The role of an FON Server Admin is a special one.
It falls to the Admin to ensure that our server provides an enjoyable gaming environment for our
members and the public. Players are to be treated on an equal and fair basis.
Avoid showing anger, retaliating with abuse, or rising to the taunts or actions of disruptive players.
Try to remain detached and professional at all times.
Be polite, social skills are an important part of being an effective Admin.
As an FON Server Admin, you must be familiar with our rules and abide by them as setting
a good example for players and new users is important.
The job Server Admin is a responsibility, and a position of privilege.
You are trusted by the players to look after their interests.
When addressing a player for disciplinary reasons, Admins are to use the “tsay”
(admin_tsay) command to get their attention. If the other players need to learn the same lesson,
then the Admin may continue to use tsay. Otherwise, after getting their attention, switch to
regular chat or private chat. When simply notifying players of something that doesn’t require
a response, also use tsay.
Remember, be polite. Even if a player is abusive, explain what will happen to them, write down
their WONID (in the console, type ‘status’ to get it) then slap, slay, gag or kick them as needed.
If the player persists, keep kicking them and notify an Officer to ban them (E-mail, Forums, etc.)
Admin Abuse
To give Admins a better idea of what constitutes Admin Abuse, here are some examples.
This is not a complete list.
Don’t force / threaten players to change teams just because you want a certain player
on a particular team or because you or another player wants to have a certain weapon (such as sniper.)
You may, however, force a team change if the teams are uneven and the players have been warned
at least 3 times.
NO ADMIN SHOULD EVER BREAK ANY OF THE SERVER RULES THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ENFORCING.
