I don't care if the address was or wasn't released. Putting out private information is not only rude, but is potential harassment. There is absolutely no way the ban should be reduced, it's plain dumb to spam people's info.

Only higher-ups can unban and they don't do that unless told to by someone higher than them (aka Silence) or by successful Ban Protest. It's more likely this kid never got banned or, if he did, it was not a perm.
 
*Just throwing that info out there*

Sorry for the huge delay, been pretty busy this week. I don't recommend removal of membership if he is part of a clan whose servers don't really have much to do with it. Unless he is wearing their tags concurrently with ours as that can be seen as a conflict of interest. Anyways, he has apparently said (unconfirmed) that he wishes to leave the clan and is only wearing the other clans tags so unless you respond Pancake, removal of membership is recommended.
 
But again, as a general rule I don't think we should be removing membership of people double clanning unless their servers are similar and present a conflict of interest or he wears tags concurrently on our servers which basically provides an indirect form of advertisement.

Starting off, xG Minecraft is confirmed to be back at 18:00 EST on mc1.xenogamers.com. The only Gamemode that users will have access to is factions. Factions is a gamemode where you can team up with your friends and become the dominant force in the world. We want to encourage people to plan wars and fight with each other, so Im scheduling a 'war day' on Wednesday next week, at 17:00 EST. Hopefully you guys can be there. On the war day we want all players to attack their enemies. Some plugins that are with factions: Player Heads - Kill a player and get his head, pretty simple. Auction his head on the market for money, or hang him on your faction head wall | Blood - Type /pvpblood to turn on blood in minecraft. This is a pretty cool mod. To turn it off type the command again, pussies | Auction - Gives the ability to auction off raided items for a profit | Please come show your support on Friday <3
 
After one week (A week on Friday) we will release xG Survival. xG survival will be normal minecraft survival, but with a twist. There will be shops in survival, and with those shops you will be able to make money by selling off your items. With said money, you can create a business. As the CEO of your business, you can employ different workers to work in your business (this is another way to make money) It's quite expensive to make a business (50k) but it's possible. A couple of other plugins that will work here will be the pvp stats plugin, and the hitman plugin. The hitman plugin is pretty self explanatory, you request a hit on a player and then some of the other players will go and attack him for the money. The other plugin has three parts. One part is that the plugin will give a 'money drop' element. If a player is killed, they will drop (about 5%) money, and the attacking player will earn it. It adds to the pvp element. The second part is the ranks plugin. This will give us the ability to have K/D ratio leaderboards (for all you COD loving 12 year olds out there) and also an outlaw leaderboard. An outlaw is determined by how much Karma he has. If a player kills another player, he loses Karma, the players with the least Karma will be on the outlaw list. More Plugins to Come!

The week after that, we will release Minigames. We havent yet decided what minigames, but most likely old favorites, like Hunger Games and Mob arena, and some new ones, like Trouble in Mineville. The minigames will be realeased on a day by day basis, starting with Mob Arena. Come back for more info.
 
The last 'Planned' world will be Apocalypse. This is a world set thousands of years in the future, and you must survive a zombie outbreak. The spawn rate of zombies has increased by ten times the amount of vanilla, and now giants spawn naturally. They deal 5 hearts of damage on every hit, and have 100 health. Be careful! Also, watch out for the acid rain that hurts you, and the radiation that kills you. When this final world is released, the server will be completed. It will be at version 1.0.0 (<3) and my work will be done (until next update) Also, dont forget that shit goes over 1.0.0 now...
 
Any questions? Any suggestions? Be sure to leave them below.

As much as it pains me to say this, Matsi is completely right in this situation. Since you do not meet the requirements needed in order to apply for mod, I'm going to have to #close this mod application. This doesn't mean that you can't earn mod by being promoted by higher-ups, however in my opinion this is unlikely to happen.

Not even taking into account the bans (whether warranted or not), he simply hasn't shown a maturity fit to be seen as a moderator.
 
For example, if any of you guys have ever played CS:S with me late at night you know I get really lackadaisical about the rules and end up just screwing around and being generally childish. And that's okay! Like damn, it's a game. BUT we also need to be able to trust that when stuff starts to go wrong you can grow up and take care of it quickly and efficiently and that's where I have trouble seeing Jubens being an effective mod.I can't see him being able to turn off that child switch and turn on the mod when the time comes.
 
If I see a marked improvement of that then I might think differently but for right now I can't.

I'm sorry, but the fact that he ISN'T new and STILL gets banned repeatedly for breaking rules should further prove why he should not get mod, not justify that he should.

There's a difference when you have a ton of bans after you get mod from banning yourself. and having 11 ct bans for freekills, 1 for mass bombing Ts (although that should have been a server ban not ct ban), and a couple regular bans for spamming. as well as when he spams the forums with useless pointless shit just to try to be "funny" when really all he is doing is being annoying. The most recent person to do that on the forums was iceslice, and he got put away for a long time. All his recent antics on forums alone show he lacks the maturity to handle moderator. let alone the fact he constantly breaks the rules by intentionally freeshooting people (even though they may be friends, they probably don't want freeshot) and his spam both mic and chat in game.
 
This is the reason I gave a -1 and I really do honestly 101% believe that he is not fit for moderator. And the whole idea of "well there is only 1 way to find out" is a stupid idea, because if he does do something bad then he tarnishes the reputation of the server, I would have to see a complete change in attitude before I would even give a 0 on his app. I am also fairly certain many others believe the same as me.

Not even involved in CS:S but 50 overall bans sounds like a pretty good reason not to accept him. Along with the constant shitposting on the forums.

You troll a lot and, while you may know rules, you seem to rarely follow them. A lot of times when I see you on I see you arguing with others and this just makes me think you can't handle being a mod. Especially if you already aren't following the rules yourself.

So, just got caught up in this. I know code. Mostly C++ and C#. And I know Silence doesn't use them. We've talked before about coding and we have 2 very different definitions. I can see if I can help out with Hub though.
 
Also, for the skeptics on hub, I know for a fact Hub was a major draw. I alone dropped money on these servers just to get the hat packs and was pissed when I didn't have them anymore. But they were a huge money draw, and were fun in server. So, if we can get hub back, or at least hat packs, I'm pretty damn sure CS:S will populate and pay for itself.
 
Now someone send me the hub code.

#anotherhubthread2014 look at HG for example they still play with 1 map and population of the server is usually 40-60 average, they have coders within the community and take care of the regular server maintenance,here is some 12 grade math for you (hub + css = more players) , (more players+hub+custom stuff to actually donate for=$$$$$$$$ for xG) and i'm pretty sure that's what keeps @Rhododendron happy. :afro:

No one's funding it. Yes, there are donations, but they aren't substantial enough to pay for both Servers and Hub. I'd honestly like to see a number (or at least an estimate) of how much it would cost to fund it @Rhododendron if that's even the problem. That includes the [possible] cost of paying for a coder. I firmly believe that if given a number to work with, Players/Members would be more inclined to provide donations rather than working with a "give money and things will happen eventually".

Im not saying working on hub is easy, but NOBODY IS WORKING ON IT ANYWAY. By dumb logic, you could say "TF2 gets more people, so lets make THAT better before the servers that ACTUALLY NEED IT"
or, you could look at it more logically and say " Since TF2 is already doing well, why dont we improve the servers falling behind?"
All I ask is SOMEONE work on it, instead of saying for a whole year that it's being worked on, just for it to not be getting worked on, or get abandoned.
Hub wont solve all CSS's problems, but it will help population. If you cant work on a server, why have it?

When we did have hub, our jb server was more populated and had more people interested in us due to what we had to offer. I understand that it is a-lot of work to do in making sure that everything added works smoothly, and that it doesn't make the server lag. Overall though I think we should atleast give it another shot. I mean what do we have to lose?

Somebody should explain this... theres never been proof of it. CSS is still populated as it has been for many years. Of course you lose people when you abandon a div.. it could still be 50 people if there was effort put into it.
 
and @Eden most of the donations go to just keeping the servers running. Server bills arent cheap.

Oh really chrono? Didn't know that Dr. Lee accepting him as a mod and letting him wear the tags was something I did.
 
First off chrono, theres no need for this argument to be occurring on this thread. As i have stated before and will state again, you had opportunities to talk to the 3 of us about this personally; you have failed to do so and in my opinion you handled this in an incredibly irresponsible manner. You made 0 attempts to get our side of the story or of what really happened. Instead, you decided to take it upon your liberty to reopen a thread, tell a CSS member to remove tags, and accuse people of some gross mistake. I don't care if you want to have a say in other divisions and what they do but DO NOT come in here like you own the place and take care of things based off of your own thoughts and facts.

Was part of the map, removing the ban in a moment. I'll bring it up with mega to remove the map too. #Closed

Offender will be demoted.
#Closed

He was actually banned, then unbanned, THEN PROMOTED AGAIN, then demoted.... :P
 
I fail to see why people get banned for "abusing powers" the punishment for that should be... losing their powers(and not getting them again).
 
+1

In the interest of being fair, we should either unban Echo or ban that certain other person. I personally hold if someone abused, they'll never hold a staff position again. But, this is just playing on our server. As a #newfag, I'll roll with what Hiding thinks since he'll know the context more - I hope. If we're going to keep other abusers unbanned for whatever reason, I have no problem with Echo being unbanned as he's liked the community generally. And it'd be highly hypocritical of us to keep one (person who has abused like this) unbanned and the other not.
