Over the cousre of last night i investigated a misunderstanding between an administrator and a player, where the player thought that an admin was abusing certain functions of the Debugging menu. What I found was, as i explained it to the player who leveled the complaint. (names have been changed to protect the identity of the people involved)

" Sharticles: ok so here is the situation, there was no teleporting used in any of the engagements "Admin" was involved in. there was how ever one instance of him gaining player kills with god mode turned on, he then revived the players, droped a pile of cash and moved on. this will happen from time to time it wasn't an intentional act, "Admin" does alot of debugging and helping other players (base building, teaching, helping get unstuck from rocks and what not) and alot of these situations are dealt with more quickly if god mode is used, which can intern lead to one forgetting to turn off god mode."

This is the soulution i have came up with

"Sharticles: i appologize for the mistake and am working on coding in a visual and auditory indicator that god mode is turned on ,ill try and make it as annoying as possiple to discourage the use of god mode unless necessary. I actually have the perfect sound, my cat is in heat and howling like crazy, i will make the sound 3D and attenuated like direct voice. i hope you find my decision fair and impartial"


We are a server the takes allegations of "abusing the admin menu" and "hacking" seriously and will take the time to investigate and find a solution to the situation, to improve gameplay so that all players, from newbs to administrators, can enjoy them selves and have fun in the server.


Have fun and happy hunting
