Volunteer GMs now issuing bans???

Recommended Posts

There's a rumor going around that some genius decided to let player volunteer GMs start banning other players. 

 

Please tell me this isn't true.

these are anonymous gms?

if there are, they don't do anything at all, every time i am on, i face cheaters, i do report them but that's also a place holder as it does nothing , its sad, little orbit is loosing / lost this game to the cheaters

and if you do complain , someone will come and say "i don't see cheaters your just bad" its amazing how someone can get 30kills when the rest of their team can only get 5 and people go "he not cheat dur dur" they also get all the way to 255, sad, very sad

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?

I dont think it can be called a rumor if there is proof.

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.

Show the proof, don't make it so long, just post it, or you are worried about something? 😸

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.

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.

i do not know about the current rumor , but a few months ago i heard one like this and then we had a ban wave.

i do not know however if those two were related to begin with but MattScott did make a public statement back then.

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.

Just some blokes, yes.

Well, taking that reply at face value, why are you listening to shit complete randomers come out with? 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.

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.

Lmfao, I wish it was a 50/50 chance.

Can hardly blame me if folks get upset at letting players ban other players.

I doubt anyone, myself included, cares about getting your attention.

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.

Seems like the only difference between LO and G1 at this point is that LO makes exceptions for more likeable people I guess

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?

Well this is awkward. 

 

I have Lixil blocked on discord. 

 

Anyways, go ahead and lock this thread up Flight.
