many noobs have been coming to the server and causing chaos after the admins and vip have left

as andy has said there have been more bans now than before so this is were u should post the people who you think should be banned such as this guy,

[GH] iD4NG3R´

reason being he kills the whole server with the wire field generator and generally disrupts peace with people building

and a cpt.peirce guy whats been playing with combat

and then cpt. destroyed my thing and i got disconnected

1st picture you can see the 3 different field generators he used.. fire, gravity and repulsion

the only viable thing to do in your "list" of fixes is to add votekick but even that can be abused and practically everything else is abused as well.

voteban is no-no as it can be easily abused and can cause innocent victims and adding a script that kicks people after so many kills is also unfair as people can build contraptions that kill people purposely but obviously with the permission of the person getting killed. Also killing someone can also be an accident some times.

I think we should just work on a temporary "Emergency" system during the summer holidays. Simply, having less tolerance, only 1 warning instead of 3

THEY HAVE 3 WARNINGS?????
and an "Emergency" thing would be but also another one would be make all poeple that are able to kick/ban should know how to do it through the server console such as Danish, Helios, Andy (ofc), Woofski so they don't need to join the server and can take care of the situation easily. agree?

Hm... I can see how voteban could be a problem if it adds permanent bans, however, if it banned you for say... 10 minutes or so, I think it could work pretty well.

Another alternative could be to add a new usergroup for people who play regularly on the server, and perhaps let them have said limited voteban option. Perhaps Gcombat, pew pew and sbmp weapons could be limited to regulars and up as well?

New players could get the Regular status after playing 'X' amount of time on the server.

Just a suggestion.

acctualy helios, that is a good suggestion. its like between client and vip. would be very useful for the regulars that get the odd annoying person that disrupts the rest of the server. to me i think the regular group can be seen as a welcome party sorta thing. i even have a weclome e2 chip XD

the "regulars" should be really easily gained, like just 3 hours play so players don't feel left out for long and the GCombat idiots get bored enough to leave.

Also, next time when you ask for a ban, it helps a ton to get their steam ID, its what makes the difference between 3 seconds and 1 hour looking through the chat logs for their ID

oh yeah, and if there's a dispute about a ban, or there's no steam ID, it would be a good idea to have the time too

Well, if it's 3 hours, we should at least make AFK time not count into that. Cause that would kinda be an abusive way to get regular status. Personally though I think 3 hours is a bit too low. I think 6 - 8 hours would be more sufficent.

do you think andy means 3 hours for a kick time?

and well the regular should acctualy be "regulars" like 6 - 8 hours is very short anyway. that cpt. guy kept coming back day after day so he could have gain that status. a good time would be 36 - 48 this give the mean of regular and not temp

we couldn't do that dev, that will be to long of a time for people to wait as they would get bored after so long.

Also andy meant 3 hours till they become regular I believe.

2 days is a long time to play and a long time to wait till you can get access to certain things you may want to use on your contraptions.

6 to 8 hours should be long enough.

2 days give the Regular feeling. people can play it one day and come back the other as a regular. thats not very long. if they keep coming back and back again, then they are fellow scrapheapers. you get what i mean?

The point is, restricting people for a long period for until they become regulars can be frustrating for some.

We've already taken noclip from the normal players. taking away even more for a long period of time would be annoying and they would leave and join a server which gives them the rights straight away with no questions asked.

The way you suggest would only diminish the number of new people who join the scrapheap.

it would be impossible to measure 2 days, 6-8 hours sounds much more reasonable, as that would account to 2 days gameplay. And yeah, the Afk time shouldn't count. We just need someone to code it now...

noclip was taken away yes? well if they play for 6-8 hours they get it. noclip was not for everyone and so people don't even wnat to wait for noclip. if they like the server they would come back again and again. yes see what i mean?
2 days is too long i suppose but regulars play the server alot such as me, mittnes, master and commander and some others. it is a privalige that noclip would even be given as it was not mebt for normal players anyway

I didn't even say about giving people no clip.. I was using it in my example to show some people are already turned away because they don't get no clip and restricting people even more for a long period of time would turn a lot more people away as other servers wouldn't be as restricting. This is a game, not a political system.

o sry, miss understood you. but what is this "more" cuz there isn't realy anymore to take away

If you say there isnt any more to take away then why are we discussing this...

A new status on players is good. 6- 8 hours time of playing on server to gain this status is reasonable. !votekick for regulars is a good idea with a default time of 20 - 30 mins seems reasonable giving time for people to build and settle down.

any ban requests should be posted here with steam id for easy ban.
