Arrogant Admin

In a TF2 server I regularly go to, there's an admin on there that I have no respect for. Far as I know, he likes to show off and get a little carried away with his admin powers. For instance, at times he would change the next map, despite there's a voting system for that, to a map that isn't part of the rotation. Arena_Nucleus and Arena_Well.

What really peeved me the most was that he changed it without anyone voting or having any say about it. He would even cancel a vote that is about to happen or after the vote he would change it. He always complains about a certain map that "some cannot load" and would change it instantly to a map that is out of the rotation. There is a search engine called "Google". You can look up the map and version, with any other needed keywords, and find a link that'll have that version with a download like. The map is dm_cloudsdale_b5. For some reason the server won't download and players will have to go looking for it (that's what I did, didn't hear me whining about it.)

I had to pretty much complain to a trustworthy admin and in the group comment section about his actions. Apparently some of the other members didn't really care nor liked my actions, despite they were missing the big issue: our votes were being ignored and dismissed and forced to go to a map that we had no say in. Someone had to complain about this dictating admin. Yet this admin goes on saying "I'm always negative on the server" when he doesn't come on very often and barely knows me; besides I have my fun moments, he's just never on when they happen, same for certain members that agree with this guy. He claimed others wanted arena. I heard nor read anyone saying they wanted arena. He picked it, set it as next map, end of story. I'm only negative when that arrogant admin comes online, along with a few certain regulars, acting like he's Adolf Hitler or something.

Also, it's hard to tell if his insults and remarks to others while in comp are "jokes" or not. They all sound personal and arrogant to me with the tone he says them in. Plus the fact he's a pro and likes to show off leans more in the direction of "not joking". How this selfish arrogant fool got admin is beyond me.

Thankfully the server admin force changed the map into a map that IS in the rotation. Seems my complaints got through to him, since he doesn't approve of such actions on the server by admins. That admin really needs to learn that and respect the voting system for the server. It's there for a reason.

Another issue is that he would play songs (that are downloaded from the server when you first log in) one after another. It gets annoying and could be rather distracting when in comp or when a lot of people are talking and can be barely heard. Fine if it was less frequently or by few requests, whether it's in comp or peaceful maps, but not one after another. Especially over played songs like Dustbowl, and Magic. (and to others if they have the sound file, the pirate song, which I just find annoying period for me). Thankfully there's a command to stop it client side, but can be a hassle to type over and over when in a comp map if one song is being played after another after another after another. Especially bad when on peaceful maps that  have music and can't be stopped or has a lot of people trying to make conversations.

I don't care if this guy is admin, I have no respect for those that are arrogant and annoying like that. He needs to work on his attitude and actions.
