QA SMod

[kthx]

You aren't a staffer here, please stop acting like telling dexter to turn his new pub idea into distension gives you the ability to make changes or talk to people like you have any authority.

more on topic idea relevant to this thread:
crackdown on useless forum trolls.


there are many players in game that are reluctant to post any comments or ideas on the tw forums because they are (and i quote) 'infested with trolls'

[Pressure Drop]

you're trolling me , i asked the QA mod not you

how dont i play pub ? what are you basing that on ??????

i've played pub for years and continue to do so ... plenty of pubbers recognise me too so what you said is complete bullshit . I've never seen you in pub so either you dont play much or on a diff timezone or your a lev as i play in purepubs. So stfu this thread doesn't concern you unless you want to ask the QA mod something

[kthx]

By many reluctant players in game he must mean the five people who left TW to start distension zone with him and the useless dean of staff Ara. Useless morons like you should have died long ago due to natural selection but unfortunately the government steps in on their behalf now.

well quality assurance mod

i've concerns over the latest testing in pub0 and i dont think it was conducted with the professionalism and quality that should be assured given the latest grandiose title to be dished out to themselves by staff.

anyhow some areas of concern ...
1) no forewarning in the news that there would be a test on sunday , what it would entail or how long it would be.
2) fundamentals that shouldn't be allowed to be tampered with like the locking of TWD core ships from pub were tried out.
3) the system seems to be set out as a reward system for those playing by giving them advantages when again the ethos has always been that the ships are a level playing field regardless of power-ups collected and points achieved each reset.

my fear would be given the fragile nature of the population at the moment these sorts of changes are more likely to drive away players than they are to keep new players or current players into playing more and they are also a step away from the leagues so i'd like to know WHY this was brought about and also what are the future plans regarding it.

Also what sort of vetting procedure did this go through or is it just twdev allowed free reign to test out their ideas ?

are you going to address this ?

There are checks in place. However, The person who created the system quit right after instituting it, kind of a legacy mentality. After talking to the remaining dev heads, there was a dissent on its feasability and it should not have been put into TW. I will look over the current system of uploading new stuff to TW from Dev. I accept any responsibility, as I should have had more control over the situation (As Dev head). I will see what I can do to fix it.

Thanks

there needs to be a better structure with guidelines in place and especially after reading stabwounds post it seems that there needs to be a lot more communication between staff let alone to the public.

also if you are TWDev head and QA mod then cheese needs to be axed or told to stfu as his behaviour and posts are entirely unfitting of anyone trying to represent/connected to a dev project. http://forums.trenchwars.org/showthr...l=1#post768734

when that moron is saying "who knows my priorities on matchbots" as some childish threat it lets down all dev who have worked hard to create these matchbots in the first place ...

[M_M God]

Cheese! has been already removed from staff at the beginning of this month. Dev that is.

[D1st0rt]

It would be one thing if he had any talent as a developer, but nobody should be that abrasive when they bring nothing to the table

[Ilya]

d1s has a powerpoint presentation he'd like to present to the tw board of directors

its about bots!!

[Dutch Baser]

so cheese = roxcat?

interesting.

roxcat is axed. Now we r waiting for the removal of transtunes. ty in advance 4this.




ps: roxkat how is distension thing doing?

[kthx]

yeah buddy..how is dipshitsion gping?

[bandcampgirl]

A few notes/questions.

I am making a test for doing undercover tests on the <ER>, and I would like the players opinions on what I need to check for.

What do you (the players) expect from a good Event Referee?

I already have an idea, but one of the biggest issues is that we as staff are not listening to the players.
Please keep the ideas to constructive suggestions.

Efficient, friendly hosting of the events the players want. In short, just like Charis used to! :wub:

The forum is filled with trolls, so much for the quality assurance mod

[bandcampgirl]

I should add, lena<er> was doing a good job, potential to be the next Charis. Just not putting the time in

Like this will help anything

Hey all, as you may have noticed, I recently left the ECT position. This was so I could take over the newly created as the QA (Quality Assurance) SMod.

My task is to help create better quality from our zone/forums. There has been a severe lack of communication from the staff to the players and a lack of responding to player concerns. I will be dealing with this issue.

I will be communicating using the forums, and of course in game.

My current tasks:

-Forum administration: If you have issues, I'll help deal with them. I have already fixed the weeks old forum acceptance. I am currently working on the 'contact us' and 'Staff abuse emails', hopefully they will be working shortly. If you have any concerns, please contact me in game. (Or send me an e-mail, mikebergsteinsson@hotmail.com)

-Staff quality: I will be working with all of the <ER>'s on how they host and the manner of which they interact with the public. I will also be working with the mods, on how they handle help and cheater calls, and the manner of which they handle the public. I will be compiling results and posting the overall standing of staff to the public. The results will remain anonymous to the public, but detailed results will be given to the deans for further action.

-Public communication: I will be dealing with any forum/in game issues that players have with staff until we fix the above mentioned email. Please e-mail me, i will forward all emails to the proper department of staff (Deans/Sysops/TWD/TWL/). I will also respond to all in forum issues/forum ban complaints.
I will not be dealing with in-game bans. They will still be sent to twbans@gmail.com.

Hopefully this will help restore the overall professionalism in staff, and in turn restore the faith the players have in staff.
