So, here I am reporting admin abuse by [BB]ArkUTD

Admin abuse #1

First off we were playing on Qwai AAS inf, I made a squad called CAS, little side joke not offending anyone, Mr almighty then rants down mumble all chat "I cant have CAS squad,disband it NOW!" to the enjoyment of half the server.
Low and behold he resigns my entire squad, ( but apparently my next squad name NOT CAS was allowed)

Admin abuse #2

Dragonfly ins, I made a spg squad not realising that the SPG was claimable by armour,fair enough! there was no armour squad at the start and for a good 10-15 mins INTO THE ROUND, so in this time we used a BDRM.
Mr almighty [BB]ArkUTD then pipes up on mumble saying he wants the BDRM because he has just made a armour squad,then precedes to taunt down mumble that he also gets the SPG.
So after reading the rules,we made a MECH INF squad to accommodate having the BDRM in our squad. During this time I had continuous warns from him,which in return I reported admin abuse due to the fact that we MECH INF get a APC.

This then resulted in me getting banned,and 2 of my clan mates getting banned by Mr almighty , and all the 8 MeRk members playing on PRTA leaving.

So to sum up,[BB]ArkUTD abuses his rights to get the assets he wants. Action needs to be taken against him as this isnt the first time this has happened on your server.

Until action is taken I myself,and most of the MeRk members will not be playing on your server while Mr almighty is there...

It needs sorting out Tobi!

since your last thread got closed, i figured id go back and copy/paste my previous post.

admins even here bro ?
asked to be switched 50 times, never got switched.
dude team killing in main reported 500 times. wrong guy got temp banned.
asked to clarify a rule - no response.
reported a troll - nothing happened.
reported solo of asset, nothing happened.
admin banned someone for "SHIT NAME"

-snip- please keep your feedback constructive - Mod

If admins are unwilling to switch people, the auto-balance needs to be set in a way that you can switch on even.

Why is !admins disabled again? I remember one reason for it before was that prism admins did not show, now they do. Dont see any reason to hide admins since prta is one of the only servers where you very rarely will see "None" anway

because its a poor excuse of a server where there admins think there gods so they dont want you knowing who they are

Prism was one reason and we also don't want to let people know when there is no admins online as this almost certainly leads to mass tk and other actions detrimental to organized teamwork.
Instead of doing !admins you can also just ask for an admin in all-chat or team-chat.

However, I am forwarding this question to our admin forum. Thanks for the feedback Mats.

I thought your PM to me yesterday was an attempt to solve this issue without creating drama out of it. I'm sad to see you fooled me.

As for the reply you got via pm would you be so kind and at least confirm the following statement?
We discovered that there actually wasn't a rule broken by ark and that the main core of the complaint is the conduct and attitude of the reported admin towards you and your clan members.

FYI I posted here first, due to the fact that people need to know and that the admin in question can reply and justify his actions.I dont accept putting things down to drama to try and dissolve the fact of what happened and hope the issue will go away.
As I said before Ark causes drama and will continue to cause drama as long as he is a admin on your server.


As far as I am concerned Ark broke the number one fundamental rule as a admin by banning people for assets.
Also the conduct of him and the way treated people with a complete lack of respect is the second though of concern.

That PRTA has set a low bar for its past admins aswell as the present ones is not any news. But guys, I am really interested by what criteria you choose your admins and through what mechanism do you keep them in check?

Here also admin abuse by ArkUTD

In what world you live in? He is NOT stupid to send you PM and you can forget about it and act like nothing happened. Your admins treat players like garbage including YOU. Until you solve this out you will see many negative feedback about your server. And it should be like that.

I was flabbergasted too when I saw Ark resigning people out of a CAS squad when there is no CAS to begin with. Everybodym who's knowledgeable with the in-built asset list or the asset layout on the maps from memory would've been able to realize that it was most definately a joke on Bluffer's part. Ark resigning people was quite silly, wouldn't exactly file that under "abuse" like Bluffer did but rather him being a wee bit strict, a spoilsport.

Prism was one reason and we also don't want to let people know when there is no admins online as this almost certainly leads to mass tk and other actions detrimental to organized teamwork.
Instead of doing !admins you can also just ask for an admin in all-chat or team-chat.

Hahahaha, 9 times out of 10 I don't even get a reply, even if it turns out later on there was most definately an admin present when I asked. So, all in all, I get the feeling that this "we don't want people to know whether or not an admin is present" is a cheap excuse for not answering to our requests(to quote multiple people: "I asked x times for a switch that I never got."), to hide the who's online and fucked up or can't be arsed to deal with simple requests for whatever reason. Don't believe me? Look no further than Mac's comment, it's like that more often than I bet both of us would like. I'm find myself contemplating going to HOG or Hardcore over PRTA because of this, a year ago this thought would've never crossed my mind.


On a positive note, the server recently unloads and loads maps much quicker than before. Previously I could go shopping in between mapchanges.

The !admins command is really important for your guests because they need to know which admins are on.
Especially when admin mistakes/abuses happen. Spamming all chat shouldnt be a good option.

Kicking/resigning Bluff for such a small joke, obviously there isnt any CAS, causes unnessesary drama/trouble/work and destroys the gameplay for 50 other guys. Apart from that everyone knows that Bluff is the complete opposite of a troll and feedback should be taken serious...

Rules are rules though, specific names are meant for specific assets. I know it's a joke, but still, trying to keep the gameplay on a more serious note.

Why can't you make a squad that claims nothing though? Inf squad are allowed and they don't claim anything, so what's the problem?

When Iceman points out one of your admins abusing his rights, fair enough if it gets ignored.
If MeRk are pointing out the same thing from the same person it's probably worth taking seriously. Bluffer may have been a tiny bit over dramatic with the initial post, but it's clear that there was some serious problem. I've known Bluffer a fairly long time, and I can say with 99% certainty that if Bluffer gets banned, the problem is with the admin and not him.
In this case it's even more obvious since this isn't the first time this admin has done this.

Project Reality Server Rules | PRTA - Project Reality Teamwork Alliance


Yes rules are rules so please take your time to read them. The only way our squad should of been disbanded is if it was offensive??

Now for the administration side disrupting game play indirectly or directly is against your server rules and obeying server rules ?

As a long standing member of the Pr community I would suggest listening to this feedback from people that have been playing a lot longer then most

Just witnessed a full Armour squad get resigned because it was spelled ARMOR!

what a joke, I believe Admin responsible was Vatsug, as he made sure he had a spot on the rightly spelled Armour squad

What a joke

So, 1 week since my report of PRTA's admins actions.

No response,No Action taken on said admin.

And the admin abuse continues.... How long will this be allowed to continue? abusing the players who frequent your server surely is against the licence agreement.

It is unfortunate the this is only European server up early.

I join a squad play tank, get bombed. I took a HAT to help out my tank squad. Admins spam warnings and CAPS LOCK non stop and I write on allchat, caps lock mania, and I get warned to shut up and to get out of their business. I write to my friends in squad chat thank god I can write in squad. I get this: TEMP BANNING DUSAN - lone wolfing with no teamwork. Lone wolfing with one of the most important kits in game, a HAT. ( I was running towards an enemy tank) Quality server and admins, they can do what ever they want and have no repercussions of their actions.

Every player that is good or better than good is a target for their admins.

When you need a switch no admin will respond. When they are asking for a reason to kick/ban some one they will make one up. They are warning people who play this game everyday and are good teamplayers for no mic and kicking them.
If you say something, suggest a map or complain after admins set 4 forest maps in a row you get called a little ***** by their head admin.



Good mature admining right there.

Good server to avoid.
