  1. I’m honestly so sick of seeing people comment on applications, basing their definitive opinion of someone on the words of their ‘friend’ or ‘group’. If you’re going to throw accusations at someone that supposedly are true and a reason for the person being so terrible, at least show up with receipts and proof. Give us a first-hand, personal experience of the person that you’ve had, or don’t comment at all. Because otherwise, you look like someone’s minion, doing their bidding.

      LotC social politics is pretty cancer.

       

      Regardless, I wouldn't worry. If people are putting low to no effort feedback, then the reviewer will look at it with low to no effort.

      That's how we operated in moderation and I know several managers of other teams (at the time) shared the same sentiment.

  2. i would say that someone should make a universal cards against humanity deck for lotc but nobody will get all the jokes?

      already done, I never got around to finishing it though. It’s a bit outdated but has some solid lotc memes in it

      Ah the classic. It seems that whenever critiques are raised about how anyone in the administration is taking a direction for a team, it results in either the critique being ignored or individuals being removed. Speaking from experience haha

      Considering who they'e been adding to staff lately, including higher up staff, if you actually got removed for abuse this is extremely ironic. Rest in peace Joel and join the club. I quit before they found my duped diamonds

  6. @Druids – Can I make another druid please? I miss you … ?

  7. I hope by now it is clear that most of the ‘toxicity’ that comes around player bases from their leadership is mostly derived from staff pushing the constant need to be on the server at a very consistent play-style, otherwise there is punishment that comes for not having as many people online as your neighbours. Which causes discontent between the leaders of the settlement who wants his little town to flourish and the residents who simply want to have a fun time on a server whilst also living their life outside of the server. Rules and punishments that revolve around time and activity only end up hurting what they are built to support.

      the server’s loads of fun when you don’t give a **** and just hop on as a pass-time

       

      but you have to give a **** with a lot of the stuff these days, such as the activity checks that push more than they should

  10. @Pun why are you punishing a playerbase because you managed to lose activity data and are incapable of running a command to get the data manually 

    1. J

      J

      yeah, that was actually a really bad call.

       

      just as you aren’t at fault for the plugin, neither are they. you make compromises with players when things like that happen, not throw the blame.

       

      glad the situation was fixed up, but this took a toll on PR

    What is the actual point of there being an age requirement of 13 when it isn’t actually enforced in any way. There are people who clearly underage that are able to continue playing the server. But why? What’s stopping them from just claiming to be 13 (or some other close number) despite in reality being a preteen. LotC has had issue with pedophiles in the past that take advantage of this problem that plagues LotC. In fact, the pedophilia problem is one of the biggest reasons why people who used to play aren’t anymore. The age requirement, from my understanding, is to prevent younger people from graphic roleplay and on the darker side being under the influence of nefarious neckbeard predators that are attracted to roleplay servers like LotC while also filtering and keeping the more mature players in and kicking the immature players out if they don’t seem LotC-roleplay ready (which honestly doesn’t mean a lot these days). So with this in mind, why isn’t much been done to prevent incidents that result because of obvious preteens still playing. This could be prevented to some extent by raising the age requirement a few years higher (to 16 or 17 even) and temporarily banning younger players to ensure that the average maturity among players is higher and to prevent (or at least discourage those) who try to take advantage of young players. Of course, I think removing child predators is a much preferable alternative but unfortunately we can’t get them all until they do something wrong to show that they are one..

     

    tl;dr Increase age requirement to discourage child predators and increase average maturity levels.

     

    Yes, I acknowledge it isn’t 100% effective but I know it would be better than what we have now.

      Perfect idea. Let's just assume ages based on circumstantial soft evidence and/or behaviour profiling. I've seen 30 year olds on here act like 5 year olds, this isn't a suitable way to confidently gauge an age enough so the rule could be enforced without scrutiny.

      we either breach privacy by confirming ages through I.D

       

      or we just push discouragement for a younger audience instead with this risk in mind

       

      both are pretty awful scenarios, and ideally this wouldn’t even have to be a problem to begin with. But it is, and at the end of the day, it’s unfair to force minors to confirm their age through photo ID just to play the game

  14. Imagine requiring moderators to be present and not just doing a field battle against each other, 2 birds 1 stone. No idiots typing about chicken in the chat n u get to fight ez

      First of all, my name’s literally right there on the page man.

       

      Second of all, I was already travelling 3 hours to see my nan at the time. I was there in spirit, but ultimately I’ll always put IRL before LotC. Already given my fair share of insurmountable and unconditional hours to staff, nan’s more important.

      When people have tens to hundreds of hours of work to lose, they’re gonna try and abuse every avenue they (il)legally can.

       

      Expecting a fair field battle organized by two parties in a warclaim would be an absolute sight to behold. But guess I’m cynical.

  20. Moderation team is recruiting currently so if you ever had complaints about the GMs and think their job is easy then apply and see if you can handle what they do every day

      I used to complain about the GM team back in the day quite a bit, then I was told to join it and give it a shot myself.

       

      Unfortunately, feels like most people now would rather just complain. Fair bit of the time it's not even constructive anymore. Hope that changes
