GAME SERVER ADMINISTRATOR

Responsible for providing enjoyable and problem free gaming for our members and our guests. Warns, kicks, and bans players as appropriate using these guidelines:

GENERAL GUIDANCE
  • As a Game Admin, it is your responsibility to know and follow the guidance outlined here.
  • It is your responsibility to know how to properly use the kicker. If you dont know something, ask.
  • When acting as admin you represent TAW's interests, not your own. Never make it personal.
  • Do not discuss your actions using in-game chat. If you must send a non-standard message concerning your actions use the chat built into the kicker.
  • Never contradict or disagree with a fellow admin in the game or in a public forum.
  • The "Admin's Ban Log" forum is for members only and is the appropriate place for disagreements and discussions (not flame-wars) amongst clanmates.
WARNING/KICKING/BANNING
  • Warn when possible; use prepared warning statements programmed into kicker.
  • Kick when warnings have no effect. Use prepared kick statements to identify infraction.
  • Ban when kicking doesn't work, or for extreme situations like hacking; use prepared ban statements.
  • Post brief explanation in the "Admin's Ban Log" forum for bans longer than 1 day.
  • Post hacking/cheating/exploit screenshots in the "Hall of Shame" forum, even if the ban is not challenged.
  • For specific warn/kick/ban guidance, see this Admin Protocol for Punishing Violations table.
CHALLENGED BANS
  • Check the public "You've Been Banned" forum often.
  • When a pubbie challenges a ban in the "You've Been Banned" forum, ONLY the banning admin should respond.
  • Make a subsequent post in that thread ONLY if you are the banning admin, or have been asked to respond by the banning admin.
  • Any other discussion of the ban between admins should take place in the "Admin's Ban Log" forum.
  • When responding to a challenged ban, state facts not opinions, and be prepared to provide proof (screenshot, log entries, witnesses, etc). However, in the absence of other proof, your account of the incident is sufficient to uphold a ban.
  • If the banning admin has not responded to a challenged ban within three days, it is appropriate for another admin to make a post to acknowledge the challenge and let the pubbie know it is being researched.
