a shame to see you go i would with lias that admin is not a god given right  and in my humble and wholly irrelevant opinion you wouldn't have made a terrible one

voted congrats

Surely if it was Ponsonby it would have to be vegan, gluten free, wheat free and what ever else they don't eat...

the funny thing is i am gluten and dairy intolerant

did i not get this private message or something???

edit: oh here it is, that's right, last weekend when i was pretty fucken wasted and too hung to do anything. then busy for a week leading up to my wedding which also turned out to be a 3 day bender..

this issue will be handled when i know what i need to do to fix it.

congrats on the marriage dude

I'll be honest and tell you that nothing has been changed, we are still running things the same and havent told admins to frequent servers more or anything....

regardless of your instrucions there has been a significant rise in admins present on the server perhaps coincidence or a reaction to my post to be honest it does not really matter

Actually our system is fine and reliable. You don't see things from our side to know what we see.
We have every report on record. I think were nearly at the 4000 mark.
You need to realize that some issues dont need admin intervention.  Its just some admins may decide to intervene.
To use your example,  fake afk is not really something we need to always deal with. We have a set timer on each hale round to deal with people mucking around and wasting time.
We also see a lot of pointless reports come through.

I appreciate your concern about the lack of admins, like I said earlier,  this will be discussed.  Feel free to apply for admin if you feel we require more.

well i thank you for your time and explanations  i hope that these issues will be solved in the near future

Issues with a lack of admins on hale servers
I  have often noted that there is a lack of any admins on the hale servers this may be a cause of the reduction in popularity in hale mode as admin and admin like players work to hold servers together by promoting a safe and positive atmosphere that most tf2 players crave considering that phunphace derpy egg  majestic and even hoboneer have not been on hale servers in a long time this is perhaps due to  their fading interest in hale in propose that we get some new admins to manage this server people like crispy Jew and derpy (underage but still a good candidate ) or epic bubbles be promoted to admin as they have shown there commitment time and time again to the get some community acting already in the interests of the server in have often observed them helping newer players get used to the game stopping flame wars and other negativity on the server making the server a safe place. Generally acting as an admin should this is not so much a promotion of these players in particular but a complaint that the hale servers have been neglected too much in these resent times even when the server maintains it’s high and loyal player base

Perhaps you would heed this request and we may yet again have a well-managed server happy safe server that everybody can enjoy.
