Answering questions for new people is not going to help the fact this game needs desperately some in-game moderation. I have been proposing an expansion of the SPCA or SPCI or w/e program so they can KICK players for being complete scumbags, griefing to point of harassment, disrupting gameplay, flag suspicious players for investigation into hacks/cheats, etc.

Just answering questions is not anywhere near the degree of assistance this game needs.

SPCA/I/T programs are made out of players who volunteer their time.
APB playerbase is extremely immature, only an extremely small amount are capable of proper control.
Giving players power over others without insanely large amounts of time in any current program and failing to gather a knowledge of that player's stability is a bad idea.

In time this would work, maybe, but I think having power should be kept from the SPCA/I/T team for a bit longer.

Then they need to invest in company paid moderators to be on the servers and intervene as needed. As you noted:

"APB playerbase is extremely immature, only an extremely small amount are capable of proper control."

Game is out of control. Griefers, harassers, frequent ghosters/cheaters drive the weaker players out of the game causing a steady decline and attrition of the population. Game would be improved a hundred-fold and attract and retain newer players a hundred-fold if it simply had a little bit of MODERATION.

I'd rather not start a debate with you over this thread, so I will stick to the following:

Your points noted. I do believe that is true, but I also have seen a few good moves towards your idea with this most recent expansion. HOWEVAH, it's not time to give them power to distribute punishment, imo. Feel free to pm me if you wish to continue

I'm not debating. I agreeing. I concede that players moderating players would be a biased trip to hell. I'm adding that company MODERATION (not player volunteers but a few paid slots) should be the first and primary focus of the devs for the salvation of this game and playerbase... if they really want to attract and keep paying subs and such.

I already said, whispering them should be disabled, so they don't get bugged to death. Dealing with hackers should be a secondary thing if they themselves happen to witness suspicious activity... but we need to have at least 1 active impartial mod (non-volunteer) per server to float around different districts and troubleshoot when things are really going sour, just by listening to the chat.

You can hear straight up when several people are crying about a griefer or TKer. Investigating problems and keeping the game going smoothly by giving warnings, time outs (short-term kicks for 15-30 mins) or even temp bans would go such a LONG WAY to making this game actually be fun.

SPCA works alongside the GM team in trying to help some of the above issues. To help reduce the levels of Spammers, Griefers, AFK'rs and other problem people, we have a direct root to GM's to help get them dealt with ASAP. That is as far as it goes.

The 3 top people in SPCI/SPCA are allowed to give Warnings, but proof must always be recorded and sent in to the GM team with these warnings details. This is always done and we have clear guidelines on what the warnings are to be given for.

It is not our intent to give any GM powers to the SPCA team.

I want to make that clear now.
