Oh come on Pluto, just say yes or no lol
that would be too easy for a philosopher of his standingsOh come on Pluto, just say yes or no lol
I signed up for the cult!
This is the worst part about moderation
Players can't know why they are banned so they make up reasons and claim their innocence etc.. Makes the player base hate and mistrust the moderators and Inno. Also results in many players quitting the game or stop spending money on it.
yes or no lolOh come on Pluto, just say yes or no lol
^ I can back this up for when I played in a former world. Got reported for my city names being in the Dragon Language (Skyrim - Much like my game name is) and was locked-out and given the reason why saying the words "weren't english". Which they were, provided the evidence and was placed back in immediately.
Who was I mad at? The alliance whose butt I was kicking that reported me because I was the leader of the team kicking their butts. I came back and took 20 cities as a thank you present lol
yes or no lol
^^ sufficient?
We try to get the players back to the game as quick as possible especially in cases such as this.
As far as reporting to get players banned while you are being attacked, We're smarter than that. Too bad I can't give examples of some epic attempts and situations.
You are incorrect on that. If you are banned and attempt to log in, you get a pop up on your screen that indicates the ban reason, the ban's duration, the type of ban (attackable vs non-attackable) and a few other related tidbits of information regarding that particular ban, normally in the form of a paragraph or two. For example: if player 'x' was banned for multi-accounting, the respective ban information would show on their screen when they try to log in. So they are made aware of why they were banned and for how long etc, we just don't tell them how we discovered them.
Also keep in mind that we only talk to the player(s) involved, what they tell everyone else is their respective business. Believe me, there have been many times I would have LOVED to dispel ban misinformation about a player to other players, but since we are not permitted to do so....
Not what I meant.
I've been a moderator, I know everything you can see. And I know you can't tell players all of the things you can see, because then "over time players will learn how to circumvent your tools and get away with cheating." You can't tell player x exactly what you found that lead to him/her being banned, only the reason for the ban itself.. Even if the ban is wrong. I've been wrongfully banned before - many players have.
When a player is wrongfully banned, and cannot be told exactly what flagged them for the ban, there becomes a sense of mistrust towards the moderators. This is why many players think the support team is corrupt. The support team is not perfect. If they could divulge more, then the player could explain why their ban placement is incorrect, and the moderator would learn something. As it is, the moderator often has to showboat to save face and stick with the reasoning for the ban often w/out actually reconsidering... And the player can do nothing as they're not fully informed.
As for your ban Sunvaar, of course they can tell you exactly why you were banned there, as that is common sense and doesn't reveal the nature or extent of any of their tools.
1) No, you jerk <3
Though even without the playfulness of the <3 I do in fact still play. But no, I am not going to disclose what world or my player name. Those whom I have built years of trust with know my true identity. I'm sure by now you could probably ask around and with a little bit of investigation figure out who I am. I do ask that you keep it to yourself though. We keep this level of invincibility for a reason.
Meh, pestering you is more fun lol
Hope you enjoyed your Easter!
1)I f there is no rules for a problem that comes up, it is up to the CoMa's discretion to make a rule? For example when world chats on skype became popular there became a rule that you could only post the link if the chat was PC/family friendly and had a mod in it.
2) Why is there such an emphasis on speaking family friendly? It's really hard to have a conversation when you have to check over what you write to make sure there are no inappropriate words. This especially got tougher as the list seemed to expand to more and more words that were not really offensive or inappropriate at all. I also would like to know why city names, alliance names, and profiles are subject to being family friendly. Seems like an unnecessary restriction on free speech.
Not really sure if there is a point in asking this but:
3) With every CoMa there are some people who feel they are unfairly targeted by the CoMa or someone in upper management. If they have legitimate concern what can they do to ensure they will be treated fairly treated?
People seemed to have this problem a lot a few years ago. They would get on the bad side of somebody at the top and have no way to report unfair treatment.
My problem is that the rules says you can call a player a noob and other respectful taunts. I do not know of any "respectful taunts" that haven't at one point or another been deemed inappropriate by one or some in the moderation team. Any word other than noob can't really be said at all and that seems ridiculous, context does matter and should be used to determine whether the bad word is inappropriate.
