How to find if an admin is abusing their powers?

[CloseJuan]

I am the owner of a server, I've given admin privileges to a few tribe mates, all of a sudden there has been a flurry of building activities... I can't find anything in the general log files (../conansandbox/saved/logs) but perhaps I'm searching for the wrong command? I've searched by username for commands, for "administrator", for "SpawnItem" and none show any results.

If there isn't a way to do it yet, there needs to be a way to have this recorded.

It's been this way in all pvp full loot games for the last 20 years.

I get that. but I like to run a clean server. MOST other games you can find something in the log file about what an Admin has done. Was just hoping there was something here.

Just remove their administration rights by changing the password. However I agree their needs to be time stamped logs. I however want them so people who play on my server know for a fact that I don't cheat.

I run without in game admins. Clears that issue up. They can do the updates and simple server stuff on panel.

ahh man, i hate to remove my admins, I had hoped they would be helpful. Guess my trust issues are too much. They really need the log feature.

And that is why you find a good clan who has one, don't join just any one with a cool name or a recruiting add in he general channel lol

Myself and my partner are the only admins on our server, unfortunately it seems to be the only way you can do it.

(Don't allow any special preferences, keep admin control, don't partake in PvP because they don't know if you are cheating, and any 'fixes' need proof before you fix them for people)

Never give admin to random people. Only give moderator rights. So they can kick and ban griefers.

Over all though you got pick ones you trust or just hope their are narks. Easier to pull off with a an organized clan or group. Like ours you don't get server admin easy, its baby sitting job anyways, but you got earn it. And you go out of your way to abuse the clan has like 12 servers you can get baned from and tons of guilds in MMOs to be kicked from never seen a server admin do it, but we got a clan charter against explois like if find them in game we can announce them to each other but its a big nono to use them on purpose once known. Wich reminds me need to report an exploit...

And you can do this in CE? I must have missed that option.

Yes. Most ppl who got the power will use it. Sure not every one but a lot.
I started on an unofficial pvp server after the officials went down. For a day i didnt noticed anything unusual. The second day i accidentaly hit a building with my stone pick and... nothing happened. Checked server settings and they changed so you cant damage building for some reason... i left and still waiting

[kingdongo]

Same.No matter what admins will always abuse.

I'm playing on a RP-PVP server and our admin isn't abusing at all as far as I've seen. Saw him build his basic house from scratch and isn't running around in super gear/with super weapons. Even saw him die once against hyenas!
