The server has been down for over half an hour.

Over the past months there has been a serious lack of admins being on or admins abusing there power I have seen admins kick players for being afk even though they are not. I would like to have the community sit down and review admins behavior. Veterans is one of the most relaxed and fun to play servers and don't get me wrong know one likes tk'ers, asset stealers or people that are afk; but it has become disappointing especially with some admins in particular

Recently the !admins command was stripped from all but Head Admins. While the reasoning behind this clear, many admins raise the question as to why exactly this was done. It was a way for both =VG= and community admins to always know how many admins were in the server and most importantly, to notice new admin names in-game. As stated in the Admin instructions that everyone has to read upon getting admin rights, admins are required to talk with each other to set next maps etc. Why then do we get stripped of the one thing that lets us see admins directly in-game? I hate to think of admins as solo police officers, not being part of a team as a whole. I know most admin names by heart but without !admins I would not have known asquirrel or StormHawk10 before much, much later, with all the risks of mistaking a problem-fixing admin for a badly behaving/rule-breaking player. Our aim is to keep the server healthy, the players happy, and to make sure everyone follows the rules. =VG= is and will probably remain my all-time favourite server because of the regulars and playstyle. I get a huge pleasure from making sure everyone is having a good time and our player counter is high. The biggest reward for any day of being an admin is simply seeing people work together and having fun. To be at our top game of admining, it's a good thing to know who is who, and to know there's another admin who can deal with the issue when one is preoccupied. Is there a bigger reasoning behind this change that we are missing? Thanks for your answer. Have a great day! Acro
