Hey Everybody!
I was recently on the MOUT McKenna server, no admins present, and it seems that there are quite a few (and I do mean it) people who are abusing the server.
I wont name names, but one of them just refused to stop ignoring the server rules, and just kept on swearing and using foul language. Others seemed to use foul language for no good reason.
Trying to votekick these players did not help, as not enough votes were collected to kick them. This is quite an issue, unless there is an admin present, and I believe that more effort needs to go into keeping people like this out. I do not know that there is a solution to this, but if there is, I would greatly like to see it implimented into the server.
Thanks!

If you get a screenshot, we might be able to help. Otherwise, know this. Many of us have second accounts, some without PB power so there's no way for people to tell if it is our second account or not. That means, at times, we're on there without others realizing it. If I'm on there then, I will leave and comeback to kick people no problem.
However, that's about the best we can do. We can't monitor the server 24/7 so we just have to catch them when we can.

I know your heart was in the right place, but votekicks are not allowed on the server either(violation of Rule #8). I would hate to see you get kicked while just trying to do the right thing bro.

I agree 100% that people have been abusing the server, ive seen it happen, but can't do anything about it but ask them to obey the rules, wich they dont. Now i dont really know how to do SS yet because my print screen button does not seem to work. Also if i do get screenshots, how do i get them here?
Thanks,
PR-Timmy

To get screenshots where they need to go: 1. Use the in-game "shot" command (open the console, type "shot", and hit ENTER -- this gets the whole console in the screenshot). DON'T use "printscreen" or the F9 key -- the console command works best. 2. "Crop" the screenshots (they'll be in your \America's Army\Screenshots\ directory) so that just the console area shows. 3. Upload them at ImageShack. 4. Send me a PM with the "direct link URL" that ImageShack will give you. I'll take it from there and make sure that the miscreants receive their comeuppance. |

Where is the "Direct link URL" on Imageshack? When Imageshack "does its thing" there will be several URL's listed. Look for the one that says Direct Link. |

Well, thats where I end up stuck in between a rock and a hard place... Trying to kick these players could result in myself getting kicked, and yet If we didnt try to kick them, they would have kept swearing until an admin came on...
As far as having proof that they were being rude/swearing, etc., there is a nifty little tool that I use on my private server to log all chats, found at {EDIT: DOWNLOAD LINK DELETED ~ Peace} (ACI Chat Logger), it keeps a log of all chats and if they were said by an admin, a spectator, a player, etc. This could be really helpful...
I will take screenshots now on when this sort of thing happens.
Thanks!

The ACI ChatLogger is, of course, a violation of the AA EULA (and that's the absolute truth, according to a spokesman for the AA [Dev] team), and that's why you'll never find it or any others of ACI's slick-but-illegal server-mods (which also all violate the AA EULA -- again, absolute truth there) on a server that is running clean and legitimate (that part is just my opinion, but it's based on the absolute truths listed above).

Moondog over at [AO] just suggested for us to use it*, but I kindly let him know that it violates AA EULA -- thankfully I knew that when I got his message and didn't waste my time PMing Jeff about it only to get a firm Rainman-like "That's de-de-definitely illegal" from him.  Kiddin' Jeff. *Note: Reason that happened is because I was on their Bridge server last night and got SS's of a few guests cussing up a storm. So I reported them to Moondog and company and hopefully they got added to their MBL. |

Can somebody remind me on what part of the EULA says that stuff like the chat logger is not allowed...?
Thanks
