What? It's our fault if someone abuses the plugin that literally warns them that they're going to get banned if they abuse it? By that logic we should just permanently silence everyone cause it's our fault for letting them say anything and possibly break a rule in the first place. I'm sorry but that logic is just dumb

...You do realize what you do on the servers dictates weather you get member or not. Lol "why are you bringing stuff from the servers onto the forums". I've been watching you on the servers man, you're not ready. I'll change my couch when I see when you are. Don't have to get all defensive about it.

lmao when Tails would have 1 on 1 speaking lessons with you on surf and me giving you english tongue twisters

Same dude.. Same... I´m only have One year speaking english. It was extrenly hard for me ...probably cause i have an Abstract mind :confused:.... I was close to leave it .. But...When i joined At [Xg] Surf server, i´ve enjoyed Speaking english a lot..Thanks everybody .To helped me :D

I was 14 and my english was garbage. I wanted to play some Team Fortress 2 and happened to join Jailbreak. It took a while for me to understand the gamemode but once I got how it works it was super fun and I started making friends like @Rejects @Gwoash and @kbraszzz. I remember telling Rejects privately that I was gonna apply for mod when I'd 16, but thanks to @kbraszzz I actually got it when I was 14, haha. Honestly pretty funny how things went, @Egossi and I went from worst enemies to best friends forever :kiss::kiss::kiss: and there were other really great times I had on the servers.

-1 There is absolutely no reason to change the rule at all. The majority of the TF2 division agree with this fact. A day ban is the standard for nearly all of our rules. The system for most of the rules is Warn -> Kick -> Day ->Week -> Month ->Perm. As trolling goes under this system generally, calladmin abuse should stay at a day ban as it's basically trolling. If there's a popup stating how you will be punished if you abuse the command, then clearly they know that if they are using the command with wrongful intentions. Not to mention how getting silenced for a day is laughable whereas a day ban would send the message better. I see no reason for debate here.

I love the MS paint job. I want to offer you a job as a graphic designer at Valve.

Just letting you know that we listen to the comments of our member's vouches because THEY are the ones who have experience with the individuals who want to be a member of our community. It's like Louis CK says, if someone calls you an asshole you can't just say you're not, you have to take into account their point of view to why they think you're an asshole. Regardless, best of luck on getting vouches and if you do feel like you're someone who deserves to be a member of our community, then you shouldn't feel threatened on a single negative vouch, especially when they state that they can revouch for you if they feel you deserve it.

I agree that any title was to extend past the limit that it should appear with “ ... “ showing there is more text, just so it doesn't break mobile. Just a heads up, silence isn't updating the dark style yet, so you should be on v10 light theme just so you know anything broken is broken on the current version.

It's the only community that was actually decent, let me rephrase that... outstanding!; has friendly amazing people; amazing staff; the whole package. I was hooked. Jangles the Jigglypuff a.k.a Frisky, @Parasect , and a few others were big reasons why I decided to join. They made my time in the servers even better. I'm glad to have come across xG, and have the opportunity to join the xG family <3 #XenoGamers4ever

Hows your english now?

I was 16, I was obnoxious and loud, people laughed at my humor. I'm 23 now, I hate this place.

Vertex I'm still kind of confused where this is going like people are given the choice of reading the rules or not (they're given a small list but it gives the player the option to view all of them). Now if they don't read them its their problem so if they don't agree with the punishment of breaking the rules its all on them. It really doesn't matter how harsh those punishments are because they're justified by this. Now not only are they warned in the rules to not abuse !calladmin they are ALSO given a warning before they submit their report as @Bello showed us. So already you have 2 warnings as to not abuse this command because they want to write ''xd le funny meme'' to the staff . Once they get banned its their problem for not reading the rules and warnings before their ban. Honestly I think the punishment we have now works perfectly fine and sends a message to the user as to never do it again.

:thinking:

Going at the same rate we're going at right now, we would reach 18k bans in roughly 18 years. I highly doubt xG will exist by then, and if it does, it's not really a problem that is relevant right now. EDIT: Besides, it's not like they are permanently banned, it's a day ban for gods sake.

Ads are based on your search history chubs.

I made up this thread to share the weird ads shown on xG. Have any more? Post them on this thread!

also, the total active bans: Total Bans: 4924 not a very high number honestly @Vertex

the Immature one.

it was just a suggestion, as you guys are the ones who actually have to deal with it I don't mind keeping it as it is, and have no strong feelings either way.

Nah, I think silencing people for a day would possibly even turn abusing calladmin into a trend on our servers, given how much of a troll most of our players are. Doing that for a week would be harsher than a day ban also, which is why I personally think we should just keep our current system

@Healix IKEA has a customer Changing my vouch to neutral. Displays immaturity at points but follows rules and enforces them generally.

-1 nah. Seen him on the servers. He thinks he's funny when trying to insult people. A: 7/10 M: 4/10

Just going to take the time here to tell everyone to calm down. Jesus, I haven't taken the time to look at the responses until now, and I see absolutely no reason for anyone to berate or otherwise respond in such a negative way to anyone. The intention of this thread was to discuss a possible alternative that would be mutually beneficial to both the Staff as well as the Player; that's all. Additionally, and I can't speak for Stickz, but is it a crime to want to improve our numbers by lowering the ban rate for trivial things? I see nothing but good intentions from Stickz, and yet it's all being treated in a ridiculously hostile way by the majority of those posting here. This has all but been lost in translation, but the reasoning behind this was to support Players who would like a Staff Member on the Server then and there (from my perspective of posting this thread). Players who are otherwise disgruntled or frustrated are far more likely to abuse the system, but for good intentions; should they really be punished by being banned for a day for it? I get that it can be a nuisance to have to deal with spam in Steam due to the nature of the plugin, I really do, but when it comes down to it, is a day ban for alerting Staff really a good means to an end? A day ban doesn't seem like much to any of us, and I can guarantee that it certainly appears to be nothing to Staff, but do keep in mind that the Playerbase for TF2 does consist of a large number of younger Players; and I can almost guarantee that a good chunk of them will do whatever they can to play the game (on our Servers) or to otherwise enjoy it. I'm not ruling out the possibility of those who abuse the command for shits and giggles, but I just don't see how a minor inconvenience for Staff (messages in Steam) warrants a day ban; especially when it doesn't influence the Server environment to begin with. At this point, it's clear that it's just wishful thinking on my part; but again, this was merely a suggestion that I thought should [at the very least] be considered. That being said, I'd like to #RequestClose this thread before it devolves any further as it has been poorly received and I see no reason to keep something up that is resulting in such turmoil.

I remember joining the tf2 surf and it being barely anyone on but like 5-7 people. First person I made friends friended me because he thought I was funny and wanted to be friends. Hes no longer my friend because our relationship was like oil and water (First time joining was around the middle of February). I always remembered there being like no staff on so I obv would break the rules (not saying which ones lmao) and always used to see this god tier surfer on called Vacindak (coolest d00d on the server still). Couple months pass and its Summer break and there are more and more people. This is when I actually decide to socialize with everyone and make friends with people on there. During that summer we had this squad going on comprised with (these are the people I remember) Lemonvolt,Samualo,Vacindak,Lifeless,i love crippling depression,sex party (currently Plague),Tocsik (was named Grimm at the time),Grandpa Wolz,SupremePatriot,and Mr.Nutty12 . I remember it being super lit during that summer and I was known for being super edgy at the time but for some reason the server still liked me for it and I was persuaded by Vacindak to make a member app which was around Aug 21. Sadly some of the people I mentioned aren't active on the server anymore. There a chunk where new people come in but thats too much to type. I've been through so much with this community (whether it being fun or through arguments I still loved this place) and has been probably the longest i've been with a community/clan in tf2 (I used to play gmod before this but I quit that shit cus it was getting tiring).

It's like giving them a gun, turning the safety off and telling them that abuse will be punished. You shouldn't give someone a reason to be banned, just like not giving a kid a gun because they might cause damage with it. That much is just common sense. It seems like you guys are banning for a problem you created, no wonder people are pissed and protesting.

Okay, if you give a kid a button to press, what do you think they'tr going to do? Are they going to press it and get banned? Or just pretend it's not there?
