Edit: me getting blasted in the members only section??! What's new lmao

Don't let this distract you guys from the fact that the Undertaker threw Mankind off the top of the Hell in a Cell cage in a 16 foot fall through an announcers table!

So I know a lot of people here are having fun arguing with you guys, but there's really only two issues I have with what you two are saying. The first one being the above quote. You're again assuming this community is filled with people of lower education than yourselves. Myself and others have graduated with CS, EE, and other degrees, while actually working in industry and volunteering time here on the side to make sure our servers are maintained, protected, etc. You two talk a lot about everyone here making assumptions about you, but you're doing the same. Trust me when I say we're providing essentially the best services possible to our servers (within any sort of reasonable cost).
 
 
 
 
 
I quoted quite a few of these where you keep talking about how admin should not be purchasable. This last quote above is exactly why we're able to. You two were banned, and unbanned a couple of days later (sorry it took so long, I do appreciate you donating to the servers and trying to help them out). BUT this is exactly the process we have in place, if people think there has been abuse by ANY admin, paid or volunteer, report (or if they're in an upper position such as staff / so, they can ban them and report them) so that it can be properly taken care of. In this case, you two were unbanned, but if abuse was found, admin would potentially be taken away. I don't see any reason we can't offer increased permissions, with higher consequences for wrongful use. Not to mention on other servers outside of GMOD, it does give many of the other benefits you guys have mentioned (cosmetic, extra side perks, etc). 
 
As with any ban that gets reversed, I apologize for the time you guys missed out on playing the server. Especially since it was a good chunk of the weekend.

Do you think basic kicks, mutes, gags, and 6 hour bans are equivalent to the power of a staff position.
I could've read this wrong. I'm not all that bright. Just curious.

Maybe they are still talking about it because of how wrong you are.
 
First, you don't need special equipment to carry out a DoS. DoS attacks can be done several ways. I think the way you are thinking is to have a very fast internet connection and saturate a servers connection by shear bandwidth. Usually pure bandwidth attacks are DDoS which is distributed and using a botnet(multiple spread out computers/servers usually infected). However, there are other ways for single machine to do a DoS which involve vulnerabilities in software or hardware. The only equipment you need is a computer and internet line.
 
Second, we are not unprotected. Our host provider has very fast connections to handle bandwidth saturation by DDoS and also has network hardware appliances to filter out other types of attacks and attempt to block some DDoS coming in so it doesn't reach the servers. The reason we picked this host is because of that protection. We don't need some white knight admin constantly on the server waiting to defend the server from the evil script kiddie. We have(or our host has) a big ol'e box with a bunch of wires connected to it and Arbor Networks written on it.
 
Third, I have no idea why you think not having an admin on would make someone want to commence an attack. Normal attacks come from pissed off children with mommy and daddies credit card that got banned from the server or they are trolls wanting to show off their e-peen... either way they WANT an ADMIN on. They want to show off or get back so an admin needs to be there. On the flip-side when servers get attacked randomly and there happens to be no admins on I can guarantee they don't give a shit if an admin is on or not. They are either a rival community trying to take down a competitor or they are just attacking the top servers on the browser list. The later is what's prominent in not just gmod but any online games. There are people that look at the most amount of players and go after those server regardless of admins being on or not.
 
So before you go running your mouth how we are unprotected why don't you do some actual research... or at least realize there are people in this community who are not children and have more knowledge then you because they work in industries that have to deal with such attacks on a much bigger scale then a gaming community with game servers.

Idk what think you know about denial of service, but having an admin on the server isn't going to do shit lmao
 
Likewise, welcome to the sG forums. Maturity is something I'm still working on and beating a dead horse is something that we consider a past time here

To add on to what face said, you're also talking about a very specific map. You even said people either leave or play the stupidly op races (for that map). Most of the abilities are nowhere near as strong on other maps. Personally I don't like crackhouse. I'd rather it be gone, but asking for balances based on a specific map as this isn't really worth it imo. 

You seem overly infatuated with sticks being put into asses. I don't know what happened, but I hope whoever made you like this was served some sort of justice for putting branches near your rectum. 

Why are you talking like this?

"Yo so they always all got sticks up they asses?"   "I mean, check it like this:"

EDIT2: Read edit below.
 
Also, here's the picture I meant to post, but apparently copy pasta on a phone doesn't work on forums (EVEN THOUGH IT SHOWS UP ON YOUR PHONE LIKE IT WORKED....)

(this was the "we did it" post)
 
EDIT2: I would like to call out Eddy for prematurely editing out my findings of @PeeWee. Because of Eddy jumping the gun on my supposed 'PIP' I did more research. I have come to the conclusion that peewee is a liar, and that is in fact not a picture of him.

I'VE BEEN WAITING 4 YEARS:
 

I'm redoing how I update this thread, as the spoiler tags are getting really long and tedious, and I have been slacking on posting these updates. I'll be putting the updates in the new post each time  rather than on this post.
