... push buttons in general. I reset the server as a tactic to try and get a player to stop with the antagonizing behavior that should have been obvious from the chat logs.
I play, co-operate, teach new players, and genuinely try not to ruin games or aggravate others needlessly. I expect that for that kind of approach I would be granted some powers to do away with players who demonstrate the opposite kinds of behaviors. At the very least I would have expected you to at least hear my side first.
Obviously my expectations were in error
I'm not interested in problems so I won't trouble you or your server again. Thanks again for making the server, it has been great and a lot of fun. Good luck in the future.
Kind Regards,

I respect you as a long time player around here at (((GateWays))) That's why I was really upset and
SURPRISED to find that you abused the power to reboot the server I've given you. What you did was wrong plain and simple. I remember the day you asked me how you could help with the server and I told you that I needed someone to restart the server when it crashes and fails to reboot on it's own I never 'hinted' nor authorized any "moderator" role here. I'm glad you want to help (((GateWays))) However,
you know I told you the day I gave you the credentials to the gameservers server restart panel I told you obviously it was not to be abused it was for the simple task of rebooting the server when it....eventually.............
always.. crashes.
Sweetchuck, I know this server may seem like a Zoo at times with all the wild players here doing dumb and annoying things and having lead feet to vote for a map after the server crashes however I am the Zoo Keeper. lol okay got a bit silly there with that analogy but YES I understand the server is being over run with a lot of unfavorable players....
My POINT being you need to report disruptive players that break the rules! Everyone needs too! Otherwise, I have to find them myself and I see them in the logs and NOBODY is reporting them that frustrates me! I cannot just give a bunch of players moderator privileges and see who's left on the server when I come and play. Also since their is a lot more traffic on the server now it takes longer and longer to review the logs to see who's been naughty and who's been nice. You have to understand Sweetchuck that I'm operating this server SOLO and have been for quite some time! I been the programmer of the many mods on the server I've been the administrator of the server the web master of this website the moderator on the server and also not to mention if I can still need to add monsters to maps that do not have them! This has to be done manually and for a quality map I'd say at least 30min's is needed to add monsters not to mention I'm also the mapper. Those {GE} (gauntlet edition) maps were modified by someone being me. AND MABY......if things run smoothly and it's a weekend off work or a little time in the week I can sometimes be a player on the server.
I got a full plate Sweetchuck, You got to help me help you when it comes to dealing with the problems on this server. If you remain quite and abuse something I told you and THOUGHT was common sense not to abuse I'm going to be quite irritated. I think the Ban till June 1st was pretty harsh given the kind of guy you are, But do remember I was
pissed when I found out about this. So I will likely be taking this ban down I think it's unnecessary and now that I made you come out of hiding and onto the forums we can discuss the server's problems and handle them THE RIGHT WAY.
Okay, Now I know when I've been beat. I cannot moderate this server 24/7 and keep everyone out and I been discussing this for quite some time with others that I need to appoint moderators and admins for the server. Now I know you won't be too pleased with that nOs*Grandpa if your reading this but I cannot do it alone! I cannot force everyone to join nOs* to moderate or administer the server and even if I did force them to join nOs* it would be for the wrong reasons. Remember B|iss? They need to join because they want to be a part of nOs* not to get extended powers and privileges.
Back to business with you Sweetchuck. The ban is going off it was unnecessary your grown up and don't need a timeout I just wanted to slap you on the wrist and let you know that what you did was wrong and that I was displeased. I don't think your a shady or distrustful player. However I do want to be confident that when I say something is not to be misused or abused that it won't be.
to be honest I was thinking of submitting your name as a moderator candidate [whispering] However it concerns me because it seems like your quite the hothead on the server. And That Role BELONGS TO NECROSIS_MHS The original short fuse. What I'm saying is you need to stop harassing players about autotaunt. I've read a lot of logs and your the only player that complains about them. I looked for other but could not find any other complaints. I hear that you can turn off the taunts on your computer meaning you will not hear them and still hear all the other sounds in the game. I don't know for sure if that's true but it would be worth investigating. I know your probably displeased to hear this from me when you have heard it from many other players but I'm trying to help you out. I don't want to drop everything I'm doing and force everyone to stop auto taunts because one players is displeased with it
