ski_king3 0 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Isn't Rittsy away for a month? Pretty sure he has vacation or dorm issues or something. Quite to the contrary, I'd say ramp up the tightness of moderation. For when people want to vent and be unpleasant we've got Skype. The forums, however, are the face of the server. Let's keep 'em clean. Be civil and no FM will take issue with you. Also this.

Redbaron™ 690 Share Posted July 8, 2014 You'd have to try pretty hard to do all the wrong things not to get a response. :o I think it's pretty straightforward, if you have a serious suggestion you should follow through based on your own incentive. If one admin isn't responding or is away it's not anyone else but your own fault you didn't follow through with other admins or got some GM's to pay attention to your issue(s). I can tell you that staff take those kinds of people who PM them and explain their ideas thoroughly much more seriously than those who post feedback on the public forums. No, garnering reputation points from forum lurkers doesn't make your opinion powerful. I don't have anything against this poster but I do want to make an example of this topic. There is a pretty evident problem with one staff member here, I suggest contacting them personally and approach the situation very respectfully and neutrally. Contacting the lore admin when Tythus is the FM admin is a questionable approach, but perhaps you would see why your query didn't receive a response. (he may have also simply missed it). Moved to Support & Assistance forum. Dusks report wasn't answered for months before finally it came to a point it had to be clear to the community he was posting a ban report on her. Sometimes people just don't wanna hear what they don't wanna hear 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aedan The Bard 350 Share Posted July 8, 2014 She even quotes the rules http://gyazo.com/1792f62cab92d3a8df39a6e7c5d394e5 and yet she does not adhere in other cases, such as Adunia, which is heavily based off that of Scottish Culture and the Teutons which is primarily copied of wikipedia. Adunians ARE NOT based off of scottish culture. I am sorry, but that is just someone's fantasy that ended up morphing the original Adunian culture into celtic/gaelic/scottish stuff. The real Adunian culture is a combination of High Class human culture and Elven culture. It's best described as medieval nobles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypoacher 8055 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I got most of my warning points for posting in Ban Appeals/Reports. Why the hell can't you post in ban appeals? If your buddy wants to get unbanned and you have something to say pertaining to why he should be unbanned, why can't you do that? These forum rules are irritating and contradictory, and FMs are using the rules hyper-literally to censor people that make them feel bad and completely ignoring other people when they infringe on the rules. Enforce them strictly without a double standard or don't enforce them strictly at all, it's ****ing stupid. Edit: I'd like to see the forums absolutely purged of every irritating, militant thing said, and most of the OOC fighting/shitposting/utter bullshit swept up, but currently it's just being dealt with halfassedly by FMs that don't care and abuse their positions to suppress valid opinions. There needs to be a change, somehow. I am against this idea, but I do commiserate with Kipples's FM woes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telanir 6975 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Dusks report wasn't answered for months before finally it came to a point it had to be clear to the community he was posting a ban report on her. Sometimes people just don't wanna hear what they don't wanna hear I don't see what there is to not hear on an internet community halfway across the globe. I hear everything people tell me and I'm willing to hear it out for improvement sake, that's called being mature and our administration is assuredly just that. Dusks report was a situation with a completely different staff as well, what is to say that today our current staff is not responsive and attentive? :) I reckon that direct conversation is still head and heels above public forum posts. If none other I will use myself as an example, if we discuss something in Skype I will give you my full attention. If its something important and you PM me I'll make sure you're heard. But if its some post on the forums where you add a hint somewhere that you might just at some point be displeased with what I'm doing, I'm not obliged to kiss up. Two cents. ^-^ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnoy23 202 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I got most of my warning points for posting in Ban Appeals/Reports. Why the hell can't you post in ban appeals? If your buddy wants to get unbanned and you have something to say pertaining to why he should be unbanned, why can't you do that? Well, you see, if you read this thread - http://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/94688-read-first-format-and-rules-to-appeal-your-ban/ - and ALL of it, it clearly says " Do not post on an appeal unless you are the player who posted it or the GM handling it. Character Witnesses can PM the GM handling the report with anything they feel needs to be said. " So, you can just PM the GM handling it. You don't need to post on it, if you feel like he should unbanned, go ahead and PM the GM. NO ONE else has any use for it anyways, so why does it matter? What will it change if the person who matters and 2 dozen people who likely are irrelevant see it? Nothing. It makes clutter, it looks unprofessional.

I've never had the opportunity to talk to you so I cannot/will not/have not judged you. It's just a common trend I see in all levels of this server, players, staff, Gms, Admins.

gabriel101x1 463 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I agree that the staff could be a bit more lax with the forums. I often see warnings given for posts that I wouldn't have warned players for myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
