Well, I have had enough. People are acting like i randomly choose names and IP's out of a hat. No other admin has to do security holes I am asked to do and I am still getting my name slammed.

You guys win.

Hackers on all AOS-FORTRESS servers will no longer be reported thanks to the successful flame war held here.

Your actions have succeeded.

THIS IS VOLUNTARY, no one is forcing me to do this, This is my own doing.
I am just not going to be insulted for trying to help out again. I have swallowed my pride time and time again to try to make this work. I have even been requested to make backdoors so other admins can freely roam about my servers.

Hopefully Bcoolface makes a registration system soon so peoples names can no be slammed as easy by the people who are bent on ruining this game.

Well, guys enjoy your victory.

ALL BANS HAVE BEEN LIFTED! please have fun hacking guys!

+1 hackers!

POSTING IN AN EPIC THREAD

Well I'm not surprised. You got so much flame from banning hackers, lets see how the server goers like it MWAHAHAH!

Oh great another troll plot by RoT is successful.

You lifted the bans? you spineless bastard, you could have just left the forums and kept the bans.

JoJoe, get on IRC and talk to me. I'm not convinced all the bans were illegitimate.

DE, wut

Oh great another troll post by DE blaming RoT.

*A negative statement against everyone but raising my own awesomeness.*

...STOP THE MADNESS! *shoots everyone on the thread*...*shoots self* I'm supossing this will be another topic closed by not the topic but the people arguing about it.

@DE

It wasn't just RoT who wanted the bans lifted, you know. Some of those bans were innocents, banned because they criticized JoJoe's maps.

EDIT: Also, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQmndFkp07A

@khan

I disagree with this > "because they criticized JoJoe's maps."

Show me the proof? ill be more tempted to believe you.

@Slayer:
If you're not politely answering then don't post.
You are warned.

Jojoe you must realize that most of the people trying to slander your name already have a bad rep. Their words dont carry much weight since their only tactic is too slander someone they dont agree with.

Just going to make this clear. I wasn't able to talk to Jo about this situation, I just saw that a good portion of the bans were lifted. It seems to me that this was done because of attempted (and what seems to be successful) defamation. Because of this, Jo was enticed to lift all bans to save himself from scrutiny. I think this is a good time to note that said scrutiny was largely revered by those who don't have the most positive reputations of their own.

Because the bans were lifted for this reason, if I fail to receive a response from Jo, I will personally reactivate the bans and users can take it up with me. Thanks.

@stack

Sensible.

@Thunder:
Read Stack's post and learn. Quit harassing him.
Warned.

:\ Why always blame the RoT people?

I never explicitly said RoT, but the fact that it comes to peoples minds kind of speaks for itself.

Why, in the world, would someone hate on an admin?!

1) That's totally stupid, knowing they can ban like *click*

2) They're pretty awesome, most of them. They help around with servers, hackers, griefers, and ect.

3) They're pretty good people. They work hard to help us with problems. The other day one of them helped with a votekick problem.

4) They dont deserve hate! For example JoJoe works hard on his maps and servers, he doesn't deserve crap like this.

5) All of , mid-age the, above!

If they're getting hate like this do you expect them to be softies? I believe with this going on they have the right to ban any1, and every1.

@DE, contrary to what you might think, no one gives a shit about what you have to say.

Seriously.

Especially after I caught you lying about your little illegitimate votekick spree.

JoeJoe

While I already knew you were incompetent, I am glad that you have finally admitted it yourself.

Cheers.

@DE Get zowned by Pomf

Is JoJo serious?
All maggots will whine to admins they are innocent though they did use hacks/griefing of the sort.
And you let 'em win?
NO.
Step up, be a trueadmin and say: I don't give a fuck. You used hacks. You get banned. We dont want hacking. Rules are rules.
HOW FUCKING CLEAR DO I HAVE TO BE

Though Jojo banning someone for critcizing your map negatively is part of life. Like griefers.

^True. Your an admin for a reason. You can do, mostly, as you please. SO DO IT!

No one blames RoT. Some of their members names and IP addresses get wrongfully listed on the ban list by multiple admins randomly is all. It is all just a big conspiracy by multiple admins, because we feel like abusing random people. --- YEAH! Right!

No one has ever blamed RoT as a whole. Some of their member just got caught is all. I am their main focus so they dont mention the bans they have on other servers.

I dont think RoT endorses hacking, and I have a feeling they frown upon the members that do.Their actions reflect on the image of the whole group. Seems absurd that they would back any cheating or hacking.

As far as me putting on a pink dress and reporting to the principals office, you guys can come to mine for a change.

You are no longer an authority on me, or my property. I don't trust your judgement with my public image for obvious reasons.

As far as the bans go, if you publicly even hint that one is wrongfully posted makes the entire system loose credibility. It gave these guys all the ammo they needed to trash me, and every other new admin in the future.

I advise against re-instating any ban I have made. Thanks to publicly questioning me, any bans I have made have no credibility. Therefore the ban list has no public credibility if my bans are listed.

Sorry we were mad, jojoe. I'm sure we just got the wrong idea about the bans. The only person who blamed us is DE.

Ah, does this mean you'll be leaving us JoeJoe?

"1) That's totally stupid, knowing they can ban like *click*"

That is a horrible reason. If you think someone is abusing their power, then you have every right to question them, and others about it. You shouldn't be scared of doing so.
