how to report Abusive admins

[WhitePowerRanger]

In the wake of multiple threads in this discussion board about abusive admins I believe OWI needs to address this problem some people are having.

As a new player figuring out the problems with abusive admins I believe they should have in game warnings telling you that you need evidence to back up your claims.

Being a new player and running into abusive admins is a major issue as they require no evidence to ban you but you require evidence to have them prosecuted.

There has been multiple threads locked about people talking about this issue. OWI needs to address it in a pinned thread or in game texts. It's not common knowledge

On that subject, most of us are here to play a game not play squad admins

Please use the server report flow with evidence, rather than using the forum to call out individuals or communities. Server license holders who overstep the code of conduct and licensing requirements will be investigated and can have their license revoked. In contrast, we do not allow public naming/shaming of communities as there is no way for us to check the validity of these claims.

To report problems players or Admin abuse with a specific server, email [e-mail] with the following details:

Name of the server (required)
Any evidence such as video, pictures etc (required)
Date and time of incident (required)

Or alternatively you can fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/t4Cg2N12eBwa7Fni6

This is the crock of sjit they'll give you. This does nothing!
Anyone pushing this is either ignorant about it, trolling or straight up malicious.
OWI gives no access to the evidence against an individual. They do not reason their decision. It's basically a "trust me bro" situation.
IT IS NOT IN OWI's INTEREST TO GO AGAINST THEIR SERVER ADMINS.
So they won't, unless it's so blatantly obvious that they have to.
Capitalism is what it is. People suck. There will be no change until more than 25% of ppl start giving a damn.

for owi to actually do anything youd probably have to collection a lot "evidence" over a period of time with numerous infractions

That's incorrect. They take any admin abuse reports very seriously. Numerous server hosts have been perma banned.

I honestly know that squad admins are the lowest lifeforms in existence, they will ban you if you break their fragile ego, they will ban you out of no where, and they just ban you because someone reported you and they don't care to find out why.

Example: Some guy trying to tk you, you tk him back, he reports you to admin, admin bans you.

this x10 you get scbl and you basically can't play the game and have to find 1 or 2 servers that doesn't have scbl and if you accidentally pick the one with scbl you have to wait, join server and then get redirected, it won't even show scbl that's how dumb it is.

No wonder I stopped playing this game, it seems cool and all, but I go into a heated argument with mil sim air soft veterans and you get banned, getting banned is inevitable.

This is what you have available and I believe it does help. I've reported servers historically and those servers have disappeared after a short period. Like to think I've helped and I've contributed by doing my part and all that.

Not exactly, they dont like you tell you they require evidence for this until you try anf fill out their google doc form. Until then you realise maybe you should have setup your screen recorder before even starting squad.

this game has to be recorded 24/7 just to get punishment

This is the problem with the game. I tried pointing this out to OWI and they asked me a Rhetorical question "cant type for 3 seconds?"

OWI is promoting these abusive admins by being abusive themselves.

I wish they would just make a public server where there aren't admins and there is just a votekick system that people vote to remove trolls from the server. But then nobody would play neckbeard rent a servers so they would lose profits from that.

It really sucks because this game is pretty cool but the community is just so predictable, typically grown men who never served in the military because they were too much of a coward go on here to live their fantasy and make other people who enjoy the game stressed out.

That and also the power trip feeling of banning players really makes them stimulate and think to their selves they are something and higher than the average player, but in reality just another useless sack of turd, these overweight low life high school drop out oxygen thief rent a server admins are the reason this game sucks, if it weren't for them I would still play it, but then again the whole community is littered with stole valor tards who didn't serve their country but like to pretend they did.

Basically, you are just upset you can't go on unhinged racist rants anymore. The community does not miss you.

Why on earth would they need to do that when they have have remote backdoor access to spectate any official server?

So just from what you said you made a bad decision and the other guy that TK'd you followed the rules of reporting you and it worked? you were banned for TK'ing

I'm thinking a better course of action then for you would have been to let him TK you then YOU report him and he gets banned... or am I reading that wrong?
