I am the main admin on my server, I wish to make some money to support my server, and I am giving the donators the option to donate to get admin.The problem is, I don't want some douche bag abusing the admin powers such as Ban,slap,slay,burn,timebomb,and ect. Eventually someone will end up with admin and decide to go on a rampage. So, I was wondering if there was a plugin that restricts certain commands for secondary admins. I am NOT installing sourcebans or anything like that, mainly because I have no idea what the eff im doing and I just want an easy plugin that can be installed on the servers files. If there is a way to do it by altering sourcemod, please inform me.

You don't need a plugin for that, it's part of sourcemod itself. All you have to do is assign them to a group, say, "donor" and set what commands they can and cannot use.

PHP Code:

Groups
{
    "Donors"
    {
        "flags"            "ab"    //reservation, generic admin
        "immunity"        "1"    //low immunity value

        Overrides
        {
            "sm_map"    "allow"    //Let them use sm_map even without the flag
            "sm_kick"        "deny"    //denies the use of the kick command
        }
    }
} 


Also, I suggest instead of giving donors admin access, give them other perks such as being immune to kick

Good luck with that. I have never seen a server sell admin without it coming back to haunt it. They can't help themselves, if a map change is all they allowed to do they will constantly change maps just to show people they can because being an admin is the most important thing they will probably ever achieve in their entire lives, and even with that they had to pay for it.

If all they can do is control chat, then they will control it to death .. so on and so forth.

Although I understand what you are trying to do, there will always be abuse. They clear out a server until theres nothing left to admin but themselves and an empty game.

Why dont you offer players custom skins or something exclusive instead?

I dont offer anything anymore and I receive about $40 to $50 a week from grateful players. It all goes back into custom mods and steam game giveaways, which in turn gets people donating.. Whats left over I donate here. I dont pocket any of it because I run my server for fun not profit.

Just a friendly "IMO"

A possible solution could be to have a plugin manage admin command quotas (in various categories). The quotas can be adjusted so it's impossible repeat commands in a way that people will leave the server. But someone should also watch the admins/logs and not just let them do whatever they want.

Ahh OK I see. Well mate spend allot of time in here and you'll change that for sure, good luck with it hey ;) What you could probably use is an "Admin Watch" system so you can keep track of admin actions, I don't know if there is one for TF2 but worth finding out.

Also make sure you have a very clear terms of use policy so there's a loop hole for you to remove an admin privilege.

cheers

@sinblaster you've had horrible admins then, or your policies are out of whack =D. Had paying admins for over two years (dozens of different admins) and only one occurrence of admin abuse.

[sinblaster]

I never use admins on any servers, I just know the results from helping others.

Admins kill a server, thank god for votemenu.

I should also mention, Im talking about Australia. BIG DIFFERENCE.

I had 3 servers running in Texas with the counterstrike pub crew back in 2007 and it was a whole different ball game
