Defending yourself from Admins
By Mariotravel209
Ever been bullied by an Admin for no good reason? Most Gmod servers will at least have ONE bad admin, and most of the time, they could get away with their actions. Well not anymore! We have a right to defend ourselves from whoever offends us in anyway. the goal for this guide is to encourage Gmod players to defend themselves from Bad Admins, to make Gmod communities a better and nicer place to play on!

1. Always be the Good Guy
The most important thing when trying to confront an Admin is you HAVE to be the good guy, all the time! Meaning you cannot say "Hey Admin! Why you gotta be such a dumb b**ch to me?!". Never Insult anybody when doing so! Just because he insulted you doesn't mean you gotta insult him back! If the Admin insults you first, then he already failed at being an Admin! No matter how good he is, an Admin should always have a positive attitude to players! Now DON'T USE THIS AS EVIDENCE! Admins insulting you won't be enough! If he muted you, slayed you (only In TTT, DarkRP, Prop Hunt, etc.) Then that's when you have both the Bad Attitude and the Abusive powers, enough to show the Admin, a Lesson!

Also, Don't try to report him if it's a small reason (ex: Slapping, Whips, etc.) Only report if you have to!

If you see an Admin failing at his job in anyway, YOU MUST report to the server's community, No Matter if it's your first time being in that server! I'm pretty sure that most server's will actually appreciate doing this as it will help them make the server a better place to play on!
2. Record the Whole Damn Thing! (Collecting Evidence)
When you start to see an Admin doing strange bad things in the server, its best to get it all on footage! Get "Fraps" out and Start Recording! If your PC's that bad, then start taking pictures either In-Game or using Steam's Screenshot Capture (F12 or F5) (at least if you get about an average of 15 fps or higher, then thats good enough). It is also a great idea to take pictures of your Gmod's Developer Console! Start taking pictures of the Console from when you started playing in the Server! The Server's community needs to know the whole story!

Grabbing witnesses is also a great idea! Your friend won't count as a witness! Why? because most Server communities will be thinking both you and your friend had set the whole thing up and tried to make an Admin loose his job! Grab actual witnesses you can trust on! some server communities might not count witnesses as evidence, so if that's the case, then say it all in the server's in-game chat, so other Admins could see it in the server's console later!
3. Corrupt Staff
If the current server your in has multiple admins or even the Owner defending a Rule-Breaker or Minge, then GTFO! It's never worth wasting your time being on a server full of corrupt admins! if an Owner only cares about Server's donation money and nothing else, then GTFO! If an Admin is abusing the whole server, then record it....THEN GTFO!
4. Abusive Power/Jumping into conclusions
if an Admin uses his powers for invalid reasons such as (granting armor in DarkRP, or godmode in TTT) then Record & Report! Some of the Admins in Gmod attend to get admin only so they can use it for gameplay. Also, if an Admin even dares to use power just because only one person told HIS side of the story, Record & Report! This is ALWAYS wrong! an Admin will always have to ask multiple people in order to know the true story! If you seen an Admin banning multiple people, you have to ask why he did, and if he uses his powers on you, Record & Report!
5. Mario's Experience with Bad Admins
Now What i'm about to tell you is a true story from what I've experienced from an admin in a Prop Hunt Server. (and yes, expect this to be long :P)

Prop Hunt Story: So basically i had my friend wanting me to join a Prop Hunt server, so me and him could, you know..Play Prop Hunt! So then i said "Sure, Ill Play!". I waited for my Gmod to load me into the server, and we played for a few minutes. Eventually, my friend had to leave since the next day was going to be his first day of school. After a few hours of me playing in the same Prop Hunt server, a couple of people (Including Me) noticed we had 'Ghosters' with an obvious fake Russian accent, and they were literally giving us headaches.

(Oh boy, now here's the "good part") Eventually an Admin came by and banned MULTIPLE players that we never even knew they were playing on the server for "Ghosting" and didn't banned the 2 Russian Ghosters. I then, simply said "You missed the 2 Russian Ghosters." The Admin told me that the 2 Russian Ghosters "knew the map very well, and that they were very good players" and then saying that i should stop "false reporting". I knew that was not true because One of the Russian Ghosters actually ADMITTED that they were ghosting. I told the Admin that, and he said in his own words that "He's taking the p*ss because your accusing him of something he didn't do." (Uh oh! Obvious sign of Admin Defending Rule-breakers and Minges!) I realized that the admin was defending him, and I got confused. But what made me more confused was the fact that after that, he said that he had an admin tool for the server that would tell admins who's ghosting and who's not. (yet we all know that Gmod can't access Skype servers lol). When i did told him this, he responded "No, But i'm very good at my job." (WTF?) I told him that i got confused about the 'Admin Tool Part' and when i did, he threatened me that if i said something like that again, he would ban me from the server for "Being a D*ck". then I said, "Ban Me for being a D*ck? I never insulted you! in fact, you just insulted me! I'm just stating from what I've heard!". Eventually he ended up muting me, including him saying "Shush, your Annoying everyone". I got mad for this. Ironically, He actually made a couple of people annoyed. Another fellow player got mad for What that admin did to me, and literally typed to the admin " lol, you shut your wh*re mouth, you know nothing about being in charge". I was grateful that somebody stood up for me, but then eventually the Admin banned this fellow player from the server, and i felt terrible that he got banned just for me. (oh yeah, and he was banned for "being a d*ck")


So yeah, that's pretty much how it went! I tried to record evidence but the 2 Russian Ghosters stopped when the admin came, and there was no way for me to prove to the Server's community that the Admin was abusing and giving me attitude, and so i left!
6. Conclusion
From what I've experienced was down right awful. I actually loved the server due to the features they had, but thanks to this Admin, he ruined my experience for the server, and for sure, i won't be going back in here. To All of the Server Communities, Please take this for consideration because if you have Bad Admins in your server, it won't ruin only mine, but other player's experiences as well. "One Bad Apple is enough to Rot All Apples". and As for you, Fellow Player, Defend yourself because not only you'll be a hero at the end, but you'll also make server's a more enjoyable and nicer place to play on! Good Luck! :D
Special Thanks to you!

I just wanted to say Thank you guys so much for enjoying my first guide! I luv you all! <3 For some reason, the comment notifications for this guide went down, but anyways, I know some of you want to know the admin's name (the admin who abused in the prop hunt server), and i know you wanna duke his/her ass and all (which i appreciate) :P but i should respect his/her privacy and keep his name silent from the public. I really don't want players to oppress this admin, no matter how much of an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ he or she could be. But once again guys, Thanks for the support! I appreciate this! :D

I got banned for RDMing a Staff, Not listening to staff, Propblocking to the max, only intend to minge. These reasons are all bull shit I killed the staff member because he stole my printer when he came into my house (Go cry you fuck) Not listening to staff when he didn't give me any orders or warnings, Propblocking to the max when I only put TWO doors infront of two windows which is allowed, and only intend to minge. Minge. MINGE! I just got onto the server and getting banned. The Admins name is Majikarp and is corrupt as fuck. I am telling you peoples this so if you run into him prepare for the ban slam. Server Posidon Dark RP.

Dear guide writer, you can record your game using the command RECORD on console, and then upload a demo file wich will run on all computers, no need to download any programs at all.

The best part of it is that demo files can be seen with different FPS on another computer or have their graphics changed, so you can view it well enough.

How can you "be the good guy" when they instantly mute and gag you.
