    (didn't know if this should've gone in suggestions, but seeing it would offend others I went here)

    A lot of you probably play on the TF2 Harpoon Gaming servers, and think it's a lot of fun. But some of you also know the admins occasionally toy with their powers, they may do things like "rocket other players" jokingly, upgrade their weapons, or other things that involve giving them the advantage. Do you have an issue when the admins do this? I personally enjoy when they do because it shows the admins being playful, and messing around like good-hearted people. This thread (although low moderation compared to other's) is mostly just to show what some of Harpoon Gaming members think about this, and depending on their opinions, is just a suggestion. Say if maybe 2 out of 14 people have an issue with it, it isn't a serious issue, but should be limited a bit.

    Please participate in the poll, and feel free to comment your opinion on the manner.

    As long as there is a valid reason for using the command / power there's nothing really to complain about.

    The highly abusable powers are only given to higher-ups that are trustworthy enough not to abuse them anyway lol.

    I definitely don't approve of staff just rocketing people randomly, although I do understand the need for the use of powers in a joking manner.

    See: my Shortstop

    Overall, I believe it's important to be light hearted and know when to enforce rules.

    I'm happy to see that we already have 9 votes, and nobody voted "yes"

    Usually makes me glad to see admins messing around. To me it means they enjoy the servers just as much as the rest of us ;)
