Thanks Pit for clarify how it works on the USA server.
Still very curious how it actually works on the FRA server thou. There seems to be so many admins on the
FRA server and there is a big difference how the mood of the game is depending on who is the admin at the time.
With ppl like Nameless as online/playing admin there is a good atmosphere and everybody enjoy their game. Same thing when ever Sunshine admins the FRA server.
But than there are these other admins on the FRA server which really seems to act in anger and execute their admin rights in a way that you get the feeling of personal vengeance instead of a an impartial evaluation. The type of admin that seems to use the server as their personal playing ground together with their old time buddies or sometimes own clan members.
That sort of admin isn´t a good representative for the Simple BF 1942 server in general and all the other mature admins of the FRA server in particular.

Maybe I won´t get any more answers on this post concerning the FRA server way of dealing with abusive admins or on what grounds admin rights are given but I do hope you from time to time assesses the suitability of your admins. A bit like renewing a license.

Kind regards,
Panic

Thank you so much for your answer Pleiadas. My experience of the USA server has always been positive and I never come over an admin that use the adm.rights in anger or abusive to other players. I think ,as Pleiades points out ,the reason for that is a strong juste USA admin collective that understand that with power comes responsibility. And most importantly: impartial. I also understand that Pit is on top of things which is key.
And FRA server, how do you adress the issues on abusive admins, besides butt slappin and having a drink.. smile
BB, I have no report on any particular admin as now, that is why I posted this question here instead. Hope that is ok.
Kind regards,
Panic

Cheers Arkos but...eh ok..? And what I expected? Maybe a clarification on my questions. Since the admins on all Simple servers are so important and kind of "act as the face", the representative of Simple 1942 servers it is valid questions.
Could you be more specific Arkos? DO you actually take a report on abusive admins serious and have a team meeting on that?
Kindly,
Panic

Hello everybody.
I really don´t know were to post this topic but I hope this is the right place to put this subject.
As we all seen before there has been lots of discussions about admin abuse and opinions whom should or shouldn´t be
admin on the Simple BF servers.

My question is also quite simple: If there is a complaint on a admin that for example abuse
the admin rights given and misuses the power to kick or even ban, how do you deal with that? 
Is it as some forum users suggest a fear to actually say "hey this admin is not suitable and we should cancel his admin rights" ?
What is the drill when a serious honest complaint come to your attention?
And on what grounds do you give out admin rights?

Many thanks for keeping BF42 alive and kicking.
Kindly,
PanicPete

To actually learn from the experience.......nah just kidding!

#131 Re: Server Ban Appeals » 3day ban » 2016-06-27 12:28:57

This must be the worstest sever ban appeal ever, but hey guys, admit ppl like Merlin, Clive Stroker and others makes the game a bit more intresting and spicy.

#132 Re: Report Abuse » USA Server » 2016-06-08 09:32:44

I bring some beer and marshmallows if you prepare a log fire? My treat. And yes I hear you Twigs, no offence taken.
I only stated that sometimes we have to look at the bigger picture. People putting in their time and effort running the servers and I also noticed when there is no admin on the servers there are a lot of team wounding, trash talking and strange things going on. Why is that?
Me personally I´ve never been trolled or harassed by any admin. I´ve been kicked a few times due to panic mode actions like crashing into trees or unintentional blowing myself up with grenades, but hey, never kicked because of admins having a grudge against me.
Andy Warhol once stated "in the future everybody will have their 15 minutes of fame" I say "everybody will have their 15 minutes of ban"
Lets move on, think about the climate change and please let me have that golden star...mmmmmmmmm gooooolden star..

#133 Re: Report Abuse » USA Server » 2016-06-07 12:05:01

To be totally honest I have never had any problems with the USA server, apart from staying alive, and I do think "butt buddy" and other irrelevant comments speaks for themselves. What was the constructive contribution on that one O´Sullivan?  Bare in mind there are people keeping these servers alive putting in their time and effort for free. Both the FRA and the USA server. I think they all do a great job as admins and if I would have this much problems in playing these servers I would consider starting my very own. Then I can make my own rules and finally get a golden star in the end. Imagine that! mmmmmmmm a goooolden star...

Hey Pit. I´ll soon be on the USA server in full blown panic! Ping-panic..

Ok Arkos...just breathe..breathe..no need for panic.

Thanks a lot for that Tuia. And thanks for making this server possible! Great job!

#139 Re: Feedback » Messages » 2016-06-02 23:00:28

Good point JarJarBinks. Very good point. I remember back in the days when BF1942 was launched an nick like Hitler (which I´ve seen several times on the servers now avaible to play) never ever would be tolerated. How come there are "banned" words in chat but nazi reffering nicknames and ignorant ranting about nazis and jews are totally ok? It´s not ok to have a laugh or start to normalize the historic facts that millons of people were killed by a madmans regime. And what is the point of comparing different historic events like Genghis Kahn and try to make that a reflection that there is two sides of a coin? It´s the same logic as saying Hitler killed 6 million people but the ancient romans killed 12 million people! And? What difference does that make? Nothing. Both sides of the coin stinks.

If not tumbling down the hill in a tank, crashing into trees with a brand new spitfire or hit the "enemy submarine spotted" instead of reload button when I empty my mag. all over the place...I´ve been downtown. Thanks for asking Clive. And where is this party? Why wasn´t I invited?

#141 Re: Feedback » Full BF1942 pack? » 2016-06-01 22:43:51

Ah ok, well..sorry didn´t know that was the case.. Thanks for clarify that for me Sunshine.

Hello all.
Would it be possible to have a sort of "full BF1942 pack" to download here on Simple server?
Like the other downloads, Road to Rome etc?
Or maybe there already is? Just a thought.
Kindly,
PMP

#143 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Unban clive » 2016-06-01 20:09:52

Ok, I´m getting into a panic mode!

#144 Re: Server Ban Appeals » Hello Admins » 2016-04-29 22:46:02

Ah I see. Thanks Red. You know if you check the log you will see that I did not had any TKs. I´m very careful not TKing any of my teammates.
Please could you have a chat with this Admin guy because he really do ban ppl in anger from now and than. Not very good for SIMPLE reputationin the long term to have these kind of tempered admins. All the best and a wee dram!

Just want to say thank you Simple for running these BF42 severs. It is really appriciated by many even if I do see a lot of very angry posts over the forum. Sometimes it could also be in order to say something appriciative also. I was living in severe abstinens after they shut down the official BF back in the days, but hey, BF42 is online again! Thanks to all these people that put time and effort into have servers up and running. Thanks for that Simple! Keep on rocking! Makes my days!

Hello Simple people of the world.
I was about to play on FRA Simple server (personal favorite) as I quite often do but I see I am banned..
Could you shine some light on this ban? Haven´t done anything bad as far as I know but maybe there is
some sort of mix up or something.
Hope to get this ban unbanned so I can see you in full panic again soon on the battlefield. smile
Bests,
PanicModePete
