[IMPORTANT] - Administrative Code Of Conduct!

Administrative code of conduct!


First of all, On behalf of the [RgX] community we would like to congratulate you on receiving the rank of Administrator.
At this point we would like to point out that receiving the level of Administrator within our servers is something to be proud of, to put it in context, thousands of players pass through our servers doors every months, and out of every single one of these, you have been chosen to represent our community.

Now, You may ask: "Why do I have to read this topic?" - Well, Reading this and all linked topics will set you up to become successful Administrator. Over the years we have had many administrators on our servers, we have had administrators who are brilliant, reliable and fun.. Yet we had our fair share of administrators that are Rude, Rule breakers and unpleasant.. What this topic is for is to eradicate the latter. In this topic we will discuss /warn, /kick, /ban and various other procedures that need to be complied with. We will also talk about the Administrative Rules and why they are so important to follow, and any repercussions that could incur if the rules are not followed.

RULES:

First of all, the rules... - At the bottom of this section I will leave a link which will re-direct you to the rules, You are to read each and every rule. These rules have not been set to make anyone's life harder, they have been set to protect the administrators (YOU) from trouble, therefore any breaking of these rules can result in disciplinary actions, such as instant demotion, or banning in more extreme cases. (Every level administrator, from 3-6, has to follow these rules).Procedures:

Secondly, Procedures... - This section may be long, but it is vital for your success as an Administrator, So please no skipping this section!

/Ban procedures

Lately we have been getting dozens of reports of wrongful bans, this is unacceptable. Therefore I cannot stress enough, before you ban a player you NEED TO BE 100% SURE they have committed an offence suitable for a ban, such as using hacks.

Money hacks - /richlist (Check for any suspicious amounts) - /getinfo <ID> (check the money, time spent on server) - /setcash <ID> 50000 - /richlist (every 10-20 seconds for the first 2 minutes) - If the cash goes back up, then you may have caught yourself a money hackers. TIP: Money hackers will generally use other hacks, so its wise to check for other hacks aswell.

Health hacks - /lspec <ID> - /Burn <ID> (several times consecutively) - If there life fails to fall, or regains when its close empty, you have yourself a health hackers. IMPORTANT: The medic class - (Deep Pink), has a cmd to heal themselves, completely within the game rules. - Additional Information: Health hackers will often be reported through /report or chat so keep an eye out.

Airbreak - /lspec <ID> - Airbreak is pretty simple to see, If they are moving in a straight vertical (upwards) line, or flying across the map in an unnatural manner.

Speedhack - /lspec <ID> - Simple, Spectate them and watch there speed, some hackers are clever and only rarely use it, so you may have to spectate them for a while.

Minigun - /miniguns - /lspec <ID> - /disarm <ID> - /Weaps <ID> (several times) - (ONLY BAN IF THEY RESPAWN A MINIGUN) Miniguns are shown in a White warning message in the chat box. Beware when typing /miniguns because it shows the /dm zones.

Heatseek - /heatseek - /lspec <ID> - /disarm <ID> - /Weaps <ID> (several times) - (ONLY BAN IF THEY RESPAWN A Heatseek) Heatseek are shown in a White warning message in the chat box. Beware when typing /heatseek because it shows the /dm zones.

Impersonating - /aka <ID> (Check to see if they have any linked accounts) - /getinfo <ID> (check to see if they have logged in) - Continue to ban, However its at your discretion, some Administrator choose the give impersonators one more chance.

Family or Racial abuse - If you see a player engaging in Family or Racial abuse and refuses to stop after being warned, then you may ban them as a last resort. We do not stand for any hatred in our servers. This section also covers Religion and Politics, these two are not to be mentioned in the server. Anyone caught could be demoted

Ban Evader - Report ban evader to higher administrators (Level 5), actions will then be taken against them.

/Heatseek and /Minigun crash hack - This hack is a relatively new hack which will crash all the admins game, so here is how to combat it.
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

/Warn Procedures

For new admins, /Warn is what it says on the tin.. Its warns a player if they have broken any rules, a user is granted 3 warns, if they are warned 3 times they will be automatically kicked from the server. Warning a player can be used in many circumstances, such as:
- Bad Language
- Insulting
- Shooting at the bank
- Spam - Only if they have spammed 10 lines of the same thing.. (only if they are not kicked automatically by the server)
- Spawnkilling

/Jail Procedures

/Jail is used to punish players for commited minor offensive.. jail may be used as an alternative punishment to /warn.
- You may use /jail to jail players for shooting at bank, this carries a maximum sentence of 2 minutes.. When Jailing a player, please use respectable times.

How /warn is used - /warn <ID> <Reason>
Remember to give a reason for the warning in full English (or the players native language)


/kick procedures

/kick is a command that is not used that much, however it is a command that is used mainly for more serious offences. Although it is not used that often it can be used on player for offences such as:
- Bad name
- Severe language after warnings
- If the player is bugged

How /kick is used - /kick <ID> <Reason>
Remember to give a reason for the kick in full English (or the players native language)

The Do’s and Dont's of being an Administrator

So as an Administrator you have been picked because you are Mature, Friendly, Knowledgeable and active. At the [Rgx]community we try to pride our selves on having administrators that are just that, we like to trust our admins, we believe that we would be able to leave an Administrator in a server of 100 people on there own and they would get the job done, no matter how hard the job is, this is where some of our administrators stand out from the others, these are the administrators that will climb the ranks faster.
Acting professionally towards the players is a vital part of the job, the players need to be able to trust the administrators. Therefore, any childish behaviour, or unfair behaviour could result in restriction on your administrative level, such as a cap on how high you will be promoted until we feel you have improved, or even a demotion.
This is a big point - Lately, I have been seeing administrators using there powers to gain an upper hand on the players.. THIS IS NOT ALLOWED.
- Using jetpacks to shoot at players! NOT ALLOWED
- Using /vr when fighting in a car! NOT ALLOWED
- Teleporting to player to kill them! NOT ALLOWED - MAY RESULT IN INSTANT DEMOTION
