Server Atmospherical Shift

[Anonymous]

I'm going to have a talk with all the admins today. But just to start it off, it seems like the lastest rule that was added, respect admins and players, is getting out of hand. If all the admins can't enforce that to a reasonable degree, then the rules will be changed. Most likely changed to "if you can't take verbal abuse, then leave!". So, I suggest the admins are on today so I can share my thoughts about all these recent reports and problems.

Why don't u just start a thread in admin section?

if only the server was back to the way it was 5 months ago before my comp broke maybe then the server would be different, less... well boring. i fell as if people dont get there ideas out there more of like a dictatorship(not in a bad way) just as if we have certain things we can say and cant say. we all affect the community in either a good or bad way. people we need to get our act together, we cant just go around arguing or trolling which seems to be the main thin in GR now. i say we learn to work as a team as we once did a long time ago, instead of being a seperate community, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." quote from Abraham Lincoln. we need to start working together, start recruiting less douchebags and start a cause, a cause for fun, and bring hl2dm back alive, if you guys havent noticed its dieing and we need to make this the best game around. if we cant then we will die(metophorically) trying. this is probably the longest post i have posted. so Ant/Nick please think of ways to do this, anyways we dont want this to end badly we want the best for this server and hl2dm in gernal

Why don't you just mute me rofl

Which brings me to my point; now-a-days I've seen a dramtic shift in the atmosphere of the server. It seems as if the rules have been stretched so far, thin, and almost oppressive that I have to watch every word I might say. I'm not filing a report by saying this because it's not even worth it (and not to pick on Aya) but the other day I listened to "meow" noises in the voice chat for about 3 minutes straight. So I get on ym mic (which is very rare) and say "whoever keeps doing all the cat noises, how about we cut that stuff out?" Not even one curse word. I simply was asking for the garbage to stop. A request. And I got muted for disrespect. Upon being unmuted briefly after, I questioned Aya on why I got muted and just unjustified it was. Regardless of that situation, people are constantly being threatened and yelled at to not say "shutup" or anything relatively negative. And this isn't necessarily having to do with Aya anymore, I'm speaking in general. Some admins are more leniant like the old days but some are ridiculously oppressive almost.

Give up bro, I noticed that a while ago already. It's hopeless, the old Area51 Deathrun will never come back. It's not the same fun anymore.
The server used to be a pub/bar, where friends could hang out and have fun, but it turned into a kindergarten, where everyone acts like a child and has to complain about everything at any time.

This shit keeps up, ill remove all the admins and we will really go back to the old times - Just me and nick as the admins.

THIS. THIS VERY MUCH SO.

I argee with Caleb and Ant, not only the server atmosphere changed but its gonna be out of control i think if we dont do something.

[ThomasBonjj]

And why do we have like 15 admins, like 4 of them are very active. I think that we just need 3 active admins. ('Off the topic' i just think we have to much admins, if you cant make time for the server you cant be admin)

[ThomasBonjj]

Ant or Nick sould make a vote for what to do now. We can talk forever on this tread, I think we sould close this 1 before its going nowhere.

The "inactive" admins will be removed after this weekend. !adminstats works great. I just needed a week of data to see whos really active.

I've enjoyed reading these comments, pretty good discussion going on here. Not sure what Ryan was trying to say by simply quoting two different posts and bolding one word? I might have missed it? Explanation maybe, sorry?

Ant's suggestion sounds GREAT to me. He has a point when mentioning the over-regulation getting out of hand in terms of the new rule. I love the idea of, "can't handle it, then leave". It's a video game. If we were a real life hangout spot or something I'd understand more regulatory respect rules, but not for a just-for-fun deathrun video game server. I also will steadfastly agree that the server isn't nearly as fun as it used to be. Hell, I'll admit it, hearing people bitch about one another or talk shit to each other was apart of why it was so fun, the witty timing of chat sounds with the voice-chat made for some hilarious discussions. Now I feel like I have to say sorry after hitting a button and killing some rebels. I mean really, how "nice" can you be to others playing a game where you KILL one another.

I just hate for the select admins who govern in great ways to lose their powers.
