Resolved [FoG] Holoflash - A hidden abuser

[FoG] Holoflash - Abuse

29th of March 2014​

As you may have noticed, it is regarding one of our own ranks, the man we know as Holoflash.
Who is Holoflash?
For those of you who do not know him, he is an admin of two servers: 2fort & Deathrun.
On the forums, he is known as Ace.


Before I present you the proof, I want to explain something important. The reporter wishes to stay anonymous and thus out of courtesy, will be censored without obstructing the evidence.
As a result, the black areas are for hiding the innocent.

Now then,let me proceed to the evidence right away that will show you the ill-deeds he has committed.
One day, Holoflash got bored.

I know many of you are wondering what these "teleporter shenanigans" are.

Here they are.

A reply to his actions to someone asking.

Does not really clear him from the deed.

Another player had this happening.

This is Holoflash's teleporter.

In conclusion...

* Herded people outside of the rules of the map
* Granted unfair advantages on a 'serious' map
* Used his powers to slay innocent people
* Shown lack of activity on both his servers.

I have edited the post because Ace seems to be genuinely sorry about the matter.

 

Hmm, to be honest, such admin does not belong to FOG in my opinion, but it's noname's decision really,also i never heard of that guy probably because i never saw him on forums or i'm just too new.
Either one, i agree with jozzeh on this one.

 

What he has done is outright unacceptable though.

This isn't trade or achievement/idle, where these kinds of shenanigans are more allowed due to the natural un-serious theme they are.

But 2fort is the exact opposite - it has genuine objectives for players to perform, we have real players that are trying to kill each other and capture the intelligence. People even knew something wrong was going on!


These kinds of things do not belong there!

Truly not.

 

This is a prime example of admin abuse and I hope N0name does something about this.

 

Proof is perfect, what is being accused here can't be denied in any way; must be appreciated Jozzeh's bravery and sense of duty, it would normally be difficult to accuse another admin of something; but you showed us what really is important: avoid people to abuse the powers they have been gifted with, just for their pleasure, without any concern of the consequences against other players.

Anyway, by the proof given, I have to go along with you, Jozzeh: this is a serious matter, that must be solved; not that the interested admin can deny what is evidently shown by the proof pics and chatlogs, but, at least, he has to give a reason for doing that and give us a reason to still trust him.

 

Well, we need pretty good reasons, if Ace wishes to lift these accusations from his back...

So lets hear it then.

 

Im just going to say it, its over. You might as well lift your hands over your head and accept all charges that has been placed on you.

Proof is there, nothing more to speak of, its a prime example of abusing.

 

To be honest, the teleporters in 2fort is nothing new, a lot of admins in there have done it

 

I'd like to remind you cetru that sources have told me that players act like they have never seen Holoflash before to the point they asked if he was a new admin. I don't know what you think about that, but that goes long ways to show that he must be very inactive in 2fort.

And these are regulars, people that play very often on 2fort that have been putting him to the question if he was a new guy!
The chatlog surely must contain the evidence to these claims!

 

In all fairness, people think that I'm a new admin even when I've been on trade with them previous times.

 

It's not quite the same, Ninja.
You're on the trade "Now and then". Active, but not an everyday local.

Recall what I said:

Don't you find that strange?
Imagen playing for like half a year on 2fort, and then out of nowhere a guy pops up and you notice he is an admin.

 

He was inactive for a very long time due to reasons, so ofcourse they wouldn't know him....

 

Not that I believe that's a valid reason for him to abuse like shown, but has he mentioned of these reasons to the forums?

 

From what I could decipher from that, the evidence seems pretty valid. Although spawning people outside the maps has been happening in quite a few servers for quite some time, (Usually as mentioned above on less "serious" servers, but that also depends if Mario-Kart falls under that category or not) while it could have been at first harmless fun, the other players could have easily been the ones to instantly try abuse it. Which is pretty common if you count the Mario-Kart issue of teleporters (e.g: 'Roofing')

Regardless, hopefully Ace will have some input on the matter before everyone commits to the witch-hunting.

Also no offense, but this'd be alot more easier to read without the unneeded, overly-dramatic layout and use of Phoenix wright pictures.

 

I dont mean it happened recently. I mean a couple of months back a user who had been on nearly everyday that I was on said "oh are you a new admin?" I dont mean to argue or anything, but there are times when people either dont notice you, or just dont ever seem to be on at the same time as you. Admins will be on at varying times and so will regular members.


Also to do with Jozzeh's most recent post. He doesn't need to give a reason why he's inactive. He's allowed his privacy.

What I'm saying is that although his actions werent right and he was abusing, his activity is fine and that shouldn't be put to question.

 

I know, I know.

Still, the evidence is rock-solid.
And regarding Mario Kart - I personally think that it leans towards the more "unserious" nature.
That's just me though. I don't really like mario kart that much and has never struck me as a serious map.

And regarding the activity - of course, no need to question because privacy is a personal thing to be respected.
Even so, what I was aiming my question was whether he told in beforehand he would be gone for a time without naming the reason.

 

Mhm...

I agree with Jozzeh, compared to other FoG servers 2fort is a serious map. It's not like Arch/idle, Trade, and Mario Kart where you can fool around.
But using noclip (or whatever he used) to get outside of the map and place a teleporter is just, rude.

What was he even thinking?

 

Eh he can't use noclip. noone can. It's either a glitch on the map where you can place teleporters outside of the map boundarys (there are several maps with this glitch) or he somehow used the teleport command to do it (Which I don't think is possible). If its the former then he wasn't really abusing, apart from the fact that he slayed one person for no reason (as he didnt use building god mode). but if he used the latter then it's definately abusive.

 

I haven't even read anything yet, but I really can't take you seriously with these Ace Attorney characters.

Update:

Alright so after reading this, I lack any reason to remain neutral on the topic; this is abuse.

I'm quite interested in what Ace has to say for himself, though.

 

As to how he got outside, that's simple:
The command that was used is the bring command. In the trade server, I can access the display cases, going inside them if I just fidget and teleport in to them good enough. Example:

I swear that I had no puns intended..you just made me realize that small detail...
