Who Is Boomer ~=tbh=~ And Why Is He An Admin

ubermenschubermensch Join Date: 2002-12-31 Member: 11692Banned
Ok, so I join SNIPERLUST2, knowing the sniperlust servers were always top notch from my DOD days. I take marines, the game is pretty fresh, start off decent enough, had the phasegate in main base and I was ready to explore. I meander over to nameless hive (ns_nancy), and see a gorge there building a res tower. What do I do? I kill it. And i did, pretty easily at that. Nothing out of the ordinary...happens all the time... but this doesnt

Read it all for yourself. We're not talking about some random clan server with a wise as llama admin whos on a banning spree, these are high quality, reputable servers, they have their own .com( <a href='http://www.sniperlust.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.sniperlust.com/</a> ), they've been around a while, they obviously take it seriously. Given that, what the hell is the deal? I kill him, I get slayed? I ask him wtf, I get banned? Again i stress that this is NOT a measly leased dead-in-two-months clan server, this is a serious gaming server, with serious players. What kind of server gives admin rights to people like this? Who is this Boomer ~=TBH=~ guy? Why would someone so childish and irrisponsible be allowed these rights?!?! Unless he's the sole founder of all sniperlust servers (even then its pathetic), I would really like to know where he gets off doing things like this and why he was given admin in such a server.

    Well, were you spamming it or did you just have a "really annoying voice"?
    I can figureout WHY someone would do something as dumb as X reason, but not that they're necessarily(got to check the spelling up) right...

    yeah....but he slayed me for killing him. previous to this the f-word was tossed around all over the place. my excitment given the circumstances gives me even more leverage than the others who said it just because a team member didnt follow an order. thats besides the point. what i want to know is WHERE DOES THIS LOSER GET OFF SLAYING ME CAUSE I KILLED HIM?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    ps. u can whip out the technicalities, but its obvious he banned me because instead of backing down under his admin abuse i questioned it

    As much as we don't care, it's still nice to know which servers to avoid...

    First, it's almost always more effective to contact the company behind the server than to post such stuff here. Second, if you're trying to warn people from a certain server, that's fine, but please use the Server forum for such threads.

    LOL, his occupation in his profile is "daddy".

    Judging from his bad attitude and quickness to punish anyone who doesn't listen, or questions his authority, the times he's not on the server is probably when he's at the hospital with his kid who "fell and hurt himself" again. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    While admin abuse is a terrible thing, this isn't the place or way to complain about it. Contact the sniperlust admins directly, and negotiate with them.

    BTW, that is a really stupid thing that admin did. I'm not gonna play on their servers anymore.

    They probably used the pablo pluggin for adminmod. It just turns voice_enable off on your client.

    execclient(TargetName, "voice_enable 0");

    So ither edit your config.cfg and turn it back on. (1) or type "voice_enable 1" in your console, and restart hl. A restart is needed to get the voice comm working again. Or of course turn it back on in the hl menus.

    I've used the voice comm gag before, and the ONLY way it can work is by completely disabling your voice comm. But if I remember right, it's as simple as going through into the configuration or multiplayer customization menu again and checking a little box to re-enable it
  • HtNickoliHtNickoli Join Date: 2002-11-24 Member: 9786Members
    Another simple thing you can do is set your config.cfg, read only. Then anything anyone changes on your client side wont affect your game when you restart hl. Of course it also stops you from makeing setting changes permanent as well. Since when you exit hl, it can't save your changed cvars to your config.cfg. But a small price to pay if your paranoid about it.
  • [WHO]Them[WHO]Them You can call me Dave Join Date: 2002-12-11 Member: 10593Members, Constellation
    or god forbid, keep a backup of your config.cfg .

    of course if you don't want to keep a backup, and you don't want to have everything set in stone, then you can migrate your entire config.cfg to autoexec.cfg (you have to create it if you haven't edited it before) and delete the lines that you don't want to be set in stone (such as your name, and your key bindings)

    The reason these posts shouldn't be allowed is because every person who is banned is unjustly banned in their eyes. Ban someone for exploiting a bug or for abuse, but when they come to the official forums it turns into "I got banned for killing the admin", "I got banned for being too good".

    If you want to complain got to the servers forums. NS Forum admins don't move these stupid threads to server and operators thread, just delete them.

    Once I got kicked for attacking a marine outpost as a fade. When I rejoined and asked why I got kicked the "admin" said he doesn't like my name and kicked me again (I was playing for a long time there). I'll never join this server anymore (^NuT^).

    Guys, the server as far as I know doesn't excist anymore. I only brought this up again because I want to know what happened to it, since I held a strong dislike for it.
