Anarchy in survival - WTF

Your solution is for staff members to give up their time for other more important things in their life and to instead stand around in Survival? How is that the obvious solution? That’s not a solution.

I also agree that breaking more important irl things for gaming is not good and enforcing that is not OK.

I knew and understood that when trying to get approval for my first zombies map by Tru3thful to whom I had an 8 hour difference. I was patiently waiting the weekends and also asking if that would be possible to test when I am not there. Also I understood that the map test times were for Geolindrag at 2 or 10 AM and they could not get there.

There can happen anything irl that turns around the schedule, e. g. doctor appointments, emergencies, sudden cancelling/adding of school/uni lessons/work hours. For example, on a Thursday I am ingame mostly at 7-9 PM UTC and on Phase most often at 6 AM UTC, sometimes in the school breaks. But if a lesson cancels it can change because I am not a bot. The only ‘mod’ that can be on 24/7 is the system banning people who try to enter an IP.

I find that that is good that no one can expect me to drop irl activities for a zombie map test, pvp contest etc. pp. and that is one of the signs of a good server.

Staff are simply people proven themselves to be capable of taking on the responsibility of making serious decisions about who should be banned. It’s not a business and people don’t get paid to be here.

This I learned in September where I tried to enforce “no spam, no caps, …”.Glasia violating Community #4), I don’t want to be too arrogant here, as that that is a negative thing I experienced.

I think the anti cheat / Survival True SSC system was created in August because of many reports of game-breaking item hacks.

@NateTheGameK

You aren’t treating staff like people who have their own work in their own lives. You arent treating staff like players who were also once like you.

This phrase is for people who have too little patience for waiting for ban appeals been looked at, or password resets.

Progression is being broken regularly and staffers are ignoring it, because they can’t really enforce the rules, or there isn’t a coding solution, or they’re too busy with other things to care enough. I do love this server and I’m not trying to be pissy and smear it, but it’s gotten so ridiculous I don’t want to play anymore.

I agree with Russ - the main solution to this is to have more staff. The Penguin Games server has three or four times the number of staff DG has, (and to be honest, a lot of their staff are also inactive/aren’t fanatics) but they still constantly cycle through staff, with people joining and leaving practically every month. I actually applied for staff myself, but I don’t think I deserve to hold it anymore since I haven’t been helping others a lot and I became much more inactive. I think the main thing here is a hacker(or exploit abuser) problem, not solely the fault of the staff.
