<div class="IPBDescription">please help me :(</div> well, i am an admin on brys natural selection server. As of this morning, one of the admins "Lighterning" lost his admin powers from the server. He got really mad at this, but bry left his login for the forums and ban system. So guess what Lighterning does? he bans everyone from the server using the ban system, and merges every topic possible on the forums.

I dont know what else to do, as soon as i unban someone he re-adds their ban again. We are both low level admins so we cant do anything to each other apart from ban from the server. Ive banned him from irc so he cannot do any damage there whatsoever.

    the only thing i can do is sit and wait all day. Bry starts work at 12 (in 30 mins) hes not online so i cannot get in contact with him. He finishes work at 9pm or so

    Hey, that does not help one bit.

    Who is on control/ has of the PC that actually runs server? The person who owns it can adjust the ban settings manually.

    The moral of this story is: when you take away someone's powers, <i>take away their powers</i>.

    i have no way at all of stopping him. And the regs on my forum are making spam topics which is even worse, as it now the admin forum is full of random topics

    I've played with him a couple of times on the server, he was a nice bloke. Never thought he would be this childish.

    Wait until the head admin comes back, and go after the sucker with a vengeance. And be more careful in the future - set up the system like a grown up. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    heh... kinda reminds me of all those funny greek gods. They could never really fight directly with one another so they'd lash out at each other's minions most of the time =3

    His silly actions are only worth the pain they cause... if everyone ignores him he'll get angry and run off to sulk in the corner somewhere =P

    If I was you, I would send a well-formed emil to Bry and calmly explain what happened. That usually always works. If not, flame this guy until you break him and he cries. That also works. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Now's when you hope Bry has some MySQL backups from a few days ago. Baleete the current IPB database, reload the old one, IP ban the SOB and flame him into next week. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Edit: also you could accidentally post his email address for the forum members to sign him up for a certain kind of pr0n spam.

    You do that, you're just as good as him. Just my opinion.

    Far from it that I approve his actions, though.
