Re: A quick word.
Moderation!
Firstly, this is about games so doesn't necessarily belong in the offtopic room.
Secondly, Tyler aka Techmaster20 aka sniper was banned from the forum for two months on the 3rd of April, thus the ban will actually expire anyway on the 2nd of June. I have therefore rebanned the Sniper account until that time, (really I think Tyler could've been able to wait less than one week rather than engaging in Ip hacking to get a different account).
As to the comments generally, a question related to bans from online games has been added to the site Faq, it's question 13 and can be Read here To summarize, the forum takes no responsability for what happens on other games, but it does with what happens on the forum, and if someone is constantly pestering a moderator of another game about a ban or about feature additions that counts as insulting and harassing behaviour, so don't d o it.
Okay, Moderation hat is coming off, but warning that the ranting trousers are going on!
More Broadly, I'm actually appauled this has come up at all or as often as it has. Really, it's not so hard to play an online game and not cause trouble! Indeed, I've not myself recieved one single ban or diciplin action in nearly 12 years of playing browser games and muds, including some very huge ones. I've twice recieved notifications of name errors (as I did in Clok), but that's a different matter and fare enough.
The number of times this comes up makes me quite appauled at the audiogames community, sinse yes, every bunch has some bad apples, but it seems this community has bad apples who also winj very loudly!
If you play a game with other people, is treating other people and the game with respect so dam hard? Is simply behaving in a game as you would behave in a polite social setting such as a school class, a cafe, or a cl ub so very! difficult?
And then after someone has been! banned we have the "oh I am so sorry pleeeeease! unban me, it's not my fault" which goes on and on and on! For goodness sake there are worse things in the world than being banned from a bloody game!
If you think a ban was! in error, well what ever happened to reasonable discourse?
If you can't play decently, don't play, and if you can't write one single reasonably argued complaint and then leave the matter, don't complain!
Really, it seems sometimes that the sterriotype of blind people as constantly winjing, complaining entitled morons with no social graces has more than a grane of truth.
Okay, rant over, ranting trousers are going back in the cupboard of metaphorical cloathing until I need them again, next to my reasonableness jacket and my cyber elve smacking stick.
