Popular Post Bezzers Posted June 10, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2019 It was my impression that this is a repeat offender, in regards to both attitude and targeted player. Surely a higher punishment than a nation strike is warranted when we can conclude from the history of these two players that this wasn't a random that went too far, but a declaration but an act of malicious intent? 1 15 Roll Squeegee pact with Redarmy and Ameyuri Blues Brothers pact with Redarmy Leader of the Elyion Resistance.

Popular Post Spaceman Thrax Posted June 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Yeah. I'm not sure where to log this complaint with the moderation staff, precisely, but for the record I don't think this is a particularly sufficient punishment. I think we need to be thinking a little bit more about the kind of community we want to have. And it would probably be wise to change the in game text of the declaration, as well.

kosmokenny Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Youre barking up the wrong tree, Spaceman. Alex has made it very clear to me over the past couple years that this is the exact type of community he wishes to foster. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aksel Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I'm going to agree with this. There is a need to increase the warn - without actually having a stance, Alex, it basically just allows (and fosters) other people who take this course. There is plenty of satire, jokes, and lightweight banter within this same field that these types can hide behind. Unfortunately, they remain here and the real threat that we have seen multiple times by this guy - and others - remains a part of this community. The in-game war dec still says what you striked him for, which doesn't make much sense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmokenny Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I absolutely am. With how many times this has happened, over and over and over again from KKKT, there is absolutely no reason anyone in that alliance should get a free pass for pulling this shit again.

Lu Xun Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Contextual. Is the recipient of the problematic war declaration of African-American descent? If not, are death threats banned? Am I allowed to declare war with a reason of "I'm going to rip your liver out, eat it, and leave you to bleed to death?" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're flatly wrong. It's not using moderation as a weapon to protect members of the community from racial death threats, dude. This is not the first offense from this player; I reported him earlier for having the name WHITE POWER ranger on the forums. Do you not keep logs of that kind of thing? Does that not inform the decision on what the reasoning behind that "joke" might have been, and demonstrate that this is part of a pattern of behavior? @Alex I'm sorry to ping you again, but a lot of people are upset about this, and most of them have just given up on trying. I'll give it one less crack. That apology wasn't even to the person who was wronged. It's incredibly difficult to take you seriously as someone who wants this community better when you act as if a nation strike is appropriate. As Kosmo is alluding, other members of that same community have attacked this same player (it was a whole thing, as you may recall). Should they all do so once, get a nation strike, apologize to you, and walk? Is that the community you want for your game? It's beyond ridiculous. It's your game. You're the mod. People are going to take their cues from you. When you let crap like this slide, you come back in a month to a bunch more toxic nonsense, and you give a blanket statement on how we should all be excellent to each other... these things aren't actually totally contained from each other. It's not just on us: you are the one who can actually enforce the vision you want. Lead from the front. Edited June 26, 2019 by Spaceman Thrax Slaughter the shits of the world.

True King Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Don’t want to defend the idiot warned, but can see why Alex doesn’t want to suddenly suspend or ban someone after already making a decision to give a warn in this case. Changing his decisions based on forum complaints of not being harsh enough can make decisions seem whimsical, so think it’s expecting a bit much for him to change decisions made without additional rule violations or new evidence. I think how he deals with it next time will give a better vision on how he wants to deals with this if it’s a problem which continues. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bezzers Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Having spoken to an ex KT member who is familiar with this type of action, apparently this isn't that nations first offense, nor is it uncommon for him to make such remarks. Said friend stated his surprise that the player hadn't been banned before too. Also @Inst this situation is different to that. We had the player come into the valinor discord server at the time under the name 'White Power Ranger' (how subtle) looking to bait queen M. This was a recognised racial attack on a figure for whom we have documented history of bad blood with KT and racial aggression/discrimination lay at the core of those cases too. Telling someone you're going to eat their liver in a maniacle way is a completely different case to purposeful baiting of an ethnic minority player, don't bring your smarts in here and defend it.

I think he risks overreacts if he lets the mob dictate he increase punishment. Few will bother saying they think the warn was good enough in cases they are, even if most do. Since it’s assumed he’s made up his mind and it’s not worth talking about more if fine with his decision. Also I don’t even know him, but still.. Banning that player won’t fix the overall problem, also he already has an agreement with that player on how to handle it this time. Although making your views known so he deals with better next time isn’t a bad idea. I do think the apology should have probably went to the player effected.

Bezzers Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 If that isn't enough for you Alex, his war declaration against myself was 'Zimmerman sends his regards', and considering the comment about the lynching of African-American people was hardly veiled, is it not safe to assume that the only reference this could refer to was George Zimmerman, the shooter in the highly documented case of the murder of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012? Given the proximity of the two declarations and the disparity of this players custom war declarations in comparison to these personal ones, am I to not assume that, despite the fact that I am not of an ethnic minority, this is still a case of racially inclined humor, or fueling the provocation towards Queen M? 1 1 Roll Squeegee pact with Redarmy and Ameyuri Blues Brothers pact with Redarmy Leader of the Elyion Resistance.
