Delayed announcement regarding GMs/Mods

[Lixil 3524]

Hey guys,

 

I was planning to make an announcement regarding GM/Mods this week. However, I want to point out that I had to spend a lot of time today on managing users who are unable to follow ToS and our guidelines. Unfortunately, this takes up time I could be using to design the upcoming program for volunteer Moderators and GMs.

 

My goal as a Community Manager is to communicate with all of you as much as possible. Right now, I'm communicating that persistent poor behavior amongst forum users slows down the process of announcing really fun and great things that I want to bring to this community. Even our ability to properly set off events in-game is affected by our constant need to monitor and supervise behavior that is quite frankly toxic.

 

These are the behaviors that are currently distracting me and my team and pulling us away from forward movement:

• Insulting other players or group of players
• Racism
• Naming/Shaming
• Spamming
• Pornographic images
• Posting support replies/Private messages from other players

 

 

Regarding support tickets, this will take time. There are a LOT, and I mean a LOT, of support tickets right now that we are in the process of resolving - all varying from simple to incredibly complex. I understand that all of you want your tickets resolved yesterday, but we are asking for everyone to be patient and to just chill out so we can focus on resolving them asap.

 

Thanks everyone for reading this,

Lixil

what exactly is this?

[Aeronaut 647]

wait what is movieographic images

 

edit: wait do you guys still utilize the word filter replacer? i remember when they had replaced "truth" with "opinion".

 

along with a lot of unnecessary ones. 

 

also, i think the original word is suppose to rhyme with borno.

I think it's imagery containing explicit and intense violence (decapitations or similar things).

That's fine, I am senile if I am bothering you just tell me to shut up. I'm sorry.

[KNickz 46]

are we still going to have modsquad or are we actually going to see use of the Forum Mod title in game

[TehBlizzy 23]

I'm sorry that an large amount of users don't know how to follow basic forum etiquette, though unfortunately that's become sort of a standard over the years.

This community is like crabs in a bucket.

[Kommaranda 44]

How can i become a GM?

I will stop trolling (the few times i do), and hold the fight clubs clear from blatants.

I am putting my account on the line if i abuse my powers once you can insta ban me!

I'm 99% sure you're a troll, or a dunce. Take a break from the internet, you're meme'ing us too hard.

to be honest nobody seems to like you either, lixil's job is not to please you at your request, lixil's job is to manage this community entirely, you could stop with your cynical behavior

I understand where you are coming from and I'm sure a long day of policing these forums could test anyone's patience but this kind of seems like we're being punished for toxic people being idiots.  When there is no game to play, more people sh!t up the forums and unfortunately there is pretty much no APB Reloaded right now during this rebuilding phase while we wait on you guys to sort out the mess you bought.  Hang tough, once you guys deliver on all the stuff you have planned the forums will cease to exist for most players.

I like Lilixil. She is gud.

Lixil's job is to keep the community clean, respectful and on the right track. This job is already hard enough, considering the situation of the community. People like you are not making it any easier. So please do us all a favor and keep these thoughts to yourself and instead bring positivism to the community.

So basicly mini GMs yaaaay! :3

GMs wont have ban powers anyways, no need to put your account on the line

Nah, isn't useless. Mate, you'll just be the higher voice on the crowd with ADM powers. Easy to be heard. And of course, you'll help lots of players.

The forums havent been enforced in a long time. So people forgot that image/gif only replies arent allowed, gif sigs arent allowed and acting like idiots isnt allowed either. I think it will take a little bit of time to get everyone in order. 

[Excalibur! 207]

Let APB (the game we love) out of your crazy reach. STOP.

Talk to Matt about adding a new cm, you can't handle this and i know it.

 

And will you let only the messages like "i didnt like you since the start" to victimize yourself? I am screening every single post, even the ones that you consider insults.
