You make too much drama out of nothing Mourits. If you read carefully I only came to this thread asking a question about whats the difference between a head admin and vice head admin, now I got an answer and I should move on. Why do you have to unload all your admin injustice views on me like im even trying to argue or dispute that in this thread? Its funny how your head works, Its as if you get into an imaginary argument in your head, assume someone said something that wasn't even said, and then go on an all positivity justice commentary blaming or accusing the other party of saying so. I only wonder if you do this intentionally or are just deluded. Anyway deal with your own problems what do I care.

i agree, and so did nameless, and that was my only comment to you, which you still dont get, reason why you keep hammering that point.

Vice-head admin assists and consults the head admin in decision making process, management of server and forum and can be delegated to in case head admin is not around. Vice head admin responds to head admin and both represent the community.

Oh so a head admin is a notch above and not exactly a fifty-fifty. Thank you for the answer.

#3 Re: Report Abuse » RaketenHorst - abuse of admin power » 2024-01-23 00:06:29

Im not comparing them Mourits, but since you seem to cherish that idea that head admins should only receive love and affection for their work I mention nameless as an example. He probably was more in the wrong, but the way in which head admins should be addressed was set long ago, sadly.

#4 Re: Report Abuse » RaketenHorst - abuse of admin power » 2024-01-21 06:32:52

Its been done before Mourits. I remember nameless used to get shit for mishandling his power. I think even Paul was pushing for him to get removed so the precedent is there.

But that aside I'd genuinely like to know the answer to my question above.

#5 Re: Report Abuse » RaketenHorst - abuse of admin power » 2024-01-18 01:54:12

But do either of them has more say in taking decisions or is it a fifty-fifty split? Technically going by titles, it would seem to me a head admin is above a vice head admin no? Im trying to figure this out.

#6 Re: Report Abuse » RaketenHorst - abuse of admin power » 2024-01-17 02:26:22

I got a question, is simple run by 2 head admins with equal power each? I read a post in the news and announcements section that one is a head admin and the other a vice head admin. This makes me think one of them might be superior or lower in rank.

About time someone proposed an idea because infantry is heavily broken in this game. And I believe it's not just the ping that matters, game is subject to bug abuses and there's few guys that have a PhD on reg research and therefore have a huge advantage compared to others. Basically regs over merit.

If this is implemented hopefully it'll make things more even for the infs (as it should be).

I know merlin is crazy and all but I've seen it a few times in the past when one of the argentinians provoke him and then the other one does the reporting. If you want him punished then at least come all the way clean, you can't be playing both sides you two faced snakes. Also merlin's annoyance is mostly chat which is harmless. Extremely rare for him to tk or disrupt in any serious way.

I'm just asking because I really don't think such statements as yours have any credibility in them. 90% of those who gets kicked and short time banned at Simple are because they violate the rules through basecamping, trolling and teamkilling. Then some get caught hacking. Only very few gets a permaban like 000, Blitzkrieg, Asbestos... Just take a look at Merlin - Simples line before permabanning is insanely long. That's why I'm asking for names of those who did get an unfair treatment.

What do you expect me to do take note of every one of them that gets kicked/banned for chat and then compile a list? I'm not looking at who got kicked and how long his ban was because I'm playing the game but I can see it happening. That's like me asking you to recall in memory people that got kicked/banned this week for tks or base attacks and then dismiss you if you don't remember their names even though you know it happened. If you are so obsessed with names then take a look at the appeals sections and see how many are there being kicked or banned for chat. Let me ask you something DoubTi, do you even bother to carefully read what I said or you are just automatically putting me in some category and then just writing preconceived notions? You keep bringing up themes like basecamps, teamkilling or hackers when I already said those people are rightly to be banned. I only got a problem with people getting kicked or temp banned for minor chat offenses because its not reliable at this stage of the game and for populations sake. Then you also assume I believe this to be the "sole reason" people are leaving the server when I mentioned its simply the passage of time, almost everyone agrees on that. If you want to take this up further then lets do it on discord or pm me here, i dont wanna spam this thread. Plus I already said my piece long ago.

I know what you are saying. Yes, nameless at times in the heat of the moment might have been annoyed at some players and decided to temporary troll them with kicks, or base attack them but don't think he ever went so far as to take it seriously and permanently ban them for something based on that. Me liking nameless? I told you already I never liked him because of his gameplay. Funny you remind me of him since you copy every little detail of how he played and even do his merlin antics in the game. Could be the reason why sometimes I call you out for bailing or running to flaks but if it annoys you I will stop.

I can't come up with specific names because I've only taken note of this as I play the game. If you would want some names then maybe the appeals sections could be a start. Keep in mind that's only people with a forum account, who knows how many didn't bother to create one and just left the game.

Are you trying to put words in my mouth or you just can't read? At no point I've said moongamers is a better server or has better admins or whatever. In fact I said its a PG server and they always had a strict policy regarding chat. I've only compared both servers population in an at attempt to fix whatever is causing this and then revert that change. And by the way I'm not a troll. I've never gotten banned once and have only been kicked one time like 1 or 2 years go. I can also play the game competitive if I want but I've lost incentive the past few years.

Do you really think it is different at Moongamers? I think they are even harder with chat abuse and insults. And why is it mostly the same guys receiving bans there too?  It's mostly the same small group of known guys. The only difference there is they plead guilty because they know there is zero tolerance.

You are right but there's a difference, moongamers has been PG since their inception whereas simple hasn't. On this basis I say certain things need to go back the way they used to because they worked just fine. It was only after nameless left that I believe certain things got out of a line like banning people for slightest of things. I never like nameless personally because he would run away like a girl from a dogfight but as a head admin you have to give it to him because he handled things professionally and not out of emotion or stupidity.
You could tell this guy to go f*ck his mother and he still wouldn't ban you. he would rather look at your case objectively and see if there's actually some material damage you are causing to the server and then punish you accordingly if at all. I see some admin nowadays behaving like a woke civil right activist in the server kicking and banning people for the slightest racist or sexist thing said. Worse is that said admin doesn't even follow his own rules; he provokes, taunts and laughs at players and when they strike back at him he hides behind his admin. Pretty sure that wouldn't fly when nameless was around. Also how long have you been playing this game Ferd? your forum account says registered in 2021. Do you know how it was back then? do you also know that tuia (the owner) is a heavy duty antisemite that he even had hitler and stalin quotes built into the server few years ago? i hardly doubt he would stand for kicking people in the server for saying the n word of making fun of the jews, or worse deleting or editing comments in the forum.

@Alfred dude don't act like you care about the server when your whole Argentinian crew (SELF, darcano, cachi, etc) that plays every single night telling others peoples locations through voice chat does way more damage to the server than 50 trolls put together if you ask me.

All of of that aside, whatever happened to 000? was he banned? i never liked him but i think he was a good add to the server, made it more challenging. Well i also don't know the reason for his ban so i can't say much.

Damn, we assholes should've made you head admin for your precious contribution and let you run simple servers properly, just like bunch of trolls and cheaters ruined Ax server when it run out of active admins. Our biggest mistake was not letting people cheat and not letting trolls disrupt the game for others, If that makes us assholes in your eyes be my guest LOL

I called it before, if you guys keep banning people for frivolous stuff then they are gonna move to another server and thats whats happening now. It's not so much that people are leaving this old game, thats naturally the main factor but whats taking place at the moment is server mismanagement. Reason? just look at the swing in population between simple and moongamers the past 6 months, that thing never occured in the past 5 years or so for what i can recall. The closest thing to it was aX closing down and then its playerbase moving to different servers but thats a different story, simple and moongamers have always been running. Also don't assume im here to try to disrupt anything, its just slight frustration at the direction the server has taken since the previous head admin left. And yes (i said it before), cheaters, tkers, are rightly to be banned and always been so dont try to make it sound i don't agree with this. the only thing where i voice opposition is in players getting banned for slight chat banter because you have to look at the realities here: there is at most 100 active players at the moment and a ban at this point in the game is unaffordable unless with due cause (cheaters, tkers) and not because someone made a george floyd joke. besides, i never witnessed this in the previous administration, so thats where im coming from plus i also really believe thats what made the game more engaging. Oh and about aX, that server was without admin since 2016-2017, you are very wrong if you think it died because of lack of admins or trolls, actually ironically ax was founded on no admins and trolls lol. i was there when it died, and one of the main reasons it happened is because the auto admin that managed base attackers, team killers, taxi to plane, etc and their respective auto kicks and bans got disabled because the server was under constant attack and restarts. after that it became a jungle with no order and people stopped joining. i also heard people got caught in mass ban waves and couldn't connect to the server but i dont know if thats true.

no idea im not counting but im sure you've playing long enough to notice the difference of people getting kicked nowadays for chat compared to when nameless was around. the other day i got insta warned just by asking whos gonna win in 2024 like really? anyway if you are interested in keeping the population up kicking/banning people for lang is not the way to go, they will just migrate to another server (look at moongamers lately). i think with the current state of the game we should stick to mostly game related mechanics like cheats, tks, etc, and sacrifice a bit on personal biases so the playerbase remains healthy in the future. unless you are fine playing with 20-15 people rather than put up with some of these morons in chat which knowing where you come from you would prefer that.

I dont know the reason for blitzkriegs ban but im assuming its gotta be either cheating or chronic tk, sfv, etc for it to be permanent. i know that sometimes he gets a little excited in chat and he's been kicked for that but never seen him do serious game play offenses like team killing and so on. anyway reason i say this is because lately i've seen people flocking the forums with ban appeals that are mostly chat related.
for what i remember in nameless era one could troll to some degree and not be kicked or punished. you could even see nameless exchange insults with merlin live on server and at the end of the day everyone just went home. now people posting ban appeals for saying the n word or some other slur like we are back in the third grade.

I'm of the opinion that is actually the server. Reason? it happens to different people from different countries at exactly the same time.
I understand if a person randomly lags every now and then it could be his own equipment or ISP, but when you see 5 people all from different countries lagging exactly at the same time what are gonna be the odds? it's gotta be the server. I've seen this literally at least 100 times the past 1-2 years. Basically everyone yells "lagggggg" and if you press tab look at how many players' ping get spiked. Its also usually followed by some poor bastard getting auto-kicked for high ping.

killer is a nice guy. you will never see killer log on the server and start insulting people out of no where like a crazy maniac. whats happening there is that killer has a beef with 000 going on for years and hence the insults. and yea he may get a little excited sometimes ingame or the forum but nothing really serious. 000 on the other hand has a problem with everybody. he annoys, disrupts, and trolls anyone who makes a challenge for a gold medal. he makes the game miserable for everybody with his constant teamswitch, waste of vehicles , no capping flags, not healing, you name it. but i think the real issue here is the lack of action from the head admins. people have been reporting him for months with all sorts of evidence and nothing has happened. if they had acted and took care of that retard from day 1 so many things could've been avoided including this topic.

Replies: 25

this thing has been going on for the last 8-10 months and nothing is being done. im willing to bet on my left nut that this a problem on the server's end and not the players. like i said in a previous post, when this happens everyone that is affected get their ping spiked or get connection problems, all at the same time. so clearly something is going on with the server and not us. take into account the same affected players are in different parts of the world, so it's not their ISP, etc. now what i noticed is that this affects less than 10% of people, so most won't be bothered by it and that's what makes it hard to tackle. but yet with the game already dying not taking proper care of the only remaining main server is just gross negligence. dont be crying when we are down to 10 players. also to those that are having issues with game crashes or have problems connecting, please don't comment unless your problem is of the same specific nature. like i says before this is a very sneaky issue that only affects a handful of players at a given time, so comments that deal with what windows or router im using or if whether the war in ukraine has something to do with it will only make it harder for the tech team to get to the bottom of it. thanks for reading.

000 is not gonna change. the reason for this is because of how he is. he's always pissed and raging inside. all those forms of disrupting people mentioned are just a result of that. you may put certain rules and regulations around him but unless someone fixes his head, which is beyond anyones reach here, his disrupting is gonna manifest one way or another. thats why no matter how many times he gets banned, he's hasnt nor is gonna change. the only two options is to either keep banning him in an effort to control him or just get rid of him for good.

also when killer88 was admin he was always there to kick him when he caused mischief plus a ton of other general players. nowadays admins just let him run wild and nothing happens despite the latest evidence.

#30 Re: Videos and Screenshots » Random BF screenshots you want to share » 2022-06-08 20:04:26

why are people even trying to argue with 000? this guy is a nut. can someone really for a second believe that the 50+ plus people he just mentioned are actually malicious and going after him and he's the victim? he's paranoid af and in his schizo mind the whole world is against him. he and merlin already have the simple record in complaining/appeals and admins seem to be treating him like he's just another regular player when he is not. also a warning to admins (specially head admins) not to fall for his bs in case he's going behind the scenes via pms, etc, trying to curry favors to save him for when he gets in trouble. tried to do it to hilly but he still put out a 30 day ban vote because he's a cancer to the server.
