Administrators: Server Rule 1.2.

[Spear]

The rule is mostly used against people who aren't violating a specific rule (we can't cover everything you know.. And we can't predict everything either) but are doing something detrimental to the server, or to players on the server.

If you look like it as a loophole for the admins, I guess that's fine and partly true. However, considering how rarely it is used, it's easy to see that it hasn't been abused. It's been used what, 5 times in total?

Things like this are necessary, which is unfortunate. And even though it covers a lot of things, admins still have to have a reason as to how a player is harming server gameplay. It's not a trump card they can use whenever and wherever.

I just don't want to see this turn into another 'Admin conspiracy!' flame thread.. A flame thread that is difficult for admins or mods to lock because it'll only make those people scream conspiracy more, even though what they are doing is deserving of a lock.

Dab nailed it on the first page.

The recent fiasco with Niezck is reason enough to have this rule in place. We can't predict every type of violation and have a specific rule against it, if we did, the server rules would be impossibly long.

Law has to be an adaptive thing, as it is in reality when the courts make a decision it creates a precedent, a guideline for all future action when dealing with similar offences.
