Disagree completely with you Silly.  Refer to MOTD:

Quote:While playing on the War-Lords gaming network you agree to abide by these rules. Any breaking of these rules will result in disciplinary action.
Team Stacking
People who intentionally teamstack to harvest points will have either their points adjusted, points completely reset, or gameme tracking disabled for their account.

Don't Cheat
People who cheat in online games are only cheating themselves. All cheating will get you is a permanent ban from the War-Lords gaming servers, no questions asked. Correspondence will seldom be entered into on this subject - just don't do it!

The following things are not permitted on the War-Lords servers and will result in swift punishment:
Hacking.
Exploiting the server or game.
Exploiting the map.
Ignoring game objectives.
Deliberate team killing.
Deliberate team flashing.
Mic and Chat spamming.
Inappropriate sprays. Shock sprays and hardcore porn is not allowed.
Inappropriate language or names (General cussing in moderation is allowed).
Impersonating a Admin.
Linking to cheat, shock or inappropriate websites.

If you're unsure about anything ask an admin.

Read older abuse threads to see that admins don't and aren't aloud to get away with bloody murder, i.e. justified-is just a lie to harass admins and do what you want. (you is not directed personally at Silly just players that don't like "authority")

If you don't like rules play on private servers or "free" servers with no MOTD/Admin.  Most servers have rules to "control" players behaviors in the GAME.

Matt isn't saying ruplayer is right because he is an admin.  He is saying that admins are justified to team balance in similar cases.

I interpret your suggestions as to make admins "gun shy"/restricted to what they are able to do.  We are highly scrutinized on a daily basis.  We are one of the few severs that are "player rights focused" meaning that we hold admins accountable for their actions/decisions.  We aren't the 1%, "the man," "the system," or whatever authority that people gripe about.

Feeling de ja vu in this thread.  Please refrain from drawing this out into a philosophical discussion.
