I see why people go mad doing this... (Aka the 'host's nightmares' thread)

[Trinity Armory]

Just took a break off hosting my server and questioning my sanity >,>; in the 30 minutes it was up, I got the following complaints:

(Note: The server is quite plainly called a Left 4 Block: No Mercy Server, a build that I've been working on probably since v14 came out (and when I was finally able to host) with a few other builders and such. As it's functioning now, I decided to run it for a little while)

-The build's not done (tell me something I don't know)
-you need to add more zombies (It's run via the director, and it was set to 30 total)
-How to get to secret admin room (If everyone knew of it, it wouldn't be secret would it?)
-why you die at falling off the building (30 stories up ring a bell?)
-difficulty needs to be lower (from easy?)
-the elevator shaft shouldn't be instakill falling into it (er, see fall off building)
-Too many addons (considering I don't think the ones that aren't active count on the load, I'm pretty slim on the active addons)
-MAKE DIS FREEBUILD!!1!! (JOIN A FREEBUILD!)
-It's getting boring (try leaving, I was getting RTB spam for those wanting in)
-turn on friendly fire (having enough problems with molotovs...)
-this build sux (look in mirror for response)

Seriously, who else has hosting nightmares like this???

It just comes with the territory, you have to learn to deal with idiots else you'll just end up losing your mind.

I suggest you establish server rules. If they moan, point them rule-ward, if they moan more, kick.

[Devvy]

I've had the same. Here's mine.


"Where can i get a download for the payload gamemode?!/OMG CN I HVE TAHT GAMEMODE PLZ??!!1" (It's private.)
"Can i have admin" (No matter how many times i say it, or even put it in the rules, They still ask)
"Can i load?" (See Above.)

[comr4de]

Usually when people ask for admin on my serv they leave after getting rejected.



I've only perma'd around fifteen people.

[-Jetz-]

I hate it when some idiot shows up and asks me if I have some random mod running, and if I say no, they leave. That's one of the few cases where I actually perma-ban people.

I'm not sure what you mean by active, but any add-on that you have checked off in the add-on list will count for the load. (with some exceptions)

I temporarily host a City RP with Iban's new model. The only time people come is either my friends for their admin or people that want the link to the city rp

No duh. Of course you're going to get people who want City RP.
Every idiots dream is to apparently host a stuffty City RP server. No offense, I'm talking about the people who keep asking for links.

[Moybus]

this is why I ban permanently for just about anything.
