SA:MP Moderators Guide

It sometimes makes me wonder why most of the people have stress over a goddamn game, even if it's with interaction of other players.

Seriously, I've never had any problems during my times being GM on Wow Privates and being admin on CSS servers.

Lol, WoW (and even more the private that has less players), as well as CSS which are limited peak... are nothing compared to this

Try imagine how it is with being alone with 120 players, getting questions and requests in PM, Getting flooded with reports, spectating players and keeping an eye in mainchat after rulebreakers.. What you describe above is nothing..

I guess it depends how you handle it and where you place your priorities, but life would be made much easier if the regular players would behave, because most of the rulebreaking comes from them in my eyes rather then the new players.

Its a two way thing, players complain about things and then say why you taking things so seriously its a game, but if they behaved ingame and played the game for what it is while following the rules, there would be less load in admins, but also at the end of the day, admins have admin commands for a reason, admin work is meant to be tough at times.

Emotions play a big part in administration. Why do you think many administrators leave or become inactive after awhile? It's because of the constant stress placed on them by users such as you.

I never understood this. If someone can't take the "stress" of being an admin then why are they one?

Man that takes me back, fucking awesome when I was alone with 120 players. Best times as admin. I always looked forward to those times.

That stress builds over time. It's not something that happens all of a sudden.

[Exclusive.]

And how do you know that Nathan? You're talking here like you're an admin for years.

[Norrage]

To say it Exclusive, He is right, its not always, but there are periods ( and i know it because i was SA:MP Admin too )

[Nathan]

And how do you know that Nathan? You're talking here like you're an admin for years.

Based on interviews with administrators and my personal experience of being a server and forum leader for another community. The stress always builds no matter the community.

[Pandalink]

It really doesn't, or at least.. shouldn't.

[Caltson]

I agree, it's awesome to be alone with a 120 player populated server, however i think the point is about you cannot in any way take care of all work coming in. Unless you go spend less time in each player, but then still you couldn't take care of all 120 on your own. I have to agree with Nathan that during such times, alot of stress comes with it, but good stress. I also agree with Panda that those moments are the most remarkable and actually the best times for any (good) admin in my opinion.. I loved these moments aswell.

I was GM on a private realm with around 500+ online everyday, in a team with 2 other GMs. Cash was so shit for people whining to give them precious gold and new items. But hey, insta-ban policy for begging worked well.

To say, apart from the bugged quest issues and....Oh, what is this, you won't understand it anyway.

As for CSS, well, i can agree with a limited amount of 22 people that was hella easy.

You've never been to WoW private server. Or I'm the only one who played in a server with 60% population of retards.

Oh, wait.

[Caltson]

Panda was an admin for ages, you've never been an admin here. Panda is cool, you're, uhh, yea. Who to believe? I wonder.

Admin or not, Nathan ain't a bad guy, why do you think so?

[(tr)Ollie]

Not once did I say or even insinuate that he is a "bad guy." In this situation, Panda is obviously the more veracious character due to his background on the admin team.
