If your nightclub can only hold 4 people (counting yourself), then perhaps you would have a point. > You are saying that, I should not have control of who I can kick out of my > nightclub? If someone is trashing your nightclub (of you and 3 other people), then yes. Kick them out. If they are obeying the rules and not harming things, no. I don't think you should be able to. But this isn't a nightclub. This is more like 2 bikes you own that you left out in the park with a sign saying, "Anyone can ride these bikes", then pushing off people who ride them because you want to. > That's essentially what a server is, a club, it's operated by me, it is paid > for by me.

Actually, you rent servers mostly. You might not, but that's neither here nor there as we are talking about server owners in general and not how big your ... server... is. For TF2 and CSS and games that have bigger sizes, then yes. I would agree with you that you should have more control over this. But it isn't. It's a small server and it's not a nightclub.. No matter how much you want it to be. > Having some logic in my own club that allows a few troublemakers to > essentially throw me out of my own club is pretty ridiculous. If you offer a service to the public, then you should be willing to obey the public rule. You don't become a cop and say, "You know, I don't agree with that law. I'm going to shoot that guy anyway". > You obviously do not run a server with the kind of stance you are taking. I love your logic. Because I disagree with you, I don't run a server. :) You got me.. I don't have a server at all.. *chuckles* Apparently, if I owned a server (which I do), I would agree with everything you say. > If you do not like a server, open console, type... disconnect.

No one said that is hard. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
