Sorry Its been a while since ive posted....
I am soooo frustrated right now I could just run down the street naked, screaming and pulling my hair out....
I am tired of trying to RELAX with a game of iSk and have to put up with so many idiots that either dont read the rules or could give a rats azz about them. I get a few precious hours each week to play(US Eastern time between 11-2am, usually in uk rooms) and these fools just go on playing just how THEY want and with their terrible potty mouths, bigotry, writing letters and drawing porn every chance they get. Whats worse I cant ever seem to get any help anymore. No admins to be found. Then, I dont know if there is a certain number of times you can vote to skip/boot someone because it starts giving some friggin default message saying that I have voted/booted them too many times or whatever it actually says(whats with that?). I could spend an hour in a room trying to make the blokes understand that there are rules. I know im probably gonna hear "Why dont you just leave or change rooms?" which I also get from these immature people that thrive on making rule-abiding players' lives miserable. I SHOULDNT HAVE TO CHANGE ROOMS! NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO! These people NEED to play by the rules or receive consequences. When they do not, they feel they can do it even more and have free reign over everyone in the room calling people names and writing letters and generally causing GOOD PEOPLE to leave(this also includes abusing the skip/boot function). This really needs to stop. I have even had to sometimes shorten my playing time, because to me iSketch is a haven from the workday, but when I have to put up with this, it only serves to aggravate me further and I just have to log off and walk away. The general response I normally receive is "gee, its just a game". Well, heres my 2 cents worth on that... ALL games have rules. When you break the rules, it means you are cheating! Period. If you play a Playstation game/Xbox game or board game(like Pictionary), people arent going to want to play with you if you are constantly cheating. Also, if you change the parameters of any of the system games via a **CHEAT** code, its cheating. Thats why its called a CHEAT code, duh. Oh and by the way Im not sorry if I offend anyone because this is how I feel. Live with it, like I have to live with cheaters EVERY TIME I play iSketch. Im not trying to blame any admins either because I think they may have too much on their plate to deal with every single situation that arises but that may also mean that its time to hire some more? Yeah?
I would gladly be one myself but I dont think the time I have each week to dedicate to that would be sufficient for the role.(???) Anyone that knows me, knows that I am very helpful when it comes to noobs that are nice and need help. Furthermore, every admin that has ever come to my rescue knows that I DO NOT abuse the vote priveledge and that I thank them almost 99% of the time. Please, please, please(begging here) do something about this before my sanity is lost and the only choice I have left is not to play anymore. My love for iSk is slipping.
Is there anything I can do to help solve this problem?
Ive always thought snitches were the worst people but lately ive been seriously considering copying every violation to my clipboard and emailing to get something done since the vote priveledge no longer seems to work especially when im the only one voting. Sheesh!

Edit: Hey whats the big idea... Im not a junior member with only 1 post! I had at least 80 posts, not that its a whole lot, but still.... WOW! Looks like there been some big changes since ive been here last.

We had a big spring clean and everyone started their post count from 0 again :biggrin:

I'm so sorry you feel like this hon. Being in those situations is so frustrating. They're most of the reasons I don't play much anymore. Don't even get me started on people clicking done in the final round so a certain person can win the game either!! If there's something you need to report to feedback, don't hesitate either. You're not a snitch, you're helping the team to enforce the rules. Rules make the game fun, why can't people see that?!

I must say, I'm not a big boff on admins so I can't help with those frustrations but I know that we're not the only 2 to have these complaints either so you're not alone. I know that doesn't help with people disrespecting the game but we're all here for you to vent off if you need to xxxx

Oh and the next person who says 'Move to another room' hasn't a clue what it feels like and most of the time, it's the same there to. You will be force fed Marmite and fishpaste rolls :twisted:

Been there done that! You're not alone Atreyu! Like Facey said...it is extremely frustrating when things like that happen. And when there isn't an Admin around to help......it makes it worse. But the only thing we can do is to just grit our teeth or move to another room.

I'm sure Admins have a hard time anyway and are very busy themselves so i know that they will help at any chance they can.

/me hopes tiggs likes marmite and fishpaste :razz:

I think though that admins get buzzed whenever anyone votes so it's not falling on deaf ears, they're probably just busy sorting out someone else. I do find threatening the room with a visit from admin can sometimes work but it all depends on the room. And any repeat or bad offender can be followed when you e-mail screenshots of incidents and IP's of the said person to feedback. I've done this a couple of times for someone swearing at me alot and had a really nice email back thanking me etc. So they are there, it's just difficult for them to be there instantly.

Hey but when admins are about, believe you me, they are worth there weight in gold

One thing that does annoy me, is when 2 players are cheating, you plus 1 other may try to boot 1 of them, then another player tries to boot the other cheater out, but then no one of you can boot, for a minute at least , so then the cheating players are left in the room, sometimes they even start to boot the players that warned them.
I am sure there must be a reason why we can only boot 1 at a time, but when trying to boot cheating players , which needs to 2 players to cheat, this 1 boot at a time, defeats the object.

With porn drawers, it is best ( if you know admin are are about) don't boot the player, just let 1 or 2 people warn, then hopefully admin will come to the room, see the porn draw, then ban them, this is how the 1 above was caught,
If you just all boot them, admin won't get to see the draw, hence wont ban them.

/me hikes up the kilt for admin, all badies will get caught in the end.

No not that message, I only get that if I try to boot/warn the same person, what I mean is, if you vote to boot some one, you can't then vote to boot any one else for a least 1 minute, it's says somethings like, too many votes at once.

Oh yeah i know what you mean. It's like sending pinks....only 3 at a time.

Atreyu, I know how you feel... I go on isketch throughout the day, and I find that sometimes there are admins around while other times I can't find any help. But we just have to deal with that. I know you're not complaining about admins, but they do have lives.. and sometimes they are able to give more of their time, while at other times, they are not. But they do an amazing job when they're around. I haven't had any problems.

Personally, maybe a few more regular admins are needed, but I don't think this is something we can judge on. We don't know how many admins are on at a given time. And if the ones that we know aren't online, it doesn't mean that there aren't any on at all. It could be that other ones (that we don't know of) are busy in other rooms.

I do think you should contact feedback about your worries and frustrations. They can let you know what they think of it all. And they're very helpful in their replies.

And I understand what you mean about not being able to vote out another person straight after you vote to boot out someone else. It does get frustrating sometimes, however, I'm glad that we have that little 'pause'. If there vote abusers, it stops them from booting out a few people in a room, and it gives us a chance to react to their votes - vote them. So I like that the pause. :) Though I know sometimes it gets difficult when there is a serous amount of vote abuse from a few players at the same time. Eek..

I totally agree with all of the above comments, and rarely go into a room where I don't know anyone. There's safety in numbers here, that's for sure. I have a dumb question, though... After you have copied the offensive draw or comment with the /copy function, and the image is saved to your clipboard, where do you find this magical clipboard, and how do you retrieve the image from it to send to feedback or to post it?

if you're really concerned about being able to find admins quickly this is where ZeBadgers wrapper comes in handy with the extended buddy list that way you dont waste a lot of time with the /find function

Well, on my computer I can just paste the copy into a photo program (I use Irfan View) and even Microsoft Word works. Save it as a jpg. or whatever type of file you use, then email it. Easy, smeazy.

My philosophy on cheaters is that games are meant to be FUN and distract you from life. But when someone CHEATS it takes all the fun out of the game, completely defeating the purpose, and resulting in much frustration, the polar opposite of what you're playing for.

"Deal with it" is not a viable option (While this may sound absurd, it is heard quite often) for obvious reasons.. "Move to another room" is not viable, because they see it as a mandate to continue their actions, as Atreyu explained...

More admins WOULD be nice, but I assume it is a very frustrating position. You have to constantly be the judge, and I'm sure any parent of two or more would understand. The point is, not many "qualified" people are willing to volunteer their time to help the community. I know I sound cynical, but it's true. I would appreciate more admins just as much as the next person though, as there are never any to be found when I get booted out of a room for "cheating"..

Now, as for the pause between votes.. Imagine there's three friends in a room with 10-15 people in it. They could easily kick every single person out of the room, for whatever reason, within 20 seconds. So being able to vote in rapid succession is a liberty you'll have to do without, to cut down on vote abuse.

Cherry does as she always does, grins and bears it.
If i have to move rooms i do, its no hardship for me wot so ever:mad:

It's hard finding a viable solution, but I never leave a room if there are trouble makers. I just can't run from that, sad but true. I've come across some weak people on isketch who do not have the courage to face abuse, for example, so I don't like leaving a room to find that they'll go off abusing someone else. I know some people are okay with it, but I personally don't like running from bullies, even if it does mean I have to end up being kicked into the lobby. Which I believe has happened a few times. lol

To be honest with you, I feel something like that won't ever be dealt with accurately because they are far too many bad people than there are of the admins who are running around the rooms. We're always going to find trouble and it will be hard at times, because we won't be able to find an admin at hand. And I know a solution (to help that) would be to have more regular admins, as previously stated, but I guess that's something that has to be forwarded to feedback.

It's a tough job. It requires a great deal of patience and courage, as we're aware that admins face more abuse than players a lot of the time. So I'm sure it's very hard to find someone who is suitable for the job. We could all be candidates, but I'm sure just a few would be able to deal with all the frustrations that come with it. And we must also remember that they receive a lot of Admin applications, so I'm sure it's hard enough getting through all of that to find someone who is suitable. It all causes delays.

Nicely stated. :) Sure, we get frustrated every now and then because we can't boot out one person straight after another (if there is more than one person playing up in the room), but it's worth it. If it was any other way, it would be a total mess.

All very well stated nerdy hun.

First of all I want to thank you all for your awesome support. It is comforting to know that people, such as yourselves, feel the same way too. Its means a lot to me that I can come here and vent my feelings about the game and receive warm and caring responses from people that really DO care!
XXXOOO

Oh and the next person who says 'Move to another room'.... You will be force fed Marmite and fishpaste rolls :twisted:

I love it! :biggrin:

Hey but when admins are about, believe you me, they are worth there weight in gold.

Jewels.... I agree wholeheartedly... Admins ARE worth their weight in gold! LOL @ hiking up kilt for admins!

Yes, that is the message I am talking about... When I vote to skip/boot the offender and no one else votes them, I am unable to vote them again, even if they do that very same thing on the following draws. I keep getting that same dang message over and over. Then they really think they get away with anything they want to. AAARGH!

The reason you can only cast one vote is quite simply to prevent vote abuse ensuring that a player can only be skipped or booted by three individual players. Believe me there is a lot of vote abuse and this measure does go a long way to safeguarding the good players. I do know the frustration you are feeling and can promise you that admins really do try their best to answer as many player votes as possible.

I'm glad this thread hasn't turned into a venting station about admins and is more based on how we can deal with it personally. I know the title says 'Lack of Admins' but that isn't really what we're getting it. We know that admin's do such a great job and I couldn't imagine life without admin's around to back us up. :biggrin:

Well said! I am currently the only Administrator online, and believe me when I say that it is hard on our end too! Hang in there!

Yes kean, well said mate.
I think the admins do a great task on isketch, its like life nothing is perfect is it.
Things will never go 100 percent everyones way, look at the goverment for gods sake:rolleyes:

I went in a room filled with Newbies today, and they were drawing penis' and writing words out everywhere, luckily i had some friends with me and we like to play cleanly... so luckily we voted out all the cheaters penis drawers and letter writers, but even after all this vote commotion there were no admins to be found...:mad:

Aww ele thats a shame, when your game gets spolied by idiots eh.
Chin up:razz:

Round of applause for our admin friends , they sure are having one hell of a time with tons of people to help / vote / kick and watch...

Yes all admins should be knighted lol

I'm not even going to answer this!! You know what I'm getting at! It's harder at my end!!!!!!! :mad:

From a personal viewpoint.. .as iSketch is a free game - the fact that it is moderated at all is something we should all be grateful for. An evening spent in other similar game sites may confirm this.

Yes TF damb right as well hun, i totally agree with all you said

Not that they'd need to beg. xD
I am currently taking *recommendations.*
Bahaha. (;

I wanted to know... What does it take to become an Admin? Because i really want to be one, and i want to know what someone has to do in order to become an Admin.

just be a good player, follow the rules

and send an email to feedback

i know there used to be a thread about this but i couldnt find it...

i was in a room tonight and we needed an admin for rudeness and voting for no reason and it was very very excessive rudeness.. i tried to find an admin but there were none at all on..

I pose a questions to all the admins on this forum..

Is there enough admins to be able to cover around the clock in all areas?

It seems around 1030 PM or so Eastern Standard Time that all these wild people come and go wild with no admins around to stop them..:eek:

(This is not meant to be an admin bashing thread)

(please dont get spammy, this was started for a legitimate reason and id like it to stay on topic for future people that may ask the same question)


EDIT.. im stupid i just found the other thread.. please delete if you deam necessary

/me slaps himself for not looking hard enough

Sorry to hear you had a rough time element but I doubt there were no admins online, more a case of none that you knew ??

Things can get exceptionally busy for admins and much as we would love to be able to answer every vote it just becomes impossible at times :sad:

Make me an admin. Then there will be one more.

*evil chuckle*

No good having admins who get blocked :razz:

i just joined this forum, but i've been playing iSketch for almost 5 years now. i would like to say i echo everything you all have said!! don't get me wrong. i love admins, i'm good friends with a few & they do such a good job of taking care of the people who follow the rules & play fairly. but sometimes it does stink when you can't find any of em!! maybe a way to fix this would be to apply for admin status!! send an email to feedback! volunteer your time! then perhaps you could help lighten the load.. i've applied & am just waiting to hear back! wish me luck :")

i agree with everything said, and Nerdy i'm right with you with the whole standing up to bullys, but what gets to me the most i will warn someone about cheating and the next thing i know their booting me out of a room with their mates.
i still consider myself still fairly new to Isketch and i only know about 2 admins names and if neither of them around what do i do?
is there list of admins around?, if not maybe a general /msg admin facillity could be put in place.
i have had to change the time i used to play(to suit my other halfs gaming time grrrr) so now i see less of the regulars like you lot, and just get a bunch of idiots which is starting to really put me off playing.

you can /m admin, but i dont think anyone gets it because there is always a player on named admin, but i always assumed it was programed into the game

The player Admin or *Admin* is a robot, and any messages sent to 'it' will not be read. However sometimes *Admin* will message you to remind you about our rules (automated, of course).

G'day everyone!!!! Just me here - well those of you who know me, know I can talk - so I'll try and keep this brief.

Of course these are issues that have obviously been gone over time and time again.

Right now, at this time, I noticed at least three or four admins that I know of personally, in fact yesterday when i had a problem i had three in the room one after another - so kudos to those admin!

But however, when I come on later at night (NZ time) there aren't very many on at all - at least I get that impression from a. no-one on my fairly big list is on and two. when I use the warn button no-one appears. So perhaps this is part of the problem for us downunder. (I think most of the admins are awesome people btw - ENUF BUTT KISSING FOR TODAY!)

I think though when you are talking about the fundamental cheating, which urks me no -end , you have to blame in part, the fact isketch doesn't have registered ids. Because of that there is no accountability, they can return by tweeking their ip addy and using a different id. Although with registered ids this is also possible it is on a more limited basis.

So if I have any complaint, its that we don't have registered ids. I think this would cut down on a lot of time wasters who are just there to cause trouble.

This is just my opinion, based on past experiences of other sites.

Warm love and hang in there guys we need good players in the rooms!

i'm always here to lend an extra boot :D

cheating is almost everywhere especially in those English UK/US Easy rooms, sOOOOOOOOOooooooo many noobs/not noobs just can't stop writing!!! >=/
i got sick of giving warning sometimes so i just leave the room, since rarely there'll be admins during my time. [timezone difference]

so far i've only saw ONE admin who often "patrols" around. =(

BTW, Heard that some can skip them with one vote due to seniority. how "senior" must we be to skip those irritants? :twisted:

BTW, Heard that some can skip them with one vote due to seniority. how "senior" must we be to skip those irritants? :twisted:


No such thing as seniority, as you suggest. Even a dinosaur player (played +3 years) like many on the forum, including myself, can be temporarly put on the 1 vote list.

Once a player has been skipped a few times for improper draws/letters etc. or booted once from a room, it only takes 1 vote to skip them or boot them after that. This is to keep chronic pains out of decent rooms. This only lasts a few rounds, so if the player behaves, he/she might regain their regular status and thus be booted or skipped with 3 votes, but they have to behave for a while.

Now sometimes chronic pains get organized and boot/skip people for no reason, thus making life harder for us dinosaurs, but that's what admins are for and we're happy they do it.

thanks for answering, 2.0!! =]

indeed, have seen some who abuse their rights and try to skip every player comes along the way. once those try to skip me for no reason during my turn, but even with 3 votes i didn't get skipped... erh... i'm just wondering why?

sry, if i'm being anonying asking too much. T_T

there may have been an admin in the room who was removing the votes. or the votes could've happened over a long enough time period that the first ones were kind of cancelled out, maybe.

hi ICHI ... my understanding is if you vote on one vote it is because they have had two previous votes beforehand. So I didn't think it was based on seniority at all. (Might be wrong tho - i often am).

The problem is with when I come on, in the custom rooms and the more 'adult' rooms there is only usually a few players, so I am stuck with going into either UK easy or US. Not so earlier in my day though, and have met some awesome awesome players.

I think there are a lot more Admins floating than we think, we have to realise too, as stated previously these guys do this voluntary, and they have lives too, so sometimes even if they are logged in - they could be away from the computer.

It would be cool if Rob saw this thread, (looks at him hopefully) and goes through all his admin applications, cause I reckon there would be some awesome (i like that word) players willing to step up to the mark who have applied. Again this is just my honest opinion, means squat at the end of the day.

Have a good one everyone!

I also noticed that there is not enough Admins patrolling iSketch. And like someone here mentioned, ID stealing ( by this I mean people who take the usernames of other while they are not online ) is a major problem. It causes room stealing, and a lot of conflict. Because if you get someone with someone elses name come into your room, being nasty and using profanity language, you will kick them out if you're an OP ( well I would straight away :P ) and remember that the person with that name is negative.

If you get my point.

One little question to those who can asnwer it: When will registrations be available for iSketch?

ID stealing as you call it is not against the rules so admins can take no action. Also user created rooms are not moderated by admins.

They're not? So that means that admins cannot kick people out of user-created rooms?

i'm pretty sure that admins have the power of being an operator in user created rooms. however, they choose not to moderate them. they leave the moderating to the room operators, since the user created rooms technically aren't "public" rooms.

Admins can kick people out of UC rooms, but they wouldn't do so for 'ID stealing' as this is not a violation, as anyone can use any name. No one has 'dibs' on a nickname, except the Admins themselves - cos they're special :)

I'm pretty sure that's what BB was saying :)
