View Full Version : TrenchWars NEEDS more moderators in the game.

Yesterday I was playing in Pub, and there was about 5-6 javelins in the flag room. Someone accidently tked another, which set off a fucking chain reaction. The guy who got tked went nuts, and started to tk everyone in the base because he was mad. This set everyone else going nuts trying to tk him, and of course they kept missing and killing other people. I swear, there was about 5 javelins just going totally apeshit and killing everyone on their own team.
I did a cheater command 2 times, and not a single fucking moderator showed up. Someone else on the team said they reported it too, and still no one came.
Out of the 15 or so times I've reported tkers, about 3 of the times someone actually came in/messaged me.
This is fucking bullshit.
I know someone is going to go "Well the moderators have a life too you know!" Well, of course they do. But that doesn't mean that you can't hire more moderators from different time zones so that you can have at least 1 person on at all times...

How about... you grow some balls, stop crying and just remember its a game and if somebody tks you its no big deal. Just either get even or stop whining. Excellent.

that was a radical situation that could of needed it though. That like, ruins your time.
idea: Switch pub, get on the team that has base (it isnt cheap if you're getting away from TKing pyschothings) and resume like nothing happened.

Yes, let's let the game rot and not care a twit about making it better, because caring would mean admiting that things matter.
Just because this is a game doesn't mean that things can't (or shouldn't) be improved.

Before we need more Mods we need more ER's, and before we promote ER's we needs ZH's. Let the 'I'm a suitable candidate for ZH' commence:

look, idjits
staff is a burden and a waste of time (unless you're a 14 year old who hasn't seen the sun since 1968). I pity anyone who actually *wants* to be on staff. it's work. and we all know work blows...
Unless you derive amusement from abusing your position of power constantly (erathia)
Or bickering incessantly (various females)
Or blundering about randomly, ignoring frequent requests for you to stfu and go home (crome)
Or pretending to care, but in reality getting laid (priitk and dock>)
Or playing with bot/game development (twdev)
Or being that happy-go-lucky guy who secretly wishes he could get to 2nd base with a raggedy-ann doll (<ZH>)
Or working as a mindless slave in the Trench Warsian salt mines, whipped eternally by the evil Smods of Doom (<ER>)
Or putting down rebellions in the name of the Emperor with nothing but a big wooden club with which you repeatedly bludgeon dissident civilians (mod).

It's an extreme rarity to see a single ?cheater call go unanswered.. Normally even the ZHs want a piece of those.. It's sort of a quick duel of "on it"s where the winner gets to do work and the loser gets to sit in spec making fun of the ZH that said "on it" earlier to something he can't do anything about.. Yet we all want to win that duel.. for the slight chance that maybe there's astronomical possibility that it's Louis incognito and we could ban his arse some more.. My 2 cents. Maybe 3, I went overboard there.

as nappy said, if somebody is on the call will be taken. maybe a mod was in the arena and watching, it's not like we are obligated to say "hey, i am here to answer your ?cheater, and by the way, nice sentence structure on that report."
i haven't seen a time when nobody has been online to answer (maybe cuz anytime i am online at the very least i can answer em). anyways, u can't guarantee that there will always be a staff member on. we don't get paid and we don't have scheduals set for an 8 hour working day.we play the game when there is time and we feel like it, so there are going to be freak times when nobody is on, it's just a thing of random chance.
your "3 ppl answered in 15 calls" remark is bullshit. i doubt if somebody were to go make 15 calls over the course of the day that any of them would go unanswered.
and boo hoo, u got tk'd. nobody is on to deal with it. well what do you expect us to do. we are there to enforce the rules, and if we are on we will. i personally don't go to sleep at night thinking "oh, maybe i should logon to see if anybody is getting teamkilled". and no i'm not sittin watchin hockey thinking "hm, i wonder if somebody in elim is being racist, maybe i should find out".
only a person who has no clue how staff works would complain about something like this, therefor u don't know how staff works, therefor you are clueless on the topic, therefor i associate no actual value to your remarks.
ps. i never got a big wooden club. . .

Well for some reason I have the feeling that the staff is just ignoring me. There has 2-3 times in the past month were someone would follow me from arena to arena trying to tk me, and no one would do a fucking thing when I reported it.
i haven't seen a time when nobody has been online to answer (maybe cuz anytime i am online at the very least i can answer em). anyways, u can't guarantee that there will always be a staff member on. we don't get paid and we don't have scheduals set for an 8 hour working day.we play the game when there is time and we feel like it, so there are going to be freak times when nobody is on, it's just a thing of random chance.
I understand that there is a chance that a mod might not be on, but seriously I've never seen anything happen when I reported someone.
your "3 ppl answered in 15 calls" remark is bullshit. i doubt if somebody were to go make 15 calls over the course of the day that any of them would go unanswered.
Well you lose because nowhere in my post did I say it was all in one day. The 15 reports have been in the past 3 months or so.
and boo hoo, u got tk'd. nobody is on to deal with it. well what do you expect us to do. we are there to enforce the rules, and if we are on we will. i personally don't go to sleep at night thinking "oh, maybe i should logon to see if anybody is getting teamkilled". and no i'm not sittin watchin hockey thinking "hm, i wonder if somebody in elim is being racist, maybe i should find out".
Yeah, I got tk'd. But as you obviously ignored, I said that there was 3-4 people just going fucking nuts and tking everyone in the flag room! This went on for a good 20 minutes or so, and no one would come in to stop it!
And you admit that sometimes there may not be anyone to deal with cheaters. Well, if that's so, the obvious remendy would be to HIRE MORE STAFF! For a game with an average of 300 people on, you have to have at least 1 or 2 people that are willing to help if someone is trying to be a flaming homosexual and ruin everyones fun.
only a person who has no clue how staff works would complain about something like this, therefor u don't know how staff works, therefor you are clueless on the topic, therefor i associate no actual value to your remarks.
I find your remaks to be absolutely bullshit, too. It's just the same old shit that I KNEW someone was going to post. "boo hoo, you got tk'd!" "Oh, we moderators can't be on all the time, we have to make at least a FEW minutes to beat off to some internet porn!"
So, you say that because I "have no clue how staff works" I have no right to complain about something that is absolute bullshit? I may not know how many cocks you have to suck to get on staff, but I do know that it's bullshit when several people report a 4 man teamkill clusterfuck in the pub, and no one comes in to look. This was around 8-9PM EST, so don't give me any shit about there being no staff online.
Oh yeah, it's also fucking hilarious that a few days ago I was playing in pub, and quit the pub I was in and went to another. I attached to the terrier, and was in the Flagroom. An enemy came in, and I fired at it. The bomb missed and bounced off the wall, and hit a teammate, killing them. It was obviously not intentional, but to my surprise, some fucking staff members gives me a warning about "DO NOT TK!" in the red letters and all that. BULL FUCKING SHIT! This is almost too much feces to handle.

so you first complain about how nothing happened when you reported a teamkiller, and now you are complaining that we did our job, ,but that it was on you?
a warn really does nothing. we don't keep records. if you aren't doing it on purpose and get warned don't worry about it, you obviously have nothing to fear.
i apologize for some of my prior comments. it was a long day and real life was catchin up. didn't mean to attack you, i'm just saying that we cannot just hire more ppl out of the blue, i'm pretty sure there would be negative effects of having 12-15 moderators on at a time, and as well, i do think the zone is policed properly most of the time, it rare instances we may not get to some reports, in these cases do another ?cheater and try to get our attention. in the extreme case there is nobody on, just remember it is a game, and try not to get all worked up over it ;)

Err .. well I show up for tk'ers when I can. 95% of tk calls are :
- A player who's trying to learn how to fly jav, sees all this nifty trick shots and tries to figure out how they're done.
- A player that had one bad shot and naturally, whining commences.
- A freq that doesn't want a levi in their base.
- A freq complaining about a levi in their base who just shot 5 nme ships for one of their own freq .. of course the one who got shot complains.
If we banned people based on stupidity the zone would have a lot less people. Don't complain that we don't ban someone just cause they tk'd you once.

Give me a break; I don't report people who tk me once. I've had several experiences where people would OBVIOUSLY tk me on purpose, and repeatedly try to, even FOLLOWING me from arena to arena!
Also, there are tons of times when there is a team levi in the flag room, that shoots really retardedly, killing multiplel teammates, even when there are no enemies in sight! It really looks like the staff turns a blind eye to levs that tk.

do you even play in pub? 95% of the time if a base lev is getting reported its because it consistently kills 3 or 4 team mates just to kill one blue. and how often do you see 5 enemy ships attacking anymore? and these people who see "nifty shots" are usually just tking for fun and playing innocent when someone accuses them of it. from my perspective your points are shitty.

For a week I went into pub on almost every tk call at certain hours (even though ZH's aren't supposed to). Maybe I just landed on a bad week for tk calls. Whilst playing base I think the presence of levis are actually more bothersome to good base play than the occasional tk'er. At least if someone is intentionnally (sp?) teamkilling something can be done about it. There isn't much you can do about a levterr except send out two people to get it. When you're on a freq of 5, it isn't exactly easy to do. And far from 95% of tk calls are levi complaints. Would I axe levi if I were in power to do so? Definitly yes.
As far as people teamkilling for fun and then claiming innocence .. well until they grant us some form of kill log to check they can behave when they see a ZH or ER entering. Whilst we have those tags, we're easy to spot. I use the "nifty shot" excuse because I watch the teamkillers and you can see what they're trying to do (and failing at doing) ... people really just don't pay attention. It's like complaining you were teamkilled by a shark missile below the flagroom really. The bloody things are so slow ... it probably took about 5 seconds to reach the red walls, and because you didn't move, it killed you.
Anyway we're just cops so no one is going to like us. The teamkillers because we ruin their fun and the players because they think we don't do enough about teamkillers :D

You see the quote button above the post reply button? Hit it hard. I think contraception would be more handy than a spit bucket.
Dear God you are all idiots one person says 'we need to hire more staff' and any idiot signed up on the boards says ' OMG STAFF!! ME!!!' if your not one now stfu and deal with it you wont ever be. As for lou's generalization its how it is simple. And Nap kinda explained staff..its a chat where all people do is sit rant and rave about how they hate when 'people do this and people to that..' And when a ?help call comes the bot takes it..so ANY time they see a cheater they all fight to the death for it with their stupid ass 'on it!' macros.. Why you would want to be staff other than pulling an Era and abuse till your found out..I have no idea..
