Is this something that came from some sort half believable source, or just something that someone came out with in District chat with literally no backup at all?

MACKxBOLAN 428 Posted July 6, 2019 when they got me on that Temp 24hr, for Hate speech. A player complained to a gm in pm. The Gm then turned over the concern to Matt. And He reviewed it and made the decision. and I support his decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am worried LO is letting players ban other players anonymously. Sadly I don't even get hackusated, so I think I'm safe regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alright, i understand what you talking about, but (i repeat), where is the proof of that happening? You can't be worried for something if that don't exist.

MrChan 337 Posted July 6, 2019 12 minutes ago, CookiePuss said: I dont think it can be called a rumor if there is proof. Maybe I should ask a different question then: Is your source dependable, or is it just some bloke trying to stir the shit? @MackxBolan, what you described though is not a volunteer GM issuing a ban. It's a volunteer GM elevating a complaint to an appropriate individual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're smarter than that. Of course, that is assuming face value for the reply. For some reason, I'm inclined to think the 'some blokes' are blokes you know and put more value on what they say, than what x420noscope69x says in District chat. Why you wouldn't just say "yeah, the person who told me normally doesn't tell fibs" is beyond me. It's not like I'm asking you to ID the person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiskeyTangoFoxX 280 Posted July 6, 2019 15 minutes ago, CookiePuss said: Just some blokes, yes. So instead of asking official sources directly, you instead make a stink about it on the forums where you have maybe a 50/50 chance of getting an answer and a 100% chance of causing a scene. You should know better than this by now, unless you really are just doing it for the attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt anyone, myself included, cares about getting your attention. 49 minutes ago, MrChan said: For some reason, I'm inclined to think the 'some blokes' are blokes you know and put more value on what they say The rumor came from players I do not know, and whom do not know each other. Just curious if yet another bad decision has been made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nitronik 348 Posted July 6, 2019 Seems like the only difference between LO and G1 at this point is that LO makes exceptions for more likeable people I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gordIsMyName 104 Posted July 6, 2019 this is indeed interesting... "with great power comes great responsibility" i agree that giving the ban hammer out to "players policing players" is a questionable solution. neutrality would be a really tough thing to keep in check. feels like the community has a view of GM's as powerless, meaningless beings. that has also been my experience in dealing with them in the past. another layer of hoops to jump through for help that do not provide any real actionable response. i may be a tad out of step with things, but without some form of 'teeth', why is LO investing time even using them?
