Author Topic: Why do so many people ask for admin?  (Read 1461 times)

Why is it that about 65% of the people that join my server ask the same question - "Can I have admin?"
And Also, I go to other people's servers and the same thing happens!
Does anybody know why? This is just a question I had.
EDIT: I added a poll.

Because they want to abuse it with unfair advantages, ban people for no reason, and be overall trolls.

Because it's bragging rights and it's apart of Blockland's aristocracy, where admins are above standard players.


because they want admin
They're too indecent to know how the system actually works so they think they need it

They are immature and are unaware of how the system works.

They don't understand that the host should be asking people to be admin, not the other way around.

Most people that ask me have no idea what an admin does
And then I ban them with the reason "This is an example"

I should totally start doing that.

In my opinion, it is because people think admin is a title that makes you cooler.
It's really more off a responsibility, than a privilege.

I got an idea. 
#1   Give them admin(manual)
#2   In the console type: findClientbyname("name").isAdmin=0;
#3   They have the title but no powers    :cookie:'s all around

What I do sometimes is admin them then immediately de-admin them and say "there"

Mostly just because its a form of power. The only time I have asked for admin is if someone requested my help with something t hat requires admin, or its a friend.

If anyone can come in my server and prove to me why they need admin and it's a reasonable need, then I will give them admin.

If someone asks me "Can I have admin?" my response will always be "Why?"
