Well then maybe you and Hammer are closely connected and he cried his bottom off tongue

#2 Re: Report Abuse » (GER)Hammer » 2022-08-02 15:32:15

I can confirm Hammer is neurotic to the bone. He once banned me on Oz Wake where he obviously is admin on. I remember him getting super angry as I was leaving him no chance to do anything on the map. It is fairly easy to keep the upper hand on small maps like Wake as a pilot when there are just a handful players online. He accused me for cheating and banned me thereafter.

I understand it feels unfair to get owned by air (he was essentially grounding) but there are other ways to express a feeling of unfairness than simply perm ban.
I would put Nameless or Abas on the exact same level who both are not ideal to get the job done due to bad personality factors and a false understanding of neutrality in making decisions. However, maybe that is exactly part of the diversity and tolerance in mentalities program by tuia. The server would not be as much fun without those controversies, right? big_smile

I assume tuia picked them a long time ago because of their reasonable scores, which are mostly achieved by exploiting game mechanisms and abusing admin rights. Don’t outscore them or you will become their target.

It's been almost two weeks without any reaction. This is remarkable, especially because Arkos and nameless are online usually every day.
Can someone finally revoke my ban status please? smile

Yeah I have noticed the same. Some posts have been deleted.

Thank you for your support iCQ. I just wanted to point out some things public so players can form their own view on the topic. I fear there are many more players that get falsely banned for 'cheating' or other absurd reasons and are never seen on the server again.

I still feel sorry for Arkos. I thought he would understand that I just wanted to dog fight him as he is even running his own dog fight server but well, he interpreted my approach as rape. But it seems like he is over it. The subsequent ban was performed by another admin.

I have been called a cheater every now and then by some beginners but I have never been accused for cheating by an admin yet yikes
It would be so absurd if someone that recently got his ban revoked starts cheating the first time he continues playing on the server. I am sorry to disappoint you nameless but I don't cheat and I never will. What made you think of that? Can you please provide an argument instead of a proof-less accusation? I wonder what will happen next. Most likely nothing.

Oh well, let's recap. I have been banned for more than 6 weeks for some 'raping' and 'evading' stuff and when you eventually revoked it and I played for the first time you accuse and ban me for 'cheating'. Now you guys went ultimately crazy and paranoid. What happened to Simple? What compelled you to ever make an assumption that I am cheating? Apparently some of you are desperately looking for a false reason to ban me.

There are some interesting opinions about this topic that may reflect the actual atmosphere.

Bad Actor wrote:

Hiding behind aliases whilst wielding admin rights is lame in my opinion.

Ordinary bread and butter admins should not be allowed to use admin rights while using nicks.

Bad Actor wrote:

Admins going incognito also allows for baiting other players to then set them up for kicking or banning.

Dakota wrote:

Look's like some are keeping admins tools so they wont be disturbed only when they are playing, shame !!

Some admins use their power if there are violations against themselves in first place. Just in second place they take care of disruptive players and overall temper on the server. It should be vice versa.

Bud wrote:

As and admin i think ban threads should be kept to the banned party, and admin/s involved.

The problem with public trials in forums is that for the accused there is little chance to get an objective treatment.
Admins are sympathizing with admins and delightfully overlook actual facts.

All in all the majority of us want a fair environment where they can have fun.
Admins should take care of abusive and disruptive players objectively whilst not getting personal.
We all learned to deal with rapers and tkers when there is no active admin online. It is ok, but when admins are on the server it is more fun for most of the players.

Bttt: Am I now officially unbanned and allowed to play on the server again? smile

#9 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Banned? » 2019-08-05 20:36:54

Hola compadres,

got to bump this topic again. After more than 6 weeks I thought it would be worth
to connect to the simple server to see if the ban has been revoked.
I asked Arkos if he'd be ok with me playing here again and he told me that he would
remove the ban eventually.
But later on I have been banned again.
Can you please have a look at it? And if you're ok with it unban me?

Cheers

#10 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Banned? » 2019-07-01 18:39:15

iCQ you're not funny at all lol
Okay and can you see to what date the ban is set?
I mean it's been quite a while

#11 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Banned? » 2019-06-27 14:37:40

I like him too. And as I mentioned in this thread I am sorry for what I've done to him.
Sad that that single time playing against the rules has made him so mad.

#12 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Banned? » 2019-06-26 20:41:12

Ah, I see you are an actress, Miss Marple, as well as an avenger.
And when will the ban end?

#13 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Banned? » 2019-06-21 16:22:20

I waited more than an hour when someone told me I was banned for 15 minutes.
I had no clue what was going on prior to that as you didn't talk to me and gave me no reason.
Don't you think your reaction is a bit too harsh?
And for how long will your ban last eventually?

#14 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Banned? » 2019-06-21 02:20:12

I was allied if I remember correctly so "lurking in allied base" wasn't against the rules at least.
Besides that I wasn't lurking for planes to take off except that one time I followed you for a challenge.
Although I really tried to keep it fair and even granted you advantage by putting me in front of you I am sorry that you felt harassed.
You may have felt haunted during the round but that is rather normal because Kharkov is a small map and pilots hit each other more often.
Apparently I didn't notice your warnings but I didn't fly over your base to track you down. Kharkov is tiny and
you have to fly over enemy base occasionally due to its size. I mean I didn't fly in circles just to take anyone
out that is taking off.
And I think you overreact a bit with the permban. I am around for quite a long time and many players know me for following the rules and playing fair.
The evading case you mention was rather a trouble shooting thing as I got disconnected from server and further connections failed.
As for that time I wasn't aware it was due to your ban and I just wanted to come back to check things and ask for the reason.
I would really like to know Tuia's opinion on this.
This server would really benefit if some hotheaded admins calmed down a little and cleaned up the server from tkers and rapers.
Rather than pursuing honest players for personal reasons.
Well and if you should change your mind for whatever reason I'd appreciate it if you unban me, please.

Thanks

p.s. Why do some posts get deleted here?

Hey guys,

a few days ago after having some decent dogfights I followed someone from out of his base on Kharkov.
He noticed I was behind him but didn't engage fighting and ascended further. Then I put myself in front
of his plane to animate him once more but no reaction. After a minute or so as we were both hitting strato I fired a few shots at him and his plane immediately blew up.
In turn I instantly got banned. Some may consider this as rape.
I have to say it is not the best way to behave but there were just a few players on and raping wasn't the intention.
I just wanted to make sure we would find each other before the round ended. And as we both were at the same speed and height it would have been a fair fight.
I can understand that the player felt sort of humiliated and I apologize in that case.
Though I didn't receive a prior warning or a reason for that ban.
Some players told me that it said "15 min ban" and after waiting like an hour I could join again.
Strange thing is I keep getting banned again and again whenever I get some kills in a plane.
Can anyone please have a glimpse at the server log and tell who it is? Looks like a tiff.

Thanks

Haha, I didn't know there is a blackscreen.exe inside the game directory, good idea though.
But unfortunately no change. I patched my cd version to 1.61 and replaced the original bf1942.exe
with the gamespy exe from this forum. It wouldnt start at all with the original (no-cd) exe.
Bet there is a Problem with the widescreen exe.

#22 Re: Technical Help » PING and stuff.. » 2016-10-02 21:27:18

Ping measures the time it takes (in milliseconds) for data to be transferred from your computer to a server and back again.
A low ping is crucial to shooters to keep the gaming client in proper synchronisation with the server.
There are several things that can affect the latency (ping):
o interfering apps (downloading tools, voice/video call services)
o bad wireless signal due to a long distance to the router
o other persons that are video streaming or downloading stuff while you are playing
... and many more

Hey there, it has been a long time since my last post and I am glad you did not delete my account. :)
In spring I switched over to Win 10 involuntarily as it came with my new laptop.
In the course of that a problem instantly showed up: I have no issues starting the game like many others but
during map switch when the game changes to loading screen the display turns black while still playing the music.
I did not find an other way to exit this state as to log off Windows or restart. This also happens when going back
to the menu with the esc key. The problem seems to occur with every mod (e.g. tested with FH and desert combat)
and is not affected by video settings. It happens nearly 50% of the time and is so annoying I discontinued playing.
I did not find any thread on the net about this issue but someone describing the same symptoms but here it could be fixed
with lowering resolution that does not help me unfortunately.

Have you ever heard about this or even faced the same? Any idea appreciated.

Happy bloody sunday!

#24 Re: Technical Help » Forgotten Hope Widescreen Fix » 2014-04-23 21:34:15

thanks a lot, it finally works! just some crashes every now and then at the loading screen though..
what things did you change inside the objects.rfa package?

#25 Re: Technical Help » Forgotten Hope Widescreen Fix » 2014-04-19 20:55:57

Neither the patch nor manually editing the .con files seem to work for the Forgotten Hope mod.
I didnt get ahead but could make out that Win98/WinMe compatibility mode is the reason for that problem - contrary to WinXP mode used for BF1942.
Enabling WinXP mode causes Forgotten Hope to crash during loading procedure.

#26 Re: Technical Help » Forgotten Hope Widescreen Fix » 2014-02-16 20:36:40

thx for reply, tuia! I've already considered applying these files but didnt get happy with it.
It's working well on my WinXP machine by just modifying the .con file. Is this just an issue on Win7?
Isn't there any other method to get it work?

Hi to all BF1942-enthusiasts,
I recently got the FH mod working on Win7 32-bit.
But somehow I couldnt manage to get widescreen resolution.
Searching the net for that issue resulted in finding a patch replacing the original BF1942.exe file.
Customizing the video.con in ...\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings\Profiles\Custom seems
to work for BF1942 without mods only.
Is there a way to modify some files manually in order to get a widescreen resolution?

#29 Re: Server Ban Appeals » ban by GUN|BF.MuSeN » 2013-08-01 21:30:11

musen, talking to you is so tedious... you got me wrong again.
by 'grounding' I mean to take a pilot down, not to shoot him when he is on the ground..
and wtf are you talking about?
you want a safe zone around the base and anyone entering it shall guess when you are ready to fight?
thats not even hilarious, thats stupid as it wont ever work.
shooting planes during take-off is rightly proscribed and forbidden - but in your point of view attacking runaways over main is also prohibited.
there is no such rule.
And thats the point: I was not breaking the rules but you made your own.

#30 Re: Server Ban Appeals » ban by GUN|BF.MuSeN » 2013-07-29 22:22:31

maybe you had a bad day but especially as an admin you have to know
how to control yourself and prevent you from getting emotional.

I didnt post this for you.
But maybe some smart players who read this can see the real facts
and will claim too if you ban em as well just for fun.

at least after this you will have to change your manner
not to look queer to the other admins.
and that is what this thread was intended for.
