Admin Feedback Thread (Archived)

[Jansen]

The Admin Code of Conduct is placed in the Admin forums and it is not available elsewhere as that is not necessary because it is essentially a big list of do and donts that is not relevant for anyone that did not 'sign' it, however, if you find that an Administrator abused power, which you can do by simply applying common sense, then you can file a report that will be handled and if justified will have consequences. Next time please try to use shorter sentences if you expect someone to answer?

So the community doesn't get to know what standard admins are held to? Yber voiced several times in this thread where he believed an administrator abused power. And a lot of people in here agreed with him. Based on everything I've heard, my common sense says he should file a sanction report.

So why haven't you all told him to file one? Your common sense argument doesn't hold water and the admin code of conduct should be publicized.

And no. The question was fine. Or is using English too complex for Hannibal to understand against the admin code of conduct?

Server Rules

-- Administrators are obliged:
To develop and safeguard the health of the Discovery Freelancer community, official server, and forums.
To be fair and treat all players equally, independent of their level and faction alignment.
Not to mix server roleplaying with server administration in any way.
Not to ignore any cases of server rules violations that are reported.

This used to be part of the server rules, it didnt get ported over to the update, but Ill do that now. You do not require to see the Admin Code of Conduct as everything it contains is condensed into those 4 lines of text, if something contradicts those, then you can assume that this is also the case for the CoC.

Regarding the XTF issue:
-Yber is here long enough, so we expected him to know he can report with things he considered to be overstepping bounds by players or the staff. Considering he did not do this and at least to my information did not talk to other Admins about this isse, the whole problem does not appear to be all that bad? Considering that even your common sense told you that a report might have been in order, then you might have informed him about this option as well?
-Hannibal took an action he deemed as fitting in this situation, that otherwise would likely have caused a lot of trouble. It could have been handled slightly different, but the intention behind the action taken was correct and supported by the staff.
-'A lot of people here' is a very unspecific and extremely subjective measurement, said "lot of people" appear to have been directly affected by this or at least have been affected by this because their "friends" have been. We have read the feedback in regards to this and made a decision on how to handle it.

Your question was ok, you should however keep in mind that not everyone in this community is speaking english as their mother tounge, as such it would be nice to formulate things in a simple way. Apparently that is why there is a "please" in my sentence? How that is related to Hannibal or the Admin Code of Conduct, which does not seem to apply to you at all, is beyond my understanding, but maybe you could as well stop the witch hunting?
