State of Trench Wars Staff

[the_paul]

come to you personally mm? And how am I supposed to do that? You're either afk or ignoring me in game when I PM you, and just look at the time on your post: Today 06:25 AM. Is that was I'm supposed to do? Get up at 6:30 to have you ignore me? Grow up

[roxxkatt]

I know these forums are the perfect place for you people to stirr things up, and cause confusion. However, you guys are indeed on a witch hunt here. You are so fully focussed on getting trancetunes axed that you are overlooking the bigger picture here. Trancetunes indeed does his job, at the beginning he has been overeager to prove himself and yes we have set him straight about that, and I have read every thread about him, how stupid they may have been sometimes. Some of your cases required talking to him and setting him straight and/or warning him. However, none of these alleged cases justified axing him in any way. Also, I think going on names similar to his and trying to piss him off so he will make mistakes is just plain sad. This has to come from both sides here, he leaves you guys alone unless you do something actually illegal, and you guys should just leave him alone and give him another chance. People grow up you know? I can name enough examples of current staffers who acted very immature in the past, but grew up and now serve staff and the TW Community to their best intentions.
Also, I only see you guys spilling your guts out on forums, if this is so 'important' then come straight to me instead of just posting new forum threads about him everytime something supposedly has happened. Thanks.

now that the dean of staff has closed the book on this, lets lock this thread and ban any of the retards that start new ones or bump old ones

time to cut out the cancer

If you run into a bank waving a gun and say "I DEMAND TO KNOW MY CREDIT SCORE," don't get upset if you get shot by the SWAT sniper on the roof across the street before you find out.

If you had actually read the post you'd have seen that at no point did I dispute my ban. Stark you're better than this, I hope this was just an everyday overlook.

Cheese, what would you define cancer as? I'd define cancer as someone who can bring down zones and kill them. Looking at your sig you have 3 dead zones that you ended up running. Who's the cancer here bud?

Trancetunes deserves a promotion


I mean his mere presence makes other people want to log on just to talk to him!

I would like to disagree with this. I understand your position here m_m. This is a person who is very high in terms of quota count (which is hard to find these days), and you should always defend your people. On top of that people are being quite over-zealous about trying to get this particular individual removed from staff. However, what they are saying is not completely unfounded. In my brief experience staffing with Trancetunes, as well as a few other people that I believe I was open with my disapproval about, he lacks a necessary component of respect. It is something that you don't often get to see because of your well established position on staff and the fact that you can have these people's asses at the drop of a hat if you so choose. When I talk about respect I am referring to two kinds of respect: 1) respect for the people you serve 2) respect for those with whom you serve

Now the second kind is probably the one you see the least and is the more discrete case. Being one of the few staffers who didn't ever sleep and was always on during "dead zones" I would hear a lot of idle banter amongst the ranks in staff chat. To put it bluntly, all they do is bitch about eachother and defame eachother when no one is watching. I cannot count the number of times I have seen things such as: 6:Tranctunes> blah blah blah 8:Random staffer> omg if this guy doesn't shut up i am going to punch him in the face. such an idiot. The fact is that it happens and it goes untouched (I understand that there are many reasons behind this, so I am trying not to be hyper critical). Basically there are people who are looked at on staff as worthless because they do nothing, there are staffers that are looked at as worthless simply because they lack intelligence, and then there are the disrespectful ones. The problem with the latter is that it tends to leak out into the public sphere, whereas the two former are fairly self contained.

The first kind is something that I am sure you are readily aware of, being that you field the majority of complaints. Be that as it may, you are right in that these people are being over-zealous. Consider this: some of the top call takers have near 250-300 calls a month. Now in a month there are maybe what? 6 complaints about this guy? That is like 1-2% of that person's calls. So in general he has a 98-99% satisfaction rate. That is fucking amazing in most businesses. All of this said in his defense, I will state that TT, HMS, and Evildeed probably receive the most complaints from what I have seen. And it has been a constant thing since the moment I joined staff. Perhaps something needs to be SERIOUSLY done on that end.

My last comment is a suggested revision to staff protocol. There is a current rule that when you are off your staff name you are somewhat exempt from having to follow certain aspects of staff protocol. That should be removed. It just warrants people changing names to be complete dickbags during matches or spammers to people they hate. If you aren't professional at all times you are putting forth a bad image for the entirety of staff.

G'day,

I made it so you could make a poll and find out where the zone stood on the # thing. Your ban itself was a legit ban. It's similar to the rule 11 in TW.

However, having the poll made would stop the ban happening again.

I don't get it.. how was I suppose to make a poll during my ban? why did you think I asked you to make it for me. had I known you were completely useless I would of went to Jason first. just say you dont want to help next time, don't promise to help and do completely nothing afterwards #thanksjason

Draft can you take this 1v1 vendetta elsewhere? Still waiting on an actual response here and it's less likely the more cluttered this thread is.

oh my bad but I think this is the best you'll get.

Trancetunes indeed does his job, at the beginning he has been overeager to prove himself and yes we have set him straight about that, and I have read every thread about him, how stupid they may have been sometimes.

"Trancetunes indeed does his job" - I can do my job too, half-assed.

"yes we have set him straight" - you sure have, hes a changed man. #delusional

"However, none of these alleged cases justified axing him in any way." - what does it take to axe him? certainly not banning people numerous times over some some issues that don't require a ban, but require a conversation with the individual. maybe if he constantly hosted JAVUFC he could finally get axed?

"come straight to me" - works, you won't be afk. /sarcasm.

[kthx]

Or making the ban comment "banned him for being a prick stopping this before it starts" as if banning someone for being a prick is a real reason for a ban.

And I guess the last time staff talked with him and allegedly reprimanded him that was bullshit also since MM wants to use the word allegedly for this guys numerous cases of abuse that were supposed to be getting handled the time before he last 10 times.
