What is your current issue?

SweetLava and ZapCrusher's dumbass bans because they rated ONE of Sig's posts disagree. I received a warning for the same thing but after literally pointing out which part I disagreed with, he left it. Not sure if he removed the warning but that's just ridiculous. :V

WarZ staff should be 1 mod 1 server. There's always about 4 mods on and if they're all on 1 out of 10 servers AND maybe not replying because they're fighting, nothing will get moderated.
The excuse seems to be that the mods are friends and like to play with each other... That's understandable if they didn't do it all the time.

Same thing with TeamSpeak. Mojangs channel may be gone but now they all sit in "Team Holy".

 

I'm going to make this simple, WarZ is not lie any other server out there teams are needed. If normal players have teams so should mods and it just so happens all the mods are friends. You guys want good Friends to break up from talking to one another. We have all been friends since day one and I personally think we all do our jobs well. You can't just split a team up because there mods, but there could be a 20 minute maximum time per server at a time with the hole team on.

 

Please do not respond to other people as then it starts flame! ^^^^^

 

The only thing that comes to mind that I know for a fact occurs is mods do not warn in-game players publicly. I know that this is intentional, but I believe that it would be better if they warned players in the public chat. Many people, including some former moderators, share my view as seen in the comments of this thread. Here is my reasoning. 1. It makes the moderator's jobs easier. If they issue a public warning, and state that it goes for everyone, then all of the players on the server will think twice before breaking the rule that the first player broke. 2. Any problems that could arise from a public warning can be easily dealt with. If players want to insult the moderator for issuing a warning, they can be dealt with accordingly. I find this easier to deal with than issuing multiple private warnings and repeatedly having to warn players for the same thing. 3. It gives our community reassurance that our moderators are actually doing something. This is one of the reasons that things have become so terrible, that you posted this thread chickenputty. The fact that moderators are forced to warn privately has lead to the belief by a large portion of our community, that they do absolutely nothing at all! So, if not for anything else, please allow them to warn in public chat for this reason! I believe that in the old days, the system was to warn players in public chat. It worked then, it can work now.

 

I completely agree with @randomcitizen1.

I think having moderators give warnings publicly would be great. A couple flame threads have been made because of this, and giving warnings publicly would help a lot.

 

Only replying to this to clear up some confusion.

First of all, SweetLava was not simply banned for rating a post disagree. She was banned for ignoring 4 warnings directly from an Admin, and never once bothered to explain to me her reasoning. As @Myortvye said on a previous thread, if an Admin (or authority figure in general) asks you to stop doing something, whether you feel it's right or wrong, your first reaction should be to stop what you're doing and try and sort the issue out. SweetLava never did, and out of defiance continued to put the rating back. All I was doing was simply doing my job, it was nothing personal.

Second, I never banned ZapCrusher. I never warned him, and I never removed his rating. How that was pinned on me I'm not sure, but I'm just letting everyone know here.

Understand that I am not posting this for it to be replied to. This is simply a clarification for those who were confused/mislead on the issue.

 

We are not saying don't talk to each other. We are saying, that you guys can't be efficient all on one served. Maybe have friendly fights sometimes, just do your godamn job.

 

This is where my idea of being ON DUTY and OFF DUTY comes in.

 

The WarZ staff do nothing. There's players out there are regular players out there who catch more hackers and more rule breakers then others. Mc brawl knows the warZ staff sucks and they don't want to do a single thing about it. You guys made @specknav a mod, look at his background. You continue to have @LuckyPop a mod when he doesn't to **** in chat. He even has videos when people ask him questions and he just logs off. The warZ mods just do the minimum. They are biased. Just plain out biased. There's vids of @LuckyPop friends who make ddos threats and there not banned? He says "they were just joking" but how do you know when players make ddos threats in chat and boom he's banned. There's vidoes of @Giggadream abusing on coolkillers channel. There's vidoes of lucky's alt hacking. There's specks background. The staff is **** because they don't do anyhing at all.

 

Oh I didn't see that. Decent idea. But I feel as a staff member, you should always be on duty. That's what theyapplied for, not to be off duty, do nothing, and be with their buddies. I don't know.


Also, Putty told us this is for replies. Not to discuss people's replies.

 

On this thread you can say what you don't like about McBrawl/what is going wrong, but please do it in a respectable way and do not insult other players or staff members.

 

So, I think we all agree, the WarZ staff is **** other than ehvahn and raven, team holy is bad, there have been stupid bans lately, some staff need demoted and there is definite corruption in the staff. Putty, the people have spoken and we would appreciate if you got on these issues right away.

 

I'm noticing a lot of people starting to respond to each other.

Please don't respond to other people's complaints in this thread. You can do it elsewhere. (Create a convo, write it on their profile, etc). Try to remember this thread is between your complaint, and the admins. Not each other. Thanks.

 

I know mods aren't always going to be on when I am, but these days I rarely see A mod on war. I then go to warz to derp around. What would you know, one server with tons of war mods online. Seems like war is being pushed to the side and warz is becoming too popular no one wants to be on it. There is always something going on on each war server and no one to put a stop to it. A while ago the servers were being kept up with and moderated and now it seems like everyone is slacking and going off to do other things but their job. Just what I've seen recently.

 

Team holy
There should be 1 or 2 mods per server NO MATTER WHAT. They say that they stopped having a lot of staff on one server, but then you have sig on an alt and mr_o without the purple name so it's actually 4. Even if they are friends, they should realize that applying for mod means less time with friends and more time alone moderating. They also say that they are chat moderators, but most of what they say is "gg" or "gf" and ignore actual questions. This part might be me, but most of the staff in team holy seems as professional as staff used to be. Also they are all in the same channel on ts3 all the time because they are playing with each other.

Deleting things
A lot of things get deleted because certain staff members don't like what they are reading, even if its not breaking any rules. Some things get deleted when there is no flame in the opening post, but in the comments. The person who made the thread has no control over a dumbass posting something dumb so why should the whole thread get deleted? I think that threads should just be locked not deleted, unless it's something thats 18+ or gore or stuff like that.

 

Woah guys ok. Some people, need to be a tad bit more polite towards staff aswell. Suggest what Mods can improve on instead of yelling it to them. There is never going to come anything out of yelling at them. Regarding the bans, only staff knows the hole stories. They take their actions accordingly. You cannot yell at the staff when you only know one side of the story. If you belive you can do a better job, apply for staff. Otherwise, suggest possible improvements in a polite manner and leave it. You have to be polite at all times, even if you are angry at a problem.

 

WarZ staff, as many have said above.
Some people just need a kick in the face to get them to see their priorities as a mod once more.
This excludes a few of the WarZ mods right now.

 

Being warned for disagreeing on a post really pisses me off.
Disagrees just mean that you have a different view from the other person but for some reason a certain staff member (Im pretty sure you guys know) thinks that myself and other players were using the rating as a negative rating.
Really confused me and frustrates me.
Multiple times in the past has an authority figure in brawl abused his power and even tried to temp-ban me for simply asking a question. I brought to the attention of the admins (Putty, Yin, Chap) and this authority figure is still in place even after you guys removed my punishment.
It just seems like the higher ranking staff can do whatever they please with no regard to the players and then never have to face any consequences.

 

To be honest, deleting threads isn't much of an issue, it was only a brief issue for about a day because of all the players complaining about the staff. The only times threads do get get deleted is when players flame against the staff, that is a perfectly reasonable time to delete a thread. It should never get to the point of deleting a thread just because of constant flame towards the staff. Players should learn to accept that there are 2 POVs and staff need to know the right time to delete a thread, both sides need to learn.

I can see where both the WarZ staff and the players are coming from, but the Team Holy issue can be easily solved with either @Lord_Roke's or @GreenPeas_'s ideas.

The event that happened with @SweetLava for giving a rating was (hopefully) most likely a one time thing, but the higher-ups need to make sure it never happens again.

 

When players believe x staff does their job the best when those staff are inactive themselves, especially when the player making this claim doesn't even play the brawl servers themselves anymore thus the claim being a complete assumption.

People yell at mods for being in private channels when half the other staff don't log on teamspeak or just sit in afk/lobby room
