Problems that need to be mentioned/adressed

Im going to say this before i begin, if you think that this is flame, disrespect, abuse, ect. And report me for such, you are taking part in censorship, an act where someones free speech is silenced because a certain individual/individuals disagrees with what you have to say, i have an opinion and you should respect it. Im not here to ***** and moan about the things i dont like, im here to address problems within our little community that should be fixed. I will also state that im open to opinions, unlike the most of you, so if you have any valid things to mention, please do.

The problem id like to address is reports, bias, and staff problems, note that i will be giving my argument from my own experiences and speak from my perspective, i will also do my best to look at these things from a general and more community-esque view. (Because how ironic would that be if i were to discuss bias from a biased point of view)

Im going to say it one last time, this is not flame, questioning authority is what i do because even the people we rely on can lose themselves in midst of some petty status, i would also like to state that this post has nothing to do with in-game actions, those are relatively tame because lets be honest, if i was going to write a big professional, intellectual, and structured "rant" over a ****ing game of minecraft, thats
1. Incredibly ****ing stupid and 2. A waste of my time and your time.

Now, disclaimers out of the way the first point id like to make brings every point into one, Personal bias towards staff reports, im not going to mention names because no doubt if i did you ****ers would consider that "staff disrespect" and this post would probably get removed, so heres a situation, Moderator A, well call him, Okami (Original, i know) say Okami is on the Teamspeak and is in a chanel with a play that he has had altercations with before, if the player notices that Okami is being overly aggressive and abuses their power toward him, the right thing to do is report to a higher authority that Okami is abusing his power as Moderator, something that when applying for the position is addressed to make the applicant that if they abuse their powers as moderator they will be revoked from their position as moderator. Now if the player (as ive mentioned before) has had previous altercations with Okami where the same situation had occurred where Okami would abuse his power and the player had reported it. So with that information this would be the second time the player would report Okami for abuse of power.

So, giving that this would be the second offense of a moderator abusing power, you would expect that some sort of action would be made, yeah, that sounds innocent enough? Okami abused his power for a second time and both times were reported so why wouldnt some action would be taken, its not a foreign concept and its to be expected if any of this were to be taken with a shred of seriousness, right? No. All the player gets from the admin they reported Okami to responds with "Thanks for alerting us". Thats it, no action taken, so justice nothing. In my case it was understandable, i reported the staff member in a completely unprofessional way and it kinda just made me look like a whiny ***** because of how butthurt i sounded. I sounded more like some upset kid rather than a player whos tired of being abused by a moderator whos can get away mostly anything. Now you may be asking "why can he/she get away with mostly anything Papa Okami, please tell me." Simple answer, personal Bias say the moderator the player reported happened to be good friends with the admin he was reported to, who would the admin be more inclined to believe? The player or the moderator being accused? Thats right, the Moderator, because theyre good friends and the Moderator wouldnt lie right? So the whole 2 altercations are null and void.

This was my case, actually the first problem occured when said moderator was only in trial, not even a legitimate mod yet, i would assume that would put up some red flags during the trial stage, but no because theyve formed some friendship everything i, and the metaphorical player reported is just gone, not even a problem anymore. This is pure genuine bull**** at its fines ladies and gents. Now i would thing as a community if you were to all see the ways some users with any sort of power would act twoards certain players while there pulled into Private channel Or the Livestream Channel or Room 2 People, the way they abuse and just over-all treat players you would see things the way i, and some others do. Im not here to **** talk mods im here to look for reform, and by reform an actual way to make sure proper punishments are handed out to rule breakers, this only applies to staff if some average joe would be reported for harassment or just over-all unprofessionalism they would be disciplined or even kick/banned on moments notice, but there things change and the rankings go up.

Maybe things will change, maybe they'll continue to get worse, the most important thing is that you guys as a community know whats going on and are informed about things like this. Im expecting this post to be taken down in a few days so this'll only be here for as long as time allows, use this knowledge wisely, be cautious about what you do, DO NOT do the things i did if youre going to report any person whether staff or player do it PROFESSIONALLY under absolutely no circumstances will you act like some whiny little ***** who cant solve petty problems themselves, only report serious problems. And do it with the knowlege that your problem could easily be dropped and forgotten as easy it was for a person to break the rules.

Have a fantastic ****ing day, and keep it ****ing Gucci
