We are badly looking for moderators!

Want to be part of the team?! Want to help?! Read below...

 
NOTE:
Admins will act on the basis that ALL players know the game and it's mechanics.
We think that no one goes to an online game without first some practice and know how to play it.
Companies without registered nicknames (as shown in Client List) on it, can be reset without warning!
To learn OpenTTD mechanics, there is a forum/wiki and... a Single Player mode!!
Practice before playing on BTPro, and if you decide to start, READ THE RULES first.

 
If you wish to become part of the BTPro Server Operator family, ensuring that the rules are upheld with fairly and justly,
the willingness to teach new players on how to play the game and to make sure BTPro is one of the most relaxed,
entertaining servers out there for OpenTTD then apply in the Moderator Applications section below!

Also do not hesitate to ask us a question in the forums or when you see us online on one of the servers!

Happy Gaming!

Banned for destroying my *own* vehicles? 10 years 10 months ago #2526

Hi there, just got around to sorting out my forum login but I thought I'd relate an issue I had with one of the server operators a while ago (2-3 months ago) before I joined up with the forum.

I was playing on one of the BT Pro servers and had basically become bored, as I was quite in front of the opposition so I decided to call it a day and started blowing up my *own* trucks for fun.

An admin joined and kick/banned my from the servers without saying why. I then had to find the IRC channel to find out why. I was told in IRC by (ST2 maybe?) that I was banned for destroying vehicles. This was causing spam on his monitor bot, which is why they noticed, joined the server and kicked me without telling me why. I basically had a very long "conversation" with him about the issue, my point being that I hadn't actually broken any rule, whereas his point was that it was causing problems with their bot. This conversation went on for many hours so whoever the admin was will probably remember it.

My question is this:

Is it against the rules to deliberately destroy your own vehicless?

Banned for destroying my *own* vehicles? 10 years 10 months ago #2527

hi :)

when a RV is destroyed by a train, it's sent to IRC a message similar to this: * +ttd-srv17 * !! Unnamed (10/White) had a crash (vehicle ID 6071: road vehicle was destroyed by a train at 0x100554).

when this type os msgs appears consecutively and repeatedly there's 2 options:
1 - Someone is sabotaging another player RV's
2 - Someone is bored and decided to "annoy" some admins making them worry about the vehicle destroying... our first thought is always: it's case nr 1.

So, if the rules say "The main intention of these rules and of every admin watching the servers is to keep the fun for all players up. If you work against that intention and constantly annoy players and/or admins – even with only things that the rules don't explicitly forbid – you're still risking to get warned/kicked/banned!", do you think that destroying RV's (even own ones) intentionally, is an acceptable behaviour or even normal to reach server goal?

Answer my question and you'll get the answer to your own question!
Hope it helps and enjoy the games :)

So essentially, if you annoy an admin, for whatever reason, it's grounds for a ban?

well, that doesn't seem to be the answer to the question I made...

do I need to make it again, or you can read it on my other post?

You know we've already discussed this to death, but the way I read it is:

1. I annoyed an admin by spawning kill messages on their bot
2. That admin then banned me, because they assumed I was doing it to annoy them.

Leading me to reason that:
"If you annoy an admin (ie make it less fun for them) then they can ban you".
