oooo warns me for "triggering bots"

[kthx]

I don't want to quit the game, none of the players involved in this want to quit the game, but the game is becoming unplayable because of retarded staffers who are in positions they shouldn't be in, id rather try fixing it before giving up on it honestly.

And even though Flared is doing a great job with TWL this year I can't help but wonder if staff wasn't so full of people who care more about the power instead of the population they should be helping if PH wouldn't still be running TWL and Flared could be doing something else in another aspect of staff to make things even better in two departments instead of one.

Now, you guys know you can push for these ridiculous restrictions to end via other means, right? I've never quite understood the methods you've used despite being supportive of your cause. Going out and talking about things in public while using terms that have questionable context, then turning around and complaining about it? Generally speaking, that just comes across as whiny and petty. Everyone gets the message you're trying to convey, but you're just making yourself look childish in the process. Relaxing your use of these "offensive" words will help things out, I think. Someday, it will all come to an end, and that day will come faster if you're just nicer about it.

Cres: y ganon night vs us on forums

If we didn't have bots programmed to spam staff every time someone says the word chink then there would never have been a problem. If i was staff I would be pissed off, too. Pissed that we have a bot programmed to alert the players who are staff every time one of many words are spoken in any arena no matter what the cause. Who adds words to this? Why? Has it really helped staff out, being notified of this conversation and being frustrated by a bot that was originally intended to KEEP SCORE OF GAMES? YOU REMEMBER? THE GAME?

When i changed the racism rules to silence instead of banning, it was to keep people in the zone rather then making them disappear. If its being used to punish people who genuinely are having normal conversations.

FFS guys, all i am going to say is, with all this whinging not one of you did a damn screenshot so i can actually see the context you were talking when the warning came in, and just like players where nothing is evidenced i will make sure they are not punished its the same for staff, ie. get some damn screenshots of it. IF it is the case, that you were warned unfairly, then i will deal with it and the staffer involved as over zealous bang op's is a receipe for disaster. As for volcs, i have known volcs for about 11yrs and not once have i known her to be racist, so this would be a first if it has happened.

Send any screenshots you get to twbans@gmail.com and i will sort it out.

I'm not racist. Aura was annoyed and out of line. He banned me for "evading silence" (ban) and says he had grounds based on a warning PL gave me in jest days earlier.

I'm not emailing to have this "sorted" as my ban is a 24 hour one.

Through the >10yrs you've known me - I'm sure you know that this also isn't over.

Wish you were online for this Demonic, you would have died laughing at the shit flying out of staff mouths (fingertips?).

Volcs is a chick in the armor

[the_paul]

I wouldn't come back until there are some serious changes in staff communication inside and out. You think staff communication is bad with the playerbase? You should see the communication inside of it. Good God it's bad

[MaGi kOz]

Kthx picking a fight? You were on staff. You knew beforehand what you could do with the bots to get people to respond to you and you decided to do it Malcolm X style. Everyone else involved is just a puppet with his hands up their asses, he can get them to do anything and only receive a measly hour or two silence or even a 1 day ban, if anything. Totally worth it, getting the rush of going against authority even if it was small time space ship authority. But Kthx has the master plan and is willing to take it to a level of half-truths and propaganda that Hitler himself would've been proud to see.

Anyways. I started off reading this thread first and found myself pissed at my Mods for performing so poorly. But then I heard both sides of this and did a personal investigation of what I could take from both sides and if my opinion mattered, everyone who was warned/banned got what they deserve, if not more, and everything that needs to be said has already been said (Vatican Assassin).

As far as I can tell, this thread has ran its course and should predictably veer BACK into trollville where it started.

what you do, knowing the result it might have, is still on you more than anyone else
dont stick your face in a lions mouth

When I was a mod I was the racism nazi and did a butt-ton of bans for racism. But even I looked at the context of the sentences before warning or banning. That's saying something. I'm all for VA's post, was good. Almost tldr'd it, but took the time. Good stuff.
