Settle the Guards rules

Hello there! I've been discussing the subject with my friends lately and we just had a frustrating situation with a Global Moderator.

We first joined the server as the clantag FOUW. There was a passageway out of the base at the upper side and the front doors were blocked by bricks (So the blue team wouldn't come in). Nachthemel destroyed those blocks to replace the door and got suddently kicked out (Ban for 15 mins). Problem is he didn't ask Nachthemel plan before kicking. He tought automatically "Griefing". I've seen some other moderators who asked reasons of actions before even thinking of kicking someone.

Then we discussed on Skype (The kicked one, Drenko and I) about the rules when you are a Global moderator. The image link sure showed us that some of them verbal abuse (Altough I don't remember who was the "mofo").

Those two arguments led us to the following point :

Is there rules amongt the Guards? The point of this guard system is to improve community, yet we felt really mad/bad right there. If something like this happen again, which total screwed our fun, I'll make sure to post it and I won't go easy.

Sincerely,

Misk

"mofo" wasn't the problem here. Point is, in my point of view, the language and behavior of Guards should be impeccable. I just want to make sure that Terry don't have any problems there. I still wonder if the "asking" part could appear in rules, at least for 30-45 seconds (if the person keep griefing after the question, just kick him). There's many perceptions possible in every moves, that's why Guards should ask questions.

 

No, a guards only job is to remove people who are griefing and speed hacking, they are not drones and they are not paid so they have no reason to watch their language and should fit in to the community the same as everyone else does.

And why should anyone who plays this watch their language anyway? because someone may get "offended" only pathetic people get offended by bad language alone, or perhaps to make it more child friendly? oh god please keep the fucking children away from this game.

 

I agree that children, probably shouldn't play a game where limbs and gore splatter castles every 13 seconds, that said my clan has members who are "children" they also happen to be very mature, Mofo which is abbreviated for mother fu****, is generally less offensive than the actual words it is made from, that said, I thoroughly dislike being sworn at. someone might "SHHHHIIITTT" when they get gibbed, thats not a big problem, however, "You Fucking n00b get the fuck..." etc makes me very annoyed, I beleive that if possible directed swearing intended to insult someone should be cut down upon.

crap just realized that that was off topic... sorry :)

 

We're not getting paid to do this, so we want to play the game like a human being would. That means sometimes getting angry and making mistakes in our behaviour (there's no way out of making a mistake, everyone makes them). You can certainly complain about a guard's offensiveness or swear words or behaviour, but I would sooner leave the guards than put up with a rule stating that our behaviour should specifically be impeccable. That's just not on.

Additionally, just to give you the heads up, not all green names are guards so always check in the topic with a list of all the guards before you call out any "global moderators" If you did do that then ignore this message, but guards have become fed up of being blamed for stupid behaviours of server admins.

 

I was there....Earlier in the round we had 1 or 2 other griefers who attempted/ did destroy parts of our base and us with debris. We were tired of it. There was a way out above which three people were in the process of fixing. He was kicked for 15 minutes (at most) out of whim because he let 4 enemies in. We won that small battle but soon lost after that.

We attempted to explain this multiple times but eventually just dismissed the subject.


Edit: Terry did apologize: There were a few others there. BC and a few Moles i believe

 

Locking this thread to avoid community pileup and the backlash contained therein. I believe this matter settled, but if you'd like to continue the discussion, DaMisk, please use the private conversation I've provided.
