Topic: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

I did nothing wrong, but laugh in Broadcast and guess who bans me because another player made fun of Alumet, none other than alumet herself.  She admitted to not caring about faldon, and; that when she does care again she will start making a progressive approach to the game.  She should not have the power to IP Ban.  I did nothing wrong, the Words Hahaha, are not bannable goddamnit, and; I was wanting to actually play.  Zer, please, re-consider having this tard as a gm.  She logs on to do nothing but sit and monitor b chat, thats a Mod's job.  Thats all she is, demote her to Mod, spy replaced her and is doing a way better job than she ever did.

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

Before haha, I put something along the lines "YEA MAN IM ROLLIN HERE" just like that.  Rastlin another player said something funny and I laughed, and alumet shit her goddamn pants over me laughing and im still banned.  This is unnecessary.

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

Don't fuckin suck up to Zer ignite, you know damn well you and Rastlin always harass julie in broadcast when she says something.  If anyone at all says something to you about how you guys act you start being dickfaced and racist about everything..so keep crying but julie didn't abuse powers

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

Why is a Gm banning people for trash talking at all, regardless of whether or not you were calling him/her names?  If she just ignores that garbage, the trolls will get bored and stop doing it:  Crovax and I proved that pretty thoroughly back in the day.

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

Why is a GM NOT banning people for using racial slurs and w/e not? Thats the question here... If you as a GM ignored people using racials slurs, you have failed your job, and its good that your not around here anymore.

Actually, racial slurs were where we drew the line, although that only ever constituted a mute.

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

And what if it were non stop racials slurs, mute doesnt work at all, and you know it.

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

Explain to me how a muted player can use racial slurs?  Are they dropping items on the ground in the shape of letters?  Because the last time I checked, a man who can't talk, can't say racist things.

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

If they were doing it in s chat after being muted, we would warp them somewhere else, possibly jail.

The point I was trying to make, however, was that Gms should not use their power to place themselves above the other players, because it creates unnecessary tension.  Just because you are a Gm, doesn't mean you are immune from being insulted or badmouthed like any other player.  On the contrary, you probably need to be able to take MORE harassment.  Just brush it off and spend your time doing something useful instead of escalating the situation.

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

Still doesnt change the fact theyve been using racials slurs in Broadcast.. and sure you can ignore that, but they are still doing something that is NOT allowed. You cannot ignore that, as a GM.

See, but at the point where they're creating new accounts for the explicit purpose of harassing people, it becomes a different problem entirely - it stops being "bad language" and becomes account spamming.  And by that same logic, many players can circumvent an IP ban as well.

There were a few times early on as a Gm that players were intent on making a scene and trying to get under my skin.  There are ways to handle even the most obnoxious players, though.  If you'd like, I can explain to you some of the techniques I used.

I agree.  The moment they started throwing racial slurs around, they should have been muted immediately.  However laughing at someone else making fun of a Gm is not grounds for any punishment at all, let alone a ban.

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

IP Ban doesn't work either, restart the router and your good to go.. Now I want you to go to this topic. Cuz i posted an idea on it there.

That depends on your ISP, not all of them assign IP addresses dynamically, some are static.

Also, we shouldn't forget that Ignite has a history of being very abusive in chat. I don't see a problem with treating repeat offenders differently than others and punishing them more severely.

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

Then still you got programs to change the IP it sends and whatnot, bottom line: IP Ban is a useless tool.

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

At most you could use a proxy if anyone (besides me) wrote one, you can't edit your external IP, and even if you did then packets would be sent to the wrong place. IP ban is effective enough for most people. I guess if you want to there's always a way around it, but it would take time, time people usually don't want to invest only to get IP banned again =p

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

That particular night, Rastlin was goin off on Alumet, which was pretty funny being as she is such an emotionally unstable whale, anyways; whenever Alumet first logs on ill kid around and say 'Alumet log off' she seriously takes this as if im trying to commit a felony or something.  Ill admit in the past  I have used many profanities, but there was a chat filter.  Oh, and Oreo, you say bullshit all the time so why do you try to make it look I am the only one?  Heres an easy fix, demote alumet back to moderator since thats all she fucking does anyways, and; bring back Bill as a gm if possible, to fill her position.  An ip ban for 12 hours for doing nothing more than laughing at another players comment is bullshit.

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

Haha u seriously Think Bill would mod chat better? That guy goes mad with powers

23

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

i actually have the whole thing sshotted... alumet was in line with booting rastlin... but not ignite... he literally only laughs
... if u need proof i have it

24

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

She does go overboard with the whole Gm power and eggs people on with doing stuff so she can mute them etc..

25

Re: Alumet and her Power Abuse.

BTW half of u guys got off the subject... the point iggy's trying to make is...    GM's should not be able to boot or ip ban (especially a paying player) for stating their own opinions about said GM... If julie doesn't like what ppl say she can simply ignore them. .. racial slurs get muted that's well known and understandable... no one should get banned or kicked for that shit... fact of the matter, julie kicked and ip banned rastlin and ignite cause she did not like what rastlin was saying to her directly and iggy was laughing.  It became personal... and for someone who dosen't hide the fact that they do not care about the game should for one not be a GM and two they shouldn't even care what ppl think or say about them.   Be a professional, your not a player anymore u shouldn't be acting like one.
