Prevent admin abuse?

[Patrick .V]

Hey guys, i wonder if there is an option of codes where i can disable "God, fly, spawn in,ect " for admins and owner ?
To prevent as much admin advantage as possible.

Where admins can only use "showmyadminmanager" to kick, ban and teleport players out of stuck.

Thanks :)

if your admins enter a password to grant themselves admin you could always make them use arkon, its an rcon tool they can use as if they werre ingame but they cannot use fly god spawn etc

The best option is to try to find a good server where admins are in the interest of keeping the server running and enjoyable for all players.

Removing an admin's abilities to manage a server is basically asking for tribe abuse as well as reducing the amount of enjoyable servers.

There will always be bad admins, but most good admins generally use "fly" or "god" to the advantage of the server players.

For instance, if you're stuck, it would be completely pointless if the admin tried to warp to your location to see if you're telling the truth, then getting ambushed by a player's tribe, or finding out you're underwater surrounded by giant squid and just dying on arrival before their game loads the area.

Just a minor example of many possible.

Ideally, you will want to find a server where the admin cares about it, and not one where they just want to mess around with admin tools.

The other option is if there is a secondary, or multiple secondary admins who are abusing power, report it to the server owner if you feel like the owner cares about server stability. At the very least, it will lower the chance of abuse.

I've been an admin on many servers, and currently run my own. It's rough finding relyable players to be an admin, so a simple report on their actions can definitely go a long way.

Hiro, i think he's asking about his own server

Make sure your rules for your admins are made very clear to them (spell them out) and if they break those rules, fire them. There's no shortage of people that want to be an admin for a server out there.

Ahh ok, would be great if it was an option for this.
Like boxes to disable cheats. And where players could see if this was on or not. But ok, i will be the only admin atm. Cause i can resist that ♥♥♥♥

Enable admin logging. As far as I know, you cannot stop people from using commands if they are admins but logging will notify the server in the chat box of they are doing anything!

there two versions of this, one you can enable in your commandline, where it'll print out which admin uses what i na log file, then one that goes into GUS.ini where it'll print out in chat which admin did what
as i stated before you should use arkon as it'll post any and all chat messages displayed when you connect to the server with it.

Safest bet, and tbh for me only safe bet and how I used to do it myself, Admin Tribe don't PvP.
Without that there will be abuse QQ no matter what.

sure,

AdminLogging=1 goes into your gus.ini[gamerusersettings]

and
-servergamelog goes into your command line, if you rent a server that option should already be there, you just need to enable it

also make sure you have rcon enabled if your gonna use arkon
