Moderators not moderating

Post by BadgerMyBadger »

I have asked mods to clear my ban because I'll be moving soon anyway (New IP) & I don't want to unbalance games being a smurf.

I haven't played spring for about a month now so I think that is a long enough period to learn from?!

Even though I have been polite in my request mods have ignored me here and considering the idiots they let play I really don't think I have been treated fairly... yet 99% of the time I played fairly!

It's true, none of the moderators in spring do anything, most of the time they aren't even there and most of them never actually play. Whoever chooses the moderators either doesn't give a shit or is a bit dim. You most likely won't get unbanned, in fact this thread is probably going to be deleted. I recently lost my rank 5 account because I forgot what I renamed too, it wouldn't be hard for them to recover for me but I got no reply from any moderators and when I called Det useless, I actually got my first ever reply from him in all the years I've played which was "Fuck off"

No I was very specific: Moderators ignoring all reasonable requests for another chance so that i don't have to smurf.

I find it particularly amusing that the loudest complainers are those who invariably cause trouble

I guess you also find (/found) it particularly amusing to ignore polite emails from people when you have been given responsibility of moderator.

What makes you think even a polite message warrants an immediate unconditional unban?

Also maybe you should post more threads!

This isn't your first ban. I replied to you explaining why you were re-banned. Threatening to evade your ban on a new IP and suggesting it would be easier for everyone to just unban you was your response. Well, that and spamming forum threads. It isn't easy to get banned in spring and sending a politely worded message to the moderators isn't a get out of jail free card.

[06:08] <[Fx]Drone> tell me my smurfs pls
[06:12] <[Fx]Drone> you know you and quantum are the only moderators online
[06:12] <[Fx]Drone> and you are also the worst, most useless moderators
[06:12] <[Fx]Drone> so I guess my problem will never get resolved
Check the timestamps, you went from "please help me" to "you suck and are useless" in 4 minutes without a reply. Apparently you ranted to quantum with only a 1 minute delay. I should feel lucky.

that's because I knew I was stupid in even expecting a reply

but I actually did get 'fuck off' 4 hours after I said that which was suprising

Ultimately you will not be able to stop me playing with a new account as a smurf, so that is what I'll have to do. Which means:

a: Game imbalance
b: You will give a new account more lenience than I deserve should I piss about.
c: This community where nobody owns the right to TA has a stupidly flawed mod system because they turned down the offer to link the new IP to a player/account already flagged as volatile (please do not pretend that 99% of the community here don't snap on occasion).

Finally. The moderators will only hear negative slander & none of them / very few of them will have ever played alongside me to see I actually play fairer than the majority. I feel sorry for the people who spend so much of their life here that they try to prevent other people from playing in a naive and egostical power trip. Ultimately the ban stopped me from turning in to a really pathetic slob and now I spend more time with my gf, so I just want a bit of fun on the side.

I have a better solution.

don't be a douchebag in that last 1% of games (dubious made-up statistic by you, probably much higher than one percent), and we'll never ban you for it.

I combombed ZellSF 3 times because he was mouthing off like a douchebag.

branding somebody a douchebag required a judgement call. In a community what has made you more capable of making that decision? The mods/admins get assigned on their technical ability or friendbase not their ability to judge situations.

bannable offense. also a waste of my time, since I'll definitely need to deal with it.

ingame? not really bannable, doesn't affect the game directly, something you can *just ignore*.

Look, every time you play Badger, you ruin a game, troll or use some other kind of annoying abuse. You get banned, they use a variety of techniques to try and get unbanned.

So far, this has worked multiple times and you've been unbanned a fair bit I believe. This is simply another stage in the period where you baw/troll/whine a bit more to get unbanned again.

You'll use various techniques such as:
  • Crying, saying sorry and stating you won't do it again
  • Pretending you ban was a mistake
  • Slagging off other players or pinning the blame on somebody else
  • Blackmail - saying you'll unban yourself anyway and will continue playing more grievously if you're not unbanned
Seriously, just go away.
