Sorry we couldn't get the server out on time. I am just recently transitioning into my university environment again and I was very busy this week. When I wasn't busy, I was tired and didn't feel like working on the server.
 
We also had building to be done with one builder for each spawn (creative and faction), creative was finished but faction is more than just a spawn where you just read rules and leave (like creative) so it is taking more time. There were also a lot of last minute things that I had overlooked and didn't expect to happen.

Just because they don't have a lot of time, doesn't mean they should get a -1. I mean it's your vouch but that's a bit unfair imo. I mean there's people that applied with very little hours as well soo

Wow, can't say that I didn't see that coming.

Hello! I wanted to notify you guys on a few things just so everything is out in the open!
 
Minecraft:
The server will be a little delayed because we don't want to release an unfinished server. We are making sure all plugins and spawns are completely finished so expect the server out before the 27th!
 
Raffles:
If you used credits to buy a raffle ticket, and have not gotten your credits back please message Rhododendron with the amount that you spent on the raffle. The reason for us making it free entries is because since we technically are not a non-profit org, we aren't allowed by law to have a raffle and sell entries, so we have decided to just make it free.
 
We can exclude user groups so we will still have Sponsor-only raffles and it will be League RP to say thanks to our sponsors.
 
Forums:
I hear you all about the changes you guys want, for starters letting people make an application from the tab just like in the past and if it can, we will have that fixed asap! We have implemented a streams section so we will work on getting the streams fixed, and we will slowly add people onto the streams section that we see fit. Please do not spam for it :)
 
If you have any questions or comments I'd love to hear them! Apologies for the delays and issues, but little by little everything is improving and getting done :)
 
Thanks,
Aegean

What are you doing? You made a post early on this mod app about how he's not been here for over a year like he says (which you were wrong about btw) and mention nothing about his activity, maturity, and if he'd be a good mod. This means you as a div manager has provided nothing of use to divs including yourself about if he'd be a good mod yet felt the need to post.
 
Now someone who actually sees him on the servers rated his maturity, activity and gave a brief description that just because he included that he's been there long enough and you felt the need to post on the same thread just to call this member out about how one of his things are not a valid condition, even though everything else is very beneficial to divs of CS:GO. He also could have meant since he was here long enough while following rules, fun to play with that he'd be a good mod since he hasn't had an issue with him for the long period of time that he has interacted with the person. You don't think that is a valid comment for divs to see if he should be mod or not? I really shouldn't be having to tell you about this shit as you've been here a long time, especially since the last time I called you out on this thread you said you were just "dank memeing".

Hello,
 
The father of the kid dropped all charges, the kid is fine and I covered all the medical expenses.
 
The second part seems like an episode of House Of Cards, but isn't actually, I bought the prosecutor, there will be no jail time, no fine, no records, I got my driving license back and the car papers, tomorrow I'll get the car.
 
So yeah, promote me to Overlord, Lawyer and bearded godfather of xG
 
Thanks to everyone who asked, thanks for your support guys, there's nothing to worry about anymore.
 
Close ples @Bello @Goblins

Hello yes I have some complaints

Hello Xeno Gamers! I will occasionally make threads like this as all I want is to hear from all of you what your thoughts are on our:

Server quality
Staff
Raffle System (new)
Sponsors (new)
Minecraft server (soon)
Forums (updated)
Teamspeak

and anything else you would like to discuss. Please keep this thread on topic and this alongside the survey that @TheSupremePatriot did will really help us move forward with the community to address the issues you might have. Right now my primary goal as Co-Leader is to keep delivering content for you guys and to improve anything that needs to be fixed. Thank you for taking the time to read and I will give out a few 1000 credits to people who write valuable feedback to us on this thread. Did I mention we have a 75 dollar knife giveaway???
 
Happy gaming!

Server quality
There isn't much wrong with our servers currently as I'm also getting a lot of stuff fixed on our tf2 jailbreak server thanks to @Rhododendron and @Bleed
 
Staff
The staff team of tf2 I believe has been improving a lot as of lately, although there is mass confusion about what's allowed to be said on the servers and what's not, I still believe that our servers have been going uphill in terms of staff memebers
 
And about the mass confusion I've mentioned earlier which is about the usage of certain words that can be considered offensive by certain people, my viewpoint is that the freedom of speech that we've had on servers should stand and no staff member should enforce rules to an intolerable extend.
Sure some words can be taken offensively and just by common sense should be disallowed at certain points such as when any type of sensitive topic is going on, but there is a huge difference between saying "lol get rekt faggot" after a kill you get in a video game and saying "ew, you're a faggot? God hates fags like you lol" after someone coming out as homosexual.
And if you can't see that difference you should not be a part of the staff team. I have discussed this with many of my fellow staff members such as @Vexx and @Bagel and I would just like this confusion to come to an end, as people screaming "OMG SLURS LOl BAN XD" can get really fucking annoying.
Feel free to give me your input about this @Goblins @Bello @Rejects @mrnutty12 as I will stand with the fact that the only thing that matters in this case is the context that said words are used in, when staff decides whether or not to take action.

Cool

Edit: imo "VIP" was a more fitting name

Teamspeak
Pretty solid, except not really since it crashes like every 3 seconds. I also have been wanting to be able to buy server groups with forum credits for like the past 3 years hello?
Edit: oh and make the AFK channel subscribe-able again cause why the fuck wouldn't you since it's already down at the very bottom
PS don't remove any of the music bots

Why not? The point of giving feedback is to actually speak up about the problems you are having. I'm sure @Aegean would be more than happy to talk to you about it in private if you have any issues with staff and don't want to stir up pointless arguments here.
 
[spoiler=Servers]
(This only applies to CS:GO) Other than the occasional downtime/server crash (which i know isn't always our fault), servers are completely fine. Hub should be 100% priority at the moment. A lot of people are asking for it and i believe we missed a big opportunity to bring players in with it now that summer break is over/about to end for a lot of people. It's something that has been hyped and promised for a long ass time and we really need to deliver on it soon.
 
 
[spoiler=Staff](Once again, this only applies to CS:GO) Other than some staff being inactive, I'm 100% happy with our current staff roster.
 
 
[spoiler=Raffles]I think we could bring a bit more attention to it with server advertisements, but other than that this is a great idea which encourages people to check out the forums.
 
 
[spoiler=Sponsors]Great idea! There should be an easier way to find current sponsors than there is currently. Maybe have a separate page for them instead of a forum post which is currently. They should really get more recognition since they are one of our main income sources (or will be in the future). Sponsor tag is incredible hard to read, dark gray on black isn't a very good combination
 
 
[spoiler=Minecraft]Not much to say here, I know that @Owl and @MineCrack are working hard on this one. Excited to see the end result, even though i won't play on it personally.
 
 
[spoiler=Forums]
I believe some people are still experiencing severe bugs such as shoutbox not loading and not being able to post in threads. I'm personally not affected but this obviously this needs fixing. I prefer this layout way more to v8 (the old one), but i do think it should have been rolled out a bit slower, as this one clearly isn't 100% done yet. Mobile site is still not black, which it really should be (I'm a bit mad about this, I even mentioned it before the background color got changed to what it is now :mad:). I'm also a bit curious to find out why the ratings bar was removed on this theme and replaced by your sign up date. I don't necessarily think its a big issue, but i do prefer the ratings bar to be there, as i find the sign up date a bit irrelevant.
 
 
[spoiler=Teamspeak]Remove the music bots (less of a big deal since you can easily mute them). Biggest problem I'm having atm is with the afk channel. Why are we not subscribed to it anymore? If there's a reason for it i would gladly hear it as it makes no sense in my head.
 
 
Edit: Made this post less of a wall of text, you're welcome :)

Server Quality (TF2) : Servers have been alright. There's still that abundant amount of players who just trolls and spews slurs nonstop and spawncamp. But other than that, I'd say the servers have been doing pretty well.
 
Staff: Uhhhh yea ... Not saying anything bout this
 
Raffle System: Pretty cool, can bump up popularity and whatnot with these. Everyone likes raffles (unless they lose)
 
Sponsors: You guys are bae <3
 
Minecraft Server: Not really sure about its status right now but I know everyone's working hard to get it up and with this division returning, we're gonna get more players and hopefully get more donations coming in to pay for the servers :^) . Happy gaming you nerds
 
Forums: I like the new format and layout, tho there are still some bugs and errors.. Let's hope that's all gonna get fixed and no more issues come up
 
Teamspeak: Stop the loud Waiting Room moosic

What are you doing? You made a post early on this mod app about how he's not been here for over a year like he says (which you were wrong about btw) and mention nothing about his activity, maturity, and if he'd be a good mod. This means you as a div manager has provided nothing of use to divs including yourself about if he'd be a good mod yet felt the need to post.
 
Now someone who actually sees him on the servers rated his maturity, activity and gave a brief description that just because he included that he's been there long enough and you felt the need to post on the same thread just to call this member out about how one of his things are not a valid condition, even though everything else is very beneficial to divs of CS:GO. He also could have meant since he was here long enough while following rules, fun to play with that he'd be a good mod since he hasn't had an issue with him for the long period of time that he has interacted with the person. You don't think that is a valid comment for divs to see if he should be mod or not? I really shouldn't be having to tell you about this shit as you've been here a long time, especially since the last time I called you out on this thread you said you were just "dank memeing".

Rofl why even mention such a thing with that tone, he's clearly been here for almost a year regardless, and some people apply for mod after a few months of being on the server considering it's not a requirement to be in the servers a year+ for a mod app. It's a mod request and if he's been here for 2 years or even 10 years, it has no reflection on if he would be a good moderator or not.
 
Why not just let the people who see him and play with him comment about it instead? I wouldn't even mind if you mentioned how long he's been in our servers and corrected him if you had also talked about if he is a good member in our servers or if he would be a good mod but instead you leave with 0 input, and just call him out on something so trivial.
