  1. I am fine with membership removal that he can earn back in time, I don't think this warrants a ban on discord though if we are removing his membership anyways. I would only suggest temp or perm banning on discord if he continues to be an issue after this.

    Also, I have always been against xG turning into a "safe space" but that's not what we are doing by enforcing our rules. We are helping people who join our servers have a pleasant time and not be worried that they will get personally attacked over their race, gender, or beliefs (which is why we also don't like people talking about politics).

     


  2. @Caleb956 It seems strange that you got reported for abusing admin powers you weren't supposed to have just a little while ago but you apparently have the decency to explain to us what a community is supposed to be about.

    The servers and this community specifically is based on the key idea that we want people to make friends and have fun while dedicated members willingly give up their FREE time to help moderate our servers. Server populations for custom servers on valve games are at an all-time low, and everyone is constantly growing and changing the games they play. 

    Instead of forcing people to have resentment towards us and trying to force members to keep servers populated in games that they don't want to play, we would rather work with higher ups and either figure out solutions i.e. trying out a game that people want to play, or letting people do their own thing on our discord and trying to get people to have fun. Recently, we had a 15 person Rust group about 3 weeks ago, and we are constantly playing golf-it or other party games that people join. There are plans for Gmod in the works for months now because we want it to be good, and we also are ALWAYS open to suggestions. 

    The idea that our servers that is paid for from Silence are not populated thus we are not a community anymore is absurd. 

    On your second point of having communication is also baseless as one thing you are taught as a communications major is people get annoyed if you tell them things just for the sake of telling them. If there is nothing to update, what do you want us to post about? 

    Your last point also ties into your second and that is communication is a two-way street. Listening is in fact even more important than talking, especially for higher-ups, and @virr and myself are on discord religiously. There is never a time that we can't be reached about any situation, doesn't matter if you are a non-member all the way to staff. If anyone feels you "shouldn't" reach us, please don't feel like that and we are always happy to help or listen in any way we can.

    I'll leave this thread open for any further comments as I am genuinely curious as to what people have to say.


  3. Sorry so you don't want to be a part of this community, or apart from this community?

    The fact that you're asking to not get demoted I assume means you just need to take a personal break which means we won't remove your membership of course. You do not need permission for that and I highly recommend doing whatever you feel is important to you and taking care of your mental health. We're here when you come back, and take as much time as you need.


  4. Custom servers for CS:GO and TF2 have been taking a nosedive for quite a while now. We should have some more news on Minecraft soon, and aside from that, people are active on discord, playing games with their friends. 

    Best of luck with College 🙂
