Hi folks, I made a now rare appearance in Barb yesterday evening [5pm EST] where a good game was going with about 20 players [jibbletits, and a couple of REGS and regulars were there as witnesses]. Had about 3 idiots on Rusky [my] team screwing around in spawn in vehicles, after several fair warnings I kicked one... the next guy I was warning actually tk'd me twice during the process... [fatality was his name??] He got banned much to the approval of teammates. He had another chum [sexy -something] who was mildly involved in the farting around, pleading after for his banned chum who wanted back in. Needless to say harsh 'no' was reply. Just for the record if banned-dude's chum makes an appearance in forums pleading for his friend who "likes playing on this server alot" I hope the response will be 'take a hike".
Please post some of the dialogue during that event yesterday if you have time Druid so that we know who are the culprits... I've been working alot lately so my brain was a bit fried to recall those idiots exactly by name for this post

A bunch of guys came in the day before and changed their names to "Mexican #1" and "Mexican #2" and so forth. They kept loading up the turnip truck and making suicide runs for G2. Kinda funny in a way, though their teammates were getting frustrated at the intentionally stupid tactic. Though, to be fair, they did get to 2 a couple times and did some damage. But mostly they were obviously goofing around. Annnnyway, the point is I know several were of this "dead-sexy" clan or whatever it is. So, I'm sure it was the same guys you were dealing with. Some are actually good, but I guess they're getting their kicks the last couple days messing around (I assume they are on their own team-chat). It'd be nice to get them to stop fucking around and play regular, because it is good to have players on Barb.

I guess keep your eyes open, warn them we don't tolerate TKing and stuff, and hope they don't try and put the screws to us over banning their "buddy". Otherwise, a lot of banning might be upcoming.

Yes thanx MoD, those were the dimwits.... but the guy I banned had no tags, however definately was 'dead sexy angel's [?] buddy. And note he did tk me twice while I tried to warn them decently in that turmoil so they have nothing to whine about.

BAN! theyv been warned for lang and what not a bunch in the last week from me.i noticed yesterday there were like 5 of them in barb.

But ban who? Hard to tell them apart with all the similar names. Dead+sexy+noun. Was it dead sexy potato or dead sexy sniper you had the most problems with!

I think HF got it right. Ban the TKer, and give us a heads-up and we'll keep an eye on the rest. And if there's a real problem with swearing, have to figure out specifically who it is.

I say Ban em all. Idiots of a feather and all that...

I spent some time reviewing all the logged comments by mexican #1 #2 #3, etc. By far, the worse offender was mexican #3. He has now been banned on all the UO servers. Since he is probably the ring leader and wanted the attention, it will be interesting to see if the rest of that clan shows up without him. Having the rest of the clan playing on our server without him may be more effective then banning all them. I'm sure mexican #3 will not like being the only one banned.

(of course we can ban them all if the UO folks see a continued problem with the group)

Well done. Ban the TKer, and give us a heads-up and we'll keep an eye on the rest

Actually I wanted a review of the dialogue to reflect the anger and frustration they were causing to teammates since the dummies seemed to be hardly saying much while causing so much turmoil in the incident I mentioned. but, I believe you got the whole picture anyways
Good job... thanks Mike

Thank you Mike!

Yes, thanks Mike. I like the idea of singling out the guy who is by far the worst offender, because it lets people know we may be tough, but we are fair. We don't just ban whole clans automatically because we can't be bothered to investigate and sort out the real troublemakers among them. I'd hate to try and go play on a server to find I had been banned based on the actions of another MOB clan member, and not myself.

History will repeat itself here. The remaining few will come in and cause even more frustration for all involved. Should ban them all while you have the info.

You have a point there. I.E. Laqueesha (sp?) anyone?

Old thread now, but in hindsight it appears with the ban of one, the rest didn't bother coming back. Seems like things worked out OK. Good job.
