[Your View] Villain Application: 'Rehab'

[Sky 0]

The following is a proposal I am putting forth, and the community is something I value to have their input in. Now, I expect there to be a kneejerk reaction, but there will not be a 'tl;dr' at the end. Please read it all, and if you have a question then ask, I will happily answer. Keep in mind, my project after this, is to detail what classifies as 'poor villainy' and what constitutes as 'villainy', this thread isn't  to discuss what does and doesn't count as doing such roleplay, it's to discuss this proposed system. So, here we go.

 

-

 

Once a player has been blacklisted more than twice due to poor villainy, or has received a substantial ban for partaking in poor villainy, said player is added to a public list of players who are indefinitely villain blacklisted and are required to write out a new and improved villain application in order for them to partake in villainous activities thereafter. The process is simple, they copy the format and paste it in a new thread, all fields are to be filled in and a member of the game moderator subteam which handles villainy will look over it, and as a team, will be decided whether it is acceptable or not. The idea behind the applications is not to force your everyday player into having to have an application in order to conduct villainous activities, but more so to monitor players who are simply poor at providing villainy roleplay.

Application

 

Minecraft accounts:

Links to all blacklists:

Links to all bans:

Which characters conduct villainous activities:

What reasons do said characters have to conduct such:

Why should the application be accepted:

 

-

 

The application will be account based, if a player wishes to add onto the list of characters and reasonings, they will simply have to contact the staff member who handled the original application (if accepted), or edit onto it and inform the staff member handling it (if claimed). If a player upon the list is conducting villainous activities without an accepted application, or if a character who is not upon an accepted villain application is conducting villainous activities, the player will be met with a ban. The reason for the ban is that when a player is at the stage of needing a villain application, said player has already been issued multiple blacklists or already have been given a substantial ban, all in regards to poor villainy roleplay and thus are treated as a repeat offender.

 

Just to affirm, you will not be told to have a villain application if you slip up and give a singular case of poor villainy, you will not be told to have a villain application if people simply constantly complain about you but you’ve broken no rules, you will not be told to have a villain application if you are an everyday roleplayer. However, you will be told if you are a repeat offender who has not learned from a multitude of events which revolve around you giving poor villain role play without any attempt to improve.

I like this idea

I almost screamed then i read it some more. im ok with this

Maybe do a 3 strikes system instead of 2, since after the first strike they can start improving and still get blacklisted before they completely fix themselves. - or that would be an argument.

Where's my ******* credit?

[Cat Evocation 3728]

haha I remember back in the day when you had to write villian applications and you had to write paragraphs. 

 

 

 

@Sky So is this format basically for people who were blacklisted 2 times so now they gotta do an app? Or did I read that wrong

It's for someone who's had more than two blacklists, or a large ban, (substantial ones) that involved poor villainy. Plus, this will not be forced upon those who already have the blacklists, or some blacklists are small and would not be counted. I totally believe people can easily improve upon the first or second mess up

seems like a system meant to keep certain people out of villainy, subject to the will of a small group of people

 

frankly i think a blacklist is enough. do the crime, serve your time, leave it at that

If it has gotten to the point that they have been given multiple blacklists, or a long ban, I don't see how it's enough to be quite honest, clearly they aren't learning at all.

An example could be you have two blacklists prior and decide to go give someone really shitty villainy, it's reported and you're given another blacklist, you are then put onto said list and are expected to fill this out if you wish to continue performing villainy. (Once the final blacklist has been done, aka. waited it's time out.)

Cool, a hindrance to people who refuse to learn. I like it.

[GodEmperorFlam 3447]

Tbh this should kick in once someone has gotten their second blacklist, not their third. Crack down on **** sooner rather than later.

This works

Links to all blacklists:

 

are players meant to link every blacklist they have had, or just ones after the implementation of this system? (IE: link all their blacklists or just the 2 that required them to make a villainy app?)

 

Also, if they for some reason were blacklisted, made a villainy app, did bad villainy rp, then were re-blacklisted, would they have to link all 4 blacklists or just the most recent 2 that led them to need to make a new villainy app?

All blacklists that involve villainy are to be linked, as to see the list of problems they have had with villainous roleplay. This is something that can be easily checked by the moderators, so it's more so to see if they are aware of all the blacklists they've simply not improved from. They wouldn't be re-blacklisted if they did bad villain activity after their application, they would be handed a ban, and will be approached by the staff member who handled their accepted application, the situation will be discussed and whether they need to make a new villain app or not will be decided on a case by case basis.

I think two strikes is good, makes it a bit more strict. One warning and then the second you get blacklisted and have to do the app. Having too many 'second chances' when it comes to villainy isn't a good idea. Bad villainy rp, as in breaking the rules, makes so many people salty and gives a bad rep for villains. If you want to do villain rp, do it right. Only one or two warnings, unless its a small misunderstanding or simple mistake.
