I can't speak for other GPs, but I keep all my bannings and jailings in a chalkup file, reason and release date, if any. *nod*

I wouldnt hire an admin, i would hire development staff, and promote as nessarcery.

because I was a dumb 2...
and my IP got banned :(

Did you know if the conditions are just right you can walk through a one tile wall? I almost got banned for doing that when I was a newbie. I thought that bugs would be fixed ASAP (maybe a few months)... but WAS I WRONG!!!! The LAT, etc., don't even bother to fix bugs. When I went to report bugs all I recieved was an "we know, and you're insignificant, so ****."

All Staff that Ban or jail for the matter need to be "trained" on the rules and their use. And yes tested to their knowedge of them and also how to use them. It is something I am working on for future use , " A PW Guide to jailing and Banning". Again something I am striving for is more standard rules for all PWs. This does not include custom rules needed for some servers because of the nature of their PW (ie rules on RP names and such) this only pertains to the "Basic Graal rules and the PW Rules." Servers are encouraged to make their own Staff rules and server rules as long as they do not conflict with Graal rules. But rules regarding players and the interaction with them all need to be standard to Graal rules and Graal rules supercede any server rules if they do conflict.

I am also a firm believer if a PW has rules , Staff or Player they MUST be posted for public view and review. This can be done either on a server website or on a server message. I have a dim view of server rules nobody knows about or even seen and why I will push that they always be accessible to all players and Staff.

If we banned newbies we'd have no players, everyones been a newbie at one point in time, some of us before you. now days everyone says they played in 1998 when they started in like 2001. its funny. I stopped believe people i didnt see. its like "OMGOSH I FORGOT MY NAME AND IM ON A NEW ACCOUNT" then i ask them how you use to save they say ACCOUNT SAVED IT AUTOMATICALLY, its funny as hell. They lie about it wow. but hey who cares if probably actually about 10% of the local Posters here probably less actually played in 98. the 3 off the bat i can think of are Lyndzey, Hoss and Pickles, Galens another. but yea.
