A Plea for Moderation

I want TemuChariot to come back

In any case I've actually brought this topic up before, mentioning that anyone who is selected to be a moderator on this forum has access to such information which is why I suggested they should hire someone outside of the scope of the game and forum to manage moderation that are less likely to be in a conflict of interest.

Yeah I mean I checked my account security page, I see my country of connection, device hostnames and user-agent name of browser I use. If it's visible for mod accessing it just for a brag it's already too much, not mentioning it can be done to check adversary fraction members.
Though I'm not sure there's enough ends for someone from outside of haven to be interested in job. Just having someone fraction neutral is good enough criteria for mod IMO, like vatas.

Vatas is absolutely not faction neutral.

Seems unrealistic to find somebody entirely neutral in a PVP game, though. Even if somebody is neutral I bet I can make them unneutral.

[Audiosmurf]

Expecting every mod to be purely faction neutral is retarded and disingenuous and just a cutesy way to argue for there to be no moderation at all

I told you to behave and your response was to create multiple accounts and spam/shitpost everywhere, even attempting to impose as other people by having almost identical names using various extended ascii characters to do it. What exactly did you expect to happen?

I've banned all of your alt accounts and your main can have a 2 week cooloff ban too.


To address the others in this thread, the report button does send a report, there is a report list that moderators can see. I've seen multiple people reporting these alt accounts over the last few weeks and i've pretty much been waiting for the moderator tools to show exactly who it was. It just so happened that they decided to do that on the thread I started about the poor player feedback from waterwheels.

Moderator tools are not nefarious, there is no doxing happening.

I also didn't take an 8 month hiatus, it was 4 months because life happens and this is a volunteer service. Just because I'm not posting doesn't mean i'm not still reacting to reports and cleaning up spam, I still did that quite regularly until I took a bit of a break from most things internet.

I do also actually think alt posts can be funny, but there is a line between funny forum drama and straight up just abusive shitposting.

... If it's visible for mod accessing it just for a brag it's already too much, not mentioning it can be done to check adversary fraction members.

The moderator tool automatically matches things and shows a list of forum accounts by the same poster, there's really nothing more in it. I (and I assume the other moderators) have no access to any finer details other than that.

I don't agree that vatas is neutral either, or even a decent moderator. I reported this one ages ago, does it look anyone did anything about it?

Which is why I said they should HIRE someone as in pay them money, to perform moderation. I doubt they will do that of course but it really is one of the only options they might have to get someone that makes decisions impartially based only on specific rules and whether or not the individual in question is breaking a rule for the first time or is a repeat offender.

Be honest with me. Are you pranking? You have to be pranking, right?

[Kaios]

bro you just said you are suspicious about crashes because moderation has access to IP addresses, yet you're one of the few players that has actively used various bugs and exploits in order to crash other players. Are you pranking?

[SnuggleSnail]

Be honest with me. Are you pranking? You have to be pranking, right?

Search what little is left of your black heart and just admit that you don't enjoy playing this game.
