First of all, the admin privileges are just that. Privileges. Use them responsibly, because I reserve the right to revoke them with or without reason or notice.
All admins will have a Sourcebans account created for them. The Sourcebans page is located HERE. You will be asked to specify your desired username (assuming it doesn't already exist) and password. If you do not, a username/password pair will be specified for you and will be sent via ProBoards Private Message.
All admins will receive SLAY/HARM privileges. This means you can burn/timebomb/beacon/whatever players you choose. Lower admins cannot target officers with these commands, but officers can target lower admins. The owner can target anybody.
Admins of any level will also have the option of announcing to the server when they join that they are an admin.
You will not have access to RCON, the server manager, or the server FTP, for obvious reasons. You will instead have access to Sourcemod admin commands.
For admins with KICK privileges ("+c" flag)
For admins with BAN and UNBAN privileges ("+d" and "+e" flags)
For admins with SLAY/HARM privileges ("+f" flag)
For Officers:
If you have been made an officer, it means I trust you with some of the higher moderation functions of my server and websites. Use them wisely, because there is always a higher authority. You will be made a moderator here on the forum (if you have an account here) and you will also be made a moderator of the No Rules Steam group if you are a member.

For admins with KICK privileges ("+c" flag)
- Do not kick excessively. Dropped connections reduces the server's matchmaking score, so excessive kicking will result in your admin privileges being revoked.
- Let autokick handle AFK players. It will wait a little longer if the AFK player is a donator, but it will get them if they don't come back. EXCEPTION: if one of your Steam friends is trying to join while the server is full, you may choose to kick an AFK player.
- Do not kick for personal reasons. If you don't like somebody, don't cause drama in my servers.
For admins with BAN and UNBAN privileges ("+d" and "+e" flags)
- You MUST use Sourcebans to ban and unban people. Officers can use the sm_admin menu or sm_ban.
- You can only unban players who have been banned by you. Higher admins can unban anybody.
- You cannot ban IP addresses that belong to officers or the owner. Attempting to ban a higher admin for malicious reasons will result in your own admin privileges being revoked permanently, and you may be banned yourself.
- If this ever happens, higher admins can unban themselves. They can also find out who did it and ban those responsible.
- Do not ban due to personal reasons (such as not getting along well with the player, player has opposing political opinions, or whatever)
- Only ban players who are breaking the same commonsense rules that apply to all servers (cheating, trade scamming, baiting arguments, admin and player disrespect). Use good judgement.
- At least warn before you ban for something other than cheating or trade scamming (no warning required for confirmed cheaters or scammers.)
For admins with SLAY/HARM privileges ("+f" flag)
- It is discouraged to use harm commands on players during a round, especially to RED players on round setup, as they can give unfair disadvantages.
- Feel free to use them during the Waiting period in Mann vs Machine, or if everybody is in the mood to just fool around. You may slay or timebomb someone at any time if they are stuck in any way or if they are griefing.
- Be fair, but have fun with the slay/harm commands!
