… that ban votes are disabled.

The result is that teamkillers, cheaters, bigots, and laggers can return over and over after being kicked. I almost never see admins on to deal with these things.

Exodus servers provide excellent performance but they are THE servers to go to if you want to screw with people, because everyone goes there and troublemakers can't be removed for the duration of a game.

I think they've been disable maybe because it has been abused in the past, plus as Exodus is a community, Staff here have to be very vigilant and careful how they go about such Bans.

I as a regular member of Exodus and IRC would be more than happy to watch over the Assault Cube server via IRC and help rid these so called players, but unfortunately I am only a normal member at Exodus.

I do how ever from time to time check the AC server via IRC every time i'm on IRC which is more than 3 times a week and if I see a problem I will contact a AC Mod or Admin but sometimes they can be AFK, but what I don't see is enough activity from Exodus mods or admins in AC IRC as much as other servers, forgive me if I'm wrong.

I'm sure your thread will be read and resolved very soon, thank you for your patience.

Hi and thanks for posting :)

Yeah I know that's a problem, but having voteban enabled will be even worse.
I remember when the 1.1 servers had a bug which had it enabled no matter what your config was, and there were people that votebanned everyone out of the server, emptying them up.

We have rules against most of the abuses you mentioned, but maybe we have different ideas about them. Like for example teamkilling.
That's only a bannable offense if it's made on purpose, and not because the player has a bad aim, while I often (too often I might add) people which tries to voteban (I can see that from IRC) people for just 1 single TK. We might aswell disable friendly fire then, but I think friendly casualties are a nice thing on AC that adds a bit of randomness to the matches.

Of course cheaters NEEDS to be banned, but it's hard sometimes to see them from IRC (where I am most of the time, along with other admins), so please say it or vote-kick for cheating, that will catch our attention.

I'll also try to add something to our IRC bot to catch laggers from there too in the future.

I hope the situation will get some better soon.

Thanks. I have rarely noticed abuse of the ban vote in general but it's your choice, of course. If kicking notifies you then I can just do that. :)

Yeah that or call our names, if you know our names that is. I can write a script to notify me on the "cheater" word from either of the AC channels, I'll make it as soon as I can.

I didn't notice you was interested in AC, if you know the game then you can sure be of help :)

I've made that script, it reacts on both words "cheater" and "hacker" from either of our AC IRC channels.

lol don't worry, if you'll like it ok, otherwise no problem. It's just a very small game, good even to waste some time while waiting for biscuits to bake, since maps are pretty quick (about 10 minutes).
