Title: Applied for administrator work?
Post by: Bilbo on November 28, 2009, 06:30:18 pm
Would just want to tell for those who applied for administrator work, that it truly is work. :D
Plus, these exclude the report spam we will usually have as this was on a quiet morning. :)

Yeah, being an admin isn't cool as most of you think it is...

That how our chat used to look like. I was actually happy with it. True Martu, being an admin is not just as cool as most of you think it is, or just a rank you have on a server.

That is very easy to say...
It's a hard moral strike... You cannot roleplay, you cannot do even admins work properly... After such a flood you get "Stop fucking ignore me"...

You understand that player thinks he is the one who types to you, that is not the rules break... So all you have to do - to be patient... Or just leaving the server cos you are already pissed off...

You can learn to live with it... But usually you just drop it...

David is right, dev msgs bring extra text, all the tool bring more.. People think we ignore then, but most of time chat just wised by so fast we didnt even notice pm.. thats why i stand at one place staring into floor or sky :) It gives nice contrast to text and lets me focus on it.

He probably meant second :D...

Since I don't do as much as I used to I'd find it fun (although hard) to take on this challenge. I'm sure that those choosing the new moderators and or admins are having HIGH expectations but I just hope they will give everyone at LEAST 1 chance. I mean sure, some people who applied if they went on attitudes would NEVER make it in, but with responsibility comes great wisdom, most likely bringing out the best in these people. but of course it would be a gamble, for the time of course, even if it does turn bad, at least they would know that this person is not suitable, and could not complain 'hey i got no chance!' or something of the sort.

Post by: Andy on November 29, 2009, 01:45:55 am
My chat used to get flooded when I used to be admin. People used to PM me for AVDS, Reports, hacks, etc. Which made me feel proud for helping others  ;)

That's what we do, that's why it takes long sometimes for us to respond

Yeah, but besides, they're only 2 people, it's not that hard to keep on... When more people come it gets harder and harder, though. :razz:

I developed the cool ability to RP while doing admin work which involved responding to reports and PMs.

Yup, being a admin is hard work.. I love working my *ss off so i applied ^^

Having the job of a teacher and then being made to leave due to the Army, commanding a few hundred people, compared to this. This is nothing to what I have to deal with when I'm called out to a military base and having to do lots of training help, moving people around, handling applications.. I'm used to lots of work. I applied, yes. I am sure I can handle it.

Yep it's hard job, but I enjoy it somehow  :)
Title: Re: Applied for administrator work?
Post by: JDC on November 29, 2009, 11:14:29 am
I enjoyed it, even though it was a hard job. Worth all the moaning, shits, and accusations you get, those are one of the true tests of Admin work. :D
Title: Re: Applied for administrator work?
Post by: Fabio on November 29, 2009, 11:47:17 am
I hope this shows a valuable lesson to those who complain that admins do nothing when they report, being a admin is a very tough job as you can see from those screenshots.
Title: Re: Applied for administrator work?
Post by: Gandalf on November 29, 2009, 11:57:08 am
Well perhaps next time whe you say the chat is spamming think about this one :

If I am on as cop I get:
- Public chat
- Local chat
- Cop radio
- Admin chat
- Developer message  (can include things like CB radio)
- PM

Chat can be moving a 10 lines a second for me.

When I go on a non-admin account I actually think the game is frozen.... :roll:
Title: Re: Applied for administrator work?
Post by: TheRock on November 29, 2009, 01:23:56 pm
Haha Ronnel :)

That's why the main admins / owners are not on for a lot time like the other admins I guess :P besides in-real reasons.. that must be really hard to keep an eye on... 10 lines a sec :S
Title: Re: Applied for administrator work?
Post by: Xander on November 29, 2009, 07:37:52 pm
Yea it gets crazy. I have never been an admin on SA:MP, BUT i have been a owner of a chain of 10-15 Servers with my 27 yr old friend from Pheonix University. That was very rough, i will never do that many servers again. We pretty much Ran the actual game. StarSeige Tribes, 1,2 and Torque. It was rough due to all the Mods, CTF, RPG, Dueling Arena etc. Had to remember every command. Also had to Script New Weapons into the Reality Mod we had. We had some funny Scenario's of the time :) . So all in all, if your a Major Rp'er and constantly RP, dont go for Admin just to be 'the man' it will get you no where, trust me. Have Fun, Good Luck.

ps. If you want a laugh i can get some of them Scenario's. I can gurantee if your having a very bad day It will fix it. I laugh every time i just think of it  :roll: .

We have our busy days and we have our slow days sometimes i can't even read public chat since am being sent tons of pms about stuff (mostly new ppl asking for help and ppl wanting tp's plus namechanges) then when the reports come flooding in... jesus.  It why i usually do /pagesize 20 but even at that i can get up to 10 reports on my screen aswell as other admin stuff.

Good when it's quiet as you can do some Roleplay or just hang around with new people. (you get some laughs :D)

i remember back in my admin days..

BANG no scripts....

All Admins killed them self...

became cops
and started Roleplaying cops(admins) to stop rule breakers

then once the scripts returned
The Scripts have been reset please Die. thank you for your co operation

in sa-mp... i got nearly that amount of PMs but there was more /reports, cash unbalences, speed hacks. so much it was like HEKKERS!!!
Title: Re: Applied for administrator work?
Post by: Bilbo on November 30, 2009, 06:35:43 am
It still is like that, Watti. :D Only thing was that the screens were from a quiet morning/day with only 20-30 players. :>

And then it's not only the spam you could be able to handle ^^.
For example: are you able to ignore provoking and don't get angry etc :)

Admin work is not just 'Spamming' or avoiding spam. It is something your responsible for. What I mean by that, you must be ABLE to Answer newbie or regular questions. Help newbies, have a visual on how the admin team co-operate, Respect others. Once again, Admin is not just a RANK but a job you have to do. Not just going rombo with admin commands, but doing the job correctly.

Through the commitment and traits of people, we are all capable of nurturing others. This cultural aspect of only being able to help others as a low level administrator is imprudent in my view. We are all capable of achieving the value of self satisfaction by helping others in unconventional ways. These methods are in use by a select minority of keen community helpers, which is being successfully driven to date. Perhaps we should retract ourselves from this administrator stigma, and open our eyes to what can be achieved through honest and open player participation.
