Exclamation Admins

We could really use an admin around US Central 00:30 AM/ US Eastern 01:30/ UK 06:30 AM for BF2142, Just had a dude for a whole map that just TK and not a single admin around.
Would it be possible to post a list with the current admins and the time they are most commonly on? Pref with like icq or msm or some other alternative chat function that you could reach em when needed.

It just ain't fun when the TK run un-a-posed through a server.

To be fair though most of the admins are based in one of those timezones aren't they?

I can't blame anyone for being asleep at those times of day...

Re: Admins

Most of the admins have normal lives. My work schedule usually gets me home at midnight - early AM.

Re: Admins

When you notice this type of behavior and no admins are around, I would recommend A: Checking teamspeak in case you haven't, they may be lurking there. Or, if there's still nobody around, Or, in case that doesn't work, write the guy's name down and make a post in the "Contact an Admin" forum. That should ensure something gets done!

Remember our admins are all volunteers here.

Re: Admins

Yh, make a note of who they were like DaBrit suggested. The admins do such a great job that sometimes we forget that they're only human , and they need a rest too now and then.

If you play regularly during those hours why don't you apply to be an admin yourself? You are a SM

Re: Admins

I believe that admins are chosen, not applied for.

Re: Admins

Some admins have scripts running so that any time anyone types "admin" or "reporting" they get a noise.

That would be incorrect, You can apply to become an admin by contacting the game officer. The game officer will then discuss the candidate with the other admins of the game in question. TG is always looking for people to volunteer to keep the TG way going strong

Re: Admins

Post ingame about the abuse.

Global chat: "Report **** for teamkilling"

These things are reviewed and retroactive actions are taken after the admins review the logs. Please keep that in mind. You may alsways have an admin on, but if you report it...justice will be done!

Re: Admins

I have found the best thing you can do for the admin team when one of us is not available to you in your time of need is smack the print screen button of the offender and start a thread in the contact an admin forum and link us the pic and give us the specifics like time, date and map so we can then go back and watch the battle recorder and either put offending people on a list of people to watch or even go as far as to retro ban someone for offenses great enough to warrant such an action.

We do our best to be there as often as possible. As of right now there is almost full admin coverage from 8AM to 8PM est 7 days a week between 2 individual admins who are able to observe from their places of business. After 8 there is usually an admin or 2 in game playing from 8 till 11 or so. After that it can be a bit hit or miss. I personally am in the Mountain time zone and you can usually find me in TS "IF" I am at my computer in my home office until 3am EST from time to time.

Re: Admins

Yes, use the j key (default) to report someone for a reason.

To read the proper post on this Click here.

It's in the Stickies section. I suggest the other guys who are kinda new around here read that, as well as the other stickies in this forum (The stickies are the sectioned off top posts in the forum. They're used for scrim and other event notifications, but there are also things you should know in there).

Re: Admins

I prefer to use squad chat or if I'm COing use team chat. I've reported someone before through global and got a ton of spam (privately) from the offender.
