TestingM Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Got asked a question on the Mario Kart server... without creating an account on HG how does a normal player get hold of an admin? I know on another server an ordinary player types !admin or !getadmin and at some point an admin appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgdallas Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 They can get a hold of an admin by simply finding one in chat. I'm also sure there are ways to talk to admins in chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalshot Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Come into teamspeak and ask for an admin. Or if you see something happening and want to report it you post a report in HG Bans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StyleeZy Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 As stated above, best way is to come into teamspeak and get ahold of anyone in the helpdesk (even if they arent TF2), they still have the fastest chance/ways to get ahold of a TF2 admin if they are not one themselves.

TestingM Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 There tend to not be admins on Mario Kart / Orange very often. Also TS, as I recently discovered is near useless without the poke command which nobody gets by default. Therefore you cannot poke someone in the helpdesk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TestingM Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 OK, so we have: - setup an HG account and post in relevant forum - Login to TS and poke someone on the helpdesk (thanks Digi) Neither options are exactly hassle free? The player mentioned that they wouldn't really want to setup an account for a one off admin request so I think it's unlikely they would install software. Is it possible to add something like !getadmin? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajolt Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Is it possible to add something like !getadmin? The issue with having a request admin command is the paid admin system. Now if we limited it to advisors+, we have the chance of it being abused or people being punished for abusing it when they thought they called an admin in for a valid reason. I am also unfamiliar with how those commands work, but that Is a separate issue. Another solution is adding one of us on steam. The entire Mario kart "community" knows the name of pretty much everyone in tf2 leadership. They can just notify us via steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TestingM Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 The steam friend idea sounds promising. I could always use more friends lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 lol, don't play in the morning. Just a hint a lot of the tf2 admins are from the US of A and are in bed at 3AM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
