Powerabusing admin

idk · #1 11-30-2011, 09:02 PM

Today an unknown player (because of the nickname) joined and said in globalchat while a game was running: "Who the **** is aki?", so I answered "Who the **** are you?".
He responsed in teamchat: "Dont make me mad." and I answered "Oh please, ask nicely next time and maybe someone will answer you.", 5 seconds after that I got banned for 1 minute with the reason: ":*".
I told him he was powerabusing and that I would report this, he just asked if I still was mad. I left the server after that.

I looked up his VaporId, turned out it was ACE.Stormich: http://tec27.com/altbouncer/#0|36|48...e4193600dc8c10

Chatlog:

Code:

[20:38] [Team] Pata {arr}: like last time
[20:38] [Team] {arr}Iderik: ya
[20:38] [Team] =::akk::Squid&Whale=: sup J
[20:38] [BBQ]Nade: arg
[20:38] (5) THE MARVEL: nice!
[20:39] [Team] =[51]JWhatever=: 'ey
[20:39] A Moment of Violence: who the **** is akitensai
[20:39] {arr}Iderik: who the **** are you?
[20:39] [BBQ]Nade: ^
[20:39] [Team] A Moment of Violence: dont make me mad
[20:39] [Team] {arr}Iderik: oh please
[20:39] [Team] A Moment of Violence: whos tensai
[20:40] [Team] DT*: your mom
[20:40] [Team] {arr}Hagnot: hi
[20:40] [Team] {arr}Iderik: ask nicely next time, maybe someone will answer

*BANNED*

[20:42] Connected to server 66.252.74.15:27290
[20:42] Walls: normal
[20:42] Map: ball_funnelpark
[20:42] [Team] A Moment of Violence: he in?
[20:43] [Team] {arr}Iderik: so what was your reason for that?
[20:43] [Team] A Moment of Violence: good
[20:43] [Team] A Moment of Violence: i hate bombers
[20:43] [Team] DT*: im gonna post a pic on forums
[20:43] [Team] {ball}dozer: i endorse that
[20:43] [Team] {arr}Iderik: well, i reported you for powerabusing
[20:43] [Team] A Moment of Violence: lol
[20:43] GreenGiant: gg
[20:43] AH| Kaizen: gg
[20:43] [BBQ]Nade: gg

A while after he kept:
[20:54] A Moment of Violence: so sad
[20:55] A Moment of Violence: you still mad bomberman?
]

Saying "Dont make me mad", just proves his attitude to powerabusing. Then waited for an answer and showed me his power. This is so uneccesary. Your action as an admin effects the whole server and its image.

I know I'm overkilling with this, but this guy should not be an admin, he has nothing to do in there.

that's just basic stormich, but it's true. he annoys a lot of people <.<

leggomyeggo · #3 11-30-2011, 09:26 PM

Can people stop complaining about these stupid bans. Yours wasn't even a ban, it was a kick. Not even a kick. Lighten up and stay out of ladder for a minute.

idk · #4 11-30-2011, 09:29 PM

Ok, people been messaging me about Stormich. I cant believe how this guy is still an admin! Is it because he is old school and veteran around here, well I wont tollerate it. The time has come to remove him from the list!

Why would you even log on while drunk and start banning people? The truely shows your bad selfconfidense which results in powerabusing. I have no time or energy to waste on your social games, try that on yourself and see if you enjoy it.

So, was that an argument against my post? I cant see how anyone would take you seriously.

CCN · #5 11-30-2011, 09:41 PM

think this is a question for nobo

My argument is that people like you need to lighten up. How is that not a valid point?

I do not understand, leggo.

What was stupid about that ban?
Then you say it wasnt even a ban?
Im pretty sure it was a ban, since you cannot put a reason to kick. Maybe it was changed on last updated, not sure of that.
Oh, its not even a kick anymore?
Should I just let this drunk guy banning people and let him get away with it. Yeah, ill just wait a minute, I'll be back and playing like I used to, or not. Would you feel secure with a powerabusing police officer?

What more dont you have a clue about? Please, stay out of this.

Regardless of whether or not idk needs to lighten up - admins shouldn't be abusing their powers like that. This is especially true for storm who has a history of being a power abusive admin.

classicallad · #10 11-30-2011, 10:11 PM

<3<3<3 storm xD No offence Iderick but ya Storm's known for that.

I wasn't referring to your ban specifically. But mainly I was talking about the fact that people are complaining about bans for lengths so short that I couldn't find the time to say expialidocious ten times before they'd be unbanned.
Now you say it wasnt even a ban?
Everything like this is technically a ban.. But colloquially, a ban is thought of as a day at the least. One minute is more like "I disconnected from the server to go take a piss and came back".
Im pretty sure it was a ban, since you cannot put a reason to kick. Maybe it was changed on last updated, not sure of that.
Again, it is technically considered a ban. But I was calling it a kick because it had such a short timer.
Oh, its not even a kick anymore?
Standard kicks are 2 minutes. Your ban was 1 minute.
Should I just let this drunk guy banning people and let him get away with it. Yeah, ill just wait a minute, I'll be back and playing like I used to, or not. Would you feel secure with a powerabusing police officer?
Police officers already do abuse their power. But that's not the point. The point is that this is a video game. Police officers are real life.

What more dont you have a clue about? Please, stay out of this.
Not gonna lie, this closer lessened my respect for your arguments by about 25%.

It's power abuse, and from what I've heard it's not the first time. This alone should get this guy off the admin list.

If you can't keep yourself from abusing the power you were given to help out the community, that power should be taken from you. You're right Leggo, this is a game, that's why we shouldn't let a guy on a power trip ruin the fun for people.

While I am all for people taking stuff with a pinch of salt and they should take **** from other players a little more lightly. No one should have to take crap from an admin, that's why they're admins.

CCN · #14 11-30-2011, 11:00 PM

leggo,an an aside, are you for power abusing admins?

Premier Stalin · #15 11-30-2011, 11:08 PM

Leggo is for abusing power admins.

@CCN: I honestly couldn't care less about admin abuse. As long as I don't get banned for an extensive amount of time, then I consider it laughable.

^^akkar:It's not ruining the fun if you don't let it ruin the fun!

Don't get me wrong, I do realize that admin abuse is a bad thing, I'm just suggesting that you take it more lightly and don't overreact and immediately ask for admin powers to be removed. Personally, I like stormich as an admin because he's not afraid to ban people that need to be banned.

Tekn0 · #18 12-01-2011, 12:43 AM

Ladder and their admins are Nobo and server owner's bizniz but if they are to give any weight to community participation & feedback this ought to count as negative experience to players due to immature knee jerk reactions.

And FFS, stop pretending you are drunk on the internet. It got old years ago

leggomyeggo · #19 12-01-2011, 12:46 AM

Also, the ladder servers are privately owned, and the admins are handpicked by nobo. So, if you have a problem with one of the admins, why wouldn't you PM nobo?

Storm's gonna Storm

His impulsiveness sometimes leads to actions that not many people can agree with, but he also has the ability to cut the bull**** and ban people who need it but no one else is willing to actually do.

Yup. You see his value now?

Stormich · #26 12-01-2011, 07:13 AM

lol idk fu, I even got out of ladder to make sure you could get in after that minute,the score in game was low so its not like you missed a game or anything :P it was a joke after you started being elitist about telling me who someone was :P

EDIT: also, powerabusing? I've never ever banned someone who didn't deserve a ban, a real one(regardless of what people think)

elxir · #27 12-01-2011, 07:40 AM

Confirming that Stormich has never banned me.

it's just storm.. if you don't want to get kicked (possibly, doesn't even have to happen) then don't blend in the conversation or just mute him. I don't even bother anymore.

and, i have never seen Storm ban someone for a long time without reasonable explanation.

nobodyhome · #29 12-01-2011, 09:29 AM

Storm has been removed from being an admin. He has been warned about not doing this before and the continual behavior is unacceptable.

wolf'j'max · #30 12-01-2011, 10:19 AM

just asking to close this thread because if anything is going to happen, it's butthurt.

the bolded part is actually much more inportant than what some ppl think

Oh **** for a minute i thought this had been dealt with until veri came in with vital information at the last minute! Thanks Veri!

Warned?

I was like the last admin that actually gave a crap, hf

Ingbo · #35 12-01-2011, 03:48 PM

unless u missed the next game or something i think calling this powerabuse is pretty harsh. dont think that 1 minute ban had too much affect on ur evening.

idk · #36 12-01-2011, 04:02 PM

If Nobo is considering giving Stormich his powers back, let me know and I'll put energy in to answering all people's posts that dont understand what this is about.

malakas · #37 12-01-2011, 06:34 PM

most are cool but there are some that are power abuser d-bags (tg)

Demuyt · #38 12-01-2011, 07:25 PM

Closed, PM each other if you still have things to tell/yell at each other.

(a) I didn't ban you from ladder.
(b) I gave you a warning and you took a **** all over my warning.
(c) You constantly and for no good reason chatspam the most vile words that no one else wants to hear/read.

And yeah, I get it it's the Internetz / get over it / you can always mute people etc. but at some point I have my limit. There's just no use for that especially on an official server. Go play elsewhere and I won't have any power over you.

(d) if you need to pursue this further, feel free to PM me with _constructive_ feedback. Otherwise, I'll probably just ban you from the forums, too.
