Is that because you, the unrelated party is interested in the ban length? Both admin and the player knows the length and if it's a issue in the appeal itself the player will no doubt mention it. Usually they are appealing the ban itself but if the player is instead asking for leniency they'll often ...

what if we increased the wizard chance by 5% so they could learn?

Maybe if LoveMirror understood what I said I wouldn't have called him illiterate. In a game where players constantly insult admins and other players for very little reason I don't feel especially bad about insulting a player who is antagonizing me.

literally just remind them that back to back music can be obnoxious and they should show a little restraint, otherwise it doesn't matter because you can press a button to mute it. We have game admins who'll put up hour long episodes at times.

Cynic has the soul of a post-modern artist; youtube_dl his paintbrush, /tg/station his canvas. He expresses his influence through broad midi strokes from the classics such as slam city remixes to a captive audience of players who may or may not know hide/hear admin midis is a thing.

If I'm not mistaken, escalation is extremely relaxed with free golems; they are almost entirely free to act as per team antagonists. Such as roles spawned from ruins, including ash walkers, free golems, ancient station crew, etc. Escalation is massively relaxed with them. They must follow their rol...

It's well known the Head of Personnel will give themselves all access, if the Captain wants to be anal about access he's not completely wrong to get on your case about it. This goes double if you enter some other departments area and you're not the acting Captain. Just because you have all access do...

THIS BOARD IS FOR SPECIFIC INSTANCES OF MODERATION OR ADMINISTRATIVE POWER ABUSE. 4. This board is not for ban appeals. You may appeal a ban you do not agree with in the appropriate board. Ban appeals posted here will be moved or deleted. Only a fraction of your post addresses what you felt the adm...

I've seen people getting warned about this in the past, naturally if there is no admin online then not a whole lot can be done about it. If you see it and think there is no reason for a early launch you could always try ahelping it. That said, if there's a credible threat then you're just shit out o...

who knows, you don't see the real numbers until later. At the very least people might like the option of lower population servers for a while even if it doesn't work out as intended.

This is the strangest take. 'We don't need to baby antags, except in this case where we do.'

the loot game was insane and is probably why we'd never see away missions come back to their former glory.

I'm sure the kill streak code still exists somewhere...

Though it would defeat the point of a self policing server if everyone is encouraged to kill each other for admin powers. It would just be the battle royale server.

Gigapuddi420

the idea is attractive, sure, but you'll still want the threat of admins checking in now and again for bigger problems like someone intentionally crashing the place or a huge bitchfit in OOC. Some things can't be solved by mob justice.

Gigapuddi420

I like the idea of a simple verb/button players could use to remind themselves of specific policy for roles. The main benefit I see is to aid people using ghost roles as they tend to have their own policies based on the premise of the role. Admittedly those roles also have flavor-text on using them,...

I think notes and bans should suffice, to be honest. Note them the first time they netspeak. That way, the next admin will see that they know better and feel less guilty about applying a short ban. That's typically how it goes. Note then a 15 minute ban with increasing lengths each time. That said ...

He's the man /tg/ needs, but not the one it deserves right now, so they'll hate him. Because he can take it, because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Dark Knight.

I have to agree with wesoda. I mean it would be interesting to see people get lynched for smiley faces in chat but most of these people just need to have it explained to them that it isn't appropriate.

all of which seemed highly suspect especially with other admins scrutinizing the findings and sharing concerns. Figured I would chime in to confirm this, as NecromancerAnne brought up the incident in our channel to get some second and third opinions. Information we had on the database gave us the i...

In my experience shad0k is a pretty cool guy to admin along side and has a pretty calm head on his shoulders. I think he'd make a good addition to the team.

Gigapuddi420

nice, though it probably should be mentioned that we're not in the hut yet so don't be too uncivil. Honestly most of the bagil issue is more down to admins who would cover it during those later American hours retiring for various very legitimate reasons. There is some truth about other admins avoidi...

Usually getting a bunch of appeals in a short period is more down to activity, especially if they are covering peak times with a lot of tickets. That isn't to say there is nothing to learn but I couldn't really comment on how the tickets were handed. The bans look normal from this end and if the iss...

In the same section you quoted we also have: Security Policy & Precedents 3. The 'act like an antag, get treated like one' part of Rule 4 of the main rules also apply to security.

technical difficulties. It has been like that since the DDOS. I couldn't tell you what the issue is, just that we haven't had public parsed logs for a while and admins have to download previous round logs from the servers directly while connected.

I went for two days because of the severity of your actions; you've been playing long enough you should know random murder isn't allowed, especially on our newbie server. That said this is the first time you've been banned specifically for random murder, everything else is accidental. It would be mo...

Seems pretty down to earth and puts in time like the rest. Would be nice to see him promoted but I can't pretend to share a lot of admin experiences with him, consider this a light recommendation based on what I have seen.

Gigapuddi420

The few times I've been around him he's a imaginative and fun admin who I hope can keep his innocence and purity going into game admin.

Gigapuddi420

I've not been around for a bit so I couldn't comment on the last two weeks but everything else I've seen about him has been good stuff. Ask questions when he's not sure and is a nice wingman on the whole. Don't deny him his tenure.

Gigapuddi420

You're splitting hairs over something that usually just ends in a note and if they continue to make the same mistake over and over results in a short 15 minute kick. The only people who get to serious time over OOC in IC are the ones who seriously breach the rule constantly and our players would rea...

You can use the word valid without triggering admins so long as the context for it is appropriate. No admin will bwoink you for something like playing Head of Personnel and requesting 'valid paperwork' or complaining that you won't allow someone into your department because they don't have 'valid id...

I messaged you in game several times looking for your side of the situation both during the round which I ended up having to delay and in the next round. The round was delayed for at least 10 minutes and I decided to carry out the sentencing next round which again, you were online for but never repl...

it's pretty funny though. I mean if you're going to make a mistake on a tc trade making a big mistake is the way to go. Seems more like PK is laughing at it and there is nothing in Jimmius's post suggesting he's defending the trade; it could be entirely disconnected. Shad0k has been helpful around d...

Often seen on different servers covering where other admins are short or absent, Jimmius has been a great help to the team. Well humored and eager to help, I'm confident that you'll make game admin providing you don't burn out on the occasional frustrations there are to be had. Don't worry about app...

Alright, looks like you share a CID with a banned player. Seeing as Beesting has noted that your account isn't linked to any other others on the CID I'm just going to modify the ban so it doesn't check the CID, it should bypass you now. Sorry about the inconvenience. I'll add a note onto the player ...

Sure, don't worry about it too much. So long as you don't do this exact thing again you should be fine. People are allowed to screw up and the notes associated with a ban are mostly to help us form patterns of behavior. People only make this kind of mistake once; you understand what you did wrong an...

I do appreciate that you came onto the forums to explain your side of things as this ban was applied hours after the fact when you were offline. Several players got hold of me later in the day to explain that some people had detonated bag of holdings and I ended up going through the logs to find the...

I'm dealing with your appeal here, not some other fight that wasn't brought up within the round. Intent and circumstances matter, it's why you get those messages like 'IC Reason' as there is a whole awkward system in place for escalation. I asked you clearly why you killed these people and you expla...

You crit/effectively killed two people, why would you get a day ban vs 2 days? Because as already mentioned the sentence for this situation is one day but since I wasn't willing to listen (which is false) it's now two days? So what, are you going to make it a week long because I posted an appeal an...

Gigapuddi420

You don't understand the appeal process. When players appeal their bans, they are appealing to the banning admin. If the banning admin denies the appeal (either because you couldn't convince them or because you feel they didn't handle your ban properly and are sticking by it) the headmins can overru...

Gigapuddi420

Alright, sure, you knocked people into critical with the clear intent of killing as many people as possible, at first I wondered if you had some conflict with these people so I asked you what you were doing. You explained you were stranded and were acting like it's the end of the round. I made a poi...

Gigapuddi420

This isn't exactly a complicated appeal process: It looked like you did something which is against the rules, but you weren't online to defend yourself. The note acknowledges you logged out and could come to the forums to explain what happened for a reduction or removal assuming the reason was good....

Speaking of logs, is there a separate repository you guys are able to pull those from? The usual place is empty. We have to grab them from the servers themselves right now, which means it's all raw logs. Typically there is a database page with all the logs on that players and admins can use outside...

Shad0k has been a real help on Terry lately despite how annoying it can be to admin during ddos or when the database is down.
