What if granger builds it in a weird angle and a human can see right through it?
I think that that would require changes to the renderer, whereas just changing one side is a change to a file in a .pk3.

Using command "mute" is almost not needed at all. Only for mute evaders or intentional global spammers, like repeated spam "fuck you all" for example.
“/mute $PLAYER; unmute $PLAYERâ€￾ is sometimes worth using: another tool to use along with /warn.

Few people where already jailed for insulting and trolling. Do your duty citizen. Ministry of truth needs your help.

Insulting etc. via -i=privately[/i]-owned services, but charged and convicted using laws written for publicly-owned communications services, by any chance?

I would shove it in under this rule:
You can't repeatedly abuse on purpose (swearing, vote or bind spam, blocking, teambleeding…) – ban.


I think this rule need to be more specified. Or better, removed.

I think of it as “don't be disruptiveâ€￾; that appears to be the intent.

Iain, I think that you may have overdone it with the warnings – trying to avoid needing to use the mute hammer? Result is that this one got dragged out…

Epical, sometimes you're a bit noisy; and some of us find some of your in-game comments… rather 12-year-old.

I think that gauntlet_b6 needs a reactor in its default layout – nodes disappear 90s into the game otherwise, and there's no way to build.

True; teamswitch was missed. I did notice words to the effect of “I've had enough of thisâ€￾, though.

Game finished at around 1:40am GMT today. Public votes were called to kick him; had they been team votes, I may well have handled that differently (for a start, I would have noticed that heyya had teamswitched).

Here follows the other sort of admin gripe…

USE TEAM VOTES WHERE APPROPRIATE!

Team votes are appropriate for decon and teamkill, attempted or successful.


Admin sees all team votes and, when spectating, sees all messages regarding construction, destruction and damage (so, on the human team, I'd not see damage to the overmind). Admin also sees which team called it; sometimes, this is a useful hint, and may result in a vote not being cancelled.

And yes, given signs of damage to the overmind by heyya, I'd definitely agree that a ban is warranted.

When I will find tutorial, I need to instal some unpack program (why is not installed?) and type "tar -xfhzdunno archive". At this point I am allready pissed off due that stupid program - why cant type just "tar -extract archive" or "tar -x archive"? I dont need google for this, but for that -xfzj shit yes. Why cant just doubleclik on archive and everything is unpacked? Too much work and then I solve everything by windows in 1/10 of time.

Code: Select all

$ man tar
$ tar --help | less
That said, “tar xf $TARBALLâ€￾ is enough. It'll detect the compression method automatically. Then again, create a directory, enter that directory then unpack – that way, you'll not accidentally overwrite anything.

If you want to check what's in the tarball, “tar tf $TARBALL | lessâ€￾.

… And if you expect double-click to extract, then either something is missing from your installation or you really do want Windows. Then again, not automatically extracting requires that you think about it a bit – fails safe, if you will.

Hmm. More than I thought. I saw them messing around with just one other player present. I told them that they should set up their own server for that. They persisted; Superior TKed SaxTron (who'd joined after that) three times in a row → instant kick, with the ban period revised to 7 days on r...
