What are the Admin guidelines for your servers?

The primary goal of paying hundreds of dollars each month to rent game servers is to create a place where players can enjoy their gaming experience. Having server administrators insures that BOOM! Gaming can help facilitate an environment that is fair and fun for all players. BOOM! Gaming wants their servers to stand out, and as a result we must hold ourselves accountable.

We must operate in a way that syncs our behavior towards the foundational purpose of having the servers in the first place. Server Administrators, regardless or rank, are expected to conduct themselves professionally and model the server code of conduct at all times. The Server's rule apply to both Players and Admins alike!
Server Administrators are expected to adhere to the following guidelines:


1. Server Administrators shall be friendly and courteous to ALL server guests. Rogue Admins will empty a server of the players and we will not stand for this behavior!

2. Admins should work together to maintain a fun environment and not create confusion by running commands that contradict one-another.

3. If a Server Administrator is asked to free a spot for another member, the Administrator must warn the players in the server first. This will be done by typing "***Kicking for BOOM! Member****" three times. At no time shall a BOOM! member be kicked to free a slot. Server regulars may only be kicked by Senior Admins and then only if they are known to be AFK.

4. The map may only be changed off its current cycle in order to populate the server. However, maps may also be changed by Rock the Vote (RTV) (if enabled). The vote results stand, so Admins are not to start another vote if the vote doesn't go their way! Admins are not to change the map without a vote first and should never change it when there are people in the server playing! Let the server's map cycle run its course! If the map is a 24/7 Map server such as our Crackhouse server, the map is not to be changed at all.

5. Players who are AFK for a significant number of rounds will automatically be moved to "Spectator mode" by the Admin Plug-in to ensure teams remain even and games keep moving. Non-regular players who are in spectator mode for a significant number of rounds or a map cycle may be kicked in order to free slots for other players when the server is totally full.

6. "Fun" player management tools like slap burn, etc. should never be used by Admins on players or themselves unless they are alone in the server or playing with other Admins and they agree it's ok. The only commands Admins should be using during regular game play for player infractions are: Move to Spectator - Kick - Ban.

7. Restricting weapons of any type is not allowed unless done by a Senior Admin after a vote has been done requesting to do so. The vote stands and NO means NO! If restrictions are granted, the restricted item must be returned before the Admin leaves the server or at the end of the map cycle.

What enforcement is taken for rule violations by Admins?


Server Administrators that violate the above guidelines will be subject to the following consequence:

First: Fourteen-day suspension of administration privileges.

Second: Admin privileges permanently suspended.

Depending on the situation, A permanent suspension may occur immediately based upon the violation that takes place.
