The situation here is sort of fucked up. Basically, people here know what the GMs can and can't do, but they have no info on how they're using their powers. On most other game servers, people have plenty of feedback on how they're using their powers, but don't know jack shit about what's happening behind the scenes. The only thing I'm fighting for here is the ability to know three things whenever a GM interacts with a player: who, with whom, what did he do. I don't really care about "how", because I know more than I would care for.
People playing other games on others servers can make a good assumption of what GMs can and can't do on those servers.
And on those servers they have not much information about how those powers are used either, perhaps with exception to banned players who might either complain on a forum or be listed as banned somewhere.
It's quite normal you don't know what's happening behind the scenes, simply because you don't have to know.
People don't have plenty of feedback on how GMs are using their powers on most servers. If there's feedback, it's mostly because someone who's behaviour got corrected started a forum thread whining about it and the GM in question tells his/her side of the story.
GMs should always identify themselves when interacting with other players on behalf of their GM role. They should also do so if they step intervene in a situation.

Personally I don't want you or anyone else to know when I contacted a GM, whom I have spoken with and what it was about.
Perhaps I just reported a possible cheater, dual logger or fast relogger.
Well, if you want to be racist here please keep it to yourself. I don't really want to know about your prejudices. Just FYI, 2 of the GMs are Poles and there's a Pole in the Dev team.
You're offended?
Why?
Should I have called you a rightwing nationalist for specifically and for no special reason refering to the fact it was posted in the Polish subforum?
I said it before, I say it again, I have no idea why you refered to that fact.
You not explaining it, only feeds the idea it was some kind of nationalistic pride.
I have met Polish people in various foreign countries (foreign for them and me) and they were all nice and friendly people.
Most Polish people I met on the FOnline server are assholes with a serious lack of social skills.
And no, that's not due to a language barrier.
As far Wolfenstein Enemy Territory goes, yes we banned over 90% of Polish players from our severs after we caught them cheating.
We never banned without a reason and we actually discussed every ban preferably before we issued it.
Methods used by GMs to detect cheaters and exploiters are well-known already.Yeah, and all people with account's name starting on H are known for spreading only bullshit here.
Seriously, you have just made my day. You forgot to mention that every Pole is a thief.
You're talking forum or game accounts now cause if it's forum you forgot to mention names starting with the letter K.
If I made your day with that, you have a sad life.
Apparently you're Polish, so you should know best.
And one suggestion when you won't show gm's logs just allow players to look on their own logs I thing in players logs you can see what gm do with you (example teleporting etc)
I missed out on that 1 at first, thanks for mentioning it again.
That indeed is a good feature.
It should come with it's own colour, so it's easier noticed.
