Downfall of War

It's because I haven't been playing and reporting players directly to staff via msg. In a span of two hours I usually spotted and directed 1-6 hackers to staff. This isn't even an egotistic joke; legit could be part of the reason for higher hacker amounts.

Creating an Anti Cheat for War should be #1 priority. :v

 

Agreed... :/ ive been playing a lot of war lately....and ive seen as much as 20 or more hackers on.....i report like 5 to 6 times but no staff gets on...after that i quit....as @Lekosa1 told creating an ANTI CHEAT FOR WAR HAS TO BE #1 PRIORITY..

 

I remember a times when there were 3 speed hackers on war and everyone was reporting them. I was spamming the hacker through msgs, and I left to get Chilled_67 to ban the hackers (he was on Wild West). He logged out of WW but did not go to war to ban the hackers. in the end, the hackers weren't banned and I got a warning for spamming the hacker's inbox. -.-

 

moderators need to realize just because they didn't apply for a certain server doesn't mean they don't have to moderate it. if you're a kit brawl mod you're still responsible for banning hackers on warz or war. it doesn't give you the right to ignore the report, and when there are no war mods online you can't just think "oh well I'll just wait for one to get on". do your job.

 

If this was the case, I, and probably many others, would actually apply. This would be beneficial to the problem of mods being in-active as the players that apply would be because they are more active in-game. To me, it's not about the number of mods as compared to a fewer amount, but much more active. I really think what you just said needs to be heavily considered to help there be more mods, especially in War.

 

I've noticed a lot of hackers during night time EST. (on any brawl server) Are most of our staff western hem?

 

Being able to apply globally instead of server-specific would greatly help with finding new staff imo.

 

yo @tupaq19 you still play ;o and same old issues as back in the old days not enough staff too many hackers

 

Haven't join for a long time, but I'd like to present my theory nonetheless. In my eyes it's not a question of "too strict requirements" (the current ones aren't even that high, e.g. if you don't use TS it's not a big issue), but of two other main problems:

1. It takes ages to become a Mod. If you have managed it to get JMod you have to wait one month to get rid of your trial status. After that you gotta wait another few months until the next hack test. If you chocke it (maybe caused by a combination of dumbness and bad luck) you'll wait another few months and you'll feel demotivated. Someone might argue that JMods can deal with Hackers as well, but let's be honest - they cannot do more than an ordinary player in a certain situation. To deal with hackers effeciently you need the "Mod" tag. In addition lots of JMods retire (and are lost for the staff team) because of that: They feel useless/ demotivated / ashamed by sitting on the JMod tag for too long.
Therefore: Reduce the JMod time (by increasing the amount of hack tests, shortening the trial time, lowering the hack test requirements, or giving experienced JMods more powers... I don't know, do what you want :/ )

2. As my boy @SoCool21 already managed above (I still don't get why he hasn't been promoted to SMod yet...): The upper staff team has to get more strict with "lazy" Mods. I'm not able to judge the current situation, but I bet there are still staff members who are sitting on their position, not doing anything. Demote and degrade left and right - there is no way someone has <10 ingame hours per month and 0 forum activity and is still a staff member. The same thing goes for activity regarding reports, no matter if ingame or on the internet. I know you have such kind of statistics, give the red dots some powers and don't limitit them on Slack posts!
That leads me to my last point: If a staff member is motivated, plays a lot, suggest a lot, is active on Slack/ forums and ingame... honor it. I can remember staff members with 100+ ingame hours per month, an unbelievable amount of resolved reports and a good forum activity. Some of them had such results nearly every month.
Why is there no promotion?! **** the hack test, queues or personal opinions - these players have done that much for Brawl, why do you wait? The results of this waiting can be seen in the Outro section and their resignation threads. And if they don't resign they give up to work hard... it doesn't get honored anyway. I don't have to name them, you know yourself.

And if I take a look at the staff list and see (an) inactive Admin(s) , SMod(s) and Mod(s) and on the other hand good people stucked in the JMod/Mod list... yes, then I sometimes get angry. I didn't name the "inactive" persons this time, as I can't - I'm not involved in the community any longer, how could I judge somebody.

That's your personal task, as a staff member, as an ordinary player and as a semi staff member - Support the good mods and criticise the bad ones. We can only hope that Roke and Putty will react on your ideas. Dear staff member who's reading right now, I'd be pleased if you could link this in Slack, otherwise 75% of you guys will miss it. Thanks for reading. ;D

 

@tupaq19 The WHOLE war staff team is inactive. I can only take EU time but when it goes to EST and stuff we need the American war mods ._,

 

oof

 

When I was in charge of war there was no of these complaints.

The solution:
Make me admin

 

It didnt work. It set of triggers when people went on the sponges when it was changed. It only set of miniscule triggers for the first few months I was mod for.

 

probably because the only people who played war 1.0 were the exact same 20 people that loved the word "repetitive"
