This is a complaint thread.
I just posted on Weby's ban appeal. What I posted explains why Weby was rude, why some of us, who work twice as hard as the staff, are frustrated with the staff doing little to make the work easier for us. We're playing on a good server, a server that we like, and we just want it to become a better place, without hackers, and we work hours almost every day to try to stop the ever growing stream of hackers.

When Weby said what he said to Farmer, he was rude, yea, he was disrespectful, but as I explained, you really shouldn't be blaming us for being pissed at the way this server is maintained. It has to change, the server would be swarming with hackers if it wasn't for players in the community who wants to help. That's just not a good way to maintain a server, you can't rely on having other people doing your job all the time.

So I explained perfectly well why we're especially frustrated. And I get banned. Yes, for five hours only, not really a big deal, actually nothing to give a shit about if you consider how much time I've spent on the server. But, like seriously, the reason I was banned! I was defending another player, without being offensive towards anyone, without using any form of profanity, even with apologizing for posting on a ban appeal. And you ban me? Yes, you have your fancy rules and stuff, but use common sense, FFS. I was defending another player with logical arguments, and you go on banning me for doing so. I broke the rules, yes, but who cares? I was showing you our perspective of it, on a post where it very much mattered. If anything, such behaviour should be encouraged, not punished with a ban.

You staff really need to listen to the players on this matter, you need to get down to business and start catching hackers yourselves, you need to maintain the server.

And well, OK, I was banned. But you even fucking removed the post. The post which was worth enough for me to risk a ban for. What I said needed to be said, right where it was.

Titan, you're being nothing than a puppet to the rules at the moment, start using common sense alongside with them, really. Also, you have crap methods for dealing with arguments, and it is REALLY poor of you, and I mean really fucking poor, to so disrespectfully, again, it's damn bullshit of you to do so, ban me without even explaining why, when I am there, ready to listen, ready to explain to you why, ready to accept my punishment in case of it, ready to argue against your acting.
You're being overall bad staff from my perspective. You have this box of rules which no one can take a step out of without getting a ban, and really bad methods for dealing with problems. Constantly locking threads is one of those, it's just a dick move to remove our ability to reason against other staff.

Good staff should follow rules, but still be dynamic when enforcing them, not just see if a player does something and ban him for that, but to actually see if it can be resolved in another way.

There has to be an important discussion on matters concerning hackers, staff and players, and what I said was a small but important part of it.

I happened to still have this on my clipboard.
Farmer has been inactive for like 1 month because of school and holidays and has been very active before that.
Sorry for posting here, but it's just to correct the facts. Farmer's been gone for way more than a month.
And, though I see why Farmer took this as an insult, it's kinda annoying when the server is swarming with hackers and the majority of the staff doesn't do anything about it. I get that people have other stuff to do than play MC 24/7, and I appreciate the work some of the staff does to moderate the server, Titan for keeping an eye on the chat mainly, though, I don't think more can be asked of him with his bad connection, and Lju actually flying around looking for hackers, and taking tips from players.
I also get that the inactive staff either lacks time or interest in doing it, and I very much respect that, there are more important things to do in life than moderating MC servers.
But we have hackers, and some of us spend hours of our time every day trying to spot, record and report them.
And you've used "We have enough staff, though not everyone are active now" as an argument to not add more staff.
So from a certain perspective, they're sitting AFK on a limited amount of chairs that would very much help us improving the server by ridding it from hackers.
Note that I don't blame you, inactive staff.
Again, sorry for posting on someone else's ban appeal, but I felt like this needed to be said.
Take what I said above into consideration when we rage or say rude things, because the hackers are more frustrating to us active players than it is to any of the staff.
 
Well good luck arguing with the staff. I am sorry to say that this is not a fight you can realy win. In the rules it is written: The staff members have ultimate authority. This can override any of the other rules. If we believe a punishment is in order it will be done. We reserve the right to act without warning and do what we believe must be done. We do not need to justify our actions.
 
I would first direct you to this link, please read this. This is very important to follow when your on the Empirewar Forums.

Now, I did what I did because it was the RIGHT THING TO DO. Certain guidelines have to be followed, and then players who break the rules HAVE TO BE punished to help make sure it doesn't continue. You call me a "puppet to the rules at the moment", why yes, I have gotten more strict in the forum. Because it was getting CRAZY, players posted where they were NOT suppose to post. You know the rules Anrza, they have been around, and if you don't remember them. I would suggest you use this short ban time to look at those rules again.

And really, you can call me whatever you want, it really doesn't bother. But when you as much as say ONE, you heard me ONE ill word against a fellow staff member. You have crossed the bridge that has gone too far. I also gave you a short ban because this was a first offense in the Ban Appeal Forum.

Again, you have always seem to "pride" yourself on knowing the rules, so you should know that saying, "Please don't ban me for posting on another person's ban appeal/report" will not fly with me. Rule breaking, is rule breaking and a apology to not get banned will not work. When you post in the forums, you are AGREEING that you are SUBJECT to the rules. You've been around enough to know what you can do and not do.

And you call me not "fair", I give space where I think needs to given space, and I don't give space when I believe there shouldn't be.

If you have such a major beef against me, you can always message me and we can chat. I am always ready to listen and talk.

I agree, the server maintainment is very bad at the moment, and don't think we're not doing anything about it.
We've been looking into it the past 3 days A LOT because you guys mentioned it here.
If you have complaints about that, you are free to create a thread for that, and we'll gladly reply and help you with the situation by explaining what we're doing about it, but that doesn't mean you should reply it on someone's report.

You're not allowed to post on a report unless you add proof, which is clearly said on the forum rule section.
I agree, this could be an exception for it, but that's a matter of opinion and it should not be blamed on Titan for enforcing the rules, as strictly this wasn't allowed.
You have all seen we've been adding a lot of features the past days, so you should be trusting on us working on the case. You'll just need to be patient, as picking wrong mods can cause A LOT of trouble.


I've unbanned you and readded your post, but please, ask before trying to find an exception on a rule next time.
I've talked to Titan about it too, and I really don't blame him or you for this, but be careful in the future.
