Good evening It has been a few months since I've been banned from the W3D Discord server. I believe that my time in the Gulag has reconditioned me. I will be a proper, normal citizen of the W3D Hub Discord server from henceforth should I be unbanned. Respectfully greyson

I never thought I'd have to be the one here to talk about something like this, but here we go. As of late, it seems like Voe has been on an absolute power trip enforcing rules that do not exist to a degree that has lead to the muting and threatened banning of established community members over trivial items. Prior to these events, frequent jokes in the discord (and, by extension, in-game as well) revolved around "Bodily Fluids and Excretion". While jokes are jokes, often times these jokes would extend to the use of gifs that would range from tame as hell to borderline explicit. In response to this, action was taken, and in regards to especially the use of the gifs where it it very closely toed the line of the "Do not post pornography/gore" rule, I can understand why the action was taken and why the moderators stepped up to put a stop to matters. Except, action did not stop there. The enforcement of this "rule" has extended to even the removal of a video from the chat simply because it was titled this: http://puu.sh/J8hfK/a6fb8edfa9.jpg. It has also extended to the 1-week timeout of Sith and Greyson simply because Voe had felt they had overstepped a rule that is not at all stated in the community guidelines and in which nobody else at that moment had any problem with. To make matters worse, Voe essentially admits to the fact that there was no actual rule being broken, and that Sith was muted with threat of ban simply because some people "wanted it" and that there's a witch-hunt involved, as seen in his DM's http://puu.sh/J8hp3/940c9a9314.png Enforcement is also highly inconsistent when you're basically allowed to post the vomit emoji, which is honestly pretty frontal and graphic. But, it's clear the rule was entirely only made to target one member and one member only, rather than actually and responsibly take care of a community. The enforcement of these sudden, vague "rules" that are not at all enlisted in the guidelines over perfectly harmless jokes that would be A-okay to see in a completely normal PG-rated film is unacceptable, furthermore that the mods then go to bend the definitions of existing guidelines in an attempt to justify this behavior. Hell, they're even equating making a poop joke to be on the same level as actual hate speech simply because they don't like it http://puu.sh/J8hqQ/ee0bf2ba1b.png. At this point, the mods are going on a full power-trip and being absolutely over-the-top and nailing down even just plain fine and innocent jokes, but also so far as to threaten with banning long-time established, even donating members as Sith when they haven't even broken a rule. If you can't justify moderator action on something with proper and clear-cut community guidelines such as posting porn/gore, actual hatespeech or flaming, and essentially listen to a couple people who have a vendetta to enforce a witch-hunt because they want to? That's not proper, responsible moderation, that's abuse plain and simple. Moderators need to either enforce clear-cut and rational rules, or if those rules are not adequate in covering behavior that would otherwise warrant a reasonable response, then craft community guidelines that are properly airtight and easily understood by the community, as well as give the community a proper chance to read and understand those changes. Otherwise, the moderators should back off, and if this community wants to be taken seriously as a community, then they need to be held accountable for their actions.

You know, i never thought we'd be back here, at a mod complaint table for one of the same mods for Interim Apex. I want to mention the list of names here but i wont because that would be a bit rude of me, instead i am going to make one simple recommendation and a solution Rec: give all of the mods a mod application prune all of the mods that fail the application and keep the ones who complete it Solution: This would solve the problem because A most of the mods were chosen either by IA's move over to w3dhub or B they were there from the start. Conclusion: So i thought this mod abuse thing was over, and yet here we are again, at the same place we were last time, when someone got banned and kicked for the most ridiculous of reasons, most of which were emotional reasons. emotion is what you should leave out when making a decision when being a mod. I'v had experience being one before and am one of a server rn. Sometimes i did not like the decisions i had to make but it was what I had to do, regardless if the person was saying things about me or judging me for my decisions that were apart of the rules not against them. the whole point of being a moderator is to see to it that the rules are applied to everyone and to enforce it, not to put your emotional beliefs and ideals into something that isnt yours and yet it is something so simple which is to uphold the rules. You aren't an admin you cant change and bend the rules you are a moderator, you keep the rules and enforce them simple as. Don't you use your power as a means to be higher than another, (that used to be a problem in IA thank GOD it isn't now), but this is still mod abuse and I ask you IA staff, to please look into your mod team, because this is a bit unacceptable, it was unacceptable then and it is unacceptable now. as much as there is evidence to support this complaint, Lynx has done nothing wrong so far, and if there still isn't, Please look into your moderation team, I can't help but remember exactly how many times i have been mod abused on IA in t he past because either someone was mad at me, or they were offended at a simple join message I had and they wouldn't let me change it at all even when i was warned in that same exact time frame to change it or be banned, i was still banned even when I changed it in chat, but this is beside the point, just look into the moderation team not for my sake but the player Bases sake. That is all

The user by the name "alexa" sent me a message which contained a link to presumably pornorgraphic material.

So I've been banned on Discord. Kidding me? Unironically go end yourself you loser.

Hi, I have some screenshots about the player WhereIsMyMedal? It looks like he was possibly using some type of hack that bypasses mines. What do you guys think about this, is this legit? On Orca Heights he was able to get inside the PP and destroy it via the MCT, despite the fact that both doors were still mined. I spawned in the base and decided to check the PP after it was destroyed as I'm just generally interested how people get in. However my mines were still there, above both doors. "How is this PP red with mines still at both doors, how did anyone get in here?", I thought. So I asked in public how he even got inside PP. I now thought I could've been going crazy, as I was now not seeing my mines. But when I checked my screenshots I was right, my mines were there just a second ago. Unfortunately I didn't get a good screenshot of the left door showing the mines, but what you can see is the mines dissappearing with that electric animation. You can also see my message showing in public chat. On the right door you see 2 mines on the side, I guess thats where he died. On the left door I didn't get a good shot while the top mines were there but you can still see 3 mines on the side. Was it mine limit and someone overmining? I doubt it, they don't go that fast. Do the server logs show the mine limit at this time? Okay, the mines dissappeared, lets suppose I didn't see this, you still don't get in through the door without setting off those mines on the side. Or is there some trick? (A side note: this was earlier this week, 27-Apr. Sorry I didn't get round to do this till now.)

Hey guys! I need some help. I just got banned by Threve for RGH/ESP when I was playing on the Interim Apex server. I was on the server when the map was 'Scorpion_Hunters'. I'm very confused, as I had played on the server previously after October the 30th. I do not hack or condone hacking.I have never hacked in C&C Renegade and never will. I don't know why I got banned. Please help.

Why player aaaaaaaa was muted? And then swapped to another imbalanced team. 2 times without explaionation before. Still waiting for response

Why aaaaaaaa was muted now without any visavle reason? The same happened in last weekend. I want to know, Is there some automatical bot which mutes players by some algorithm or just someone has some worthy reason? Who and why did that:

this player constantly spammed chat with the sound messages, honestly probably at least 100 messages, forcing pretty much everyone to disable sounds additionally, to a much lesser extent, EricGCK and miblet joined in at the beginning too a vote mute feature would be very awesome, I hope it can some day be implimented

So today on Industrial Warfare I got banned by Gavin Chater because he's a little whining bitch that enjoys to abuse his power. I got a 36 inch from a crate and locked it in the middle of the base with no way for Nod to get to it, he kicks me 'for leaving vehicles empty to be stolen by Nod' even though it's literally IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BASE. Then I join back and called him an autistic fuck, he stole my 36 and then he muted me. I join again with his real name and bans me for 24 hours yeah buddy ok 'using name' I wouldn't mind if anyone joined with mine, I don't care at all, there's nothing they can use it for. Now unban me, this guy does this crap on purpose on me and a couple of other guys just because he doesn't like us, and frankly we don't like him either. There shouldn't be any personal feelings when it comes to moderating, there's people talking racist crap ingame all the time and no one does anything but God forbid someone respond to this guy, he'll mute and ban you. A while ago he was talking trash to me so I literally said 'What did you say Gavin' then he muted me straight off. Seriously guys you should consider a bit more when picking mods and admins. If not then It'll be my pleasure to take this as a more personal matter since a couple of my friends know their way around a PC and I already know everything about this guy.

So I joined the APB server at around 11:25 PM GMT and then got banned like 10 minutes later because Pushwall thought I was mackintoke. As the thread title implies, I'm not mackintoke. I'm not exactly sure why he thought that as there was no reasoning given, but I did respond to a comment directed at mackintoke (who was apparently also there?) with a question because it was near the end of a game in which my team was getting stomped, so maybe that led him to believe I was mackintoke. Could the ban be lifted please?
