Onderwerp: Long bans for speaking in chat

bans for talking recklessly in chat need to reduced to a moderate time frame. Personal vendettas should not be reflected in those punishments. An entire clan is being punished because someone gets insulted or mocked in a silly chat sequence. NOT fair to the clan involved.

Re: Long bans for speaking in chat

This game used to be FUN.

The dictatorship on stable 2 is unbelievable!

Poor poor choice of mod/admin there, sorry. I have played this game a very long time, much longer than either of them. I know I am not the only one who has complained.

Personal vendettas have NO place when modding/admin'ing a game. Ever.

Re: Long bans for speaking in chat

the player involved has created 5 multi accounts, he has been warned several times.
imho this hurts to player at first and then the clan who tolerates that behaviour.
The reason he was banned was for inapropriate behaviour in chat, creating multi's won't lift any ban but will render all other accounts useless for chat.

We have simple and fair rules, rule number one is that you don't ruin other people's fun!

I hope you enjoy MoW, you are only banned for 5 minutes and you've been given the reason as well.

Thank you for allowing me to explain myself.

Your village is 38100% bigger than the defending village. You will probably lose 90 honour by attacking this village. If someone of your clan attacked this village earlier, every clan member will lose honour.

There is no personal vendetta, there is abuse and we're fighting that.
Thank you for replying here and expressing your opinion, we're aware of it now.

I hope you do feel a lot better now that you know there are no personal vendetta's big_smile

Re: Long bans for speaking in chat

Look what I just got!!!

From:      Demo
To:     Ishtar
chat
PLease stop ruining game atmosphere with discussions about bans and such.
You have acces to the mod panel on the global forum, feel free to discuss it there.
If not, i will reset or ban your account as well, i really don't care about any personal issues anyone have, i want this server to work.

I know the drills, been a bad boy myself as you know.... and i've been very good at being bad...
I just don't want to be a bad mod, and no matter how populair you guys are, it's behaviour that's not tolerated!!

So i'm asking you nice, stop ruining the chat and therefore the game!

Greetings,

Demo


Reset me FOR what? For disagreeing with you?? You gotta be kidding me...wow.

Re: Long bans for speaking in chat

Holy crap. C'mon really? Taz banned for saying end the ban. Ruining chat?

DAED THIS HAS TO STOP! This is crap

You have been banned. You can chat again in 364:59:53.

Re: Long bans for speaking in chat

I know this game was a lot more fun when admins and mods didn't ban people for disagreeing with them. Stable 1 and 2 are no fun anymore when admins attack you on stable1 for trying to kill off 35 horses. He has attacked me before on stable1 with 10 incomings from his clan for me and someone else attacking him on beta and me getting runes before the server was reset. I am done with stable1 & 2 until something is done. Goodbye dead game.

Re: Long bans for speaking in chat

Ok this can fit here as well :

As the longest continuing player (I think) on Dolumar I have to agree to the points. Personally I'd rather see less servers. The base that plays is what keeps the others going as well. I tried to start paying but when I lost what I paid in one hit , I gave up. It wasnt worth it to me to buy runes to lose them all in one hit. Anywho I am aware you have a life and school. Im all for that. If you leave it to 2 servers thats less to track and more time to concentrate on them.
Moderators. I think there should be a few more. A moderator board. I believe that there should be at least 5. That 5 should get together to vote on bans lasting more than a day or if the same person was banned and is going to be banned again by the same mod. No offense to Demo and Peak , I like you guys really, but I believe there is a level of personal stuff being entered into their decisions. Just the tone just doesnt seem right to me in there.
Im thinking there has to be a better way... thats all for now

You have been banned. You can chat again in 364:59:53.

Re: Long bans for speaking in chat

Trust me, it's not personal.

Since this is all out in the public i'm sure the player we're discussing here doesn't mind sharing the details.

First, offensive chat a while ago, he was banned from chat for a few minutes.
After that more accounts we're created to avoid the chat ban.
Those were banned as well.
A couple of days later another account was created, it was banned as well.
When that account came online again a few days later (today) i unbanned it thinking whamra really wanted to play the game.
Obviously he didn't cause the verbal abuse continued, so he got banned again and more multies were created.

What can i say?
Ban his ip is the next step, to me he's more then welcome if he wants to play the game like any other normal player.

Futhermore, we're finally done with most of the cheaters, there are no multi's and the ones hiding behind proxy servers are almost gone, is this the work of a mod? Great, let's forget about the testserver then, we'll ban some idiot who ruins the game some more!

Re: Long bans for speaking in chat

Verbal abuse? Serious??

You have not had ONE QUARTER of the BS you dished out to mods previously!

What did you used to say?? Grow thicker skin?


ETA: shall I post the entire chat in here to see how "offensive" it was?? Esp to justify a ONE MONTH ban?? Someone has a bit of a power trip rush here...

Re: Long bans for speaking in chat

What verbal abuse happened today? It was a joke to me. I thought it was funny. You all know the history and hate and the one fateful day he took out my village. (its a national holiday in the shire) So if anyone should be mad it should be me. I LMFAO. I really did. Then he got banned for it. Then he came in and called ya on it. I think tougher skin should be found.

Re: Long bans for speaking in chat

What Yan did to me was personal. He has done many hatefull thing to players he hates like me.

Re: Long bans for speaking in chat

oh and for the record. Although I though Wham was a crappy mod as well, he never banned me for the banter and accusations I threw at him. He countered with his opinion and how he saw it. Although thought he was wrong the most and i was right  (i always am) ... I think real multies are what need to be banned. Getting rid of joke ones that do not trade should happen as well but to ban for a long time his real account. C'mon

That's why there are 3 mods who check eachother as well, all actions are logged!
If we don't agree we discuss them amonst eachother, the chat channel is not a mod discussion board, it's for chatting about the game.

Please, enjoy the game, don't worry about bans or resets cause you won't get one!
(if you stick to the TOS ofcourse)

Personal vendettas have NO place when modding/admin'ing a game. Ever.

This post is another example of two players, here to spread hatred and a bad atmosphere in the game.  Sorry that things did not work out for you on the other servers, and that this is your only outlet for your frustrations.  If you are not here to play, why don't you just leave dolumar alone?

poor choice of mod/admin - yeah, I guess you suggest that the Whamra/Ishtar team was a great choice.  what a joke.

Demo and myself has been tied up exclusively, with ways to improve the game for those who are here to play.  To minimize the cheaters, and work on bugs.  Do you think the old mod/admin team would have gotten anywhere with balancing the races, keep clans from internal attacks, etc., etc. etc.  - all you have for the game is to spread ill feelings, and it is not appreciated.

Re: Long bans for speaking in chat

Bowser sent his 35 riders to Yan to kill them. Yan flipped out, then attacked him on stable 1. So how, mr moderator, do you assess that? Who mods the mods? Who are you accountable to?

I don't see what this has to do with long term bans for players who create multi's to avoid chat bans.
I'm sure there's some logic to it but i don't see it.
Is this another complaint about a mod?
I'm even failing to see that, i see your argument, someone got attacked... and another argument, that person got attacked on a different server.
So what, it's a wargame, and people are supposed to attack.

Some more explanation: there are 2 very active mods who don't play active, that would be me and peak. for all i know is Invisbleman playing, we're not, since we thing modding and playing active is a bad combination.

Re: Long bans for speaking in chat

← peak
what are you doing - feeling proud now?

00:44

→ peak
just killing old troops

00:45

← peak
and you can't do that within your own clan.

00:46

→ peak
no you can't attack your clan members

00:46

← peak
that is right.

00:50

← peak
so why not your brother?

00:52

→ peak
you can't have any contact with anyone on the same IP that means attacks too

00:53

← peak
I don't think killing off troops would be an issue, but what ever, at least you can get some intel for whamra, Ishtar and Randy this way, who are dying

00:53

← peak
to attack me

00:56

← peak
I know I am a super star on the "hit list" in your forum

01:04

→ peak
idk im trying to kill troops

01:04

← peak
what are you sending?

01:05

→ peak
only 35 horses in two reg.

EDIT part i forgot to add

01:05

peak
that is going to hurt

01:06

← peak
when I send to kill off, I put only 2 troop in each reg. You will be killing off my troop like that

01:08

← peak
I personally think sending to kill off troops without coordinating with the other side, is the same as an attack, and I will look at it as such

01:11

oh well
