Rust: Abusive Moderator; Banned for no reason.

Hello all,

I am posting this here because I'm not sure how else to go about making this report. I've been playing on a US West Rust server for a few weeks now, and have managed to build a large base and research everything there is to research. I have multiple crates of guns and armor etc on this server.

The problem is that there is a young Moderator on this server who has a history of banning people for killing him, or raiding him, or simply because he doesn't like them. When he found out that a couple of his "friends" (I don't think anyone actually likes this person, people are nice to him because they don't want to be banned..) wanted to team with me - He got upset and banned me from the server. I've been dealing with some harassment from him in the server over the past week: Constantly asking me where my base is etc.. Stirring the pot. I am 30 years old and play for fun. He is 15 and I have a feeling Rust is his entire life. I have tried countless times to be nice and just let him have his way.

I feel like this is very unfair to me and others on this server, especially since I put so much time and effort into what I had built.. I also have friends in there who saw me get banned and know it is because he is abusing his admin powers. It is a well known fact by everyone that knows he is a mod (He tries to hide it from people, and says he is not a mod when people ask) that he constantly is abusing his moderator abilities, and harassing people.

I paid for this game and would like for something to be done about this.. I'm not the first one putting up with this individual's abuse. He has banned others for no reason, who were absolutely not hacking, as I certainly wasn't and never have.

There is nothing you or anyone here can do. This is not an "official" server.

There's nothing anyone from Steam can do about Moderator Abuse? I didn't mention what server it was..

Shasow 19 мая. 2014 г. в 20:39

Nope. They aren't Valve's moderators.

Maybe help push me in the right direction?..

Talk to the server owner. He's the only one that can actually do anything. Or better yet, move on to another server.

When it comes to Steam and/or Valve, are there no consequences for this type of behaviour and abuse from a Moderator? Is it 100% in the server owners hands?

Yeah, pretty much.

Their server

Their rules

As others have been saying:

The server owner pays for the server and runs it how ever he/she wants to. They don't always do it in a nice way, but it is their server.

Valve/Steam has no control over it.

I suggest black listing that server and moving on to a better, friendlyer server...or you can rent your own. It's only $20 a month (depending on the host). Then you can run it how ever you want to.

Move to a new server, pay for your own, and let people know about what goes on on this one is about all you can do. It's no different than any other server a person pays for, they can do as they like with it as long as no laws are being broken. I personally would have left the minute I found it was modded by a spiteful child, I don't put up with that sort of nonsense.

I'm 31, OP. I feel your pain.

Welcome to the new PC gaming.

More and more games will revolve around private servers administered by private individuals so that the devs and publishers no longer need to support the infrastructure and overhead of maintaining dedicated servers. Yes, some games have "official servers," but they are few and far between, and with some games, some of those "official servers" aren't really "official" anyway.

We're just getting old, and the PC gaming world is turning into something we will soon no longer recognize, or have the patience for. It sucks.

Wait, user run servers is surely the old school style of PC gaming since quake and all that? And matchmaking with no user run servers is the new stuff?

I remember all the call of duty 4 guys getting mad when they moved over to matchmaking and no user run servers for MW2. No server moderation so you can kick/ban annoying players and cheaters and so on, and now it seems the official MW2 servers are full of cheaters.

I don't play that many modern multiplayer games with a server list these days but I can't remember any that had no official servers.

OP, you should call the server out in the official subreddit, forums on steam, facepunch and so on. (read the rules for each place first). Let people know what kind of people run that server so that they stay clear. This is the beauty of user run servers, you have a choice unlike matchmaking. Post some proof of all this and show those threads to the server admin and find out if he will stand for this abuse of power.

Or if that is to much work just go to another server with good moderation and all that and bring your friends.
