Ban Request / [ZM] CoolGuy420 griefing
« on: March 12, 2014, 09:29:46 PM »
Your name in-game: Futeko

Offender's name in-game: [BlAzE_iT] Coolguy420 [BlAzE_iT

Date/Time of the offence: 12/03/2014 - around 11:45 PM CET

SteamID: STEAM_0:1:18504641

Server: Zombie Master (ZM)

Any administrators on the server?: None

What was the problem/offense?: Griefing in general, namely:
- Using props to kill allies ("rubbing" explosive props together to make them explode and hurt allies)
- Blocking objectives/passageways so that no further progress can be made on the map

Proof:
I have recorded two Demo files displaying the second offence:
- CoolGuyGriefing.dem: in the map zm_crocodile_remake, he was blocking the access to the lever in the room. Survivors need to activate that lever in order to progress further on the map. He stuck there until everyone gave up and rocked the vote for a new map. The demo is recorded from the perspective of a survivor (I was trying to reach the lever, to no avail).
- CoolGuyGrief2.dem: after that, the map changed to zm_random. First round, he ran forward and blocked the passageway, preventing further progress in the map. Again, he stuck there until someone managed to slip past him, then he killed himself. It made everyone rock the vote once more. The demo is recorded from the ZM's perspective (I was ZM on the first round).

Other comments:
The map then changed to zm_asylum, where he switched to using explosive barrels to TK other survivors (e.g. holding a barrel in front of a zombie, so that the zombie would hit the barrel, make it explode and hurt all survivors in the vicinity). Most people got fed up with his trolling by that time and left the server, so it soon turned empty afterwards.
I'd also like to add that this server is basically the only ZM server still alive (thanks for it!), so if someone starts griefing on it, there's nothing we can do beside exiting the game and doing something else. It's rare enough to have a full server, so it's a real pain when someone like that guy shows up and ruin the game for the evening.

Thanks in advance for considering this request!

Zombie Master / Re: admin application

Whatever the solution, I support getting some sort of weapon to fight griefers up and available on the ZM server - it's becoming harder and harder to spend an evening on the game without encountering some kid thinking it's funny to prevent map completion by blocking doorways or hiding objective items. ZM is all about coop, which means it's also very easy to ruin the game if so you want.

At the very least, it would be very nice to have some sort of votekick/voteban option, which would at least ban the target for half an hour or so (just kicking means the griefer would be back next round - on ZM I've seen plenty of them not getting discouraged by a simple kick/slay).
The other advantage of votekick/voteban is that it would allow people to deal with griefers themselves - there are already not many people playing ZM, so it'd be hard to have an admin available all the time.

Otherwise, it'd be nice to have some IRC channel or the like to be able to call an admin in in case there's a griefer currently active on the server.

In any case, I'll now start gathering Demo files of griefers, as I've just discovered this handy topic [ http://www.conjointgaming.com/forum/index.php?topic=9970.0 ]. It won't help as an "immediate reaction tool", but at least we can hope to prevent those griefers from joining the server later on.

Thanks in advance for the help!
