    I have no problem on giving admins a color, just tell me if you want and if other admins agree I am in.

    Leo: No one will notice! :p Oh and the first script is indeed complex... but the mute one is doable and quite useful when dealing with a lot of kids who don't know about the repercussions of bad words... plus the server should educate them even when admins aren't online... I know you removed the anti-noob script, it was being abused by players... but this is much better.

    Radio: I dislike the idea of glowing bright red and screaming I AM ADMIN HERE LOOK AT MY NAME. If you feel that you need to be above the normal players by looking colorful, let it be... but griefers (especially the non-premium users that don't know me) never expect me to ban them.

    They will notice the admins being red on the list, and! they will also know when there will be NO admins on the server, so they'll feel free to grief like a bully in the sandbox.
     

  5. For the most part I agree with you, Mexer. I also think some players keep it in mind and are "more carefull with griefing" because they know that they don't really know if Admins are playing or not.

    When there's no orange and green nicknames people starts to grief, dont even think about the admins etc. (They don't even know that we don't hava a colors). I think that a lot of guards and admins from others servers can confirm this.. It's sth like "Oh hey.. there's no admins, let's grief!"

    If you're online without the color, people starts to grief and cheat more often. It's easier to catch someone, but sometimes you can't keep up with freezing, bans etc.
    If you're with orange nickname people will think twice whether it is worth grief something and be banned. This would act preventively.

    Color isn't only in order to show how awesome epic guy I am. On the all servers admins have color and I doubt that just to show their divinity, epicness and greatness.

    If you want to stay hidden, you can join to spectators. Everywhere admins are marked, not only in KAG and somehow all the servers are running well.

    There's maybe 3-5% ppl who know that we dont have a color..

    Here are the options:

    1. Have color as admin
    • Players notice you in tab
    • Players bow to you because your name is pink
    • Players don't grief while you're there (most griefers won't grief, so you won't get to ban them)
    • Players may grief when you're gone (griefers finally see you gone)
    2. Don't have color as admin
    • Player don't notice you in tab
    • Players grief and you ban them (so there won't be any griefers left at the time, unlike in the first case)
    • Players don't know if you're online or not so they will never rule out the possibility of you being online.
    I'd pick 2.

    Oh and if I were to pick a color I'd go with my favorite, or black because it's called Black Death [​IMG]

    Mexer plssssss :D I give up. Not everything is as you said and color has its advantages!
    btw. it's possible to have only orange i think.. but i like the idea of a black nickname :P

    Leo could create two groups of admins, but this is an unnecessary.
    Ok then Mexx, if you dont wanna be orange, I also.. Screw yaaa :P

    Nope, you're.. I could write a million posts here about colors, but I see that it makes no sense.
    You see only drawbacks in this idea. Somehow, the other servers have marked admins and we can play there as well.
     
  11. Making 2 different seclevs and putting both of you separately is less than 5 mins, you know :P? This way you two could be satisfied - RadioActive having red name and being good cop and Mexer being undercover bad cop.

    ", but I see that it makes no sense." - Obviously anyone can write 230948 posts that makes no sense. No one needs that.
    "Somehow, the other servers have marked admins and we can play there as well." makes no sense. What's your point?

    Why bad cop, kalikst? I'm adressing the same problems and applying the rules the same way as a "normal" brightly colored pink and red admin would do.
     
  13. I know, it was reference to that negotation strategy called "good cop, bad cop" ;) . Anyways, on Action server problem was solved this way - superadmin with access to the editor had red name, regular admins without editor were undercovered without colored name feature.

    Here superadmins are red by default, and all the other ones are default colored. It's not related to the editor though.

    I know it's not complicated, but i dunno if Leo has a time for that. There's many admins, for now only Mexer and Insane dont wanna be orange. It would be nice if all admins were orange :/

    Y U said WE? :huh?:
    I wanna B orange with U
     

  18. Honestly I don't really mind the color. I said default would be better and I stand by that, however I'd like either all Admins to be orange or all Admins to be default. (It's just so confusing >__<)
