[ Closed ] [COMMUNITY] Now that I'm a mod (Page 1 of 2)

What do you mean with BS

PS: You have deleted my post where I concretulate you and this is ok. Now im want to concratulate you here in the right topic.

EDIT:
Have I a warning now or not? I hope not.

I elect moderators that I trust or trust by proxy that I see is fit for the task.

Asking to be a moderator will make you a non-candidate.

Are there any exceptions?

I mean exceptions for new members and im trying to say thanks after feedback because its rude to ignore the feedback.

Nice initiative. Sometimes things need to move on, and I hope this can be a way to stop flamings and *cough* stupid posts. By the way, courage dude, since I guess this can be pretty time taking...

Hm. I think, it IS a solution, even if it is a hard one. They will learn to behave... and I think the ban will not take for forever, yeah? So they come back after 1-2 weeks and they know that they get banned if they do BS.
And maybe Magnet will decrease the time they are banned when they excuse friendly in IRC...

Oh, and you won't get a ban if you just behave adult.

I really don't want to get impolite, but your post just made me angry. I didn't want to make an argument or to tell you something. Some of my posts are useless - true. But the one you deleted was a real question to you.
I see no reason in why you removed my post.

Of course mods have to get some order into this chaos... BUT, you also have to pay attention in that this game is about little cute creatures called "Tee's" in a comic-style-world and simple gameplay:
Do you really think all the people here are adult? An extremly big part of this community is like 9-13 years-old. They have no clue about the internet.
I think your system with warnings is perfect, but don't overreact.

I guess I will get a warning very soon, because I try to discuss about how you do your work. Maybe it's not true in your eyes, but it seems like you kinda want to act like a teacher.

I get your point and be sure that there was no plan to forget the facts. I'm not sold on any target group for
Teeworlds, as a matter of fact I think having the community behaving this way prevents more mature players from participating and their involvement shouldn't be overlooked either. I wouldn't describe the atmosphere as relaxed and chummy, but rather as irritating and immature (it wasn't always like this). I have seen good forums die because of that kind of mentality in the past and my goal is not to let it happen here. If that implies that I become some sort of tyrant fucker let it be, that's the job description matricks gave me. For the record I would like not to have to intervene at all -- but the current state of the forums has reached a point to which no developer ever reads it anymore, because it is simply too painful. If you think I'm senseless, I'd like to point that the community as it is (and the forums as its representation) is a reason of why there is no progress on Teeworlds' development.

It makes me think of a quote from Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi... "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am" .

I would like for a wider range of people to come to the forums and feel like it's a sane place rather than an inferno of lol-posts and gibberish. In my mind, people are supposed to get to know each other in-game. Teeworlds is a game, not a forum. I am afraid when I see some people spend more time on the forum rather than in the game. As for an offtopic forum, there is none on purpose.

Well, people can be mature even though they are 15.  Just face it - bullshit is bullshit and will get cleaned up. We've clearly been to kind on this point, and right now the forum is a mess, which we hope that magnet will help us to clean up.

nice to see that there will be more moderators
i have the feeling the forum already became a litle bit saver for offtopics!
@your warinig systhem: oh ehm if this had always been i already got banned i think, if i was new my english was the worst at this forum and i spammed and flamed a lot...
it was a long time ago but anyhow: can you excuse for that?

Some updates & precisions:

- instead of replying "Nice", "Thank you", etc (very frequent in Graphics, Maps or Mods topics), if you don't have anything substantial to add to the topic, please use the signal system instead and "vote up" the post you liked. That counts as a Thank you, good idea, etc. This is not only for the original poster but for people who reply. I know people like to receive comments on their art/etc, but comment means something more than just thanks. For thanks, an upvote using the signal system, or a discussion on IRC or in-game will be much better. If every forum member were to say thanks to every contribution we would have a serious problem .

- moderators also use the signal system to upvote or downvote posts. When we do, it's +5 or -5. If you see your post really low rated, then please understand that you did something wrong and it doesn't add up to the discussion. It's something we do if deleting is too strong; or we use it to make the thread more readable. So please use the signal system as a way to know if you are doing it wrong or not . Try not to abuse it to express dissent.

It's all about making the forums more readable and enjoyable for everyone. There is an IRC channel, #teeworlds on Quakenet, where you can discuss things in a more lively manner if you wish.

exactly.
magnet,go to my gfx topic and ull get scared.

Thats also my opinion. Look, Teeworlds has many not-english players and most of them can't speak english as well as you. And be happy that bobsmiley  congratulates you ! Yes the forum is full of bs and spamm but this solution won't help ;-)

Just my opinion
