Introduction
The Altara admin is the perfect subject when it comes to badmins.

He Teleports players whenever, without a care for anything.

He spawns in monsters on top of players.

He loves to murder players outright if they aren't playing the game the way he wants.

Overall you'd be better off just joining Evergreens Server or Brights Server when they are hosting. Both of them are Workshop authors and host much better servers.
Setup
If you are as insane as I am you'll want more then one copy of the game.

Maybe a Soundboard too on one or two accounts, Soundpad works great.

Maybe a couple copy pastas about Janitors.

You should read this guide https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2534039169
Joining the Server
You gotta check around for when he is hosting as its not a dedicated.

You'll need a modlist too as the badmin has a list of mods a mile long.

They should be downloaded while joining.

IMPORTANT! I suggest not using any name similar to "Janitor" as he's likely to ban you out right.

UPDATE: The word "Janitor" has actually been added to the banned words filter on the server meaning you can't join with the word "Janitor" in your name. my sides, KEK.
Getting Banned
This is unfortunately very easy.

The badmin is always spectating and meta gaming.

My favorite way to get banned is by talking to him while in dead chat.

By getting banned this way it shows others he bans people who aren't even playing and makes him look very bad.

Another great way is to go around telling everyone how bad the admin is.

Most players will agree with you and he'll see it in chat and ban you.

Really this could go on forever as the admin is likely to ban you for just playing the game.
Outro
Really the best way to win is by stopping playing.

The Altara admin is one of the worst Badmins I've seen and deserves no one but trolls on his server.

I made this guide because I take great pleasure in annoying him even a little.

These types of people power trip because they have admin commands.

They ruin the game more then the people that just come to blow up the reactor.

It takes effort to blow up a reactor. you can't just blow it up with commands.

But the admin can. and the Altara Badmin will.
Addendum
This section of the guide has been made weeks after the original guide was posted.

I'll be using it to tell the tale of the Altara's road to redemption.

My friend released a station, I had been looking for someone hosting it as I wanted to play.

I joined a Mining Station RP assuming it was his map, and it was I readied up and waited to spawn, but the round ended. next round starts.

I run from my bandit spawn, too the main building grab a clown suit and mask and The Janitors ID in a vent. I use this ID to open a locked door for Janitors only.

I then find myself dead for no reason, at first I thought oxygen but then checked the chat message that said I died from injuries.

The admin didn't ban me, he just killed me. Me being the person I am didn't take too kindly to this.

After yelling at the admin in dead chat for awhile I realized it was him, my most dreaded badmin.

The Altara Admin, not using server name or display name I'm used to! It was a Ruse! Bamboozled!

After trying to show the madman in dead chat for quite while that I'm a "real nice guy" I actually got him to spawn me without murdering me for assuming I'll troll.

I cannot stress this enough. I only do what I do because I want to play a game and something stops me from doing that.

I know the Altara admins steam now, so I think I'm gonna try and add him.

I really think we can be best buds. :)

found the link to this in my dms, holy shit this brings back memories, and I only just found the comments mentioning me

I know it's been like 2-3 years but here's my side of the story: I helped Crunch moderate, but he went too far with his power tripping and I left him when I had like 500 hours in the game. Since then I started my own server which is still running today thanks to the experience I got from those hosts. I now have 3700 hours in this game and made multiple mods. Good ending.

Anyone else thinks a lot of admins and server hosts should just kys for being assholes?

Update: I added a new "Addendum" section to the guide. It has a story about my most recent unexpected encounter with the Altara admin.

Well, its been a good run boys but we're "off" the front page. I assume my post doesn't break rules, but also can't stay at the top forever. The guide is sixth place after being in the top 3 for a week at the time of writing this. maybe someone complained, who cares anyway. The guide reached just over 40% of the active Barotrauma playerbase. I'd consider the guide a major success. Hopefully we can get some more quality admins in our breathing simulator.

Its not all Doom and Gloom though we're constructive here. I'm gonna write a guide about what to do and not to do while being an admin. keep an eye out for it.

Godspeed Gamers.

Who's the Altara admin? I misunderstood!

Onyx wasn't the Original owner at all.

@Chris

I don't know any thing about the discord as I don't use discord, I know of Onyx from his workshop ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561198316798946/myworkshopfiles/?appid=602960 )

I don't recall him ever being a Badmin, then again I only recall one time he was host while I was there. I sure hope he finds the time to host again and doesn't let this one experience ruin the game for him.
