How to report disruptive behaviour on our servers and make your and our admin's life better.

[zissou]

It's the summer holidays so as well as forest fires we also have lots of idiots on our servers and because we have a limited number of admins we need your help in making ahoyworld a pleasant experience for everyone.

So picture this:
Player A is a regular player but doesn't use teamspeak (TS)
Player B is also a regular player and is on TS
Player C well he's just a troublemaker!

So player C teamkills several players over a few minutes.

Player A notices this and doesn't like what he sees so he asks in side chat:
"Any Admin on? Player C is tking!"

If an admin is on he will know immediately who to look for and what player c is up to.

If no admin is on Player B who's on TS can poke an admin and let him know. But it's vital that you pass on the correct information. Something like "tker on eu1" or "you need to ban player c" leaves us with very little info to go on and requires a bit of investigation. Whereas something like "Player C is tking on EU1" lets us know who is doing what.

Sometimes an admin will do the admin magic remotely and may ask for confirmation in side chat. It's up to you the player base to help us admin so if you say that Player C was tking and you see an admin asking for confirmation, help them out and just type confirm in side chat.

Check the map to see if he's in a vehicle it may be the gunner who's doing the tking and the driver being reported so let us know before we kick the wrong person.

Important Notes:
Don't TK in self defense or retaliation, ever! I have in the past kicked the person who was, in fact, the reporter of the tk. He had tk'd the tker just after I joined the game and as i only had limited information i just kicked the first person i saw tking.

Please don't tell us to ban someone, tell us who is doing what so we can investigate it properly, it's quite distracting when we someone saying 'ban him' in side chat when we're still trying to figure out what's happening.
