*L* I like that, setting Unixmad on fire. Sounds like something Gord would do.

Houdiniman warped into the spar arena during the big spar event. Even a cursory examination of what was going on should have told him it was a bad idea. He had no authority on the Graalympics server to do so, but he had the power and figured he could do whatever the hell he wants. That's what we call abuse of power - using power you have to do one thing to do something totally other. He could have PMed me like everyone else, but he decided he was above all the normal players because he had the power [but not the authority] to warp around on the global event server, despite the implied warnings against it.

So he was local-banned and disconnected, as were all people who interfered with the Graalympics. He then decided to come right back and start chatting with the sparr-ers, so he was globally banned and disconnected again. That time he didn't come back. He whined for a week and I lifted the global ban, but took away his power as he's demonstrated a penchant for abusing it.

I sure as hell don't want people like that with global warpto. If he can't be bothered to PM, he can't be bothered to go through quests normally neither; then a server string is set wrong because someone skipped an important step and nobody can do the quest, or [as in the Graalympics] a database NPC is created that can only be deleted by completely clearing the level and manually recreating the appopriate NPCs.

Unixmad or Stefan can override this removal of power. HM can also prove he's capable of using it responsibly somehow, most likely by reputation. So far everything I've heard about him suggests this wasn't the first time, though it's the last.

Not to be Mister Corrupt, but the forum rules are pretty clear about how you accuse an admin: tell his superior, don't drag him through the mud in public like this. You're welcome to hate me (hell, I prefer it - hated people can do whatever needs to me done, loved people have to worry about how it'll go over), but don't bring down the forum like this, it's got enough problems.
