Using admin commands other than those approved here or using the approved commands in a way that violates protocol will likely result in an IMMEDIATE LOSS OF ADMIN. All admin actions are logged, we can do a simple search to see if anyone has broken protocol if we need to. SO DON'T BREAK PROTOCOL!!!
[attn]Members (NewMember, Member, SrMember) may only use:[/attn]
KICK (and) 10 MINUTE BAN
Some members have map vote/change permission too, if you have it you know who you are. Do NOT use the switch team commands, or switch to spectator. Do not use any commands that aren't the aforementioned KICK or 10 MINUTE BAN. Violation = loss of admin for one month or whenever it is earned back.
If someone needs a permanent ban, give them a 10min ban and then make a quick post with proof or send a message with proof (screenshot, demo) to an Officer and it will be done. The offender's steam ID is saved by SourceBans with the 10 minute ban. Although we may ban without proof on your word, the ban will be lifted in the case of an appeal if there is no proof.

[fun]May only ban for hacking with proof, MUST BE OBVIOUS, if evidence is reviewed and it is not unanimously agreed upon without a reasonable doubt that the player in question was hacking, you WILL loose your admin immediately until further notice. Admins may not accuse players of hacking until evidence is reviewed, you MUST have evidence (demo). It's not worth loosing your admin over, don't take action against a supposed hacker unless you are 100% sure, you are staking your admin powers on it.

Server Admin ProtocolUsing admin commands other than those approved here or using the approved commands in a way that violates protocol can result in loss of privileges.
New Member, Member, Sr. Member may only use:
Kick and temporary ban.
If someone requires a permanent ban for egregious violations, session ban and then post with proof or send a message with proof (screenshot, video, demo) to an officer. The offender's steam ID is generally logged when they are removed from the server. We request this because although we may ban on your word, the ban could be lifted if an appeal is made and there is no proof.
Approved Actions:
Kick
Temporary ban
Map vote
Alltalk vote
Listen to enemy voice comm (only if there is no admin on the other team)
Talk to server (only to issue verbal warnings)
Permanent Bans:
MUST BE REPORTED TO AN OFFICER OR POSTED ON THE FORUMS. Otherwise, the ban may be rescinded and prompt further review.
Racism, extreme disrespect/ hostility, recruiting, or impersonating a member1. Permanent ban
Hacking, exploiting/glitching1. Permanent ban
May not ban for hacking and exploiting/glitching without proof which MUST BE OBVIOUS. If evidence is reviewed and not unanimously agreed upon without a reasonable doubt that the player in question was hacking (wallhacks, speed hacks, aimbots, etc.), your admin privileges would come under review. Admins may not accuse players of hacking until evidence is reviewed and you must have video evidence. Do not take action against an alleged cheater unless you are certain beyond a reasonable doubt. In cases of well established exploiting and glitching, then a screenshot may be enough proof. For suspected hacking, a demo is generally the only acceptable evidence.
