Rather than sugarcoat what's apparent to some people, there have been crew-related issues with the handing out of temp admin rights. This includes those who fall into one of two categories:
- people who don't understand LVP and its gamemode
- people who haven't done anything notable to deserve rights (i.e. continuously assisting players over more than just a couple days)
As a wise figure within LVP once said, this is a gameserver community. It shouldn't be taken too seriously. At the end of the day, it's a place for people to chill out and have some fun. If I want serious, I'd consider watching paint dry rather than play SA:MP or hang around on IRC.
Getting the balance right between crew who are willing to have some fun and engage with players, yet not go over the top, can be very tricky. At one point, we've all screwed up. Shit happens. Did I end someone's 100 killspree with a minigun just recently for a laugh? You bet. Should I be demoted? Maybe so.
There's been complaints about pretty much every regular player at one point or another (yes, yourself included) - whether that be aimbot, damage modifications, etcetera. If we banned every contentious player, we would be left with one player who does nothing more than drives a car for 5 minutes and leaves.
And no - I'm not denying that the video isn't weird. Seems unlikely that it's caused by lag or the fact that this is a very outdated game with questionable logic at times. If anything, I hope Slick has shit his pants and realized that if he is indeed using cheats, he's been busted and won't do so again. He is well-aware of this thread after all:

I figured I'd wait and see if anyone else wished to chime in on this before replying - perhaps someone else can offer up something more useful, as I realize my post is mostly waffle.
