While it's great to see Members taking an active interest in supporting the Servers by catching rule breakers I do have to agree with what has been said in this thread. First off, it is incredibly unfair and disrespectful to continuously berate and insult the current Staff of the CS:GO Division in the manner of which you are exhibiting, especially provided that you have been consistently doing so for the past week or so and that you are in turn applying to be a Staff member. It's understandable that you may be upset with their activity, but as a reminder, people do have lives and people do have certain obligations to other things. As previously mentioned, this isn't a full-time job. They aren't being paid to do this, and by no means should they feel obligated to be on 24/7. For reasons such as this, it's why more Staff are being recruited but it does take time to select appropriate candidates. That being said, they cannot dish out punishments against rulebreakers for anything they did not personally witness, which brings me to my next point. If a Ban Request is going to be submitted, then it should include evidence that is either in the form of a screenshot or demo (depending on the severity of the rules being broken). You of all people should know that Xeno Gamers (those representing it) prides itself in being unbiased when dealing with rule breakers. Regardless of how many people "saw" it happen, our Staff cannot act on it without physical evidence, otherwise this opens up a case-by-case jurisdiction system that we do not need to be put in place (when dealing with mass freekillers and the like). The only exception to this is if a Staff member personally witnesses the perpetrator breaking rules. This isn't a case of trust, it's a case of what's fair and just. To conclude, the last thing I wanted to bring up, while irrelevant, is your attitude. I get that you want to see Xeno Gamers' Servers thrive and to punish rule breakers where necessary, but being at the throat of our Staff as well as replying in such a hostile tone such is the case with the following (highlighted in red): demonstrates that you aren't as co-operative as you could be, nor does it demonstrate that you are capable of replying in a calm or collected tone. I strongly suggest a change in this general attitude, because it really is starting to look like it's getting out of hand. To clarify, I personally have nothing against you, these are just things I've noticed as of recent and I thought it would be best to mention them. It's not my intention to start an argument or anything of the sort, and if there's anything that needs to be discussed feel free to message me at any time. -1 to the thread at hand due to a lack of evidence (as well as the request to have the thread closed from Narwhal himself) ~Closing with my British CL Powers.

-The Rule Change- Recently, Valve has made a few changes to the Advanced Options menu in TF2. One of the big changes they implemented was bringing over a feature from CS:GO. The option is under "HUD Options" and is entitled "Enable Mouse Input on the Scoreboard". Checking this setting allows you to hover your mouse over the names of other players when in the scoreboard (Holding TAB by default) and right-click them to quickly access their profile, trade window, mute, and other things as well. Because of these recent changes, I have discussed this with other CLs and some of the higher-up TF2 staff, and we have concluded that it is time to remove the rule that requires players to have a minimum of three consecutive typable characters in their in-game names. Previously, we had this rule in place for targetting reasons, meaning that it was difficult for our staff to target trouble-makers who had complicated names. They would have to resort to using the /admin menu, which is very time consuming and tedious when dealing with an immediate issue. However, now that isn't the case. In the event of a trouble-maker who has a complex name, it's as simple as holding TAB, right-clicking the individual's name, and opening their Steam Profile. Once it opens up, you can simply copy/paste their name from their Steam page. Pasting it into your commands will work just as if you typed the name out. Because of this, we feel that the name rule is now obsolete and unnecessary. It was originally put in place to counteract having to take time-consuming measures in order to deal with rule-breakers. -What This Means For You- If you are a Staff Member, all this means is that we are no longer enforcing the old name rule. You no longer have to make people change their names or add three typable characters if they are composed entirely of untypable characters. As soon as you can, please open up your Advanced Options in TF2 and check the box next to "Enable Mouse Input on the Scoreboard" underneath "HUD Options" if you haven't already. If for whatever reason you are still finding it difficult to copy and paste the user's name, please resort to using the /admin command to slay/kick/ban/gag/mute the target. If you are a regular to our servers, this simply means you now have the leeway to diversify your in-game name with special characters. Go crazy! (You still must be a member to wear the [xG] tags. That hasn't changed.) By the time this post goes live, all of the Rules Guides and MOTDs should be updated to reflect this change. Thanks again, and let me know if there are any problems.

Just to see if xG can rhyme. In this thread, autism will occur.

Me llamo T-Bone La araña discoteca. Discoteca, muñeca, La biblioteca es en bigote grande, perro, manteca. if you understand what this is referencing i am very proud of you

It's alright, just deal with your stress properly, try to relax. If csgo creates more of that stress, just take a short break, recollect youself, then play again. Hope you get through all this.

Great, I smell it too; it's kind of concerning. Though I think the problem can be remedied with a nice drink.

A 265th post is no reason to boast. I recommend retrying this game.

At the current time of posting, this change is for TF2 only. If the CS:GO division would also like to implement this rule, we can move it to xG News. ^-^

Well I guess that is something you can infer But I am pretty sure this wont last long

March 17 -> March 24... totally 30 days. Please follow the instructions, apply again 30 days from now, April 24th. Closing.

this, i am not religious but if someone is in the hospital or going through hard times i say Im praying for you because it is the nice thing to say. shows that they are in your thoughts

Praying for people spending their time in this thread.

You were banned by Bess way back in CS:S for reason other, at the time Ban disconnected player Other was the only option really there for mass freekill and leave meaning you have been a CT on our jailbreak server, freekilled 3 or more people, and immediately left the server. @Stickz if you would like to unban him by all means its up to you, this is the only ban on record for him. @Rhombi please keep in mind that second chances are just that and dont come lightly in that if you are permanently banned again, don't expect another protest to go so well. link to ban: Xeno Gamers

my computer is ahead one day

Staff are required to be active, but even if we COULD be on 24/7, we wouldn't be. Moderating is a volunteer position, we don't get paid to do this. It's basically working at a day care, minus the pay, and the kids are behind a computer screen so they don't worry about consequences for doing dumb shite. I don't ENJOY moderating, but I do what i can to help the server, and if the time me and other staff try to get on isn't enough, then let's just remove all the staff and let the servers run wild, because that's what people make it seem like, that we intentionally do nothing. I do think we should promote more of the active people, but there aren't enough capable people(thought there are some), tbh. Give it time, people will be promoted.

I don't doubt that people use it sarcastically or with a some-what hostile intention, but I actually was referring to its use when people are being genuine and sincere with it in a meaningful way. It's a well-known and often used phrase that [i'll agree] has sort of lost its translation in this day and age, but I don't think that it should be treated in a negative aspect, even if the one receiving the "prayers" is agnostic/atheist/etc. When someone typically says it during times of struggle or what have you, it's meant to be taken in an empathetic way. Sure, a lot of people will argue "what can I do with your 'prayers'?" but it's the thought that counts, right? At the same time it's near impossible to determine who is being genuine about it or not, and I can see what Scootaloo is getting at. For instance, a large amount of people who say these sort of things outright on say, FaceBook or Twitter are typically just trying to gain a positive image. While this may be the case for the majority, it by no means suggests that everyone is doing it for that purpose. Think of it this way: they may just be "giving out prayers" for the less fortunate as a way to boost their public status, but at least they're raising awareness in regards to it. All I'm trying to get at here is that it's just a phrase, albeit one that has lost its translation but is still a general phrase that [nowadays] means "I'm hoping for the best for you".

EDIT: PEOPLE 2FAST I don't speak Spanish, but I heard the word "mesa." Does anyone have a dictionary they could loan? EDIT AGAIN:HERES THE OLD ONE It smells like car exhaust, from what I observe. I just realized the syllable count was off (fucking slow ass fingers >:c)

you guys are all just a bunch of pervs. ¿Donde está la biblioteca? *have fun

Be like Moosty. He plays everything on 10$ insignia keyboards from best buy because he usually spills on a keyboard atleast once a month. I'll literally buy them 4 at a time off of amazon so I can get free shipping.

the fact that there is now an "add friend" "open profile" and "trade" option with tab also makes tf2 500% easier to use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgz--8xiT1M thankes gaben
