I am currently in my first full game at standard.1000ad.net (massive multiplayer, more ecconomics, poor war engine compared to stars!). I btw am empire 'Noobs', and not doing too badly at moment (despite guys on the top having a NAP among themselves).
Thought it might be interesting to copy my post from the lounge there to here so yo see how we do things better here. (forgive my spelling). Their equivilent of Ron Miller does not spend any time in his game/hosting anymore and sometimes if feels like "the inmates have taken over the assylum". (Forgive my poor spelling)
*** copied post follows ***
If I told an Admin to shut up and/or die, would that be abusing an admin? Is there such a difference between how another human being should be treated?
To give an example of how things are handled in alternate universes:
My first game of Stars! hosted by autohost (http://starsautohost.org/sahforum/) was CFLKIAB (appears too old for the forum threads to be on web site now). Our host/admin Dogthinker turned out to be a cheater, he was also secretly a player in the game. (Admin there has similar powers to see everything).
I was allied with Ptolomy, a more experianced player and we managed to dominate the game. Ptol was always suspicious of the host, he changed his game password so host could no longer get into his empire (host knew everyones passwords to do his job).
When Ron Miller the equivilent of Andrew but always there discovered the cheating, Ptolomey was furious and gave an angry post, though nothing near what is common in the lounge. Ron told Ptolomey to "cool it", even cheater Dogthinker was shown respect.
Dogthinker was given a 1 year ban from hosting and a 3 month ban from playing, but if you look at site today, he is reformed and contributes and plays in games again, we all treat him with respect.
