Welcome Ninja-Gaming in IceOps!
The 7 years old Ninja-Gaming clan will join our IceOps-Gaming clan. That means new members will join us and we will get a HighJump server from them. I hope Ninja-Gaming can enjoy a good future within IceOps. Everyone of Ninja-Gaming is welcome here.
 
 

Right. I am going to stop you there.
 
@Kenai has given you enough reasoning as to why you should be banned as realistically, you have admitted you hacked. And also, you also said you torrented it.
 
From this, this appeal will be closed and you will not be unbanned.
 
Thank you for your time.

My friend, it's too late to give a warning, we need to stop this!
@$t0rM [= deserves a permanent ban on the forum and servers.
I am against insults anyone of our clan members. And our guy needs a serious warning!

So sad, I like his name

Admin Power abuse notice: To avoid further flaming on the forums please do NOT reply to any mod report.
Only the admin reported, super moderators and administrators can post there.
If you have some proof or any other thing pm ALL administrators and tell them whatever you want there.
This is only for the mod report section. We had some rage and anger in older threads.

Just to be clear about the language.. You just give them a warning and if it doesnt work you can kick them with a reason like : offensive language.
If they keep flaming and spamming words like ( Cancer this cancer that **** **** ) Just give them a temp-ban or a Chat-ban.
Also  you can not  Kick someone out of defense... If some one flames you hard you tell him to stop if that doesnt work read above.

Whenever you kick someone you need to have a valid reason.. There are no sush things as STORM or shut up.
You can not use SHUT UP !
 
You are an example. @610 *.*
 
I think you guys need to grow up and stop insulting eachother all the time.. If you dont like someone just ignore him.. 
Play the game and shoot instead of talk.
 
Let this be the final warning.
 
just enjoy gaming The only thing you need to say is GG when the game is over.
 

So we can warn/kick any player (even an other admin) just because we do not like his gameplay style?!? This way let’s warn, 
kick and ban every P90 players, or those who are using claymores, i hate claymores !
 
 From what I know, camping is still allowed but uncouraged thanks to the anti-camp system. 
 
We are not here to create rules but to apply them. If our counselors tell us to warn and kick campers the time that an other anti camp system is created (or not), then yes. So do we have to warn/kick a M21 player who find a way to camp easily with the anti camp system? 
Changes must be gradual, I don’t really think warn and kick campers is the good way to make these changes. It’s actually going too far. 

610, I am sorry you want to leave us because of that and I hope you will stay.

PS: I am not defending the campers, but even if they are annoying, they also are a big part of our players, we must do with it for now.

Every opinion must be heard!
We must understand that only together we become stronger.
If any of us need help we must provide it! But there are also time-tested moments.
Let's try to take everything into account and make the right decision!

Okay to put some stuff to rest.
 
Anticamp: It will never be implemented in such way that it stops people from camping. We have never nor will we ever forbid camping in any way, it is a legit way to play. Not everyone wants to just run and gun all the time. Current anticamp system is meant to just give a fighting chance to anyone hunting down a camper - which it does as intended. 
 
Killstreaks: They might be a bit overtuned at the moment, but you also need to keep this in mind - you have only 3 of them so they should be obtainable by a regular player and just fyi compared to before a lot of killstreaks have been nerfed heavily to compensate lower kill count needed. If this is such an issue that a majority of playerbase agrees on it can be temporary switched back to linear progression as before until cod4x19 arrives. 
 
 
And before i hear "but everyone agrees" - no they don't. I've actually heard more positive feedback that negative, it's just that a very few people are very vocal about it. It is impossible to make everyone happy, so best I can do is thread the needle and find a suitable middle ground.
 
 
And one interesting thing: Prior to update everyone was crying out loud how M21 and P90 are OP, in this update I had made a new damage system in which they were nerfed. Suddenly M21 is just fine, no problem. Well this system was disabled after 2 hours of it being implemented. All damage is as it was prior to update yet noone even noticed - funny isn't it?

Happy Belated Birthday IceOps and the Community!
 
Loved this clan and Community since joining and it's still kicking even after a decade!
 
 
 
And here's looking towards another Ten Years!

 
 
P.S; Lot's of nostalgia from those Xfire Screenshots, Makes me wish Obscurity was as popular as it was back in those days, Even the Zom DB was fun when I played.
 
-Kenai

Well even when that should become popular again, we would have to nerf our Kenai, otherwise everyone is running away. 

On the 20th may 2020, it was IceOps Gaming's 10 Year anniversary of being open. 
It was 10 years ago I (IJzzo) started IceOps in the beginning under the name Blue-Clan [Blu]. We started with multiple servers but two became very popular, Softcore mixed and Hardcore TDM.
 
After few month we did a merge our clan with few other players who had a clan called iPower. However we ended this relationship already after 1 week because there were (maybe unjustified) doubts they are clean players. From here we had to rename again and used IceOps as our name for the past 9 and a half years.
 
We added the mods Obscurity and Deathrun on our servers which became very popular and rose the interest in the IceOps community significantly. With the shutdown of the back then most popular Obscurity server "Retox Squad", our clan became the most interesting one for the Obscurity community and we got our second oldest member @Kenai who is still around today with us. I can not remember all the members we had before, over the years they were a lot, so I won't name any here.
When you have played on IceOps before 2015 then you are maybe interested in something we have prepared. The Xfire screenshots token by our players on our servers can be viewed now in the gallery under these links:

Obscurity + Zom DB
Deathrun
Deathrun#2 + Openwarfare custom maps
Hardcore TDM
Softcore Mixed
Openwarfare custom maps + (early)Deathrun
Sniperserver + Openwarfare2
Sniperserver + Deathrun#2
Promod
Zombies ZomDB
 
 
Time had been sometimes very hard with major internal conflicts, from today's point of few I had done some things different, but today we are still here and alive.
Over the time there has surely been some ups and downs. This could be from people leaving that were truly cherished at IceOps, to server updates and even brand new systems put in place for the better of the community like Sourcebans for example. 
Speaking now on behalf of the IceOps staff and myself, we would all like to say a huge thank you for continuing to be here. 
Running a community for so long has had its toll on the member count, but for the ones that are still here, you are not forgotten at all. We will surely be staying here running as long as you are here with us. 
 
Much Love
 
IceOps Staff

PS: I am not defending the campers, but even if they are annoying, they also are a big part of our players, we must do with it for now.

Just to catch this up here. What I am wondering, since when does our staff warn/kick each other? Did I miss something?
When the M21 does not get caught by the anti-camp system, I guess it was implemented like this on purpose and isn't a glitch.
In all seriously when you can not kill that guy camping there at the same spot for the whole game - I am sorry to say that - then you are probably not a good player or you are facing a cheater. You still have the advantage of knowing his position while he does not know from where you are coming from.
Camping is part of this game mode. If you don't like it play another game or gametype. We had the past 10 years no rules against camping nor an anti camp system. This did not stop the server from getting filled. Some players being mad about campers is something which also existed for the past 10 years, still the server did not go empty due to campers. If you don't like it play another game or at least not (Team)deathmatch.

Croda said it all  
 
I also agree with RedRose, hard camp is breaking the pleasure of a lot of players and that since COD exists. 
 
I understand KMB's point of view, his desire and involvement to make the server better (and sometimes more playable), but be careful about how you are doing it  
 
For exemple, do not warn and/or kick an other moderator , it's a friend and we must band together  
If you have a doubt contact a super admin or another member.
  Yes it's a good idea, recoil does not really exists on it and we can easily spray and one shot despite of the anticamp 
 
 
@610 *.* I hope you'll accept to stay with us and to know KMB better, he is not a bad guy
 

Interesting conversation and topic.
 
Some of you know that I am a player with pings in the 300+ range and that I don't sit still for long lol.
I know camping is allowed but I too do find that it is frustrating when you do get some that are able to camp in the same spot for the entire game and not be killed.
I have tried so many times to get to some of these campers without success and a large amount of death (I don't care about my KD)

It also frustrating when there are only certain ways to approach these players and you continues to get killed no matter what you do or how hard you try.
During some of these times, I just completely gave up and left, feeling that it destroyed my sense of fun playing.

IF only I was able to jump or fly above them to kill them lol (it would be a shock to the core)
Hmmm thinking along that line, maybe it could be earned when you get so many kills (instead of getting uav for VIP, we get to fly haha)
 
Okay, it not a good sight to see the admins here arguing about something that is affecting some of your regular players.
Honestly, I think the really hard core campers that has large amount of kills and no death should be warned to move to another camp spot if they still want to camp.
That way they are not camping in the one spot the whole map, move between camp spots instead.

Verbal warnings (ask them to move nicely  ) in game to begin with, if no action after asking 2-3 times(when you ask the 3rd time let them know that the next time will be a kick)(this gives them a chance to move) then I think the kick would work better than an admin warning.
 
I suggest all the admins needs to discuss this in private and come up with a solution that is fair on the campers and non campers. (Hence my suggestion above)
Cheers
 
Ohh and this is a really lovely, friendly family clan

I can just say, have some more patience for the fix.
Sadly we don't have enough skilled people to do anything fast.

As for the discipline measures. It's all in a very gray area of the rules,
so i don't think it should be argued about because it will make no point.
Gray area meaning: this is borderline against the "Don't make your own rules" moderator abuse,
and then again It is kinda violating the anti-camp.

Nobody is at fault here, we just need time to make a valid compromise.
And yes my apparent dad @Behemoth here is right, we try to be as much as a family as we can.
 
After watching some vids i think that we should even somehow add more recoil to m21 hah.
There's a video of a guy shooting the P90 with one hand on full auto with steady recoil... says it all.

I should also point out, we tend to blame the weapons, but that's not the root cause of the problem. The problem are the campers regardless of the weapon they use. If we ban M21, they will find another weapon that maybe isn't as OP but has similar effect, like Barrett or SVD, for example.

i am not good at long paragraphs m8 but i'll keep it short and simple what ever your facing about camping or any problems remember that iceops is more like a family and if your not considered one at the first place they havnt accepted you in the beginning man i am here as your brother we all here!!!
i also made a son here not even brothers @CROdator my lovely son    
IceOps is all about having fun and enjoy your time and i am certain that you shall change your mind for your brother here asking not to leave just feel free to tell me every thing i will always be here you  can ask other fella members just tell me all your passing threw 
Plus your our bounty hunter man the most guy who keeps the server clean imagine those hackers without you in the server they will be annoying more than campers trust me 
Hope you take my words into consideration my friend
