Admin abuse

We were playing Goldrush stage 1. Skinnie was a demo on blue nading through the gate. I was a red Pyro, I would flame him, he'd retreat, then come back shoot through, Id flame him, he'd retreat, he came back, I flamed him, got a crit and killed him.

I was kicked, for "abusing" a bug. Flaming through the gate has been in TF2 since the beta and Valve have said its more of a feature than a bug because the flames are not projectiles. The only exploit is the demoman nading through it, that appeared with goldrush. It just so happened the admin at the time was on Blue and skinnie was their top player.

the next round. Skinnie naded and killed a spy through he gate, what happened, nothing. Favouritism on the admins part. I wasn't the only person feeling that there was abuse, about 3 others on my team felt the same.

I would like the admin who kicked me to be stripped of their admin. Unfortunately there was no name of the kicker, it was simply "Disconnected: kicked by administrator" but I beleive it was badtouch.

 

i have said ingame that it can happen sometimes that a admin dont see all the things. You are insulting really good admins!

why are you so frustrated on this case? you did not get a ban or something.. just a normal kick!

so stop the whining and just play... If you still think this isnt fair.. read the server rules! you see that you can get a kick/ban for it! So badtouch is forgiven on you!

 

Admin must be pretty blind to not notice the Player X killed Player Y kill icon during set-up. especially when killer had already been accused of it. SO a blind admin who's showing favouritism to a clan mate, if anything it's insulting a bad admin, not a good one.

I am frustrated because I was the one picked out. For him to see me kill skinnie, he would have been able to see skinnie shooting through the gate.

Can he really be a great admin when he threw a hissy fit at he English only announcement and threatened to take away all the regulars. That doesn't sound like being a good admin to me. If the admins job is to populate the server then threatening to take away players is quite the opposite.

 

Don't bugabuse the gates, even if the pyro uses 'projectiles'. Walk away, and if it happens that you do get killed, then that person should be slayed or kicked. Just my 2 cents. It's no use to get involved in that fight, cause you have the same chance of being kicked. Not to say that it's fair, but that depends from admin to admin. Imo, the first one who kills during setup, gets a slay/kick. I'm not focussing on that aspect all the time, trying to figure out who started it.

 

yeah but with the pyro, you and your victim ned to be basically stationary for a good few seconds. Most of the time medics will counter the damage. getting killed by a pyro through the gates is just humiliating considering all you had to do was take 2 steps back. Getting killed by a demoman through the gates is different. Spamming nades through the gate that have a large AOE and large damage is just annoying.

The reason I went for the kill was because I've always gone for those standing too close as more like a 4th taunt of "haha I lit you on fire from behind the gate whatcha gonna do bout it, na-na nana na *tounge*" So when did this practice become "bad" because I've been doing it on the servers for months and this is the first time I've been informed it was "bad". I thought it was always fair game if your too close to the gate.

 

Rockets can kill you as well, they have the same 'radius' as the flames. But the demoman is indeed a different thing. Still, it's bugabuse imo. It's not necessary to kill anyone during setup. There are various reasons why BLU stand right in front of the gates, for example looking where snipers/sentries are, or just trying to be funny while taunting. Getting killed maybe cool for one person, but it's hard to figure out which one, so to play safe :arrow: slay/kick anyone who does it.

Even if a person doesn't get punished immediately, doesn't mean he won't get it at all. Be patient, some day he'll get the bill and pay for it.

 

Just a quick/short reply on my side.

I kicked a fellow admin 2 for doing this.
I pointed out the him that it is considered a bug and he was abusing it.
He understood, and doesn't do it any more.

Can you do that same?

I always rush to the fences @ start. Just to see who is abusing the bugs.
And I warn once, maybe twice then kick.
Other regulars seemed to taken my point and even pointed out to him and others why he was kicked. And I don't favour any1, not even regs or fellow admins.

Maybe he didn't see it, maybe he did, but don't go pointing fingers if you it yourself 2.
