There are two issues in this thread and one of them is a valid concern! The pecking order in IDL servers is not concrete, it&#039;s not enumerated and it&#039;s generally controlled by the community. This is a reasonable issue to address. <br /><br />The second issue is dumping on Fastidious. To be honest none of you have been that nice to him ever so I&#039;m not sure why he&#039;d go out of his way for you in the slightest. Courtesy is a two-way street. <br /><br />On the issue of a pecking order, I look at it as a discretionary thing rather than an IDL rule. I have given a slew of people rcon to TT and a couple people have direct server access. By and large this prevents people from acting foolish in server. There are moments where disagreements arise. Usually they are worked out without much of a fuss. Often times administrators (commish/board) make decisions as to who can stay and leave. Unfair as this may seem, it&#039;s the system we function under. Some people are kicked unfairly. Some people get to watch unfairly. There is a reason for this. Life isn&#039;t fair. <br /><br />In this case I don&#039;t see why Fastidious should have had to leave. Not only where there 2 administrators on MAD, Mass was in the server. If&nbsp; bones is casting then there are some merits to his staying, however I would say that the candidate to give bones a spot would have been Joshsmith. One unwritten rule of watching IDL games is that people who participate get first dibs on spots. Why trash Fastidious before one of the 3 (or 4) people in the server who have rcon just kick Josh with a kindly message of (PLEASE SIGN UP FOR IDL NEXT SEASON!). Oh wait, is this thread about flaming Fast? It sure seems like it.<br /><br />I am not against the board discussing and eventually creating a rule regarding IDL spectating. Hell I&#039;m all for having no spectators and just doing a cast. It would allow our entire community to watch and, if put on some delay, would go a long way to preventing the possibility of spectator cheating. I am all for it. Someone step up with their awesome Fios connection and get it done. I can&#039;t even stay connected to IRC or my own practices.<br /><br />I also want to defend Fastidious just a little. He&#039;s done a great deal for IDL and treating him poorly for virtually no reason isn&#039;t cool. In the category of who has compiled the most stats he&#039;s in the top 3. He&#039;s captained a team to the Masterbowl, won 2, been in 7 seasons and generally conducts himself in a mature manner. In addition he&#039;s one of the most active forum members and he recently posted both sign up info and an interview/article about IDL on ESReality. Can we ask for more from a community member? Also he&#039;s totally bailing my team out since Chain is busy. This guy is like a saint or something. Lay off.
