I know you’ve only been here for about 5 months but trust me when I say it’ll be abused. Those that had the power on our various other servers have abused it quite a bit. If I were to get rid of all the admins I don’t trust 100% we’d be down to like 4. I trust them to do their job but at the same time I’m realistic about abuse because every admin abuses, some just do it more than others.

 

Regardless of what you may think, I do know what I’m talking about.

I don’t really see how any of what I said up there led you to believe that I feel you’re incompetent. I simply disagree with the fact that you allow administrators to handle bans, yet you don’t allow them to handle something like changing a map. Now, if an admin actually abuses his or her powers with something like a map change, I really have no idea why that person is an admin to begin with.

 

I know I’ve been here for only a short while. I’m not trying to play johnny come lately and throw a wrench in the inner mechanics of WCU’s administration, et al. Part of my bias results from the fact that I’ve seen this work on other servers quite well.

 

Before WCU, and during some of my time at WCU, I played a game called Freelancer, and there was a very well made mod of it, called Discovery. Now, the professionalism that I saw carried on by those Admins and Mods were beyond compare. Part of my bias for people being good admins comes from that as well.

That’s probably a good idea, MasterP. Because if you don’t trust the current admins with the ability to change maps, you might as well give it to 4 and make the rest “Mods.” On top of that, now, in addition to the execs, we will have 4 extra people who can change maps.

 

Again, this is just me, but I don’t know why you’d allow someone you don’t trust 100% to be an admin.
