I have a question about what you guys think about admins on online game servers

Simple, just answer the question.

They are sometimes good and sometimes bad.

The thread is a poll FYI.

I believe it gives you the right to set the rules to anything you wish, and from there you could permaban anyone you wish. Assuming the rules are properly posted, I would be fine with the owner having a rule such as follows:
"I reserve the right to ban anyone for any reason."

I would just leave, but it's acceptable ethically.


Therefore my answer is "no", as it does not give you the right to randomly ban anyone.



However, due to ownership, you DO have the right to do whatever the forget you want on your server.

This doesn't mean you SHOULD do whatever the forget you want with no regard to your guests, but you CAN.

They can run their server however they please, whether you like it or not

Oh I thought the title was the question.

I missed the poll by a long shot...

What if said server runs off of a donation program that doesn't immunize you from this penalty?

Same concept. Doesn't matter.


However, if you PAY for the RIGHT to join/build, then you are being SOLD A SERVICE, and it is thievery to revoke your right for no reason.


If it's donations, on the other hand, then it is purely optional, and you are not... protected by the rights of the consumer.

"Rights of the consumer" - that's such BS.


edeet - clarification

Nobody is going to pay to stay on a server, anyone who asked me that I would get off it anyway.

Or do you mean something like gamefandans old rpg where people would donate but could still get banned?

[Night Fox]

forget yes they can
it's their server, use it when you need it so they can run it however they damn well please

not that they're right to, though
