God! I never thought that an admin send a crash word to a player. This, is extreamly unfare. Sam should deal with this guy. Such people really should not be promoted.

Wait, he sent a crash code? What the hell is wrong with these admins. They get worse and worse by the day. I think he should at least get a ban, considering sending crash codes is against the rules.txt file. 6. Crashwords or large chats that could harm screenreaders and/or sinthisisers is strictly prohibited.

Sam, if you don't ban stoner, I'm gonna lose a lot, of respect for you. Just saying.

Hi,
&202: looooooooool are you kidding me? I am sure he didn't send that

Fully, fully fully fully agreed with you post 202, redspot, is a. ***, *coughs* *cries* Well, enough. I will try to not play it anymore, well if i will get unbanned, that's fine, but if i'm not, well i'm not going for it. Well, i have my own game to entertain with. Hope we will release a public beta tomorrow. So guys, if you want replacement of redspot, you can wait. This is actually, not redspot. Something we hope you will like much!

This, folks, is why I deleted all of Sam's games from my computer. Not that I had these issues personally, but I'm tired of hearing about it that people are getting fucked over by these immature pukes who call themselves admins. Also, I like to just go in and blast at people, but everyone has 5K plus health and 100 or more shielded shots, and you just can't kill people unless you have a base, and all that shit too. It's not really all that fun to be frank. And all Sam wants to do is make weird analogies, and say how he deserves a life and a break and how his school grades dropped. No one here fucking said he should let his school grades drop, that's fucking ridiculous, education is hella important if you're gonna do anything in your life. No one here said he shouldn't have a life. Maybe private conversations, but why the hell should he be taking that out on us.

Sorry to say this, but I have no respect for Mr. Tupy as a developer. I will admit that he is a talented coder and a talented mixer and audio producer, but puts forth minimal effort to rein in his admins, fix bugs and deal with balance issues. Fact is, there are devs whom I have little to no respect for, and others to whom I am very respectful of. Anyway, one of two things will happen, he'll either get on here making weird excuses or weird analogies about shit that makes no sense, or he'll just completely ignore the topic.

To be fair, I am saying this as a player of audio games, not as a developer. I have no talent for coding, I also have little patience for idiots on the administrative side of things. So, there are aspects to this whole running online games thing that I just am not aware, just like there are aspects to practicing medicine that I'm not aware of since I'm not a doctor. I think he took on this responsibility a little too young, and its a lot of weight to carry around, and maybe he's feeling a little burnt out. If that's the case, I'd advise him to pass the torch onto someone else who would work on the project, and maintain it.

@Dr. Bilbo J. Skywalker wow that's an amazely boring passtime (all those tv shows anyway)
however this drama is Always fun to Watch - and it won't be the last one (neither is it the first regarding redspot as a matter of fact)
keep up the good job Sam - keep those shit admins around - keep having poor judgement even though I told you. I'm sure it'll earn you much love and respect 

@kianoosh aye, surely he did, seeing as post 211 was made by none other than the almighty kianoosh

what a surprise that kianoosh and kianoosh
Think alike!

regarding the whole Stoner thing, well he has Always treated me nicely even though god sometimes becomes an asshole I guess. However, it wouldn't surprise me that either of them (except for Hamada who's a good chap) would do such a thing if they Think they could get away with it by claimbing the other person just lies about it.
Does RS even have logs? If it doesn't Stoner and the other admins would know that it doesn't and hence can cheat the system as much as they like because it's just going to be Word for Word and guess who's Word people are going to Believe?

I've seen many unfair bans, mine was ... fucked up. The cheater got away but the Community police got punished. Nice jobs, assholes.
I still say implement enough  features to where there's no admin needed, then just reset the ban list and let everone on again.
If  you don't, soon you'll end up with a game that no one plays and that has reputation for being a piece of shit no matter how good the game actually is. RTU will have to split up and fight amongst themselves because there'll be no one else left except the occasional straggler.

Yet, despite all what's been said here, you know nothing is gonna change. Remember, Sam has stopped looking at this topic because... well... dogma. For those who don't know what means it's the act of ignoring arguments that could be or are most likely right, despite the fact that a very small majority believes in your argument while everyone else believes otherwise. But yeah, the reason I have stopped complaining here and will no longer be putting in my two scents is because apparently, some 15 year old and his group of less than admirable cronies know all the right answers and are doing everything right, and the rest of the community -- that includes me, you, your best online friend if you have one, your gaming buddies, your fellow forum members, all of them, are bottom feeders and mouth breathers who just wanna sit and wine and complain and never appreciate anything. Isn't that right, everyone? We the majority are wrong? Or is it just because we're blind? haha.

His admins are naturally gonna take up for him because they know the moment they do otherwise, they're gone. theyre in his tight inner circle of friends, they do anything that he doesn't agree with, he just casts them out and they're no longer admins, well they want to keep their positions, don't they, so that's the eddies and undercurrents here.

Well, since I forgot to do this in my previous post ... it's time for me to try and throw "only sam's friends become admins" out of the window. I'm first of all ceperating friends and friends. Physical friends, those you can go to by bus, train, taxi or even plain, and digital friends, those you talk to on skype teamtalk or any other conferenceing thing. Am I a physical friend of sam: i'm pritty sure not since there's a flight of oh ten hours or maybe more in between us, making it damn expensive to go for a beer. Am I a digital "friend" of Sam: not entirely sure, since we actually don't talk often. I'm pritty sure if i'd dig up my entire skype history, i'd be writing 20 messages while sam writes 4 or so... <smile> But, what then, makes people to be admins, and what does it cost a developer to entrust someone with such a title.
I'm going to take my example, since that's the easiest for me at least.
First, you have to play a game often enough to know the mechanics, to spot irregularities, and when things don't look good, find someone you can notify. Regularly playing doesn't mean open it once a month, but at least a few hours a week or so, because only that way you can get aquainted enough with the ins and outs. Then, you have to be willing to spend a good deal of your time, plotting, thinking and putting up ideas to improve things. I've done all that, but that still doesn't mean I would be an admin instantly. If I'm not mistaken, my skype call with Sam was actually the first time I hurd him, go figure... What sets admins apart from other players is their attitude, and their knowledge on their shaulders that by their actions, a game could go soure instantly, even if it's as rock solid a game as there ever was. This means, that the developer takes a immensely huge risc every time he changes a player into an admin. So, would it be too hard to understand, that Sam would want to at least sort of basically know a person a little, before he gives them the ability to stear the game in his name. Is it really hard to understand that, even with so called friends, things can go rong? I'm guessing not. What I would, above all, ask of each and everyone of you reading this poast, is to consider for one minute and a half (the half minute you can use to drink some tea or what ever you want) to think about both sides of being an admin, and promoting an admin, and compare it with giving someone the keys of your house or your room and what you'd want that person you are giving your keys to to be like etc. Things aren't always as "slap bam, promote and done" as you all might think.

@222 I can only speak for myself though, in terms of promoting admins. Yes, it is important you and that person have history, you need to know what they are like and it's not like a background check can show how rude they are. But it's also a matter of judging character. I personally have spoken to these individuals, and I would not have suggested them as administrator material. But that adds to the reasons that Sam should really not be doing this: he has neither enough experience socially or in being in a leadership role to determine who should, quite literally, become the leaders of a community -- and one that you can't just slap cuffs on wrong doers. It doesn't matter how much math or code or computer you know, that's only half the battle. Somehow, I think Sam fails to realize that.
