Qeight

Welcome back ^^

Not going to happen. I will close this suggestion and right of the bat deny this as this is something we will never do.

Open Recruitment with applications or selected invites (like I was invited to staff) They will go through a workshop where we filter out people that don't really fit, we do a few tasks but nothing we can actually disclose to the public. After that and to answer your next question we decide in what roles they fit in, sometimes staff switch role because they are not happy with it or because they simply don't fit in. Let's take me as example, I was supposed to be a CC, Fluffles wanted to be a Tmod and became a CC and Logan switched from Mod to Tmod later on. The applicants might not know where they fit but if they have strong attributes in some categories we will know where to fit them. I don't quite get that question, like if we actually talked to the applicants? Your past will be a huge factor when accepting or declining staff. Your past 100% reflects back on you but I am a perfect example on how many "infractions" you can actually have and still be staff. It's all about other factors as long as you are honest.

Yes

That's fine, if you have to go against the same guy every single time for 5 matches then it obviously becomes apparent.

This issue has been addressed now, thanks :)

Thanks for creating this guide, stickied it for more visibility. :)

Is allowed

Welcome!

Welcome back :)

It's literally out of my hands, the reset is not decided by me nor can I actually do it. It is decided by Dev availability and nothing else.

THere will be two tournaments but one discord server

Its on PRO and everyone who meets the requirements ( a full team of level100 )

Please stop swearing, there is no need for that. The date can't be announced because it requires the Dev and their availability is not always guaranteed.

The time was announced on our Discord actually half a day before that. A fixed date is sadly not possible.

The results taken were taken seconds before the ladder was reset, whilst the servers were offline. If you used a Discord bot, or gathered your own screenshots earlier than us, your results may be inaccurate. If you are or aren't on the ladder when you think you should/n't be, please contact me via PMs. Please note that users with the exact same rating may switched positions during the reward process, we have no influence over that. If the results are slightly incorrect, the correct users would have still been rewarded. This is due to the server automatically rewarding the top 25. Special thanks again to everyone that participated this season and those who bring a healthy competitive environment!

It's not a sudden process, I have been working towards an open and more transparent staff team since I was made a staff. The current team leaders (Shinohara, Logan and me) have similar opinions and visions for the future which does not include anything that past staff did. We want to see improvements with the moderation aspect, how the community receives it. There is no way we will achieve 100% happiness or approval rate but we want to change what we don't see but players see. If we wanted to publicity stunts we certainly wouldn't do it with such a touchy subject. A bit to my backstory so you might understand it better, my playeraccount is PreHax. I know what it feels like getting hate from staff, being treated unfairly and with bias. I also know that reaching out to players in a meaningful way can improve relationships. I also know that someone who absolutely hated staff can become staff. I am a very critical person, especially of things I don't approve of however with time comes experience. Lashing out, being disrespectful, making snarky and sarcastic comments are just not helpful at all, literally they are doing the opposite regardless of what you want. If you want actual change please propose ideas, give actual feedback on why something is bad and not flat out say its bad. I was very anti-staff, when I was made staff we still had staff members who were against me and didn't think I would last long. If there is one thing I want you to take away from this is that the past can stay in the past, we want to focus on the future. I can't ask you to trust staff blindly, what I can ask you though is to give us another chance, the current team, the current leaders and admins. We didn't have anything to do with past mistakes, we didn't create past rules or did past actions. We are here to improve the game in a way our community can appreciate it. I am confused about this one, are you talking about the ratings in battle chat thing? This has been removed for weeks already as it was obviously not working. There haven't been any "new" all chat rules, what are you referring to?

I will be completely honest with you, speaking from actual experience of receiving staff hate and being banned for 8 months, I can assure you with 100% certainty that if you actually attempted to be constructive with actual feedback instead of calling everything corrupt, we would be very inclined to listen to you. I was a very vocal player, I am a very vocal staff, with players as well as with everyone within staff. I don't shy back to argue even ifs not the most appropriate time or most respectful manner if I believe something is wrong I will call it by name. What I gather a lot from posts here are non concrete feedback from stuff that happened way in the past that could be easily explained. Sadly while this may sound rude, a lot of players are not telling the full truth of what actually happened, they may not know or don't remember but often times, more than I would like to admit they simply lie. They didn't do X when there is literaly proof of them doing it X. Its something I was talking to Samurai about, you might not got the full scope of everything that happened but I received a lot of hate from players for banning their friends when there was nothing wrong about it. I will give you an example, I received tons of hate for banning a known booster who played hundreds of matches against their alternative account, the evidence is there and accessible for everyone in the moderation team. The ban was 100% accurate yet it was said that "Qeight was abusive, abuses his powers" and such, while we will never be able to prevent that we can make sure that everyone gets a fair explanation if possible. I spent lengthy amounts of times reviewing old cases, unbanning players, overruling old staff decisions because I believed in something, I still believe that no player should be abused by staff nor should they fear to speak out in what they believe. This obviously has to be done in a respectful and constructive manner, e.g what you wrote earlier is the perfect example of what we do not need. We want your feedback, that's why we made the thread but what we will not be willing to do is listen to how corrupt we are when we never hear examples. I hear a lot of times that I am abusive, ban without evidence, hold grudges against players and such things, this is obviously not the reality. I understand that "trust" in staff is at a low point, hell I wouldn't trust staff if I were still player given my experience I had with staff. If there is any light at the end of the dark tunnel, then it would be me. As I said, I know what corrupt staff and bias staff look like and how they can hurt you. Nobody in their right mind would think I would support that. Do we make mistakes? Yes. Do I make mistakes? Yes. Do we see every mistake? No. We are all also just humans who do this stuff in our free time, we are not perfect but we are trying and reaching out to you guys.

Your example is contradicting. "One player could have fail, 2 players in less than 5 minutes is probably an infraction.", what if the second player is also a fail and the third and the fourth? At what stage does it classify as an infraction in your eyes? It's out of question that the rule already has been broken but at what point do you want to be warned? Moderation staff are trained to give adequate and time sensitive warnings. If there was a warning 20 minutes ago you won't be muted. If there was a warning 2 minutes ago you will be muted. If the warning was in All Chat (lets say a warning for swearing), and you swear in Help Chat, you will be warned. The warnings don't carry over per chat. You have to go deeper into that please. Users' have to break the rules FOUR times in order to get quiet-banned. This is already in one session. Your mutes don't carry over from yesterday, so in a sense they reset. "Spamming" "swearing" "double posting", are common reasons used when muting. Can you give examples here. Why would you appeal a 60 second mute? The channel was moderated because it was announced in French chat, share it around in private and we won't moderate it. I agree though, a channel with password and the old functions would be really cool. I am not sure if they were removed or why they were removed really. I liked them a lot. In over 3 years a lot has happened, the current staff team is way more lax than it was back then. The language chats sadly are a toxic place, they weren't moderated a whole lot in the past, people ignoring them and such. If there are staff members who can speak the language they should moderate them. What aspect is too harsh? Botting, RMT, Cheaters getting a permanent ban? This is common and standard in every game.
