Admin Handbook Just wanted to shed some light on this lovely Admin Handbook (click on the Header) that seems to be missing some much-needed love. That is to say, I've noticed an increasing number of Staff banning players with varying time lengths as well as dishing out wrongful Permanent bans on players who are supposedly "hacking" without any sort of evidence or proof to back up the claim. Up until when I stepped down, Staff had always upheld this "unless proven otherwise, give the player the benefit of the doubt" mentality, and it's sad to see that in this case it's becoming more and more apparent that Staff automatically deem a player a 'bad apple' as opposed to the former. Now, I don't want to be a shit-disturber as that isn't my intention; but for the duration of time I've spent here at Xeno Gamers as a Staff Member, I've always tried to do my best to uphold our rules and guidelines. You could call me a 'rule-nazi', though I had always taken great pride in enacting fair and just bans; so if that warrants the rule-nazi title, then so be it. I'm not doubting any Staff's integrity or ability to Moderate, that isn't what I'm getting at here. What I'm just pointing out is that there are certain rules and guidelines that were set in place; albeit a long time ago, when it comes to dishing out punishments. It's just sad to see that those particular rules are either being shrugged off or forgotten, though I'm assuming it's the latter. Anyway, I just wanted to bring this to light, because I don't know if/when it will be brought up at any other point by anyone else. Cheers :coffee:

You were banned on October 8, 2016. Here is the ban for anyone who is curious: Xeno Gamers @mrnutty12 is the one who banned you. What is he going to do, just ask you if you're using an aimbot? No, he won't. Nutty seemed to go off of his judgement. He will respond with his reasoning soon.

Nice idea, probably not going to happen as what @Vexx said.

Just throwing this out there since it's becoming increasingly common for Staff to ban players for hacks without any evidence toward it (both in CS:GO and TF2). Not sure if this is due to a lack of knowledge (in regards to the Admin Handbook) or failure to uphold the proper guidelines when dealing with bans of any sort. Not calling the Staff Member in question out or anything so much as I am making it aware that unless there was some change or alteration to how Staff should be carrying out bans, things have been slipping quite a bit. Mind you, this is all from the perspective of a Member, and as such if there were changes then I apologize in advance.

do I just +1 or..?

Good CT, follows rules from what I've seen and is pretty active! A:8 M:9 +1

Hmm, I don't just ban people for no reason, especially when it comes to aimbots. However, I don't keep a video log of literally everyone I ban (lord knows how much memory that would take) so it is hard to produce video evidence, but I am usually pretty darn sure people are not playing legit when I ban them for aimbot. Now, before I ban someone I look for common tropes of aimbots, and I watch until I witness something that would be most telling that the player has something fishy going on. So if I did ban you for it I must have seen something quite obvious to myself as illegitimate playing, however I don't have the demo files on hand to re-verify so my vote remains neutral on unbanning. EDIT: Seems like I need to take an ol' trip down to the admin handbook...

Absolutely no issues with having to take a little break cuz of school and other life tasks, hope everything is going well!

In the recording i have (no demo unfortunately, this was through shadowplay) he gives the order to unstack just before he gets shot at. There is absolutely no way you can react and follow an order that fast. -1 for unban

We're down to the point where if we change any of our servers it'll make a lot of people angry. Even if a server is dead most of the time doesn't mean it's not ever played, I still see people hop on Deathrun and Jailbreak occasionally. Also, I'd like a reason for xG to stand out from other servers, and a 24/7 hightower would not really be "standing out" since there's already hundreds of 24/7 hightowers.

-1 kid is annoying as fuck.
