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.

Geez guys is there an epidemic of attention deficit disorder going around? This is not about sgtfazz! Of course he should NOT be banned. No one is asking for that. Stuff happens. Once again, for effect...NOT ABOUT sgtfazzz.

This is about a 100 point MOB member smurfing and not taking up the admin responsibilities, period. Sorry Rommel, but you were the only 100 pointer on at the time. 6 Pak came in after the incident with sgtfazz was long over.

Thanks, Mike, for whatever you did to avoid this in the future. Way to much maintenance to solve a simple problem. Simple solution boys and girls and I'm sure all will agree...



Pay attention to the game if you have admin powers. We all want to play and have fun but let's not get so involved in the game that we forget to maintain that high level of fun for everyone.

Nuff said!

Again, this will no longer be a problem. I've taken all MOB members down to 99 points but kept all kick, ban, etc. powers. The only difference will be that Regs can kick/vote kick someone even a MOB member is in the game.

There is no rule that says MOB members (or Regs) cannot smurf and there may even be times that it is necessary to catch inappropriate behavior. However, my personal feeling is that they should be worn proudly all the time.
