Well it sounds to me like what you're saying is:
A ) There should be a review of current admins
B ) Admin applications should be considered more

I dont totally agree with that, but thats still not enough reason to resort to letting random nawbs pay for more power.. That would just lead to a corrupt and terrible management of the servers, it works fine now anyway..

Oh and @warp thats what the Greens are for, it seems unfair to let people buy their way into being a Green, that would destroy the whole point of awarding people with Green status.

I totally agree on making the GreenCoins more usefull. Perhaps make changes on the forum profile or whatever cost money? Just make it more like an everyday currency that you have to use daily (without ruining the experience for the people that doesn't play or donate, of course).

Perhaps this is something a thread should be made about in the greens lounge, for suggestions on how to better use green coins. Might keep the thread a little more focused if you post it there..

@Tootao: I try to keep being active in the MTA server although in the last months I didn't got around to it so much. Now it's mainly because MTA: SA gives me bad textures that feel like I'm fucking up my videocard - but even through that I still try to play it when I have time.

So I come online once in a while in a couple of weeks - only to find out that everytime I join, nothing's going on, and there are usually other admins around at that time anyway. The last time I had a reason to use my admin functions was to mute somebody a couple of months ago, since then I didn't find any problems (unless they were solved by other admins who were present in the server at that time).

If you feel there's a shortcoming on admins right now in the MTA server though, I'll make time and play in the server more regularly.

Ok !

Useless *_*

I am totally for lower level admins (mta). You list the four active admins but they are all on at the same time. When most of us foreign continent players are on, there
are no admins to manage the mayhem. I am constantly running into nick fackers, trollers, spammers, blockers...etc. There is a large list of reputable members that can
fill in this void. They don't even need full access to the admin panel. Simply kick, mute or maybe a feature to simply turn their ghostmode back on so they cant block.
Those of you that play regularly know who these people are so I shall not mention any names.

My 2 cents.

Report with screenshots / videos, that would help.

It would at least get rid of those who keep breaking the rules multiple times.
And if you want admins so badly, tell the server to get active on these forums.

[alwTicToc]

The solution to the problem is simple, like Bandit said, need more admins. 24 hour (or as close to as possible) would be ideal.

And if you can't/don't trust the admins you have, or your new ones, then they shouldnt have admninship if the first place.

(O)_(O) is the newest mta admin, but just like the rest of you, he plays when BinSlayer, Sergio, SDK, and Bandit play. Juggernaut is
the only one I can think of that plays when USA people do, but he hardly ever does.

[warp.]

Well I agree with most of the comments above, but this imo is getting kinda off topic regarding the main topic..

[BinSlayer]

it's true.
there's nobody to watch over the server at night (european nighttime) when our friendly americans/mexicans/asians whatever play the most.
well as TicToc said, Juggernaut might not be that active

Thanks Bin. So what does one propose we do about it? I suggest YOU guys decide who should be given admin access during the times that you and the rest
of your ilk are not online.

If that doesn't sound amenable, I am sure a list could be provided to you.

[BinSlayer]

If only there were any apps by american people, but I don't think there are

[Bandit]

I understand being from a clan might bring corruption to the server but that's just politics and bureaucracy. What harm could that do in MTA? It's not like people will sabotage the server and take it over, this is not Hitler's Germany.
I think changing that rule would be able to help us in this situation. Of course, it would have to be a reliable person but that's with any other app as well.. (I'm talking about TicToc or someone like him becoming a mod/low level admin)

It's not up to you to question the rules.. If people want to be admins so bad I'm sure they can quit their clan.
Before I became admin, I belonged to a clan too. Same rules applied to me.

I'm just saying this would help the server. Suggesting ideas.
"Not up to you to question the rules" .. what..

[Mr. Darkness]

I say no, the current system is good enough.
Paying to be an admin is a really, really bad idea, since anyone can come as an admin and ruin the entire fun.

Admin app > Acceptation > Success to be an admin, just because you are relatively accepted by admins and your smart forum posts, to show that you really have a brain and can think of anything normal; you know you must control the server.
Either way, here, in this post you show that you get accepted as an admin only paying with money. Also, if it is, let's say pay p/month, it is honestly retarded. People are going out of their money and cant control the server which will bring to L4G admin crisis. IF you dont understand what I mean, then I would tell it like that: the less admins pay, the less admins there will be and the more problems with the controlling the servers will be.


Also, inactive admins? Well, if they were inactive for ages (like 3 months), then just demote them to greens. What do we have IRC for? We have it to keep contact with admins! Pretty simple, isnt it? Especially where you have Steam, you can contact an admin. For MTA it is easy aswell, IRC.

The people who pay to be an admin might be really bad in being admins, so what do you think? There is no point, you get money from random people who destroy the server with their own fun kicking other players or something like that.

So, what I want to finally say: Deal with current system, apply for an admin, get accepted by TopCrew, right when they are abled to. The system is TOTALY normal.

Enjoy your day, sir!

I agree. We're a community, and just because Topcrew makes decisions doesn't mean they should always be right.

(btw I wanted to look who gave the +1 to BinSlayer and then I actually +1'ed his post myself, doesn't mean I agree with him. Now you know!)
