Title: RED name colours - important advice given.
Post by: Nexxt on April 06, 2010, 02:10:58 pm
Sorry, I could not find any topic about this and I thought it would be a good idea if someone cleared this up.
Due to server issues and script bugs, while going on cop duty you will receive a red name after a couple of seconds/minutes.
Don't worry, you are not an admin but you have just been got a bugged namecolor.

There are a couple of things, what are really unclear and get people in trouble (and therefor I am making this thread):
- you are ALLOWED to go on cop duty.
- you are obviously NOT allowed to pretend you are an administrator.

As have said ingame, punishments from the administration for impersonating will be a BAN.

As a lot of people who comes online for the first time are not aware of this, I am making this thread to hopefully reduce the amount of jokes from: "I am an admin"
Also congratulating other people (example: Curse who got told he was admin) is not really nice, some people really want to be an admin, they see the RED name and get excited while it's actually a bug.

I am sure the developers are busy working on this issue and I hope they can get it fixed soon enough.

Thanks for understanding and good luck playing with a different namecolor :)

Nexxt, not every cop has this problem.
And if you get this bug, if you re-duty it should be fixed right?

It won't work, you will get the red name again.

And for some odd reason I am the only person on the server that is not /duty bugged with red name. I was walking around with the blue name for about a hour.

That obviously, because you are able to remove the "red" with /aduty ;).
Try asking another administrator if it works the same.

I rejoined the server to see if I can recreate the bug, and I couldn't this time. I think Sammir's trying right now.
