"reporting players is job of the admin, not the players"

I must be some workaholic because of how many rule breakers I've reported at this point. Couldn't possibly be because of how easy it is to do it.
That's awesome! I did say in that thread that it's a great feature. It's just my opinion.

So... you think an admin's job is to report players? And you as a player don't want to waste time doing it, because you don't think you should? I think you've got the whole system confused...
Again...yes. I think an admin is an admin. That's one of the things admins do. I feel like a player comes to play and enjoy themselves. They shouldn't have to worry about recording demos and stopping in game to file a report. It's nice to join a server and know that the community has admins who are handling the job. I think having the report option is a great feature for who wants to use it. I don't think I have the system confused. Do you file a lot of reports? If so I could understand your opinion and why this sways your opinion on this subject.

Usually I wouldn’t blame players for not wanting to report rule breakers. I understand the laziness and, as you said, the fact that they just want to relax and play. If I played on a server I didn’t care about I wouldn’t even bother reporting anyone.

The thing is, if you care about a community to the point where you want to become admin then there is a problem. That “it’s the admin’s job” excuse isn’t acceptable. You should care, even as a player.

Socks would make a good admin. +1

It doesn't matter if he gets a tiny bit of syntax wrong. What's important is enforcing "good community play".

You ever notice how admins don't file reports?

Wow...I have to agree with you. I never really thought of it like that. I guess I was being simple minded on the subject. I do care thou. I think I will have to reconsider my stance on reporting. Thanks

I'm wondering if my app was denied because people thought the sucks person was me? Otherwise I don't see why it was declined? I think it's only fair for someone to explain. Thanks

Edit: It said denied...then changed to improve? I don't feel like some of the regs on here asked questions or gave me a chance?

I didn't specifically state my stance on your application, but that point we all know its a -1.
Sorry for the many posts...I'm just responding as I should.

Dutch....I could tell early on that Socky was being negative towards me. (I know my name is better) but I think it's a poor decision on your part to jump to conclusions regarding the sucks person. As a admin you can't accuse someone of something you can't prove. I request that you withdrawl your -1 until you have some kind of proof that was me.

Kind of a mute point now.

You have a "point" just don't understand why I didn't get the same questions as some others.. the sucks person wasn't me. I still feel like I would be a good admin. I think I had good responses to everyone and I'm happy to answer more questions. Who closed this and why is all I'm asking.

If you don't understand what the point of reporting is then you are not ready to be admin. It is literally your one responsibility

There isn't a functional difference between declined and improve but most admins prefer using improve now unless someone is obviously trolling

They initially marked your application Declined but later changed to Improve. Obviously if you cannot see where your logic fails when the admins themselves can you're not ready for such responsibility.

Stop...I don't post on other peoples apps unless I know them because I'm not admin. You have zero input...as if I would. So stop...thanks and have a good day.

I think you missed the point. As an admin...one thing...as a player another.
