AU18 Admin Abusing use of the Global Chat

[xDIx Revenge 51]

Hey guys.

I recently hopped home servers after some run in with possible hackers (not accusing, was just a very suspicious situation).

We decided to change servers and make a new camp.

On this new server, AU18, which hasn't been around for more then a week, at least on my server lists, the admin seems to be up to some funny stuff.

Not only are the zombies performing badly (being frozen, theres over 700 zombies in game, along with 50 players, which i find strangely high), and items not spawning correctly, but im constantly paranoid when the admin, or atleast a hacker who has seemed to make himself look like the admin, talks over global chat.

Now the server says as you log in "Do not believe anyone saying they are the admin, I will never reveal myself". But the player currently named "A Zombie" in the game, has 'admin' written next to his ping in the lobby, and is able to talk on a global chat, when no one else can.

Is this ABUSE of power? Or is it a hacker pretending to be an admin? I honestly got very scared when i first heard the voice, thinking someone was in direct near my newly found Ute.

Thanks,

Revenge

Global chat or Admin Global chat (red font?).

I use it all the time, nothing wrong with that.

Pretty sure the admin was just screwing around. As long as he doesn`t break any rules..who cares..

You`re paranoid :)

Sorry.

By global chat i don't mean the red font that is normally just alerts or serverside messages.

I mean the blue one, side chat i believe? That used to be in the game but was removed.

He was talking in that to what seemed our entire "team", Bluefor.

And it was kinda annoying, as he was saying stuff to kinda suggest he was nearby, probably freaking out more then just me aha. I want my ute dammit!

That is how globa chat is received from an admin (With BLUEFOR), Also there is currently an issue where if you have a server that does not have sufficient CPU to work with, it will spawn lots and lots of zombies, and they will stand there in a holding gun animation. Sounds like a noob admin

Actually, for me to be logged in as admin, it forces me to have *admin* after my ping, also i had global chat left on after doing a server message and have talked in global chat by accident once or twice.

What i am reffering to in those messages is the people that come on labled "Owner" "Administrator" "Moderator".

And yes, as the server has been up only about a week, there is still a few issues with it, and i am a bit nooby when it comes to administrating it.
