Ban request poll of shame

[Meow]

Trust me, the ban section is everything else but amusement for all the admins who still care to read it.
Most admins burn out on that after a while and others have gone inactive over it.
It's fine that you enjoy it and you still could but it won't be the amount and stupid requests as is right now.

Admins not losing all motivation over this is number one priority.

Well request are retarded in nature but also english in those threads *shivers*

im totally aware of that meow i was just kidding

[highglandeur]

24h rule why not, was hoping for more...

[Meow]

Like what?
Not allowing people to do ban requests against people who break "minor" rules?

[highglandeur]

tbh what i had in mind is to get rid of it

[Meow]

That was also considered but there are valid requests in there that needs to be taken care of.
Alternative is a forum where you can post but all threads are only visible to admins and then having the forum where only admins can post with bans that happened due to request + proof and person who requested it.

I kinda like reducing the rage ban threads though and having people contact admins directly via live chat stuff though.
Easier if you can just reason with someone who decides on your request than having all the trashtalk in the threads.
Although I'll try to hand out all the warnings for random posts on the ban section tomorrow.

Yes it is and we are brainstorming some changes at the moment.

How about getting more active NA admins?  Some of the shit that goes down in NA_1 without admin interference, every day, round after round, is getting ridiculous.

Not my department.

Oh most definitely. I will easily sacrifice the amusement to save the poor admins, can't even begin to imagine the horrors that place brings to them. Didn't want to make it seem like our amusement > your effort. I completely agree with reformatting it if it helps the admins have an easier time, they have it hard enough as is.

Re-reading this and it came off as slightly sarcastic, not my intentions at all, I'm genuine with this statement. Keep up the good work you poor souls, I mean admins.

It's like the morning newspaper. Like to check in on it every morning, good source of entertainment to be sure. 

More like the fucking obituaries. Read about people you never knew disappearing off the face of the earth. Morbidly interesting.

Hiding it won't solve the problem, i guess although you pretend it is a horrible task, you enjoy those daily banning sessions somehow and don't want to lose that privilege. What you say about some valid request needing to be adressed sounds like a lot of bullcrap to me, because you would be active on server if you cared about that...

[no_rules_just_play]

i think you are crossing a line highlandeur

[highglandeur]

yes I am and you should try it sometimes no_rules, you owe it to your own nickname.
Anyways i'm trying to help him, what i say is provocative and i don't assume it to be right, i am giving him an opportunity to stop doing something wrong, I only hope he will grab it, using this forum argument as an excuse to those who asked this from him.

Wait, what? How come ban request section be a disgrace for community?
You think asking for a ban for someone who breaks the rules is bad - I think it brings justice. Admins just can't deal with every issue ingame, nobody will monitor all the servers 24*7.
If you think it makes bad atmosphere in community - it doesn't. Rule breakers do. Trying to get them banned is a good thing in every way.
Another issue is some ban request being not reasonable enough - Meow said enough about that, I think they'll somehow manage it.
So I don't really get the sense of this topic, honestly.
