This part sounds so brutal o.o

Division:

Counter-Strike In-Game Name:

Pvt.Parts Steam ID:

Steam Community :: [xG] Pvt.Parts Position:

Moderator Time Active:

2 Months Age:

18 Experience:

Have no prior experiences with staff in xG servers. Had some in others during C:SS days. Information:

We're low on staff and there are people constantly breaking rules, whether it be during peak time, or late in the morning. I'm usually on until late at night (4AM EST). With moderator powers, I can enforce rules better, by punishing those who break rules.

You have the sentence structure of a 1st grader.

There isnt enough cpu for all the servers to run with this server to run at 100+ ticks

I guess I may as well post this as I have had the idea to post a member protest for quite some time.
 
Well here we go this has been a long time coming.
 
Cons:
 
General Instigation - Constantly post in threads of no concern to him, in a division that he has no substantial contributions to with the sole purpose to either stir the pot or cause a rift.
 
Contradicting Actions- The old sayinig of can dish it but cant take it. Can be incredibly rude and abrasive, but the second it happens to him he makes reports, messages silence, and will not stop until a breed of his own justice is served.
 
Rudeness- Speaks for itself. Entirely unapproachable in any matter, looks down upon members.
 
General Abrasiveness- Self explanatory, when most members are asked, this is the first quality they present about him.
 
Entitlement- Believes his rank is a form of power, and those under him have no opinion or anything to add to his own idea of any given situation.
 
Anti Social activity / trolling
 
Animal Cruelty - Not getting into details, but if Tarin was removed for felonious acts, then this should apply too, according to my states laws. You can usually find him laughing about this matter.
 
Pros:
 
-Catches rulebreakers.
 
Im opening this up to the public, and I hope that most of you will voice your opinions on the matter here, because most of you have so much to say behind closed doors.
 
Matsi is unfit for staff, (You know who you are, and your rank, speak up and dont leave me hanging) his division is unhappy with his attitude, his abrasiveness, and entitlemeent.
 
He posts with an elitist opinion on topics that he doesnt agree with, but the second someone has an issue with something he has posted, he messages Silence INCESSANTLY acting as a victim.
 
His own division agrees he is good at moderating rulebreakers, but has a horrible attitude and is generally unpleasnt to be around. No one wants to play with him. They want him demoted.
 
He is a bonafide animal abuser. Personally, Im not comfortable around a fricking felon, especially as someone who grew up in a rescue dog foster house. Its a felony. A FELONY. and we let him go about his business here, when we have gotten rid of other criminals in the past.
 
Here are some ANONYMOUS QUOTES on the matter:

TF2-
 
"If we have a good amount of stuff to tack up, I'd say sure. Not gonna lie, I've wanted him gone for a while. He has been a real nuisance for a good long time. He is very combative and confrontational"
 
"because hes all whole nother level of nasty. He wants things like DM and DL for immunity to others? Like really? He doesnt want to add to the community, he wants power"
 
"I think he gets off on being an butthole to people, i cant stand being around him and he shouldnt have aa staff position"
 
"The dog stuff is fricked up, thats not something a SANE person would just take apart of"
 
"THEN, there is the issue with Matsi's confession about sexually abusing a dog. Elephant in the room. What a dude does in his own privacy is his own business and whatnot...but allow me to point out that we have fudgecanned others for similar, (and in one instance, a much less obstructive, albeit still serious issue). Tarin and Xerses immediately come to mind. Where do we decide is an okay level of federal offenses? Assault to animals is still a federal crime. It isn't child abuse or child pron, but it is still pretty fricked up."
 
"Matsi, as we have discovered, has been going to Silence with every little petty issue he can stir up, and always paints himself as the victim in every circumstance, even if it was his actions that caused the problems to begin with. Now, I don't know about you, but if I was a manager of some retail store and one of my employees was constantly the cause of problems, never tried to correct his mistakes, and always went to my boss with lies about the problems in my store, I'd be livid. This is essentially what Matsi is doing."

CSGO=
 
"He puts his nose in places it doesnt belong to get a reaction, thee whole vector thing is a good example"
 
"Hes not welcome in this division"
 
"What would I say? you mean aside from the obvious lol?"
 
Feel free to own up to these quotes as your own. I havent met anyone as miserable to be within any form of contact with, someone who has such a terrible rep here yet acts like they are entitled to this place. I sure as hell do NOT want him within any distance of my division yet alone in this clan.
 
I had decided against posting my own member protest for a handful of reasons, but seeing as how he has now gone from talking about his 'fetishes' in private venues, he is now spouting INCREDIBLY PERVERSE SEXUAL content on the forums itself, I feel as i should add my two cents. At the very least- I do not want him anywhere near my division, this includes having access to the CSGO forums.
 
I have had many conversations with many of you, now is your chance to speak your mind, please man up and say all the things you say behind his back so that this can be handled.
 
Hes a felonious pervert and should take his sick ways elsewhere.
 
+1

+1
I hate your extra info
a:7/10
M;6/10

I don't know if you want to edit it or not, but for activity and maturity you put 1 out of 10 instead of 1 to 10. I think everyone knows what you mean though.

-POINT OF INTEREST -
Membership Applications

I would like to address how we will be handling membership applications from here on out. Beginning January 1st 2016, our age requirement of 16 years old to become a member is being lowered to 13 years old.
 
Before some of you lose your collective shit over this change, please note that this is not the only change being made. In the event of a user applying for membership where the individual is under the age of 16, they will be required to secure 13 +1 votes instead of the basic number of 10 (oh yeah- CSGO now requires 10 vouches from active members instead of 7). One of those votes MUST be a vouch from a staff member who is a DM or higher. By doing this, I feel that we can effectively filter out the more immature individuals who want to be members, as the DMs+ will be directly involved with their membership.
 
Also on that note, any member who is accepted under the age of 16 will be put through a probationary period of 30 days. After becoming a member, they are still able to wear tags and all that fun stuff, but they must not acquire any strikes against them within the 30 day period. If they do, their membership will be revoked. We feel that this measure is an adequate solution to the concerns of maturity within our clan, and still allow us to accept membership applications of our younger players. TONS of people have been rejected this past year solely due to age, and I feel it's a shame we are automatically denying people membership because they are too young. Ever since weve lowered the age requirements, weve seen tremendous user growth. After consulting with the other higher-ups, we feel we should start doing the same. Start spreading the word!
 
-POINT OF INTEREST 2-
Vouching for Members

This is a big one. First off, I do want to remind each of you that we rely heavily on your input on who becomes a member in our community. Any time a Membership Application is posted, the vouches are what dictate who becomes a member. The best way to make our community grow is to be active in our servers, get to know the people playing in them, and directing them to our forums so they may apply for membership.
 
That all being said, this has actually become a point of concern recently. I'd have to argue that a majority of the time vouches are counted, they are counted incorrectly, because a lot of the vouches being counted are not valid vouches. PLEASE BE ADVISED that when you vouch for someone's membership, you ABSOLUTELY MUST follow the vouching format:
 
(VOUCH +1 OR -1)
A= ACTIVITY (1 - 10)
M= MATURITY (1 - 10)
Additional Notes or comments:
 
 
It's that simple. Leave a number for the Activity and the Maturity, then leave at least one short sentence as to why you think the individual in question should be a member of our community.
 
HENCEFORTH, any vouches not following this format will be discredited and not applied to the final vouch total. If your vouch does not meet the minimum requirements, a DM+ will comment on the vouch and let you know it isn't valid. You can either edit the vouch or create a new one. DMs+, please make sure we are being diligent with this!
 
I totes stole this post from @metalslug53 but since it was my idea and they decided to make it an xG global requirement thing I figured he had worded it best :)
 
I know its past January 1st, but please treat any and all new member applications made on or after that dates under these guidelines!
 
Love and copypasta skillz,

done

Forum profile says 23, age on post says 14.
Not vouching, just saying.

Was a mass freekill. You killed people in their cells. like 4 of them and kept going once everyone was freaking out. Will lower to a week ban but you really need to acclimate yourself with the rules that @Owl linked in his post

who tf commented invalid format on my post. get your newbie ass outa here

+1 he's always on when I'm on and he's more mature than I am.
 
Except this is the wrong vouch format so it doesnt count. Maybe I should listen to the guy to the right of my post.

Im really not for lowering the time T's are muted by much really, if even at all. They need that time to properly gain control of the round and give clear orders before everyone starts talking and it becomes a free for all.
 
Also, typically they see your chat messages but you have to be aware that each and every round SOMEONE is unhappy and usually flipping out for the next round - being bombarded with messages about freekills and broken rules at the beginning of a round is overwhelming while trying to give orders for the day.

I like the part where he said gun

Added a message saying how to record demos

A recent update may have borked some things. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
 
S4S was addressed, as well as skipping the !Guard queue by @Bleed after I brought it to his attention, not sure why the changes didnt stick. I also became aware that some people are bypassing the queue by simply letting the timer run out on the Choose Team screen and it auto places them on CT as a balancing function.
 
!Call has been borked for a long time, I know we have had nothing but a slew of issues with it.
 
Can you explain how the T's rebel during an LR like race?
 
Thank you for bringing this up, we will do our best to handle it asap.

Sometimes you live long enough to see legends die.
 
Lemmy from Motorhead has died.
 
While I was never a die-hard fan of the music, I was a die-hard fan of the man. Being a musician myself I have learned so much about how you handle every facet of the business, from recording to touring, and even how to fully understand what it means to play rock and roll. Anyone who has ever toured with the man has talked openly about what a learning experience it was and just how knowledgeable the man was. He 100% fully embodied rock and roll and what it meant to be a rockstar. There will never be another like him.
 
RIP you magnificent bastard, hell just got a whole lot louder.

Seeing how there have been multiple mod and member apps in the wrong section as of late as well as some ban requests here and there I would like to take the time to show everyone how you properly post applications!
 
Applications help keep everything running smoothly on the xG forums, and most users will find themselves posting one at some point in time. If you have any questions, please contact any staff either here on the forums or on our teamspeak: voice.xenogamers.com
 
Step 1: Choose what application you would like to post.
You have 6 options:

Ban Protest
Protest a ban that you received! (guidelines here)
 
Ban Request
Request a ban on a user! (guidelines here)
 
Member Protest
Protest a member! (guidelines here)
 
Member Submission
Join Xeno Gamers! (guidelines here)
 
Report Abuse
Report staff abuse! (guidelines here)
Staff Application
Submit your application to join the staff of Xeno Gamers! (guidelines here)

Now, once you have chosen your application, please read the guidelines for the application. If you do not meet guidelines, do not post the application.
 
 
Step 2: Fill out your application using the guidelines listed above, then post!
 
Here's some explanation for the confusing areas you may need to fill out:
 
STEAM ID
This is a generated number associated with all steam accounts. Can't find it? Steam ID Finder
PREVIOUSLY IN xG
This simply means if you have been previously accepted as a member on our website. If you are unsure, the answer will be no.
EVIDENCE
If you are posting a ban request, member protest, or staff abuse thread, you will need evidence. If you have any doubts on how to record evidence or if your evidence is good enough, please read this.
 
Please fill out these applications to the best of your ability, any shitposts will be ignored.

Thanks Owl- this is probably the most helpful thing youve put together for us :)

Sticked.
