Rude leeches who don't play

Post by Fuzz_Ball » Wed Dec 30, 2009 3:06 pm

... and just insult the players.

What's the deal?
I'm seeing more of these lately.
Is this a trend or just ONE angry, sore loser?
Don't they realize that since the server is called Fuzz_Ball's Funhouse, that maybe the server admin's name might actually BE Fuzz_Ball? And he's playing at that moment?

Well, as a result, I've disabled Spectator mode and my ban list grows.
Oh and I add their IPs.

I don't mind foul language; I'm the worst at it. Just DO NOT direct it AT anyone and I'm ok with that. Well, kind of. Sort of.

That's a wise choice Fuzz.

Maybe you don't know, but a dude named Nej@t has found an exploit in the Nexgen console, with which he could force a server crash, but it requires spectator slots to work. AFAIK only Bob's NexgenMH console is not affected by this vulnerability.

It sounds like you're getting a lot youngsters. Monster Hunt attracts teenagers and preteens in droves. And the easier it is to stay alive in the server, the more of them you tend to get. They're just doing what youngsters that age do. They aren't going to change their behavior until they grow out of it. But by then they've been replaced by the next batch. So you're always going to see that kind of behavior.

If you can figure out a way to attract an older crowd of players, go for it. Less ammo and health is a good start. Removing the maps the youngsters usually play in works too.
Then everyone ignores the youngster's boisterousness, and just play as adults. The youngsters will get bored and leave eventually. Or they'll learn the etiquette they need to play on your server, and generally behave themselves. It takes some time, but it can be sorted out. :)

Sounds like what is happening on MHM too. I'm going to wait it out!

Yes, you tend not to see them on MHM because they die too easily.

Sound like a job for gopostal.

Same mod. It's called the JenniferTilly.u Brings in the adult gamers, and if you've seen Bound you know she'll wipe the floor with the punks.
