Does killing afks over and over again count as bashing on noobs?

[RandomHero]

No, bashing refers more verbally than just pwning them :P Just don't harass them for being a noob. However, let an admin know if there is an AFK so that they can be kicked.

A repeated problem with the rules seems to be occurring, and that problem is that None of the Admins or anyone for that matter can make up their minds about which rules are rules. We need to come to an understanding. I think the admins should do a debate on the current rules to find which ones are solid. We need a list of Rules that doesn't alter. Take in mind that all rules we currently have are unclear and full of petition. Some examples are:

One admin says knocking down a Zombie's props is illegal, another one says that if you see zombie props, you should shoot them to save yourself.

There is also the case of the Camping in ridiculously high or out of reach places. We all know it's illegal, but there are some unclear things concerning the context of said rule. Some players tell me that an admin told them 2 props high was fine, another says four, They can't seem to remember the admin's name, so I don't know if they are telling me tall tales because I'm gullible or they are playing the telephone game amongst themselves.

Also whatever happened to the rule of use of an explosive barrel only when 80% of an entrance is blocked. And not using it just as a way to stat pad off a massive combo. Sure it looks cool when you get five unsuspecting people killed, but I've seen it used on some top notch players with no barricade at all. This gets them angry then they start wrecking the barricade of whoever blew up their assured victory plan, which causes a feud and results in kicking of both parties normally.

Also, the kicking of Foreigners just because they are foreign has to stop. We have a translator/admin, where the hell is the set of rules for them? They cannot read english and it's not their fault. If you can read korean, then and only then can you tell me it's their fault. They are guests on the server. They know about as much or less than our frequent 9yr olds. Have Hatsune write down our rules in korean and then have them placed alongside ours in the !rules.

Just really confused on what to tell people.

[Sajora]

u shouldnt care that much about the koreans cause if u tell them to shush most of of them say fuck you or shut up or something like that. some of them are just spamming the mic in korean or spam gamechat with affirmative and shit. i dont kick all of them just those guys who are afk or doing shit.
and i agree with u about that rule thing. ive played a few min with vit yesterday. and it rly looks like some rules depend on what admin is playing. its just confusing. some regs come to me when im playing and said admin X/Y said some shit is illegal. they cant remember the adminname but this admin said that something was illegal.
my prob is that theres nothing on the forums about a rulechange and that they cant remember the admins name so i could talk to him.
itd be cool if every admin follows the same rules so ppl dont get confused.

No Excessive Prop Stacking
- Stacking props to unreachable places will get you slapped, burned, and/or kicked. *NEW RULE*


does that mean more than 2 props? 1 prop should be legal because its like a teammates head, 2 props is like using 2 teammates heads which is not possible because it just slides u off

[DoT]

You forgot newly known dot ^^

[Rey]

Also, the kicking of Foreigners just because they are foreign has to stop. We have a translator/admin, where the hell is the set of rules for them? They cannot read english and it's not their fault. If you can read korean, then and only then can you tell me it's their fault. They are guests on the server. They know about as much or less than our frequent 9yr olds. Have Hatsune write down our rules in korean and then have them placed alongside ours in the !rules.

This Korean guy doesnt do shit. He says nothing. Types nothing. Just plays. No benefit. I've seen this myself.

[Natalya]

- MotD doesn't work unless Sios fixed it recently (So no point in writing Korean rules...)
- Random you and Vit need to agree on the prop stacking shit. You say it's illegal, but every time he comes in the server he's all like "It's okay to get to really high spots." This needs to be settled between you to so that we know when to lay down the law.
- Hatsune gave me translations for kick and ban reasons but they broke the admin menu. I'm trying to work this out but it might not be possible.

[JuuJuu]

well, is there anyway the steam_id can be located on the first map when you first join ZM? cause i usually sit on my ass doing nothing cause theres no point doing anything because it never gets added to rank, and this way we can see other people who join if you want to find a anoying person steam_id ect

[Natalya]

Type status in console and it might work but you can't be sure. Source Mod sucks for no-steam and doesn't obtain steam id's immediately for some reason, but the sm forums are full of dicks who ban you for asking about no-steam and I honestly don't have the time to go looking up how to fix it.

[DoT]

I'm just wondering, what's the prop rule? Some of the regs are saying the admins are saying 1 prop, some are saying 2, and someone told me 3? Idk who to slap of their spots because idk how many are legal. Until i know 3 props is enough for me.

[JuuJuu]

it should only be 1, cause thats like having a teammate there, and u shouldnt be able to go to outside of the map, meaning if u can fall under it, illegal, if u can see threw buildings then u arent soposed to be there and should be illegal

[DoT]

Well, my thing is, prop menu was created for this. I understand what you mean by the teamate thing. But ive been able to prop up to spots people proped up to easily. The only spots i find hard to get to are the spots where there is only one place to prop up. But i still have the question...how many props are legal?

[fRANK]

I say 2 not more!
