Add Adminhelping Guidelines to the Rules
Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2018 11:33 pm
I don't like adding to the rules since it's already really long for a free game but I think these would help reduce the amount of "Adminhelp: Hey just got killed, valid?" and banbait-like ahelps that occur on the server. This is about what it would look like on the wiki, rewording suggestions are of course welcome along with any other guidelines but these four should about cover it.
1. Be specific when adminhelping: Include as many of the following as possible: Who, What, Where, Why, and How. This information will reduce follow up questions and cause the ticket to get resolved faster.
2. Be upfront with admins about interactions with the ahelped player(s). At best, not being upfront will waste the admin's time, other players' time, and your time. At worst, not being upfront can get you banned for ban baiting. Lying is generally treated very harshly, so don't lie either.
3. Adminhelp at the time of the incident, not after the round has ended. Waiting to see if the player is an antagonist is not an excuse- it takes five seconds for an admin to check if the player is an antagonist or not.
4. Adminhelps should be handled on the server, not discord or another channel of communication.
