Smurfing MOB with admin powers, what's the point? Options

I witnessed ssgtfazz2111 exploiting the R3 minefield by driving a jeep numerous times into the minefield successfully but killing himself on the way out. Several Russian players were watching him. I saw no MOB on at the time so I warned him 3 times to no avail. I gave him a final warning before I went to kick. To my surprise the kick did not take. I checked pb_power and lo and behold there was someone with 100 points. It was " ". The happy face smurfer. I typed in several times asking for admin help. No response.

What's the point of having an admin in the game that chooses to be anonymous? I can't admin if someone else has more points and yet I got to enjoy only a couple of minutes of gameplay because I spent the rest of the time taking screenshots and trying to communicate with a REAL admin.

I don't mind taking on admin responsibilities (I figure it's a part of being in MOB), but this time my efforts were completely wasted and so was my game time.

Now that's what I call fun, folks.

I agree with Nothing that a non-MOB kicking someone doesn't look right - not to mention that we might have to explain why apparent non-MOB folks have admin rights. It seems inappropriate to me. So, I'd suggest either...

1- our Admins carry MOB tags consistantly, or

2 - if its to "anonmously patrol the servers", then we should include that in our FAQ and automated server messages to get the "best bang for our buck" (prevent crime rather than just respond to it).
