Why SGS is no longer a viable server option for SA Gamers!

Point noted

I did not know I could use a prepaid account for gaming as well. I thought I could only use a prepaid account for the steam content server.

SGS's Team Fortress 2 servers are/were the most cliquey, madly moderated servers ever. Ill-appointed admins just let their friends grief everyone, and nobody could complain about it. I stopped playing on them about 18 months ago already. Good latencies mean nothing when the social environment is so toxic.

You have some what the wrong idea! The SGS admins did their jobs by the ROE,the admins were not the problem the ROE was. When I was a SGS admin I did my job by the book and whether the player was my friend or not I handled the situation evenly, I have banned friends from the SGS server's! They knew the rules but thought they could get away with them.

Then Ely went and added an auto ban feature on all the server's which aurtomaticly banned any one who said a "bad" word. In my opinion this was a stupid idea on SGS's part,we were flooded with queries where some people spelt impossible wrong and got banned. it also banned users that we had given a warning to which made matters worse!

This all lead to the falling of SGS but I now believe that WAGE has or will make that gap even wider with this freezone offering.

Maybe you did a proper job of being an admin, but others didn't. _enemy has had a long career griefing the hell out of everyone over on SGS (and making videos of it that everyone's seen on YouTube), and nothing ever happened to him.

The OP reads (and sounds) like the following:

1/ A disgruntled employee, complaining about individual entities / people and airing the 'dirty laundry' in public.

2/ Advertising / Selling a specific (competitor's) service.

These are 2 things that should not be done together, it makes you look immature, desperate, filled with a grudge and resentment and, most importantly, it is unprofessional and lacks integrity.

For the record - I don't have any affiliation with SGS or WAGE... just calling it like I see it.
