How Admins must have to bite their tongue , It would drive me crazy seeing players posting on here saying I was innocent etc etc nasty bad admins, when you no only to well what they have been up to, Pity you can't post screenshots reminding them what it was they did, that might cut down the number of banned/blocked members posting on here.

edit:this post is not aimed at anyone personally.

Can we ban complaining about admins on here?

To carry with a few people's opinions in this thread. We can't do anything and all it leads is to people moaning about admins and this is not a place for that. Let's face it, it's impossible to talk calmly about it without someone attacking.

We have admins among us and why shouldn't they be able to kick their shoes off and relax around here?

I'm with BB on this... can we have a banner or something saying... 'If you are banned contact info@isketch.net?' Admins don't ban people for nothing. In fact a lot of evidence of a player's abuse of iSketch needs to be collated before a ban can be made. In the case of a block, consider it a warning.

I'm growing tired of seeing people who are banned come on here and not just state that they've been banned...how do they get help? But they have a dig at the admin too. This does nothing to strengthen their argument. Actually they come across as these players who deliberately goad and villify admin.

This is usually the hobby of a bored player with nothing better to do and you can rest assured they were banned through their own actions. None of which the admin will reveal here, nor will they enter into personal arguments.

Reality check for people who hate admins:

Why? Could it be because they prevent your constant rule breaking?
Or because you're just bored? -Get a real hobby!

The admin are people who love iSketch and give up their free time FREE of charge to police an internet game site and I for one have been helped by them on many occasions.

I suppose what I'm trying to say... is when it comes to putting down admin... put a sock in it.

Edit: I'd like to say this isn't about Cheese_Ball... but about the admin 'bashing' trend of late.

People like complaining. Some people complain about admins... others complain about people who complain about admins :P

I've been known to post the odd thread about skips and warnings that I've thought to be unfair, back in the days of ye Olde iSketchforum...

I know FEEDBACK!!! is the official avenue and the ONLY real way to get an OFFICIAL response, but its always nice to read what's been going on... I'm just a gossip freak really ;)

I feel I must mention though, that any grievances or suggestions or what not will only be met with an official response from contacting feedback. Did I say that already?

It's a shame that people post the same sort of things after players dismiss actions like these. I take it they didn't read this

Okay, not that anything I say is really important. But it would be so helpful if people actually read previous posts based on the same things before posting their own.

I agree, for the most part admin are lovely people on sketch who are fair and put up with a hell of a lot before they even kick you out for a certain amount of time never mind block you permanently. Stop Admin bashing is what I say! They are people too with feelings doing a hard job as a volunteer! Thank you for reading, rant over!!

Oh Nerdy we listen to what you say and what each of us has to say is important - oh except for the muppets. I agree that they should read through before posting - maybe like Buffers says - have a Banner or something. Maybe Peter, Ches or 2.0 could even set this up so that when a New Thread is about to be created - a message pops up asking

"Have you checked the other threads before you create a new one? There may alrady be a suitable thread to post in. But if you are complaining about being banned from iSketch call 61293316000"

BTW - that's the number for the Salvation Army Care Line in Australia - where you can talk to someone who cares.

I love you, jewels! Maybe you should be an admin :)

perhaps if isketch admins are willing to share the blocks/bans log with this humble forum's mods, we could cross check to see what really happened when people come in here saying admins suck and i didn't do nuthin...

So nice weather out there eh?

lol i was actually trying to have sam or bb to give me some hilarious stories about people getting banned. looks like it's not gonna happen...


I'm sure it'll clear up eventually

I would love to see some of the emails that feedback get, especially when feedback know's it was hard porn they were drawing, and not the cute little kitten they are making out, or whilst they popped to the bathroom their sweet 90 year old granny in error booted 10 players and drew a picture of herself naked


Scattered showers with a slight eastly wind.

Sounds...like your speaking from a very personal experience....


Sky is Blue, and sun is out, the weekend approachs! \0/

LOL NO WAY as much as I love my granny, I am very proud of my naked draws and would certainly not let her take the credit for them.


Still scattered showers.


edit: this is a joke, you must not draw naked/porn on isketch. I do not want every banned player now sending me pm's saying how comes you draw porn and don't get banned.

Is this some kind of code? If it is, let me in on it, please!

and about me and BB sharing blocks and bans.. sorry, no can do!

But maybe you can convince Rob to do it!

He was talking about the weather ;-)

I would tell you what the code is, Sam, but then I'd have to kill you.

Nice weather for ducks!

Fairy is feeling dumber than a solitary Wotsit! I had no idea Sam was admin! Maybe I should put the vodka down for a couple of weeks, and catch up on the goss!

To try and stay on topic, on the whole admins do a FANTASTIC job. I for one, can honestly say they have helped me on many occasions. As it was stated by Buffers, these people give up their FREE time to make sure an enjoyable game for all... stays enjoyable! Ok I'm done, need a brew xx

I would just like to add to this thread that when admins kick or ban a player we type a message that the player and the rest of the room all see. It would be something along the lines of:

Ches was kicked by the administrator: If you persist in cheating you risk a permanent ban from the game

or

2.0 was banned by the administrator: This is the third and final time you have been caught drawing porn. You are now banned from the game

The information is there on your screen until you close it so those who claim to have no idea why they were removed are most likely leaving out a lot of information when asking for your help.

Ah yeah i remember that one... rofl. Drawing porn. Good stuff oh mighty wise one, thanks.

Eh, i got banned for saying (When i was drawing) "Wtf is a clu?" and the word was "Cluff" Yeah i know, i shouldn't use words, but would that be a perm ban?

This can help more than we can

Welcome to the forum
