    Inconsistent, Incromprehensible, and Overzealous Moderation

    in Bans & Complaints

    Posted

    Hello DVD.

    I know you've not come here to talk to me, but i feel entitled to make my points, before leaving the subject to others.

    First of all, you should be aware of the main purpose of our moderation team. It is not to enforce a strict set of rules. Our primary agenda is to maintain peace within the community, as well as to keep our forums, discord and game servers inclusive for as wide an audience as possible. With this in mind, we pay closest attention to those, who threaten this peace and inclusivity - trolls, shitposters, racists, radicals, and so on. While occasional out-of-the-line humour often ends with a slap on a wrist, it becomes a completely different matter if such behaviour becomes prolonged, repetetive or intrusive. As such, the criteria for unacceptable behaviour are, indeed, somewhat flexible.

    The current state of the IA channel is, at best, unsavourable. We've received numerous complaints from both community members and staff about the quality of conversation within. I should point out at this point, that the reason why IA channel has been, thus far, treated differently to other W3D channels in terms of moderation standards, is that IA as a project enjoys relative autonomy within W3D. The moderative discrepency has been intentional, until now. About two months ago I've been asked to rein the channel in, so that it is compliant with the rest of the server. And this is where we are now.

    Onto sith_wampa. First, I'm disappointed he isn't posting this thread himself. I don't quite understand what is your stake in this matter, as you've never been a target of moderation yourself. Second of all, both sith timeouts have been issued on the exact same basis - discussing ejaculates in the channel. It is disingenious to call out the first timeout as fair, while ignoring the fact that he's done the exact same thing again, once the first timeout expired. It is only fair to moderate the same thing the same way. Third, let us not pretend as if sith is an innocent, well meaning community member, who's a target of some personal vendetta. He's had a long history of in-game offenses and arguments, which, while irrelevant in the topic of discord punishment, nonetheless shine a light at the type of personality we're dealing with. Here's an example from a few weeks back:

      [07:54:31] sith_wampa: take another gas station dick pill you'll feel better in 2 hours

    How does this comply with our rules of "Be polite and contribute constructively!", or "Be respectful of other users!"? Because I can tell you that it doesn't. For why that matters, I refer you to the first paragraph of this post.

    That's it from me. Let the others do the talking.

    PS: Havoc's post was deleted for being unsavoury. He hasn't been punished in any additional way.

    I wonderful if this is because Soviet units are easier to use in direct attacks and require less coordination/teamwork, and in larger games, it's harder for Allies to pull off shenanigans like infiltration and ambush with more Soviets on the map. 

    Pretty much. Allies are built in no small part around blowing up Soviets with Tanyas. That's hard when there are 20+ infantrymen guarding the soviet base.

  9. Mammoth Tank self-repair

    I have a small gripe about the Mammoth Tank's self-repair ability. Because the game makes vehicle armor more superior than health (a great mechanic in-of-itself), the tank "repairing to 50%" isn't really at 50%. Another to say it, in Red Alert, a Mammoth Tank self-repaired to 50% health would be as strong as a light tank. However in APB, it's repaired 600 health would be inferior to a 300/300 light tank. 

    I really appreciate this unit's design and the beautiful balance this game currently has. You can tell a lot of hard work has been put into testing and balancing. So i just want to make it clear i say the above out of thankfulness and as a "for your consideration".

    Slow vehicles are usually at a disadvantage on large maps, since the enemy has plenty of time to respawn and attack you over and over to whittle you down. Can we consider some sort of full-heal upgrade for the mammoth tank? But armor self-repair only starts if the tanks has been out of battle for a while?

     

    I completely agree with what you say - units (especially the mammoth) take additional health damage once their armor goes down, meaning a 50% mammy is a lot more vulnerable than it appears.

    However, the soviets are currently very strong. While the winrates for the past year and a half osscilate around 50:50, the higher the player count, the more they're skewed in soviet favour. Buffing a key unit in large game soviet pushes (which often also their win condition) could make 15v15 and higher matches (ie, all of the game nights) unplayable for the allies.

  11. Abuse Much?

    This is your last warning.

    Frankly, we're really tired of having to read and moderate every single post you made over the last 2 or so years. Any following offences will result on IP bans on both forums and in-game. Have a good day.

    I don’t even know, except that I think shooting the rear does more damage. Are there other points? I’m in favour of just removing it, and I say remove the headshot multiplier too. If I get OHK’d when I’m a Shocky or Volkov one more time due to a lucky shot I’m going to lose it. 

    I agree. I liked it better when the V2 could defeat rifle guys with one splash-damage shot. 

    Removing headshots, because you get one shotted, and then reintroducing one shotting V2s at the same time?
