How do I report an admin?

Post by Wolf »

Alright so i'm unfairly banned by an admin for somehow insulting him, and I find it to be utter garbage since I was banned for 3000 minutes.

and the full story goes like this.

Were playing, me and someone were side by side he turns, I die. I say "70% of the kills make no sense these days" He says, "Stop whining" I tell him "Shut up" and then i'm unfairly banned. How do I like report this guy to the administration or something.

Not by posting here. It never ends well, trust me on this. Don't tell us the server/admin name. Instead, contact the server owner, maybe he's running a forum or has an account here. Try to resolve things privately. When talking to the server owner, first thing you do is apologize, even if you think you have no need to.

Meh, just chill for a while. It's only 2 days. You're going to get touchy admins once in a while. Not a big deal. And it's a good idea to apologize, even for something minor (like telling him to shut up). I spend a lot of time apologizing for my big mouth and I feel a lot better after I do.

Of course, it is better to realize that telling someone to "shut up" is generally considered very rude, and to just wait it out.

Generally what happens when someone thinks an admin has been unfair is they come here and blather all over the place, then other players, the admin, and whoever jump in to tell the guy he's a smeghead, then he goes and gets all his friends to come back and tell the server operator, his admins, his family, friends, complete ancestry are all smegheads.

Then it typically degenerates into "I know you are, but what am I?"

Really, just wait it out. Develop a thicker skin. This isn't a nursery, it's the internet.

Hmm, methinks much of the internet is indeed serving as a nursery.
