Unsure of the rules? Look Here!

I have to power to punish, but I think some admins might like to know what to do.
We've been seeing a raise in people who ask "may I be slept", "can I take flying lessons", and "please sleep me". And they will specifically lame in order to be so.

How do you punish these people? Cause slapping and sleeping them isn't much of a punishment if they want you to do it.

We ignore them until they break a rule.

Once they break a rule then the admin is to follow the admin procedure like usual.

If the admin follows the admin procedure then on a long enough timeline it leads to one of three paths pending on the admin's level.

Jedi - Keep the player slept on the ground forever until they either leave or a higher level admin comes on that is able to kick/ban.

Knight - Kick

Council - Ban

All three of these would be bad for players that just want to be punished. They normal are satisfied before an admin gets to one of these outcomes.

Now I'm not saying you can outright sleep forever or kick someone who wants to be and is asking to be punished. like I said above, KR admins are to follow the admin procedure.

If they keep laming because they still want to be punished then you move onto the next step - timeouts. Leave them slept for 5-10 minutes.
See if they still like it.
If they continue to lame then sleep then for longer.

Still after this? Leave them on the ground. Forget about them.

Like I said, on a long enough timeline the problem will take care of itself.

Always think about admin questions in terms of real life. If you do this, it will help answer a majority of them.

For example - say someone runs up to a cop and begs for the cop to arrest them, but the cop will just walk away (hopefully). Now the guy goes and robs someone right in front of the cop so that he is now breaking a law and should be arrested.

...What do you think the cop will do?

well another thing to that what if we put them out of the way and silence them until they are ready to cooperate such as on korriban put them above the map or in the cage where they dont die and on tattooine put them on the roof or ledge

Not effective - they could just spectate and rejoin and then be back on the normal map. If the server is crowded or if you were in a duel and missed the server messages then you might forget about them.

It is best to stick to the KR punishment procedure. Who cares if they like getting punished. Punishment is punishment and sooner or later they will want it to stop.

Just what RaVen said. Sleeping guys for longer time usualy helps them to stop, if they don't, you just leave them there until they leave. ( Although I kick those guys if they just keep on laming )
