Why do users display "Available Points" instead of "Total Points"?
For what the points mean or don't mean, seeing and ranking by total points is more informative that the current display of available points, no?

Why the mods are being selective?
Why they take actions against a player who breaks a rule and don't take actions against a player who breaks the same rule as the other one? What's the point of the rules then?

The two cases I was referring to were the ones I personally handled split, one of them you didn't agree with the decision and appealed to abge, and then to Kestas when you didn't agree with abge's decision. That was the situation where action was taken.

The other case I mentioned was the 2nd time you reported an offense, in which I contacted the player in question and ensured the action stopped. In both cases action was taken. You can call me a liar if you wish, but it's not accurate.

"Fuck you, asshole.
And, just so you know, saying "he lies about this" is calling him a liar. That's the fucking definition, shit for brains who can't understand simple English. I think you should be docked points or silenced or both for calling a mod a liar. I know if I were one, I'd silence you for 24 hours and dock you 11236 D. "

This is the guy I'm backing as the next Mod ...... him or Krellin or bo_sox :-)

I actually have some butter popcorn covered in salt but I'm not sure 1 bag is going to be enough.....
I was referring to the one in which action wasn't taken.That one is above the rules. And when I say "you" I don't mean you personaly but the mod team,it's all same to me who handled it,it's important you are being selective.

I think someone needs a cuddle .....
Wow, if you ever wanted a thread to make sure you thoroughly discourage existing and future mods from contributing to the site, then this is how you do it.

In general, I'm damn happy with the mod team. From my experience, they take reports of abuse seriously, they take pro-active action to make sure all is well, and from what I can see most decisions are weighed carefully and actions taken decisively.

You can't ask the mods to not be selective. You can't ask them to not be subjective. They call shots the computer cannot. So by nature, they are both these things. They make calls. Some you agree with so you rejoice, some you don't and you move on. The only thing you can expect (demand!) them to do is act with integrity and honesty. And I haven't found fault with any of them in that regard.

And if you do want to talk about integrity of mods, then just email Kestas, since that's where you need to be.

If SplitD wants to have a moan where better to share it than with his old comrades here on the forum..... this is where it all happens. If Jesus come back today (if he is not already back that is) and signed on here he would probably assume we were all great mates having a bit of banter ..... then he'd go sort out that twat Netanyahu.
bump.Ok,so anyone else has never seen or felt some people are protected by the mods here. Apologies then.Case closed. Good night chikens.

SD your perspective is a bit different from most of us. You play sooooo many games you get to see the mods at their best and their worst (or what it is you perceive to be their worst) far more than average players. Unfortunately it is the negative the tends to stick in our minds the most.

Eh, I got silenced by Zultar for jokingly claiming blank was a multi. That's something that people around here do all the time, but they usually just get off with a warning. I'm not going to make a big deal out of it, because that's not what it is, but it happens. If the mods caused any real problems with it, then maybe this discussion might actually merit a thread, but sometime mods just don't like people.

There is always three ways that you can deal with mods supposedly not liking you. Number 1 - Stop acting like a dick. Number 2 - Appeal to Kestas. Number 3 - Go play somewhere else. Complaining on the forum helps no one.
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
24 Apr 13 UTC
@KA, I suspect you'd been previously warned if you got silenced for that.

@jimgov, there are plenty of people the mods aren't thrilled with. That isn't going to get them silenced, banned, or punished in any way. Though #1 is always an appreciated decision :)

#3 is not a preferred decision though. In no way does the moderator team impact people's ability to play games.

i have a question:













who cares
bump.@Jamie you know it's not allowed to talk about rules breaking on the forums. A mod said though I could talk about it refering to a PLAYER A and PLAYER B or something like that and I've explained it in the start of the thread - PLAYER A has been prosecuted because he broke a rule and PLAYER B hasn't been prosecuted having violated the same rule.It's simple - PLAYER B has no need to follow the rules because he somehow knows he wont be prosecuted.The question is why? They said they haven't understood what was it about but that was only a false excuse because they have. The point is they are corrupted.End of story.
Draugnar (0 DX)
25 Apr 13 UTC
@Split - If this is the situation to which jmo referred earlier, then he said both had been punished. Again, you insist alld etaiuls were the same, but youy can't possibly know everything the mods learned. No two cases are alike and no two punishments should be.
He didn't say that.Read his message again.
Draugnar (0 DX)
25 Apr 13 UTC
Yes. He. Did. I have quoted for you *exactly* where he said it before. You are just too fucking stubborn to accept that *both* were punished.
I'm not either PLAYER A or PLAYER B. And one of the cases he was refering to was about me.Why don't you read the thread before you decide to participate in the thread?
I found it for you as you are so retarded to find it.

@ split, I believe you're referring to the two times you reported a potential rule violation. The first time you were asked by 2 mods several times for clarification because they (I didn't handle that case) didn't understand what you were referring to. By the time the matter was explained the game was over.

In the second situation the problem was explained and the player in question was contacted and stopped the potential rule abuse.
Draugnar (0 DX)
25 Apr 13 UTC
There has been no specifics mentioned. So I have read the thread douche nozzle. Here is jmo's post *in *FUCKING* full*!

"@Split, I have handled two cases regarding you, action was taken in both. One action you saw, the other you did not. We do not publicize punishments as a rule. If you don't believe the other moderators and I that the situations were resolved then talk to Kestas. He actually does look into those matters. If you don't trust or want to talk to Kestas then I don't know what to tell you. "

So, he says two case. He says one you know about the action, the other you don't. He says action was taken *in both*. You, sir, are a bitter cocksucking moron and need to get over it. And I hope you get muted for this constant shit you are drudging up.

But get more specific. No player names but say what they supposedly did that one got away with and the other didn't.
Who is too fucking stubborn now?
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
25 Apr 13 UTC
When people break the rules they are warned if it is a minor offense, or punished with docked points or a silence if it is a major offense. If the offenses continue the person is docked 50%+ of their points or banned. No one gets away with breaking the rules multiple times. But per Kestas's wishes we lean towards second chances/leniency. Using a pause for diplomatic reasons is not going to get someone seriously punished on their first offense. I told you both situations were taken care of and they were. If you see that particular problem again then report it and it will be dealt with, if you don't then I suppose it means our approach worked.
Draugnar (0 DX)
25 Apr 13 UTC
OK, so it's your two rule violation reports. In one the game was over before a decision could be reached. Nothing can be done. Mod powers *are* limited after all. There are certain things that trying to do would risk corrupting the database and crashing the site. The second was caught in time and action taken. In both cases, the mods did what they could do. It had jack shit to do with favoritism. But you can't see that cause you got your fucking blinders on.
Draugnar (0 DX)
25 Apr 13 UTC
It was a diplomatic pause thing? Hell! I was one of two people who forced a draw and forced the mods to *create* that rule! LOL! Is the first one my case? That would be so fucking funny!
So Draugnar why you post when you are not sure what are you talking about? Who is too fucking stubborn now? And as for jmo - they haven't done anything about the PLAYER B, that's the only truth.Again.
