I also still can't use the shoutbox either. Though it doesn't log me out when I try using it, and I don't have the "session expire" problem except when I use my phone and my PC at the same time.

Maybe it was me, I tried banning an aimbotter on dr like 1 hour ago, but banned someone else first. I unbanned the guid 1 minute later.
But the name was IceTin or something like that, not Newbie

Zitat von Skalli

The time is pretty buggy tho!
In my statistics it says 185.38 hours.
Actually i do have atleast 300 hours on deathrun only.

Well the stats page was reset in summer 2013 I think, so all the hours played before that date are not recorded. Also I think when MAM is down, hours are also not counted. And also in the past 2 weeks I think nothing was recorded

@le Puta yeah sry requirement is 60 not 70, my bad

Sounds good to me, therefore...

#Accepted

Congratz.

I'll come in game and set you. If you want to speed up the process, you can add me on xfire (username: ufaced), and hit me up when you are on the server.

Hey le Puta, thanks for your application.

First, you don't reach the playtime requirement of 70 hours, did you play with another key before?

At first I thought I would decline your application, because it's very short, and furthermore has nothing impressive at all in it.
Also the first reviews about you is that you're a nice guy, but you can get mad easily and swear. And that's really something I don't want to see in a trusted player.

But then a lot of nice reviews came up so I think you can have your chance.
I just need to be sure you can stay calm, avoid swearing etc. Trusted players have IMO to be exemples to other players on the server, and swearing is breaking the rules.

So now I want you to read these threads:
- 3xP' CoD4 server rules
- You've been accepted as Trusted player/Trial member - Read.
- Premade kick/ban reasons
And tell me if you agree with everything.

If you do, it especially means you agree not to break any rules, so no swearing etc.

Are you okay to upload it and give me the link?

Edit: Nvm, don't need it anymore

Ah damn okay and would you happen to have a backup? xD
I was really bad lucky uploading the one map I shouldn't have...
Or maybe there is some kind of trash bin on the server that I can restore files from? I can always hope

The new maps will now appear in rotation.
The problem was a stupid line length limitation in the config, so after a certain number of characters the maps I was adding weren't taken into account. But Duffman scripted smth nice to get around the limitation

For now I removed framey_v3, caelum and up.
If other maps make the server crash please report it in the shoutbox, and I'll remove them too.
If then you can find maybe another version of the map (for example for mp_dr_up, the one we had before was lighter than the current one, and didn't make the server crash), you can upload it or give me a link and I'll try to add it and see if it works.

according to most answers you maybe did misread this part:
( you are free to make assumes regarding the above posted content, i hope you will be clever enough to see that this is just a reply from my vision/opinion. if you feel insulted in any way. please post it below and i will fairly apologise for my mistake )

I didn't misread this part. Indeed this is your opinion/vision. If it were facts, there would be basically nothing to discuss.

Zitat von #removed

yes i did ment: circus

i ment that you make a show out of something you could just tell. now you are just busy providing an entertainment source...
( also my opinion )

I'm really not entertaining myself right now, I can assure you.
I am also not making a show, as you said, it's you who see it as such.

Zitat von #removed

i've already said i do get the point, but i've requested ons kindly to help me out on sorting the flaws so i can actually improve.
but he refuses to help me.

Why do you need Ons' help to improve your behavior, if I may ask? I personally don't think you need anyone's help. You just yourself need the motivation to change.
Or if you actually need help about smth, you can try asking other people. It's Ons' right to decline your ask for help, no one is forced to help anyone else.
Because anyway, in the end, your behavior is only the result of what you choose to do, and no one else has anything to do with it.

Zitat von #removed

so would you grant me a list of the reports made on my posts so i could analyze it. ( post/part/reason/ no need for names )

I actually don't know how to do that. Reports are cleared after a few days or after they have been taken care of.
Furthermore I don't think it would be a decisive help for you to change. It would surely help a bit, but I really don't think it's needed.
That's why I won't take my time to investigate about whether it's possible or not to find them and give them to you, because it would take quite some of my time for smth that I consider as not of a big importance.

Zitat von #removed

i think this was enough discussion for today ?

If you consider this is enough for you, no one forces you to answer. You can answer tomorrow if you're fed up with that for today, or you can decide not to answer at all.

Zitat von #removed

you help me change and i will provide support or you ban me.

As I said, we're not obliged to help you. Though I hope you can see that's what I've been trying to do with my multiple long posts over the past months.
I think I've said enough to show you what was wrong with your behavior on this board -> Insults, toxic sarcasm (and maybe other stuff that I'm not thinking about right now).
If you don't know what toxic sarcasm is, I can give you link or explain it to you.
If you know what it is, then you know what you have to change in the way you write (along with no more insults etc).
Basically, anything that can lead to a bad atmosphere, tension between users of this board, etc, has nothing to do on this board.

Zitat von #removed

your call.

Okay. So that means you consider the decision is ours and your rely on us to make the good decision. And you won't appeal it, because you said it was our call, and not yours.
(if it's not what you mean, you can remove "your call" from your post, because it would mean nothing in this case).

Zitat von #removed

( you are free to make assumes regarding the above posted content, i hope you will be clever enough to see that this is just a reply from my vision/opinion. if you feel insulted in any way. please post it below and i will fairly apologise for my mistake )

I do not feel insulted, I just think a lot of what you wrote is wrong or irrelevant.

Zitat von #removed

thank you very much for typing me a book i could find on the internet aswell

See, that's some kind of stupid sarcasm that isn't even fun. Or maybe only for you, but that's not how it works in a community. Humor is way better when it makes everyone laugh, not only yourself, trust me. Bad start for changing one's behavior. That's why when you say "ivent said i will or will not adapt", I have doubts that you will adapt, and that's why I thought writing this thread was required (by required I mean required to avoid getting you banned).
For the record, no I wasn't stupid enough to re-write it, there is a copy-paste option on computers that I'm sure you're aware of.

Zitat von #removed

About the court, it was once publicated on the news and the forum owners actually had to pay a penalty.
So yes, it is possible.

Link please. It may be a completely different situation and be totally irrelevant. And if it was in a regular paper (not online), take a pic and upload it.
I'm not kidding. Because I'm 99.99% sure that it actually was a completely different situation than the current one.

Zitat von #removed

as once again, i reply your posts in the chat. but you are creating this whole circus yourself haha.

I guess I see what you're trying to say (even though I think you should look up what "circus" actually means). And no, I'm not creating this myself. You write things that are pissing off a lot of people here. And we're just nice enough to take the time to explain to you why you should change your behavior, instead of banning you directly. I don't see how that's creating a circus/circle.

Zitat von #removed

nobody asked you to create this post lol

I didn't know I had to wait for someone to ask me to do something before I could do it.

Zitat von #removed

anyway:
i said in the chat that i'vent said i will or will not adapt yet.

Exactly, you had not said you will.

Zitat von #removed

people with whom i've spoken already do know i will,

Well that's very good to hear.

Zitat von #removed

but do also know you should put less focus on drilling every move into the ground.

I don't care what people think about me. This is their opinion. I know a lot of people prefer to just say what they think in one sentence. I guess that's what you call being straight forward. I call it the easiest and stupidest solution (if you're actually trying to fix smth). This is a lot easier indeed. And usually ends up in stupid raging discussions leading nowhere.
But if anyone thinks I should behave differently, we can have a discussion in TS3 or wherever he wants.

Zitat von #removed

you could also kindly request to let me make a list, or request me to provide the solution instead of reporting the issue.

If you read again the shoutbox entries, you'll see that's what I've done. In an even better way, because I didn't request you smth specific, I let you the choice.
Especially: "So I will ask you to change the way you report issues (using toxic sarcasm), or completely stop reporting issues. You choose."
As you can see, I let you the choice.

Zitat von #removed

lots of options and you keep picking the easiest one: drill it down , we cant stand critism.....

That's your opinion, and I consider taking hours of my time to explain to you why it would IMO be better for everyone if you changed your behavior, is definitely not the easiest option.
Or explain to me how it is easy? Just 2 exemples of other options: Insta ban, or not caring at all. That takes a hella lot less time and it's way easier, trust me.

There are plenty of websites talking about it but I think this one explains it well:
What Exactly Is Freedom of Speech and How Does It Apply to the Internet?

Let me quote some parts so you won't have to read everything if you don't want to.

Zitat

The truth is, what your freedom of speech is and where it applies is actually very simple, but our understanding of it has been distorted, mostly because people use "free speech" as a weapon where it doesn't apply, and often as a shield to hide behind when they're being criticized.

Zitat

Today, most of us turn to the internet because the tools are free and available: Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, newspapers, blogs with comment sections, forums, they all offer one-click methods for us to speak our minds. However, when you leave a comment on a company's Facebook page, post to a Reddit thread, or tweet your grievances, you're speaking in privately owned spaces. This means you should have no expectation that your speech is somehow protected beyond that service's terms of use.

Zitat

Most spaces on the internet are privately owned, and have no obligation to allow you to speak freely in their space.
Whether it's Facebook removing content that violates its own terms of service, a blog owner deleting a comment they find offensive, or a big company deleting user posts from its Facebook page, your speech may be censored, but you have no first amendment right to free speech in those places. This includes our discussions on Lifehacker—we've always held our community up to high standards, and if you start a discussion we find isn't up to those standards, we reserve our right to dismiss it.

Zitat

While "censorship" can apply to any type of speech suppression, censorship in the context of "free speech" is generally reserved for speech that's suppressed by government or state actors. A company deleting your post on their Facebook page about how their product was a waste of your money, even if you think the post was relevant or witty, is not state suppression of your speech. It may be censorship, but your freedom of speech has not been violated.

The fact is, you can still express your freedom of speech. Just not here, if the owners of this board decide (for the reason they want), that you aren't allowed to say what you said.
It is not your choice, and freedom of speech completely doesn't apply on a privately owned forum.

Go tell Facebook they violated your rights by removing a post of yours because they considered it violated their TOS, and take them to court. I'm sure you'll win (for those who didn't see it, that's sarcasm).

Zitat

So where can you speak freely if you find your opinions are no longer welcome on acompany's Facebook page, or if you've been banned from commenting on a blog? You can set up your own space to speak—as in start your own blog and invite people to come and participate in a truly free discussion with you, or start your own Facebook page where you air your grievances with the company that won't respond to you anymore. Again, because these are actually private spaces, your speech is only as protected as your service provider's whim. If you start a free blog at Wordpress or Tumblr, you have to stay inside the lines of acceptable use. If you start a Facebook page, you have to adhere to Facebook's TOS. Make sure to read them carefully.

Your best bet is to get a decent web host and host your own blog where you can say what you like. When you host your own speech, you're now the party with the terms—you can be as lenient or restrictive as you choose. You may not have the audience you wanted (that Facebook page's subscribers or forum's readers), but free speech protects your right to speak—it doesn't force others to listen. You're still subject to your hosting company's TOS, and it's still a semi-private space, but it's the closest you can get to public on the internet, and most hosting companies don't care what you say as long as it doesn't get them into legal trouble.

So basically, as we consider a lot of your posts to be toxic for our community, we're asking you to change your behavior, or leave, or get banned.
We don't even have to justify and give you reasons for that actually. We're just nice enough to do it. But now we've told you so many times to change your bahavior that I can't remember how many times it was. So I think everyone will agree that this is your last warning.

I know you can be nice, so just be cool with us if you wish to stay here with us, instead of creating too often a bad atmosphere on these forums.
(Once again, idc if you think you're actually not creating a bad atmosphere on these forums. I know you are, and the owners know you are, and that's what counts).

Regards.

PS: For those who don't know, this post is directed to #removed, I just noticed I didn't write his name.

Edit:

Just thought of a nice example to sum it all up

You buy a house, it doesn't only give you the right to live in the it, it also gives you the right to kick out of it anyone who enters in it without your permission, or anyone who displeases you or whatever. And you obviously don't need any reason for kicking him out, because it's your property and you do whatever you want with it.
In this case, the board is the property of the people who are paying for the server it is hosted on.
They could shut it down if they wanted to and no one else would have his word to say about it.

I think HD summed it up pretty well.

I don't know yet if Slondermon will do a perfect job, but I'm convinced he won't do crap.
And if there are too many imperfections in his job, I'll demote him. I talked to him in private and he totally agrees with that.

Closed.

App looks good, good feedback.
Therefore...

#Accepted

Please read these threads:

- You've been accepted as Trusted player/Trial member - Read.
- 3xP' CoD4 server rules
- Premade kick/ban reasons

Once you've written on this topic that you've read and agreed with everything, I'll come in-game and set you.

Zitat von Amnesia

Up needs a fix or should be removed (kinda strange though because it used to work).

Why would you put it while I told you a few days ago in chatbox (after you asked me) that I thought it was the map who made the server crash
I even edited my first post with maps that surely makes the server crash

And yeah it used to work, though I uploaded the map you gave me and it erased the old one (I had checked for already uploaded maps to gain upload time but failed and uploaded it anyway >.<). I assume it's another version of the map, which isn't working...

If you put a map once, and it makes the server crash, don't try to put it again. And then you can search for another version of the same map if you want, so I can replace it and try again

Zitat von #removed

if even roots would deny a person... you must be brave to accept him.

Indeed, I am very brave :3

Zitat von #removed

well done ...

Thanks

Zitat von #removed

i agree, roots doesnt give a shit who applies aslong as the person is usefull,clean and mature.
in this case all 3 cases can be answered with NO ( my opinion, it is no insult ) ( just posting this extra tagged shit to make sure nobody makes random implies -_- )
i would have taken root's advice, but seems that facey got a better plan

Indeed, I always got the best plan
And the fact is that Skalli is talking about Slonder's behavior a year ago. And he is right about it, Slonder admitted it himself in his application, and I also remember him this way.
And a year ago, I would have instantly rejected this application for these reasons. But it's the past. As I said I believe people can change, and it's not by pulling them down that it's going to happen.
All of his posts show maturity IMO, and show he really changed.
Now there are 2 solutions:
1) He really changed and became a nice guy.
2) He just tried to look like a nice guy to be accepted.

In both cases I don't see a problem:
Case 1) Everything is fine, we have one more nice guy helping maintaining a good mood on the servers.
Case 2) He is an ass, we'll see it pretty quickly, and he'll be demoted. And even if he does shit before he is demoted, what's the worse that can happen? He'll tempban 10 people for 1 day? That won't be hard to undo. And I'm sure that won't happen. And if it does, it will be my problem to handle his shit, so that won't cause you guys a problem afaik

Basically, I'm giving him the chance to show he changed and can be helpful. I don't think anything horrible can happen.
But it looks like it bothers you anyway Wingz, for some reason

Zitat von N00bSlondermon

What is "root"?

Skalli's former name.

Zitat von N00bSlondermon

and just LOOK at my work when i am trusted, then you can hate my work and me.

Exactly And be sure I will if you do shit

If they keep doing it and you already warned them multiple times etc, you can tempban them for a day (1440 min) everytime they do it again.

@#removed It's very possible to give his opinion and insult at the same time, there's no contradiction in that. So yes by calling him a "fucking derp" he is giving his opinion, but he is also insulting.
And yes people are free to give their opinion, though you're very aware that there are rules and swearing is not much tolerated. There are always ways to express your opinion without insulting (otherwise it just means your vocabulary and your language in general is quite deficient).

Anyway.

All the posts in this topic proves IMO that Slondermon has changed and wishes to help.
I think everyone can evolve and should be given at least a 2nd chance to prove it, if he really shows he deserves it.
So...

#Accepted

Anyway if there is any problem, report of misbehavior, power abuse or anything, it's very easy to demote someone. I don't think we're taking a big risk by accepting him

@Slonder I'll come to set you when I see you're in-game, but feel free to remember me by PM or in TS3 if that takes too long

Hey Slondermon,

That's a nice app you wrote there.
I guess it shows that yes, you've changed.
Though when you say that everyone gets mad sometimes and no one can be perfect, just know that it won't excuse anything. You're not in a real-time argument as if you were IRL when you're talking on a server. Even if you get mad, you have all the time to THINK before you write anything to anyone. If you get mad and feel you're going to insult someone, then don't write anything and take the time to calm down before doing anything. You never have to insult anyone, especially when you are a trusted player, as you can warn players for bad behavior, and kick them if they keep going.

Before you get accepted, please read all these topics and tell me if you agree with eveything:
- You've been accepted as Trusted player/Trial member - Read.
- 3xP' CoD4 server rules
- Premade kick/ban reasons

Please use premade reasons as much as you can instead of random reasons.

Also as I know you a bit, I want to add that tolerance is important.
Example: If someone says one sentence in another language, just one, and then stops, there's no need to do anything IMO. Only if someone speaks several times in another language, or if some people begin a conversation in another language, then warn him/them, and if they keep going, kick.

Also basically, except for cheating, there's never a need to tempban directly. Always a warn or sometimes a kick first.

Okay now if you still want to be trusted after all I said and after you've read everything, just let me know on this topic

And what's yours, #removed?
I mean seriously, what is YOUR point? Don't tell me it's about some random tempban, you're really not the kind of person to defend some poor guy who just got banned. Usually you prefer to insult people who come make a ban appeal, and all of a sudden you make a ban appeal for someone who didn't even care to do it himself.

But if you want an answer to your wrong question, here it is:
shbc has been trusted player for over a year on our servers, and has played over 500 hours on our HC server. As far as I remember, it's the first time someone ever complained about him. Doesn't look too bad of a trusted player to me.
And if you want I can remind you of a ban appeal made by some guy that you banned, and you had no proof of his "cheat" because you didn't record. You still didn't hesitate to threaten him. And if someone dared to tell you you might be wrong, you'll never believe him anyway. What gives you the right to call into question other people's banning skills when you aren't even able to call yourself into question once in a while?
shbc's answer on this thread looks far better than all your answers when someone appealed one of your bans.
So what more do you want? I could write a bigger "book" about why this thread is complete garbage, but I don't think it's necessary.

Oh and btw, feel free to reply here just by saying "I didn't read your book it's all bs", everyone knows what it means.

Edit:
The part about you is just to show contradictions, to show that your ban appeal in the name of PC is just complete garbage and you actually don't give a fuck about it, the problem is somewhere else. If you have something to say, then say it.
I couldn't care less about what happened with ban appeals months ago.

Zitat von Sea Shepherd

Nice. Should we vote for which maps to keep/remove or how do we do this ?

I don't think having a lot of maps is a problem, as long as they aren't shitty
So I'll only remove some maps if you tell me they are too bad, or bugged, or containing big and too easily abusable bugs, or requiring over 190 speed,...

Done, closed.
