The only reason I put this here is because it happened on the Prop Hunt server just now. There was a young kid by the name of "V.I.P. Dream Killer" (but with a bunch of odd characters in his name that roughly reads that) who admited to only being 12 years old. I told him that due to the violent nature of the game (TF2 being rated M for Mature), I would have to speak with his Mother or Father and make sure he had permission to play with us. For legal reasons, you understand. So, he actually went and got his Mother and put her on Voice Chat with us. I'm not joking. I politely and professionally introduced myself as an Admin of the server, and explained that the game was in fact rated M for Mature, and did she give her Son permission to be playing it. She gave it and thanks me for asking, and all in all was very pleased that someone responsible was looking out for the children who play. We could not believe it. The rest of the server was quite shocked and we all shared quite the chuckle... EDIT: All in all, I'm impressed he listened to me and actually went and got a Parent as requested. Who knows, we may actually have a new member of the Servers who LISTENS TO THE DANG ADMINS ONCE AND A WHILE!!!
We are polite, we are GM, we are pleased to help. All in all I am asking this. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE NOWADAYS. Even though he was 12, you would think he would understand that this was a joke and that he didn't need to ask his mom. Well, lawsuits avoided, I say you did a fine job.
OH MY GOD SO THAT IS WHY RAHKA PUT ON THE ADMIN BIT, "Please Get your parent permission to play this game if you are under 15" cant believe i missed that. How old was this mum of his? ;D
OMG what was awesome I wish i could of been there but i was having 200 gravity medic only match on my server
Good work Jack! It's good to see people upholding the way things should be! Sad I missed it though...
