20 minute bans Options

[The-Blind-Norwegian]

Here is an explanation of the command:

pb_rcon pb_sv_kick # %% "Why you kicked the person & YOUR NAME"
replace # with the slot number the player is in
replace %% with how many minutes you want to kick them.

Will this work without being a deputy (100 powerpoint guy), Hamma or Mike?

It's only set up for 100 pt. guys.

After some reflection, I thought this was the case. Soz we have it straight;

100 pointers can kick for any amount of time between 1 and 999 mins and ban.

30 pointers can kick - for twenty minutes per kick with no allowance for time adjustment and cannot ban.

15 pointers or those with less than 30 points have to "team up" to accumulate 30 points - twenty minutes per kick with no allowance for time adjustment and cannot ban.

Yes?

I believe all of our servers have the default 20 minute Punkbuster ban period. But, we aren't supposed to use the pb_kick command for just this reason.

To properly kick someone we should all be using the pb_rcon pb_sv_kick command. This enables us to specify your name and the reason you are kicking the person, and most importantly, the number of minutes you are kicking. This rule for MOB members to follow was established long ago to make tracking down the events surrounding the kick easier.

Here is an explanation of the command:

pb_rcon pb_sv_kick # %% "Why you kicked the person & YOUR NAME"
replace # with the slot number the player is in
replace %% with how many minutes you want to kick them.

6Pak made an honest mistake. We certainly have all done it, but this is the first time I've heard the bathroom excuse!!

Hamma,

Several points need to be made here:

1) The above information you copied is from the MOB Private section which the MOB Regs do not have access to. Posting this information is not only against MOB rules, it leads to lots of confusion about the commands since MOB has different capabilities than MOB Regs.

2) MOB Regs should use the commands pinned in the MOB Regs section. The default kick periods are fine. Also, it is not a 20 min ban. PBrcon bans are not temporary and remain in place until an unban is executed. You are confusing bans with kicks. In addition, all MOB server kick defaults are NOT 20 mins. The COD2 defaults are 5 mins. The kick times are appropriate for the length of the maps.

3) I think you are the one that should be apologizing to T/A6pak since she was following the correct process.

Hey Mike,

There clearly is an awful lot of confusion over PB kicks. I was addressing kicks, not bans, and not temporary bans. Furthermore, the information I copied was NOT the exclusive property of MOB. Google PB commands and you will find an awful lot of hits that address these specific commands, including that precise description.

6Pak is a 100 pointer and she should be using the command I referenced.

She was playing as a Reg and was following Reg procedures.

As you've called out to others so many times before - "it was an honest mistake". Admit that you can make mistakes too. I'm sure she would appreciate hearing an apology from you after your lecture forced one out of her.

I've tried to play on both sides using auto select and hate to play German, usally becase of fellow team players shoot at me, standing around, and players sitting in spec for long periods of time when the server is packed.

If you have to go to the washroom why not let us know so we dont temporary kick you for 20 min minumim.

6pak your doing a great job. I have never seen her abuse her powers only a min kick after warning and asking other about what they have seen.

Sorry if I offended anyone but,

6pak RULES!!!!

Are you saying people need to ask to go to the washroom?
Thats a pretty twitchy trigger finger!

If it going to take a long time, and they would like not to be kicked, it would not hurt to be a little consederate of the other player that are trying their best to win.

Mike, I make mistakes all the time!! I don't believe I have ever been accused of not making mistakes! LOL. I wish, but it just hasn't ever happened.

I can easily admit when I am wrong, because it happens so often, but I also get confused, and frankly your responses here have really confused me. Perhaps you could point me in the direction of my "lecture" to 6Pak. I never felt that anything I had posted on this public thread was derogatory to 6Pak. If she, or anyone, read them that way, I am truly sorry for that was never my intent.

My first posting was a reply to All Thumbs. I think we all can agree that going to the bathroom shouldn't result in a 20-minute ban. I was simply backing up what she had posted. Visitors shouldn't have to strap on a catheter in order to play on our servers. In fact, I think All Thumbs did the honorable thing. Most people simply stand AFK. In a tight match, that can greatly throw the balance to one team. Nothing worse than having an inactive player standing around your spawn. It always gives an unfair advantage to the other team.

My second post was made in answer to MoD's question and to help S@bot as he attempted to remember the details. And now, you come dancing in and accuse me of lecturing and of giving away closely held MOB secrets??? I never implied that 6Pak wasn't playing as a Reg, but was I wrong in my assumption that when 6Pak is on our severs she has 100 Power points???

Interesting characterization of the thread.

The nice thing about a forum is that the thread is there for everyone to read and form their own opinions.

You can have the last word since this topic is now closed. Any additional discussions of MOB policies or procedures should be done in the private forums.
