Guys, he just need some advice, don't act like a douche, no-offense.

I've been admin in many servers, and first time, when I was hand-picked as a admin, I didn't knew anything, about "what to do", "when to do", etc.. but, you know what, the environment of the server taught me, the actions of other admins taught me, my observations taught me, my experience taught me, and many more things.. then slowly, slowly I got used to it. I've learned many more things, as an admin. That, we're only normal players, we just got some powers to keep the server clean from the hacker/cheaters.

Look for things which gives any advantage to a specific player over others (unless specifically approved) are not allowed, so we've to take actions against it. We shouldn't be so friendly as a admin. We should never abuse our powers, because that's actually unfair. Never trust a player, very much, and more than others. Because, it can cause a biased behavior within you.

Check every report, you're getting from players, act on it, asap. Even, if you're off-duty, then also check the player, and take actions, if he's hacking. You should stop the things, which are not allowed in the server (/rules). There are many types of hacks/cheating types.

The things, you should've to stop:

• Fraudulent Behavior of player.
• Plagiarism
• Advertisement
• Flaming and Insults
• Trolling
• Spam
• Hacks
• Rule Breakers
• Intentionally aiding/covering a hacker.
• and some more..

There are some procedures of banning hacker too, I'd explain that too:

~ /ban procedure:

Before banning a player, you must be sure, that he committed an offense, which is suitable for a ban, you must be 100% SURE.

How to identify:

Health hacks: Firstly, /spec the player, who's reported, or you've doubt for him, that he's using hacks. Then, /burn him consecutively. If their life doesn't fall, or they regains it again, after the bar is empty. You've got a health hacker. (Note: Also /slap him to check, that if he's bugged or not).

Airbreak: - /spec him - Airbreak is pretty simple to identify. If the person is flying/moving in a straight line (upwards/downwards) or walking/jumping in a very strange/unnatural manner, then he's using a Airbreak hack.

Speedhack: - /spec him - it's so easy to identify too; spec them, and check their speed, if it's so fast, then he's using the speedhack, but some hackers are clever, and rarely use it, so you've to spec the person for a while, to bust him.

--

Ban evaders should be treated very harshly, if you see any ban evader, and you can't ban him, then inform to higher administrators, they'll take care of that hon'ble - ban evader.

~ /warn procedure

/warn is the main power given to the NEW admins, so they can only use that. Usually, a user is granted 3 warns, if they're warned 3 times, they'll be automatically kicked from the server. You can warn people for reasons such as:

• Trolling
• Spamming
• Harsh Language
• Insulting
• etc..

~ /kick procedure

/kick is not used much in the server, it's only for some serious shits, etc.. It can be used for reasons, such as:

• Bad name
• Not allowed name
• Insulting very much
• If the player is bugged
• etc..

And yea, if you kick them, you've to kick with a proper reason stated, using English.


~ /akill procedure

/akill is used to punish players, who committed minor offense. Admin kill maybe used as an alternative to the /warn command.

- You may use /jail to jail players, if the player is committing a offense which is suitable for a jail (Spawnkilling, teamkilling, etc..). And yea, this carries a maximum sentence of 2 minutes. When jailing a player, please use respectable times. Not abusive (100/10000 minutes or falana thekda).

Remember the players name (it will be shown in the chat box) - Sign back into the server with a NON LEVELLED ACCOUNT and proceed to get that players ID - Sign back into the server with your LEVELLED ACCOUNT and quickly ban the user. You will know the hacker is still on when you see the chatbox, DO NOT ban if the chatbox isn't spammed with the warning message. SPEED IF VITAL, YOU ONLY GET A FEW SECONDS TO BAN

Your do's as an administrator:

As an administrator, you should be mature, friendly, knowledgeable and active. Acting professionally towards the players is a vital part of the job, the players need to be able to trust the administrators. And you shouldn't act like a child - no childish behavior. You should be trust-worthy. Never abuse your powers, it's a very big offense, and can result in an instant demotion (unless you're the owner :P).

This is a big point - Administrators are using their powers, to gain an upper hand on the players and that is strictly not allowed, and is a very big offense.
-Using jetpacks to kill players.
-Using a command, which helps you to gain an upper hand on a player (i.e /burn a player, which is trying to kill you (WHEN YOU'RE OFFDUTY))
-Teleporting to player to kill them! NOT ALLOWED
- Spawning RPG, Minigun, Heatseek, Satchels and any other forbidden weapon! NOT ALLOWED.
And many more.. so please take care, and DONT ABUSE YOUR POWERS.

Thanks for reading - it's not me, it's my experience. Goodluck for your journey as an administrator.

Yours sincerely,
Kapersky.
