Well RCJD,
The problem is that Armed is away and none of us have access to the blacklists. I knew this was going to happen so before Armed did leave, I asked him to change temp bans to 8 hours and I've also created a private log myself for all of our admins and mods to keep updated on who needs to stay off NC.
We do attempt to ban as much as we can but we also don't want to overuse it to the point where people will yell "ABUSE!", etc...
I will tell you right now though that our system will be a little more strict as soon as Armed comes back and the new plans I have written, I will hope Armed agrees to. These changes should make NC a lot better than it was.
Again though, please be patient with us and as soon as Armed returns, I will make him sit and we will have a long discussion. I will give him all the ideas I have and he can choose what is good and what to throw away. Just know that some of our high admins are about 25-40 years old so we all have jobs and family to attend to as well.
As a temp solution, I created a small chat room for all the NC mods and admins so if the mods go on AC, I can pop on and give them temp admin, then disconnect.
Also know that I have not even been in NC for a long time. I am actually new to it still but I have over 12 years of server/network hosting experience and 6+ years of administration experience in both massive online games (RuneScape as an example) and small ones (Call of Duty as an example). Having said that, I already know what needs to be done to make NC a better place for everyone, but I cannot do this alone.
I hope this clears something up.
Also to everyone:
If you have any ideas that you feel you would like to share with us to make NC better, PLEASE do so! We'd love to hear them!
