Bleak that tf2.co.za didn’t advertise this.
IS did advertise
Found that out afterwards, as far as I know, these people are here mostly for TF2?
It’s all for TF2
Then my point exactly :/
TRAIL ADMINS LMAO
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/trail
vs
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/trial
Before it gets edited, I’d like to make note that every time the word trial comes up – it was initially “trail”
tyvm enemy, at least I provided some good laughs 🙂
Congratulations to the newly chosen IS Trial Admins!
PS: I’d admin a trail any day!
We apologize for not publishing the TRIAL admin positions opening up on tf2csa. It was only advertised on IS gaming. Should any of these admins fall out, their positions will open up.
so GOD DAMN RACIST that my whole team is admin except for me. Consider this a formal complaint…
I think its proof that you’re the bad apple in the team 😛
amg no wai!
haha shame bro
That isn’t me in the picture lol.
There we go. That is me.
LOL Paci :P. At least they spelt your name right :/.
Possibly the worst photo of me :<
I thought you looked very handsome :), but I can change it to the pole dance pic?
HENCEFORTH why you dont have people on your facebook to get pics.
PEACOUT
Surely after pole dance pic….all pics are fair game 😉
Wait. Is that picture photoshop’d of fish?
I actually didnt know there were THAT many admins. Keeping us in place hey 🙂
Is why I made post. Arn3, where’s your post abt Rage pics you took?
I havent uploaded them yet….my laptop crashed…so had to reinstall everything this week. Also, I am not sure as to what exactly you mean by “my post”, as I am not an editor on tf2.co.za . But I will upload the pics of rAge this afternoon ok 🙂 will keep u updated on steam
Umm … How can Skeletor be admin … he is VAC banned? Just asking.
This post is old. (October 12 2011)
He is still admin so …
If he’s VAC banned he can’t play on any servers, how did you see he was VAC banned? By looking at his profile?
Yes
VAC banned on your steam profile doesn’t mean he’s VAC banned for TF2.
http://www.vacbanned.com/view/detail/id/76561197975285230
…
And still … If he was not banned for TF2 he still hacked something so what is stopping him from hacking TF2 aswell ?
Asked him what the ban was about and why:
7:52 PM – =IPP= Skeletor: was cs 1.6 about 8 years ago
7:52 PM – =IPP= Skeletor: friend played on it
7:52 PM – =IPP= Skeletor: and hacked
umm … its 2012 atm so – 8 years = 2004 and he has been a member on steam since 2005, and he could have made it up … his rep would be ruined if somebody finds out he is hacking cuz admin is supposed to ban/kick hackers.
Angry troll is angry 😛
Yea well tf2 aint really fun these days … when a guy that has never played tf2 before playes and never misses a shot , just headshot after headshot. After a while even that will piss off the best players tf2 has to offer right ?
:/
Who’s that? And there are a lot of players who used to play this game that you might not know who are playing after a long time.
Which ‘best players’ are getting pissed off?
I’m talking in general … But lets not deny the fact that the game is free now and it is going to get hacked. But lets take a look at this guy http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198034228352, he has been playing from Apr 12 2011 and has played 118.4 Hrs. He doesn’t miss…
I can give u more examples.
Error, there are precedures for accusing people of hacking, which we do take very serious. Post your concern with your evidance on IS gaming. We look at every single query and we are quick to act. Yes, I agree, things have been hectic because TF2 is F2P, we therefore appreciate it when player’s like yourself brings it under attention.
Post the name and the evidance, we will get on it. If you in game and you see someting is off, just pm an admin to join your game. A hacker stands out like a sore thumb, this is not someting thats out of control tbh.
Happy fragging
Its not so easy … i was busy one day spectating a guy cuz he didn’t miss , he was raping through my team but when i spec him he missed targets that are standing still. So somehow they know when u are spectating them so u cant really get evidance. If u can remember not so long ago a guy named “RED” was playing and when u and Aesir spectated him he also joined spec so … yea really hard to get evidance.
And I have joined the community.
Hi!
I would like to air my view on the current admin situation on the various pub and pickup servers
From the above list of +-25 players there are probably only 5 players who are still active and more than half of these people have completely strayed away from tf2.
There are hardly ever any admins online these days.
I really feel that IS needs to review these admins and open applications again.
Not even sure if there are admins on the MWEB and gamerzone servers or who they are.
There are many active players, who have been in the community and competitive scene for a long time, who play in the pubs and participate in mixes/pickups on a daily basis, who are responsible enough (and old enough) to fill this seemingly non-existing role.
Peace
It feels like, since I posted this, majority of these admins have been making effort to play tf2.
#myworkhereisdone
Some of us still around but yes not really taking care of the TF2 servers perhaps they should re-open applications.
You can comment here (http://www.isgaming.co.za/forum/20) instead for IS TF2 related stuff mate 🙂
