So... I play on the Texas 2fort all the time... and I guess to a point I've become a type of celebrity there, and I've gotta say I'm getting pretty sick of the lack of real admin support on the server. With the constant mic spamming, people constantly spamming trade requests, griefing, and all sorts of other nonsense going on there, it's beginning to get more than annoying to just come on and play.
That being said... I'm telling you guys that since your server is full and active most of the day, you either need to get an admin in there to take care of it, or make a regular (I'd be willing to do it) an admin. Because as it is now it's aggravating the lack of support it's getting.
 
If there are problems on the server most of the time like you say. Why don't you report it on here?
 
you know how there's a report feature that get's advertised in chat once in a while
yeah
use it
 
My point being... is that there needs to be someone there as it's becoming quite frequent. And I know it's got to be so frequent for me that I have the vote function hot keyed. I'm not asking for much, just that the place get properly moderated, because it's become clear that it isn't. Also... reporting doesn't do squat in the immediate time.

If a person is breaking the rules. use the !report function.

If that doesn't work, add an admin and ask them to help
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/skial-admins

If micspamming is annoying you. client mute them

If someone is trade spamming, block them or turn of trade notifications.

All of this can be easily done by you which will easily and effective get you the admin love you desire.

I understand what you are saying about every user doing their part to help, but filing a report that likely won't be checked for at least a day or two... still ruins the gaming experience in the now. All I'm asking is that because the place is active (and clearly active with people who DON'T give a fuck about the place and as such do whatever they like there) that it get the proper admin support that any active server should. And if it was an issue of not having someone available to do it, I was offering to do it myself, as I've come to like the server and the regulars that frequent it.

please look here.

almost Every single report gets check within 10 minutes. With the exception of scam reports and the occasional report that gets missed every now and then.

If you need an admins attention the best method is to personally add them.

If you file a report manually on the forums I know that one of our admins will respond to it as quickly as possible and on the same day you post it up on here and as we have said before is that you can add the admins and notify them if you need any help at all. I don't see what is so hard about that.
 
I forgot to even mention what spyderman said. Just because the report doesn't work doesnt mean you cannot make a post on the forums yourself to report someone. also an effective way to get the admin love you desire.

Reports are checked immediately most of the day in my experience. Like Ruelel said, admins are very active in checking that forum. I've submitted reports before and watched a person get banned or kicked literally 30 seconds later.

I know that a lot of the admins also don't mind if you add them on Steam and ask them to come in and take care of troublemakers. If the report function isn't doing it for you, maybe this is a better solution.

Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble, but I think you would do well to try and open a better dialog with our admins. They really are a pretty great team, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
 
So the basic response I'm getting is "We don't care enough to have an admin monitor the place, instead you do all the work and we'll only look when we feel like it." I think that looks pretty damn lazy on your guy's part. :|
Is it really asking so much that an active server have an equally as active admin to keep it in check?
 
There's a asston of servers and only so many admins on at a given moment. Very rarely do other servers and gaming communities have admins 24/7 on duty babysitting their 20+ servers, let alone have the capability to have that many admins on in game.

When I see reports come through, if its not during the dead of night I see them generally get taken care of within less than 10 minutes, not 2+ days. This is proven simply by looking at the reports section and seeing when a report is made and when the admins respond.

While I agree it would be nice to have a admin in that server (hell, every server) it's completely unrealistic.

The best thing you can do is make use of that report feature and make liberal use of your mute and the votemenu.

Yes. Make an admin application if you want to be an admin. We don't just give it away
 
Hell Admins have been complaining about how other admins get reports before them, just making a report will work.
