Here is my view on being an admin, its a lot harder then most people think.
Sure I have made my mistakes and kicked people that should not have been. But like was mentioned, I'm trying to play a game and have fun, while watch the chat thats going on to make sure no one is doing anything wrong. Sometimes I miss things, most of the time I don't.
Sometimes I see things that even the player that said them didn't see, right Jabba? :D
Its also hard to be friends with people and yet know that if they step out of line I have to do something about it.
I don't like gagging, kicking or banning people but I do it. When I am on the holdouts vadavaka servers I am an admin first then a player. I have lost many games because I am doing what I have been asked to do.
I also don't why people get all upset over being gagged or kicked. If you get gagged, its only a temp thing. With in a few minutes you will eventually be ungagged. Its is a punishment, but its like a go stand in the corner for a few minutes kind of thing.
Getting kicked is something to really open ones eyes. It is like a slap on the hand to tell the person what they did was wrong. You got slapped but you can join back into the game.
Banning is being grounded.
We have also had players that come on and have had bad days and take it out on everyone there including the admins by blaming them that they are abusing their powers. I have seen this with new people and I have seen it with regulars.
Basically if everyone followed the rules then you woudn't even notice the admins and everyone would have lots of fun playing.
Also like was mentioned we all have out own styles for adminning, I normally give warnings first. I don't take kindly to people calling me names thou.
