This thread is a lie.

Yeah, we are a bit too lenient. Part of this stems from the fact that this is a relatively small offsite, we don't have a massive turnover of users like a developer's website does (I.e, Bnet) so bans aren't something given out lightly.

Even with being a small site people like Based Love should have been a lot sooner when he was just posting those spam threads. That's all he did and it took awhile for him to get banned. We all know Xboxdotcom just posts here to troll and nothing is being done about him. So why keep members that are not posting here to post besides trolling? That's just shit modding

I'm okay with you leaving.

You were the main person I had in mind when I wrote this post.

Best wishes.

I'll be here when you come back. We all come back.
Except Charlie. Cause cam slammed him out of existence.

Damn man, that sucks.

Spoiler

You'll still be up for a CounterStrike game every so often though? This time I actually have a laptop to run GO!

Message me on Steam anytime my friend.

As time has gone on and drama has drama'd, this community has slowly turned into a massive clusterfuck. It's pretty poorly moderated for the most part and repeat offenders come back time and time again. It took Kinder two times of posting my personal information for him to finally get perma'd. People who repeatedly harass others with malicious intent (Verb) or people who literally only troll and shitpost (Dustin) remain unpunished while calling Kinder fat at one point was a ban-worthy offence.

I'll just address this bit here.

What I think is a valid concern is the repeat offenders, there is actually an already established precendent/system for dealing with users who pull this shit and it's probably time it was dusted off and brought to the fore a bit more >.> I'll link it below.

This was brought out to deal with some serious drama llama infestations, and it worked at the time. It's a bit too medieval to be used as vigorously in my opinion, but if we set a certain threshold of warning points at which this will apply then there shouldn't be an issue.

There's still 'issues' so to speak like non-mods being in the staff chat.

That would be slightly unrelated to this I think <.<

A topic for another day >.>

Also everyone keep an eye out for an announcement, I think we are going to update this and enforce it on the users who meet the criteria.

I don't want to take this too off-topic and take away from Desticle's goodbye, but staff != ninja. The mod squad has their own separate chat for that stuff (there're 2 chats for Ninjas and 1 for non-Ninja staff).

It's a fair point, but it's mostly for the giving people a fair chance to turn things around approach. If they were just perma'd straight off the bat it would be unfair but yeah there is going to be a bit of a crackdown on users who do spend their time here maliciously.

After all avoiding the issue is how you solve it..

I'll continue to reply until I feel I've finished the thread BTW.

The two other folks in question literally don't have any power anymore. It's pointless to keep them on board.

This ties into the bigger problem that... there doesn't seem to be many good reasons behind the mods doing what they're doing. Taking too long to ban users like Kinder, keeping redundant staff members... what's the point of it all?

Trolling in the general sense shouldn't be against the rules (in the flood).  If a user uses their account solely for the purpose of trolling and you don't want to see them anymore you should mute them.

If it doesn't already exist there should also be a practice of banning people from serious only.

Desticle, we never really crossed paths here due to us both posting in different ways in different topics, but you were a fun guy.
So best of luck irl and maybe one day you'll come back.

It's been talked about actually. It would probably work on a nameplate system. I'm not sure how those talks went down.

Muting is for women, and not tough, hard women, but the soft and squishy ones.

Leaving for a lot of the same reasons as me. Goodbye.

Speaking of which, I should probably write up a goodbye paragraph or two in a bit.

Welp, that about wraps things up it looks like. Thanks for the kind words. I'll check back here tomorrow as well in case anyone else has said anything.

See you space cowboy.

I don't know what flood you're talking about but it's been like this.

But whatever. Bye I guess.

See ya.

You're a big guy.
