I've noticed that it's fairly easy for certain admins to abuse the Teleport verb. Generally, I don't mind when it's all in good fun. Sometimes, though, it can really piss you off to be completely unable to avoid a Tele-Kill (Except by being in a SZ)
What I suggest is to simply add a bit of text similar to what happens when someone uses IT. It should say something like 'So-and-so has teleported to your location' or something like that. It wouldn't stop the Teleport Kill from happening, but it would provide irrefutable evidence that the verb was being abused.
I'm sorry if this suggestion seems condemning of admins, but I've always had a no-nonsense attitude when it comes to abuse of admin verbs. At the least, this will make it so that they will be held accountable for their actions.
Thanks for hearing me out
Edit: I just remembered hearing something about an 'Admin View' that allows you to Zanzoken to a person you're viewing. It'd probably be good to do something similar for that command as well.

Who DID use this kind of method? And between IT and Teleport, the only different things they have from each others are that:
1) Teleport moves you into player's loc. This means it will put the user in player's loc. While IT moves the user to player then go south by one.
2) Teleport should always work, regardless of HBTC, gravity, etc.
Those're only differences you should know. Please let me know who used this method to kill others.

Well I know for certain that Freak Doctor has done it to me. Of course, I have no proof because there's no text showing they moved to me in an out of the ordinary way, but I know for certain that I had my Energy Barrier up at the time.
There should have been no way to get to me without using admin commands.

Ah. But, you know that EB is kinda buggish at this time. It DOES wear off after some time, but the bad part about this is that it doesn't really set your "{WORN}" status back to default...

Yeah, I know the EB is a bit buggy, but I have it macro'd and check it often. I'm absolutely certain that it was cloaking me at the time.
I'm not trying to report them or w/e, I'd just like some text to be added so that if it happens in the future, it can be dealt with by taking a screenshot and posting it on the forums.
As of right now, there's no way to prove that someone Tele-Killed you other than by taking a screen of your death without the Instant Transmission message. Though they can just argue that they didn't use IT or Teleport and just flew or Zanzo'd to you.

Hmm, you got good point there. As for zanzoken part for admins, I recently coded it that if you're 'watching' someone, it'll not work. I'll do the text part for Teleport and try to fix EB status bug. Thanks for helping and informing me about this bug.

Oh cool, good to know that the View/Zanzo thing has already been fixed.
Glad I could help, and thanks for hearing me out

Actually, that part wasn't really updated. I'm just telling you that I coded it. Status of EB and Teleport text is now coded and ready to go. I'm gonna just wait another day to see if the players has found bugs or there are more runtime errors. Thanks again. *Edit* May I say this... I enjoy your company on our forums.  |

Excuse me, I haven't killed you once with the method I founded so if your going to make up stuff from now on why don't you confront me about it before you go around posting it.

Not really sure what made me think you were written down for abuse but... meh. I edited my earlier post and took your name out of it. Again, sorry about that. |
