kicking players?

Hey there. For the very first time, I just got kicked. And I don't think it was a mod, just a guy I ****** off because I killed him. Can normal people kick now? I just installed the expansion so I don't really know yet.

I was about to score in Greed-VCTF-Suspense, and got killed almost when having reached the enemy flag point with 27 skulls. I was killed by a raptor. I knew the guy would pick up my skulls and ride with his raptor to our base to score them himself. So right when I spawned, I hop into a bender and head for my own flag point. I arrive, position myself and wait, and after a nice 7 seconds the guy comes with his raptor and I kill him.
The guy thought I was camping. I was not. I just anticipated his attack. He flamed at me, and then said

"Bye bye."
So I thought he was going to leave. But a few seconds later I get the screen which leads to the main menu, with a sentence on it in freaking German. I didn't really understand what it said, but it was something in the likes of 'you've been kicked out of this map' (obviously).

I couldn't even defend myself. The only thing I could say between the flaming and the "Bye bye" was : "No, I didn't camp, I knew you'd come within 20 seconds..."

How democratic...

Players can vote to kick you. Or, and admin can.

Are you sure you were only kicked and not banned? Only an admin can ban.

But yes, it sounds very unfair to me.

lol, he's just a lamo. Play on other servers.

I do that all the time. I remember where I die and who killed me and anticipate where they're moving. On suspension I've been killed below the bridge by mantas with plenty of skulls so when I spawn I grab a stinger and aim for the hill where I know they'll emerge and sure enough here comes that enemy in his manta kindly bringing my skulls right back to me. >: )

I finally found somebody online who ****** me off enough to actually curse at him (team killing in overtime vCTF so he could try and steal the enemy flag) and at the end of it I just left, there are enough servers (especially in Greed) that you don't have to deal with people like that.

im sorry, but it was a struggle to read that.

with any online game you are going to have poor losers that will call you a hacker, spam/flame you, and/or try to kick you. but i guess what you can do is just find another server and try to avoid that moron.

Belgian, it really sounds to me like that guy was the admin/hosting the server. Just go play somewhere else where scrubs don't make the rules.

Some noob banned me about a year ago for "spamming" (whatever that means) in his deathmatch server

You can think of your first server banning as your graduation into the ranks of decent players.

While there are multiple definitions of spamming, the one that is most likely to get you kick/banned from a server is posting something like "LOL what a n00b" ten times in five seconds -- the repetition is the spamming. Getting banned for this is hardly a recognition of any kind of skill. Obviously I don't know what actually happened when you got banned, so there's no way to tell whether you or the admin was the one being a jerk.

When noobs say spamming they mean spamming fire i.e. shooting a weapon at them...

LOL, I've been a UT admin for several years and I don't kick or ban good players. In fact I hardly ever kick or ban anyone but I'll tell ya what I will kick ya for in a heartbeat. If you come on my clans server and tell me that the server sucks. I spend several hours a week tweaking, modifying, testing and uploading and setting the server to suit our paying members. Then some idiotic child comes on and tells me it's ****. I'll give ya one warning then you are toast after that.

If you join a server and you don't like the style of play, settings, weapons, maps, etc... Just leave or go to that clans website and tell them nicely what you have a problem with. Trust me you'll make a much better impression and who knows they might see it your way. You might even make a few friends in the process. It's a lot harder to do any of that if you're banned.

As for the "noob" that banned you. Well think of it like this -That "noob" probably pays $250.00 a quarter to host the server that you were playing on. Until you are paying the bills consider yourself a guest. Would you let that guy come into your home and do anything he wanted to?

Usually the person calling someone a noob is actually the real noob.

That may be true; it certainly is one of the multiple definitions of the term, to which I referred. OTOH, I've never met an admin who bans people for engaging in that definition of spam...perhaps for spam-fire when friendly-fire is turned on a player is engaging in wanten team-killing as a result of his spam-fire, but it is unlikely that the admin would call this just "spamming." I stand by my original statement...

...and JD8's comments were right on too.

Ding, ding, ding, Tell him what he's won!!!!

This hits the nail on the head. If you go to a server that other people pay for and criticize their servers/players, that's the easiest way to get banned.

I'm one of the admins for the 7 servers we host and as long as your not being a total ***, or calling the server ****, you won't get kicked. It normally takes a lot to get banned from our servers. Be disrespectful to the server/players/admins and you will be remove, either temporarily or permanently.

Spamming can either be just typing the same messages over and over in chat, saying the same stuff in voice chat or just excessively using weapon in the same area, usually spawn camping, or the like, of the enemy's spawn points with Goliath or SPMA, for example.

No, they are not.
