I think Kevinz000 has a lot of issues he needs to work out before I can take him seriously as an admin.
Kevin's ban on pax left a particularly bad taste in my mouth. The whole thing is an excellent showcase of his various faults and I really wish he'd taken some of the things my alt said about it initially more seriously.

Kevin is unable to process the basic logic that not every situation has a good guy and a bad guy. He could only process the whole conflict in black and white: Pax did wrong, Pax was punished, Pax killed someone for being punished. It took 2 hours of trying desperately to get him to understand that there was an entire round of events that happened between point A and point B, and even when he began to grasp this fact he seemed unable to acknowledge the significance of the bigger picture.

Kevin has difficulty approaching a situation objectively. In the initial conversation with Pax through adminhelps, Kevin accuses Pax of "greytiding" (a term which here means, committing standard IC crimes) 6 times over the course of their conversation whilst largely ignoring Pax's attempts to explain himself. Kevin continues to press an issue that Pax has already made several attempts to address, to the point that Pax completely gives up trying to communicate. Kevin sees this frustration as "refusal to communicate" and attempts to deny the ban sans further discussion as soon as the thread goes up. He presented the situation in a vague manor and backpedaled once called out on thus, citing that the Head of Security involved could not have possibly known the full story and therefore was less wrong than Pax for acting on false information.

Kevin has issues handling his authority. During this ban, the only player that actually got killed (an unrelated bystander hit in a crossfire) was contacted and said he took no issue with being murdered and had found the situation funny. In spite of this, Kevin felt the need to punish Pax for an incident wherein no one ahelped (the HoS later did after killing Pax, which is a silly thing to do in this gamer's opinion) and no one seriously affected by the conflict felt they had been wronged or witnessed a violation of the rules. When pressed to justify the ban, Kevin kept pressing the issue of Pax greytiding, something I assume he takes issue with due to his frequent (mis)use of the word and the fact that he describes himself as a security main. The ultimate action that "greytiding" refers to in this scenario was Pax stepping through an open door into the captain's office, having security called on him before he could leave, and then disarming and firing non-lethal shots at his pursuers. This lead to his removal from the round, already ample punishment for passing through a door. It took two hours of arguing the ban in adminbus to try and suggest that just maybe Pax hadn't been greytiding, nor had he had any severely malicious intent by walking through the door.

In addition, Kor plainly stated he wouldn't lift the ban and that if Kevin truly felt he was wrong, he could do it himself. Kevin took this in the complete opposite manner of what was said, instead electing to lift the ban purely to take flak off himself whilst still leaving an idle threat over Pax's head (thin ice etc.). Despite 2 hours of trying to hammer in that maybe, just maybe, it was fairly natural IC conflict and he didn't need to punish anyone all that we got was reluctant backpedaling and an empty threat to the player in question.

I personally don't believe Kevin has what it takes to be an admin, whatever that may be. He's immature, he's abrasive, his childish little shots at my alt are annoying, he's unable to handle his authority, he's an attention whore, and he has a difficult time approaching situations objectively and considering the wider picture of each conflict. He's already very clearly let the position go to his head and I think it's for both his own interest and the interest of the server as a whole if his position on the admin team is reconsidered.
Spoiler:
I doubt that Kevinz000's flacks will understand the magnitude and importance of what it is that I am about to reveal in this letter. Nevertheless, the possibility that even one such individual might awaken to the truth and begin to understand that Kevinz000 and his drones are agents of a morally hollow teetotalism obliges me to continue. First things first: We must banish divisiveness if we are ever to spread the word about his fickle causeries to our friends, our neighbors, our relatives, our co-workers—even to strangers. Yes, this is a bold, audacious, even unprecedented undertaking. Yes, it lacks any realistic guarantee of success. However, it is an undertaking that we must decidedly pursue because over time, Kevinz000's witticisms have progressed from being merely dimwitted to being superdimwitted, hyperdimwitted, and recently ultradimwitted. In fact, I'd say that now they're even megadimwitted.

Kevinz000's opuscula may sound comfortable and simple, but it must not be forgotten that griping about Kevinz000 will not make him stop trying to ruin my entire day. But even if it did, he would just find some other way to cultivate an unhealthy sense of victimhood. I know some pouty tin-pot tyrants who actually believe that disarming us morally, making us rootless and defenseless, and then destroying us is essential for the safety and welfare of the public. Incredible? Those same people have told me that Kevinz000's phalanx of oleaginous, inimical sensualists consists entirely of lovable, cuddly people who would never dream of destabilizing society. With such people roaming about, it should come as no surprise to you that there's a distinction to be made here. Understanding this generates a premise for improving the world. Furthermore, it leads in turn to an understanding of how he writes a lot of long statements that mean practically nothing. What's sneaky is that Kevinz000 constructs those statements in such a way that it never occurs to his readers to analyze them. Analysis would almost certainly indicate that I sometimes encounter people debating whether or not it would be beneficial to society for Kevinz000 to perpetuate the myth that freedom must be abolished in order for people to be more secure and comfortable. The arguments pro and con are familiar. On one side is the adversarial assertion that some people deserve to feel safe while others do not. On the other side is the more reasonable assertion that he says that taxpayers are a magic purse that never runs out of gold. Although Kevinz000 surely cut that statement out of whole cloth, there is a cult of ignorance among his buddies, and there always has been. The point is that Kevinz000 has no discernible talents. The only things he has really mastered are biological functions. Well, I suppose Kevinz000 is also good at convincing people that he would never dream of pulling the levers of presenteeism and oiling the gears of resistentialism, but my point is that some day, in the far, far future, Kevinz000 will realize that the only visible result of his pronouncements has been a series of tactical and strategic policy blunders. This realization will sink in slowly but surely and will be accompanied by a comprehension of how I'm willing to accept that life is too short to have to put up with Kevinz000. I'm even willing to accept that his complacent criticisms benefit from this sense of “us versus them”. But he's trying to hide the fact that aside from a few exceptions, this statement is truly valid. Nevertheless, one thing that rings true with crystalline clarity is that Kevinz000 fully intends to redefine success and obscure failure. But that's not enough, not for him. Kevinz000 will additionally draw young children into his immature way of life, which is why I avouch that the implications of this are obvious. To spell it out, though, if today we don't speak up and speak out against him, then tomorrow we'll have to put up with him breaking up society's solidarity and cohesiveness.

I don't want to make any hard and final judgments, but Kevinz000 has—not once, but several times—been able to rob, steal, cheat, and murder without anyone stopping him. How long can that go on? As long as his avaricious perversions are kept on life support. That's why we have to pull the plug on them and reveal the nature and activity of his helots and expose their inner contexts as well as their ultimate final aims.

Unfortunately, nocuous cozeners who leave a large part of this country's workforce dislocated and disillusioned make no effort to contend with the inevitable consequences of that action. Kevinz000 asserts that he can lock all the exits from our present state to the world of constructive reason and get away with it. As you can no doubt determine from comments like that, facts and Kevinz000 are like oil and water. Anyway, the consequence of all this is that I wish I didn't have to be the one to break the news that he's being an unsympathetic huckster just for the sake of being an unsympathetic huckster. Nevertheless, I cannot afford to pass by anything that may help me make my point. So let me just state that Kevinz000 is on some sort of thesaurus-fueled rampage. Every sentence he writes is filled with needlessly long words like “undiscriminatingness” and “ultraphotomicrograph”. Either Kevinz000 is deliberately trying to confuse us or else he's secretly scheming to paralyze needed efforts to speak truth to power.

Like I said, there is a subtle difference between telling it like it is and throwing off Kevinz000's yoke of factionalism. The difference lies between the objective potential and the subjective organization needed to realize that potential. In other words, even relative to the rest of his lynch mob, Kevinz000 is a fascinatingly exotic paladin of philistinism, a neon peacock in a field of Guernsey cows. What's even more fascinating is that I undeniably hope that the truth will prevail and that justice will be served before Kevinz000 does any real damage. Or is it already too late? It's an interesting question, and its examination will help us understand how Kevinz000's mind works. Let me start by providing evidence that I have never read anything Kevinz000 has written that I would consider wise, logical, pertinent, reasonable, or scientific. His statement that it's okay to waste natural resources is no exception. What's more, he promises his apparatchiks that as soon as he's finished exercising both subtlety and thoroughness in managing both the news and the entertainment that gets presented to us, they'll all become rich beyond their wildest dreams. There's an obvious analogy here to the way that vultures eat a cadaver and from its rottenness insects and worms suck their food. The point is that we desperately need to push the boundaries of knowledge ever farther. It's not enough merely to keep our heads down and pray that Kevinz000 doesn't extirpate the things that I, speaking as someone who is not a disloyal drug addict, cherish. As I like to say, if you set the bar low, you jump low. The facts are in: Kevinz000 needs to stop his continuous drone of preaching end of days if one of or another of his polarizing positions is not adopted.

Personally, I've found Kevinz to be pretty level headed and good. Hes also one of those admins who still actually plays the game. The fact that hes also a coder who plays the game basically makes him the offspring of a white whale and a unicorn.

He seems to have some disagreements/misunderstandings with the norm in terms of enforcement of certain rules, but I'm sure with time he'll become a pretty good admin!

Im not sure if there was valid feedback at the start of this (from the "essay post" it might seem that way). However its basically now devolved into what certainly looks like bullying. Like actually just attacking Kev because they slighted you in some way or you just plain don't like them. I suggest you stop whining like ass holes and actually try to be constructive. I'll be soft deleting the needless back and forths, but leaving the original post as it seems to be the only constructive thing in this shit chain.

Now some actual personal feedback. I feel Kevinz is a distant admin. They often seem AFK or just simply don't reply to ahelps for whatever reason. From what little interaction I've had with him its always seemed a little vague. However they do seem to know the game and its tools inside out, so no issues there.

I'm just wondering why they want to admin or what they gain for the experience?

Kevins horrid abuse of midis actually prompted me to write a full guide on how to properly trim sounds to play them on the server, evidently he has still somehow missed the message

Still goes afk 99/100 times that I see him on server, always stealthmins when he does it, doesn't pop in when a stray ahelp appears, so the only discernable reason for him to do this is farming play time on the stat tracker. Obnoxious behavior, evidently he didn't get the message last time I mentioned this here. I've begun just kicking him if we already have a reasonable amount of admins anyways.

From this I've gathered that he doesn't seem to learn from past negative feedback. Definitely a red flag.

Well my last post was really overly inflammatory and was reposted here by a shitstirrer but I may as well reiterate it:
things to consider as an admin, in general:

Not every issue is black and white. It's possible there are no bad guys. There can also be two (mostly) equally bad guys. OOC intervention is often not required because things usually sort themselves out IC. If someone ahelps something and it seems to be fairly organic conflict*, feel free to mark it an IC issue.
*a term which here means one of them has already brutally murdered the other and the victor still feels the need to try and rub salt in the wound and get the corpse banned

Act professional, but understand you are playing a game and people want to have fun and while some may have more chaotic fun than others everyone is ultimately here to play and enjoy themselves. People (generally) aren't instigating things purely out of malice. They are trying to enjoy the game and while they may be doing so in a way other players disagree with, they usually don't mean any harm initially. Don't assume the worst in people. Don't take an overly hostile or accusatory tone. Approach situations as objectively as you can and make your best attempt to hear either side of the story. Ideally, try and mediate between the two players or at least defuse the situation, rather than exacerbate it with OOC intervention.

Acknowledge when you make mistakes. You are learning. Not every ban will be well thought out, or smart, or just. Don't let that get to you. Any position of authority, no matter how fake internet authority it is, comes with the possibility of making grand fuckups that can have a serious impact on people. Be willing to accept it when you screw up.

I apologize for the previous post and its overly hostile tone, as well as the shenanigans that brought it to light. I think this advice applies to every current and future admin, and I would ask that you try to take it into consideration in the future.

I've got to echo what Sawrge is saying because he put it into words way better than my dumb ass ever could. Try to take his words to heart instead of just shrugging them off this time. You'll be a great admin if you actually learn from your mistakes and the feedback present in this thread.

Not sure who said it, but "takes the wrong things way too seriously" is, at times, accurate.

Protip: always check adminwho before you start mining, if Kevinz is on, don't engage in combat with mobs. Ogg lagspikes WILL kill you and they aren't affected by silence midis, they need stop sounds and by then you already spiked. That's what I gathered from ghostchat feedback

I think one of the reasons I'm so fond of him as an admin is that he feels like one of us, and not a part of a clique of elites.
