    Hello Xeno Gamers!

     

    Haha April 20th am I right fellas?

    What's New This Month?

    • The Official Noob Guide is out. The Official Noob Guide! If there's anything you feel is important to add, please comment on the guide and I'll make the changes! Anyone who is new to the forums will hopefully see this now before doing anything else.
    • Badges are now out on users. Refer to this guide Badges if you want to know what is available. (Will be finished within 2 days as the badges interface got fixed less than a day ago) If you have any suggestions, please post here Badges Megathread!.
    • For Staff: "Unless a Player is explicitly affecting the Servers (or is otherwise harassing a Player on our Servers) then there is no reason to ban a Player for their actions outside of the Servers. In other words, in order for a Player to be punished, they have to be affecting the Server as a whole, or, and this is a big 'or', they have to be a danger (IE. [verbal] harassment, threats, etc) to any of the Players in the Server (including Staff). Anything above or beyond this is an abuse of power from the Staff (depending on the situation)." Quoted from @Forest, we discussed as higher-ups that this is in fact the best course of action. This debate was sparked due to a ban last week so this should hopefully clear things up, and if you have any questions as moderators/admins, do not be afraid to ask the higher-ups on clarification.
    • TF2 Staff can now choose to use staff titles or tags in servers, instead of just the steam tags that we've done since the beginning of time. This is subject to change at a later time, but for now the division managers and leaders agreed that as long as it's not confusing they have 0 issues with you guys using the staff-specific titles on our servers.

    What's Coming Up Soon?

    • Revamping CS:GO, Minecraft, GMOD will begin May, school will be finished for many of us so expect a ton of events, badges, credits and giveaways within the next month to help repopulate our servers and prepare for the long awaited summer! Minecraft specifically is being looked at right now, as we have a few members interested in helping run the division, and we will make sure to choose the best course of action to keep the community happy. @SuperMaddud said he will be back in a few weeks so we will talk to him as well and then go from there.
    • Youtube will be started earliest May or latest June, so if you're someone who thinks you have good content for xG's official youtube channel, be sure to prepare your stuff and message me when the time is ready!

    Solid update, now to find ways to make my name/title combo work as a sentence.

     

    Server Moderator in the sheets, Moosty on the streets?

     

    Nah too long, but I'll find a good one.

    Does this mean that staff members aren't required to wear tags as long as they use the Server Mod/Server Admin titles on the servers?

    Just a thought: whenever an update is published here on the Forums, maybe one should be Announced via the Xeno Gamers Steam Group? Not as in depth, just like a short bulleted list of updates and a link to the thread or something. Ensures deeper saturation and it might encourage more Players to apply, especially with the latest Member Submission(s) update.

    My only concern about the tag thing is finding the staff in the friends list if needed. And name changes are common amongst a minor chunk of staff.

     

    Other than that; good choice

    You can add your own tags to your steam friends. If you feel that you're going to have a difficult time finding them, click the drop down arrow next to their name and click "Tag as..." to tag them.

    Oooo! Patriot got in trouble (͡• ͜໒ ͡• )

     

    Jokes aside, glad to see a badges guide coming out, would help clear up a bunch of things.

     

    I know every staff member is glad to be allowed to remove tags from their name if they want.

     

    Yeah, some of the other servers really need help. Hopefully the community can pitch in some work if possible?

    Might make the process go faster.
