Help me please, I don't know how to add myself as an admin!
If you are running sourcemod, this step is easy.

TO ADD YOURSELF TO THIS LIST, YOU MUST KNOW YOUR STEAM ID. THERE IS NO OTHER SECURE WAY.
To find your steam ID, join a server, open the developer console (¬) and type status. Beside your name should be a set of numbers. For example, my steam ID is "STEAM_0:0:12154598".

So, now I have my Steam ID, I enter it at the BOTTOM of the file like this;

This will give unlimited admin rights with the maximum immunity level (stops other admins from kicking you). I added my game name with quotes (//) after just so when i return to this list, I know which steam ID belongs to who.
Save, restart the server or force a mapchange. Type !admin or /admin to access the features.
