New group and better performance

[DarKevin]

Hey guys,

After another Aimbot encounter, which could only be solved because I actually happened to be online (sorry -.-) I've been thinking about adding a new group to the server.

This new group, I think I'll name it Trusted, would be the next higher rank after respected and will be able to kick other players immediately, instead of having to start a vote for it + maybe some other benefits, ill think about it.

It would be meant as a rank for players who have been with the server for a relative long time, the community of the server.


And about the performance:

Apparently, there have been a lot of server crashes recently, which were caused by a previous update. Another update to fix those has already been released however, I've got a tip from the server host:
Nitrous Networks. They sent me the link to an addon called Acecool Networking System, which is supposed to improve the servers performance by reducing the load on the server with more efficient network code. I cant guarantee for anything though, since it just was added to the server to be tested.

Also, with another recent server update, I noticed the frame stuttering (shaking weapons while you walk) and also stuttering while driving, were essentially gone! I was already thinking about replacing SCars with something else, but now we might actually be able to have a Mario Kart race, without lag!

Next thing I will look into will be implementing an E-Mail reporting system for the server (I already tried before, but had problems with getting it to work). It would allow anyone to contact me via E-Mail through a menu while on the server, and I check my E-Mails whenever I'm bored, that means frequently

That's it for now, I hope you enjoy the server.

And from that day forward, the only trusted rank was Nemesis.
You should really think about using this rank more.

I think we should be trusted (after 2 years you oughta develop some kind of trust ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

Come on can we get this group back to life?

Only one Trusted player, says a lot about the other players, if you ask me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

For example, the amount of people who don't abuse and break rules behind staff's back, and who don't start doing it after a while, is pretty low.
And the rest is already becoming moderators or admins.

I should update this as the requirements for trusted rank are pretty high, and to those who would achieve it, I would give all kinds of perks which other people couldn't be trusted with.
If I can really trust someone, I basically wouldn't need to restrict anything to them (though some restrictions are there to prevent them (also mods and admins) from accidentally messing up server settings or unknowingly use forbidden weapons)
You'd get all kinds of perks while not being obligated to take care of the server.
It's basically better than moderator, or even admin.

Something tells me that you now want Trusted rank even more ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Mods don't have noclip and godmode and all that fancy shit though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Think again what I meant by "no restrictions".
