no more spec slots?

[Skallys Avenger]

Hey, I noticed there aren't any spectator spots on the server anymore. Was this intentional? Are they ever coming back?

[rimmer59]

Im sure they were just filled up...

[Skallys Avenger]

Well, I'm going by where the server browser shows if peeps are in spec or not (their names show up yellow instead of red or blue) and there aren't any in there, but still I can't join. Also when you click on the server and look at the settings, it shows MaxSpectators = 0. It used to be = 2.

[rimmer59]

HEY JIMMY!!! Get your ass in here and explain what is going on!

This is just a wild guess out of my ass, but I presume it has something to do with the cockdockers (learned a new word this week ) that have been screwing with the server. It's a matter of giving in to those assholes/bullies and letting them re-drive away some or finding a way to get rid of them for good. Best wishes to those trying to fix that (if) anything is being done about it. (I think they were coming in to spec slots and then doing stuff - again just a wild guess)

For the record I haven't been on mainly because there's too many other things to do out there without having to deal with the shit messes that have always been around the UT communities. Plus school and studying is draining a huge portion of my days and I'd rather jump in to a game and actually have fun with some good peeps, not hear about some assholes crashing a server because they got banned for being outstanding citizens therefore they are screwing with the server like 5 year old kindergarten whiney bitches that need to have the living shit beat out of them within an inch of their pointless lives. (In other words, if UT is the only thing that helps them cope with their lives and they can't seem to find anything else constructive to do, what is the problem with going by rules set up by a server that they don't pay for I.E. it's FREE to them, instead of shitting in their own cornflakes causing problems).

Wardad hit it pretty close: Those who have wanted to crash the server do it from the spec slots, so we removed them. This may or may not be permanent. If we go a while with no issues, I'll bring the spec slots back and see what happens. I know it's not convenient, but neither are intentional server crashes.

[rimmer59]

O.K. If you can block I.P. adresses...do it, so then we dont need to suffer.

[Trailboss3]

An IP address ban is easy to circumvent but a combination of CUID and IP ban would be a little more effective but not foolproof.

Bout time someone else feels the cyber bullying. Fuck em they never been tought respect.

On that subject I think failsause AKA "snow" And his goons put a hex on the server in rage because they was banned then the powers that be in ctc admins made a deal to let them back in fearing the end of the server? Just a thought....

[Skallys Avenger]

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I used to play on an ONS server and made friends with a bunch of the admins there. Got to hear them complain about server crashers and watch them try to deal with all that crap...it doesn't sound fun. Hopefully things go back to normal soon.
