    @Bone thank you for curing my severe depression. Your emoticons always help me in dark times. Thank you for that server as well, Bone. You surely donate a lot of money to xG.
    Thank you for stopping starvation in third world countries as well. We appreciate you.
    Please, to anyone reading this. One minute... One HOUR of silence for bone. If you are ever low on money, you just wanna talk or you need help with the servers, please do NOT hesitate to message me. Bone you are like a brother to me. Actually no, you are like JESUS Christ himself to me. Thank you so much for everything.

    Last time I checked there was no public plugin for TF2.

    realBelloWaldi got a reaction from Muxmaus in PSA: Punishing Donator Abuse   
    There has been a lot of confusion on how to deal with Donator abuse, so the TF2 higher ups have discussed this subject and we came up with a little something:

    What counts as Donator abuse?

    Breaking our guidelines/rules on Donator powers that can be found here: Donator Information | Xeno Gamers
    Someone purposely misusing Donator powers is not allowed, an example would be killing people with noclip.
    However, I expect our staff to use common sense to determine whether something was intentional or accidental. Let's say someone buys über Donator and wants to test out his powers. They use /kartme and accidentally bump into another person. In situations like these, where someone was obviously just having an accident, it is not necessary to punish them. Try to explain the command to them to prevent this from happening in the future. Then again, if someone who had Donator powers for quite a while just charges into enemies with /kartme, they should be punished.
    Now let's get to the interesting part:

    How to punish abusive Donators:

    The protocol in these cases is:
    Warn -> Kick -> Day Ban
    Kick -> Week Ban + Removal of powers
     
    If they're abusing for the first time, give them a warning through chat and tell them what they've done wrong. If they do not listen, kick them. If they come back after a kick, you can ban them for a day. If they come back after a day ban and abuse again, you do not have to warn them again. Jump straight to a kick. If they come back after a kick and do it again, ban them for a week and notify the higher ups so we can remove their powers.
     

    A few things to add:

    As mentioned earlier, you shouldn't follow this protocol when someone accidentally screws up - it has happened to everyone.
    Additionally, it does not matter if someone has been banned before, this protocol applies for Donators regardless of their ban history (unless they have been banned for abuse before, obviously). To make it more clear, here's an example:
    If someone has a day ban for bodyblocking and abuses their powers, do not kick them and then jump to a week ban.

    Let's not be too hard on him, he obviously seems apologetic and regrets what he has done.
    However, I'm neither re-opening this thread nor unbanning him but it doesn't seem like he gets why he was banned in the first place.
    @neonref it's not micspamming that got you banned, it's the fact that you left to dodge your mute. Try not to do it again and you'll be fine. Somehow no one has mentioned this yet.

    However, I expect our staff to use common sense to determine whether something was intentional or accidental. Let's say someone buys über Donator and wants to test out his powers. They use /kartme and accidentally bump into another person. In situations like these, where someone was obviously just having an accident, it is not necessary to punish them. Try to explain the command to them to prevent this from happening in the future. Then again, if someone who had Donator powers for quite a while just charges into enemies with /kartme, they should be punished.
    Now let's get to the interesting part:

    How to punish abusive Donators:

    The protocol in these cases is:
    Warn -> Kick -> Day Ban
    Kick -> Week Ban + Removal of powers
     
    If they're abusing for the first time, give them a warning through chat and tell them what they've done wrong. If they do not listen, kick them. If they come back after a kick, you can ban them for a day. If they come back after a day ban and abuse again, you do not have to warn them again. Jump straight to a kick. If they come back after a kick and do it again, ban them for a week and notify the higher ups so we can remove their powers.
     

    A few things to add:

    As mentioned earlier, you shouldn't follow this protocol when someone accidentally screws up - it has happened to everyone.
    Additionally, it does not matter if someone has been banned before, this protocol applies for Donators regardless of their ban history (unless they have been banned for abuse before, obviously). To make it more clear, here's an example:
    If someone has a day ban for bodyblocking and abuses their powers, do not kick them and then jump to a week ban.

    There has been a lot of confusion on how to deal with Donator abuse, so the TF2 higher ups have discussed this subject and we came up with a little something:

    What counts as Donator abuse?

    Breaking our guidelines/rules on Donator powers that can be found here: Donator Information | Xeno Gamers
    Someone purposely misusing Donator powers is not allowed, an example would be killing people with noclip.
