Considering this is the second time in two days someone has reported Gamefreak for "abuse", I think something might be up and it should be investigated.

Admin testimony is certainly enough to reveal at least some signs of abuse.

I have to agree to this.

Turning on Friendly Fire is really not abusive at all. If Fire wouldn't want admins to have control of Friendly Fire, he could easily recompile the plugin and remove the function. A demo of Gamefreak turning it on and then going AFK would be show enough proof to satisfy whatever people want done.

Yeah. Friendly Fire has been turned on numerous times with me, but I normally don't AFK with it on. If I do, I just hop away for a matter of a few minutes (either to use the restroom or grab a snack) and be right back to handle the matter. The only way I can see this being a problem...

1) A ton of players are complaining about it being on in the first place, rather than later on down the road. (Call a vote first.)
2) The Friendly Fire being turned on and then the administrator immediately leaves afterwards.
3) Some of the friends having easy persuasion to getting the administrator to do what he/she wants.

Besides, you can't really blame an administrator for something coming up and having to go away for a bit. Since I wasn't around or anything, I can't really give any eyewitness reports, but I can give a third-party perspective into this matter.

We have Friendly Fire on Freak Fortress which is absolutely never allowed to use for admins...
