Doctorgringo - Garrys Mod

I've created a discussion with Rhodo a little while ago, like he asked, and nothing ever came of it. I explained why the server was heading in a bad direction and how Vertex was ignoring all admins and players on the server, not working with us, and basically telling us "it's my way or the highway" despite the fact I've been helping him with the server since it was launched.

If that doesn't work then it's best to contact the Community leaders and make a thread on the forums concerning it. You can contact @Aegean @Nomulous @Bleed. However i guess we can just use this thread.

Only thing I agree with, these people don't know anything about GMOD/Morbus and don't really care either, which is fine, just makes me wonder why we're part of this clan in the first place.

Virr and I aren't critizing the Gmod divison. We are just saying that we want to try and get our populated divisions to play on gmod servers. I don't see how this could be interpereted in any other way. Why wouldn't we care about a division regardless of whether or not we play in it? We are all xG members and we want to help out in anyway we can and it's been on the other divisions for not taking interest but at the same time if you guys can make your concerns known on the forums and give evidence of problems then i don't see how other xG members can not give input.

Ill tag you all in the conversation, easier than moving it to a thread. @Vector @Aegean @Nomulous @Bleed

You know I miss the GMOD division. Its how I joined this clan. @Charrax 's TTT server was fun, its where I made my friends and it convinced me to join the community. Back then the GMOD division felt like it was part of the community. Nowadays it feels segregated from the community and where I see the fault is in the division leader @Vertex . Its a pattern we have seen over and over with the way he runs his divisions. He makes no interaction with the community, no communication, promotes whoever he wants even if they are not a member of the community. I really don't know how this has been put up with for so long. We should not have a division that feels like its a severed arm. Thats not the fault of the community, that is a fault of you. As a DL you are supposed to be leading this division as part of the community but I've seen to many things where you have separated your division from the rest. I feel you need to start treating this division as part of the community because I truly miss the days where we had a truly good GMOD div.

People are feeling a bit of a disconnect with Morbus. That's why TTT to on the to-do-list to help bring people back together again. A key difference between old and new gmod was having different server types, that a lot of the key clan-base found more enjoyable. It's important to note, that we need to start somewhere and Morbus was that starting place. A lot of server content and scripting resources have been created, that are in the process of being moved over to TTT. There's tons of things that have happened from an infrastructure stand-point to make expanding the Garry's Mod division more successful. Anywhere from a global donation system to scoreboards and loading screens.

It's bias to say that I promote however, but that is not the case. When there's a single-served division (which is why that needs to change) the division is small. Everyone knows each other and we often all join the team-speak channel and discuss who would be good for a moderator position.

It's easy to just pass or pin the blame on one person, without looking at the bigger picture. Division managers have done a good job with communication, but as you know first hand most aren't permanent. I'm the server guy, who responds where i'm asked a question and works on the back-end to improve things much like rhodo does with the website. I've tried to do both, but balancing them has never worked. If there's one thing you could take from this response, it's that i'm trying and always listening to feedback.

Okay the conversation about Gmod, @Vertex and @DoctorGringo has been moved to a private conversation among higher ups and staff of Gmod, if there's anything you guys would like to add to the ban protest feel free, if not you should close this thread and anything related to the division itself can be discussed openly on the forums in the Gmod divison.

I'm going to close out this thread. Alternative discussions should be made elsewhere. The user who started thread is intentionally trying to ruin the server experience for everyone, because he doesn't like how things are run; more specially, he thinks to be above everyone else and that harsher banning practices should be used, for first time offenders.

Any further major offenses or testing of banning policies "to see what moderators do" will result in stronger repercussions. It's approaching the third strike (ban) so likely 30 days onward. I consider spamming the light switch a major offense that warrants a ban without warning because it's very disruptive and has already received a previous ban plus five slays. If a moderator is unsure if you're spamming the lights due to things like interval changes (rule loopholing), they will default to yes after multiple cycles in a short time-span.

Edit: It's difficult but not impossible to get a server ban on Morbus, but once you get two or three (in a short period) you'd better look out!
