Something needs to be done about hackers... - 2

Every admin on iEra has the power to ban and jail players, but it is not easy to catch them...
Just a report is sadly not enough for us. When we get the report and are not currently helping another player (don't forget that we often have around 600 players online...) we have to proof it. At that time the reported person might have already unsticked / disconnected / ended the glitch by reconnecting.

Then we have nothing we could use as ban reason and sadly can't do anything about it...
One of the biggest problems we have are the weak punishments. Some might call me a dictator but I think that every player who breaks the rules a second time should be punished hard. It must be more like a punishment than a short elimination from the game... Players should not even think about glitching because they could loose their beloved gun or maybe won't be able to play again for a few WEEKS. This is a way that 'might' help...

Now please don't say we need more admins.. honestly we don't. It's just very hard to do our job's when we get ton's of PM's asking for items, statues, events and auctions. It's annoying and keep's us from helping players who need us.

PM's like:

"I need your help".
"Come here please".
"Could you ask Snk something?"
"DEBUGUGUGUGUG"
"I found a bug"

and similar are pointless. They consume a lot of time to deal with. Simply send us your problem / question / description of a bug. And do NOT ask for items, events, auctions.

We MUST NOT give items to players and we MUST NOT hold private events or auctions.

I seriously love this community but sometimes I just rage about some people... lol.

Now, what if i got a pic of it.

Sadly a 'pic' won't help us. The reason is simple... everyone could fake a graal picture. Even if you don't have a clue about Paint / PhotoShop / Gimp you could still place all that NPC's in a level and manipulate them as you'd like.
We must actually SEE it. Even ten witnesses won't help.

Thats one of the biggest problems on here...

As your name suggest lol XD

But seriously that would be annoying but then again it's like a detective style job, that sounds considerable and fun, like that ace attorney game on DS

Rages · 02-01-2012

Yeah it would be detective if you could actually had time for such 'fun'. Trust me... being an admin is not really fun. It's hard work, hence so many people retire or abuse sooner or later. :>
And tracing a hacker / glitcher is way harder but I must not go into details here... Yeah I love my name.

so your idea to fix it...is to abuse your powers and give outrageous ban times? if its anything like classic then ban times are more than long enough, people got 2000 hours for having apptrailers in there status or 5000 for "staff harrassment"

you dont need more people with the ability to ban and such, you need more faqs that do all the question and helping, staff boots, access to the reports and logs and the basic teleportation and such, they wont need anything to punish other than the gag tool, they can deal with the questions, the gps can focus on dealing with the FAIR punishing. none of that **** that homelessbitch does.
