Good day, First of all I want to thank the people involved in opening this topic for discussion. I think it’s really important to see what the general player base has to say for feedback on how to improve this game in every aspect possible, to make it more enjoyable for everyone and just generally keep the community involved in decision making as well. After all, it is a fan-made game and keeping the fans’ ideas/concerns in high regard can really make things better from my point of view. We’re all here because we love Pokémon in the end. I feel like some of my main concerns have already been mentioned briefly so I’d like to elaborate them with a bit more depth and help explain things that go through our minds as regular players, bear with me. ^^ Felix, you’ve mentioned that moderators are not there to socialize with players in game and are only there to moderate. I feel like there’d be a lot more benefit if the community felt the staff’s presence in ways other than just punishment. Like for me personally, for a good long year of playing the game I never really saw moderators as actual people. Just the approach and way of speaking seems very unauthentic and robotic to say the very least which makes the players feel really distant. I think that’s one aspect that can really be approved. You can still be “professional” but still have some sort of affection and personality displayed at the same time. -With regards to the report system: I’m talking only from personal experience. I’ve sent in a trade report not too long ago (last Monday to be specific). I hadn’t received a reply for a few days and decided to “bump” my report and only then did I receive a reply. Not only that but the reply just seemed so completely vague, unhelpful, poorly written and -if we’re going a little overboard- triggered my "OCD" because of the poor punctuation. It just seemed like a typical “copy-paste” delayed response that if I was still a new player sending this report in, would likely encourage me not to use the report system again because we all really know how much of a hassle it is to take multiple screenshots to support your case and upload them onto the forums only to get that response. When we’re reporting something, we need to stop everything we’re doing and just focus our attention on that in hopes that we’re helping the game in any way possible. We sort of expect the same from you in return. I want to make it clear that this is not in any way meant to offend anyone because it’s not specific to last week’s incident, and I truly do understand that staff are all “volunteers” and work in their own pace/ time, but once it gets to a point where I need to bump a report that takes no less than 20 minutes of my time to send in only to get a careless response, then this is what goes through my mind and many others must feel the same: “You’re here to volunteer but you can’t make the time to look into a basic report and put in as much concern as the person sending it in has?” (This also ties to my other point as well, about being professional yet displaying some sort of human personality.) There really needs to be a competence level each staff member should meet and specific standards to be met at all times, if you’re having trouble keeping up with all this volunteering business then step down and get someone who is actually interested in helping the game and making the time for it and its players. This should apply to everyone equally. Please, don’t just be a color on the forums. This is all from a player’s perspective and this affects me as a player. We need you guys to keep this game running well! I won’t go into full details about unjust bans and punishments to be honest. I’ve been quite vocal in my appeal which I’m sure you’ve all read and I’m fed up with the topic. I just have a few suggestions that I hope might be looked into: I want to suggest that there be a part of the staff “a council or committee” specifically there to look into appeals and especially appeals of higher grade punishments such as bans just to have a third party’s unbiased perspective. I understand it’s probably protocol for the person who issued the punishment to look into the appeal but it becomes unsaid that each person will always be inclined to think they’re in the right and therefore, inclined to believe their judgment is the correct one. It’s just basic psychology. I have to agree with @Nixs about the whole evidence issue, it really makes it hard to defend yourself when you don’t exactly know the context or evidence used against you in the report. I’ve been in situations where I didn’t even remember half the things I was told. You should be able to properly defend yourself for what you’ve done. Another thing I’ve noticed is that punishments have been being issued first and investigations are conducted afterwards to see whether the punishment is right or not. “Punch First, Ask Questions While Punching” it just really doesn’t make sense at all to me. (And yes that was a LoL reference, I thought it fit quite well ^^). Last but not least and I think it might be a long shot since I have no clue about the coding involved, but I really wish I could just right click a player and select “report” :L ~Again thank you for taking the time to look into our concerns. A lot of players much like me really appreciate it and some of the recent changes have been wonderful, particularly the new auction rules/guide. Keep up the good work and stay positive. ^^ Yours truly, XanthinaRose.
