I got kicked from a server. Give me your opinion.

I was just playing Malta on Suess' Soldiers I (the [RI] clan) on allies, using the Mosin Nagant. I was pretty much owning, something like 15-3 a couple minutes into the game. The teams were uneven, and I said to even them because there weren't enough people for me to shoot at. Sizemore (the admin) told me not to talk trash, and I apologized. He asked what gun I was using, and I told him. His response was something like "HAHAHA wallhack". I said that I hoped he wasn't serious, because I thought it was pretty funny that he thought I was hacking. Then he proceeded to tell me that I had lightmaps and fog off and farplane toggled on. I told him that my computer isn't the greatest. He told me I had an unfair advantage over other players. Then he kicked me.

After this, I went to look at my video and advanced options. The only thing I'm not using was volumetric smoke. All the lighting effects were enabled.

Which brings me to my questions:
What the hell was he talking about if all that stuff except volumetric smoke was enabled?
Why the hell did he kick me? We were all having an enjoyable match, and he goes and kicks me for a complete BS reason (I certainly can't be the only one with that config.)

I understand that he's the admin, so he can kick people, but he should have a good reason, which that certainly wasn't.

i've noticed lots of times server admins will kick people and make up excuses when they start to get their ass kicked in front of the men. what happens when you have such an immature community.

Public server admins = the guys in high school that got beat up all the time for lunch money. They just tend to show off their power alot, and in a game like MOH that's chalked with hacks, they have a reason to.

So true Joe...Considering all the hacks strolling in and out of servers anymore, just deal with it and move on.

Definitely, except I wasn't hacking.

Yes it is Simo, yes it is.

BUTCHER · **SERVER ADMIN -** 01-15-2003, 11:41 PM

im a server admin and ill be first to say an admin has the right to kick anyone they want. on the other hand its damn imature to kick a player just because hes a good player. my advice to you would be to find a server you like and become a regular. the regulars on my server enjoy being on the high ping imune list. i have my auto kick set at 200. if the pings spike up they dont get kicked. someone says their cheating. i know better. theres a lot to be said for being a regular on a server as oposed to just just dropping in to many servers where your not known.when i first started playing the game i saw a lot of things goin on in servers i didnt like. bad language ..respawn killing..unloading a full clip into a guy only to get killed with one shot from the same guy. i created my own server and made it the way i wanted to be. drop by some time. the server name and ip are listed by my location.

The admin is obviously an idiot, anyone knows that wallhacks don't make you aim better than your natural skill hake:

admin= oOo:

Butcher, if my ping for your server is low enough to begin with, I'll be sure to stop by. Thanks for the invite.

So you do turn off shadows and fog? I've got my own opinion here, and that is turning off fog and shadows is cheating in the sense that you can see further and clearer giving you an unfair advantage. No it isn't a wallhack which makes the admin look stupid in that sense, but he does have a good excuse to kick you.

You still can see futher and clearer with this "cheat" on. Lets say we play that train map in spearhead and The Bridge in MOHAA. If you could see me in that extremely(pitch black) corne of the train map, would you shoot me? Of course, even if I didn't make a sound. Is it unfair? Certainly. If I were in the northern house on the bridge and you could see me from the other side of the map and shot me in the head, isn't that unfair when I have shadown and fog enabled? If your computer is lacking the power to run MOHAA then perhaps you should upgrade your PC or don't play at all, and not justify that turning off both is not not cheating. I got a fairly crap computer, but I've managed to run it at a very high resolution and I don't need to turn off fog and shadows. Hell, why don't we all start playing on slow computers so we can turn off the sun glare, bushes, fag, shadows and trees too!

Flame away

You didn't read my post well enough. If you did, you would've noticed that I did in fact have those options enabled, and the admin was BSing me.

Regardless, say my framerate was something really choppy and unplayable like 20 fps at most (which it isn't). You're telling me that I'd be cheating by turning things off to increase my framerate to playable levels? That's rediculous. The whole concept of using in-game configurations as "cheats" is just simply ludicrous.

I've been playing this game long enough to make out (and shoot) faint figures through the fog anyway.

i think the admin was onabout you messing with you newconfig.cfg file but i still think it's a bit on the zelous side to just boot you there are plent of progs out there now taht will show if you have done this and altering the in game options makes no difference to what the admin was accusing you of.

like joe said he was robobly bulled quite bad at school that day and want to lash out to show he was a "big" man.

just ignor it if you are uk based drop in on us where nice and friendly.

-=[BAD]=- clan mohaa server and -=[BAD]=- clan.... 2 of them in the uk and 1 spearhead in the us.

Dr. Deleto · 01-16-2003, 04:45 AM

here it is , plain and simplew. if the admin was just taking a guess about you having that stuff disabled, then it was gay to kick you. but! if he used dumpuser and saw it disabled, then he had every right to do it. judging by your accurate and detailed account of exactly what he was accusing you of, then either you have a VERY good memory, or you DO have fog disabled. either way this is going nowhere as noone knows or will know the REAL truth or the whole story behind this except you and him.
