nvm we lost first round my team sucks

Are there any vods so I can see you guys miss your shots and get shit on?

closed on request of OP

nvm we lost first round my team sucks

Personally I am against these ranks. They can pollute the server with people who do not deserve or can handle the powers. There have been issues in the past where immature members paid and had powers and we're disruptive to the server. I know it is a good way to raise money to pay for servers but what are we giving up in order to get that money?

theres a fine line between "ironic memeing" and "ironic le maymaying so hard that you become the meme yourself" and youve surpassed this line

Due to the nature of your ban, please wait for some time and try to be a positive player on our servers before making a ban protest. Saying sorry doesn't cut it, I'm afraid

this is a mod app, not a facebook post. please keep posts relevant to the thread, and if you're gonna post an opinion post it on the OP's abilities as staff, not anything else. mass deleted everything, anything more will be dealt with forum bans.
 
thank you

I'm going to miss this. :(

Hello everyone, it is both my pleasure and displeasure to announce some upcoming changes to xG's CS division.
 
 
Summer '16
 
Over the next month or so, xG will be introducing many new changes.
 
Minigames
There will be a new minigames server! As many of you know, I have been in development of our new MG server with the help of Bleed, Lithium, Silence, and a few beta-testers. As of now the server is currently locked and definitely not finished. Do NOT beg Bleed, Lithium, Silence, Chrono, myself, or anyone else for the password.
I will be taking suggestions for gamemodes/maps/plugins/features/etc, so please give any input :)
The IP is 72.5.195.149 and there will be an announcement thread when it is officially open to the public.
 
Jailbreak
Based on player feedback, predator day will be completely reworked.
There also will be some changes to the current JB maplist. Feel free to make suggestions!
I've also considered improving the JB rules - less changing specific rules and more clarifying the rules already in place.
 
Hub
Soon™
 
Surf(s)
Due to the introduction of minigames, it seems like one of the surf servers will have to be removed. Feedback is welcome about this, although most seem to lean more towards removing Skill Surf. Keep in mind this is 100% uncertain.
With the possible removal of one of these servers, we will also be looking to improve both (or whichever one stays) immensely. This includes a rehaul of maps and plugins.
 
Staff
We are looking for more and better staff members, whether its old staff, current staff, or completely new staff. If anyone's interested, please contact any of the DM/DLs of CSGO or apply yourself. (it's also encouraged to apply for member!)
 
 
All changes will be announced when they come - may it be through the promo/demo, announcement threads, or the current ongoing patch note thread.
 

Cracking Down, Again
 
Lastly, I will reinstate what Chrono posted in January about admin abuse. This is not directly targeted at anyone, and if you have any questions please contact me (I'm on forums, steam, and ts pretty much always). I expect all staff to take this post into consideration, and failure to do so will be reflected in the upcoming Promo/Demos.
 
In the last few weeks I've personally witnessed and heard reports of staff doing the following:
 

muting/unmuting themselves to speak when they are normally muted (start of round, dead) (also see: all chat abuse)



-this is one of the big offenses here. muting/unmuting yourself interrupts the flow of the round, and 99% of the time can be resolved in either all chat (@), admin pm (@@user), or speaking when it is convenient to everyone else. everyone is still permitted to speak when they feel necessary, but please take the rest of the server into consideration.

ignoring players or vocally dismissing them - also disrespecting others



-I know that some players can be frustrating, but staff are expected to help all players on the server, no matter what your opinion on their maturity is. Staff may absolutely never be ""toxic"" to our players.

banning xG members/staff for no reason



-kicking is fine, I want you guys to have your fun, but random teambans/bans does not look too attractive in sourcebans (I will restate do NOT kick others at random)

breaking server rules because you feel staff are above the law



-speaks for itself, seen a lot of this too.

poor knowledge of rules



-if any of you are unsure about rules, please either double check or simply ask Bleed, Lithium, Chrono, or myself. We do not want there to be confusion about the rules. It is completely fine if you happen to forget things, just make sure you are 100% correct before acting on it, whether this is banning people or telling others what you think the rules are.

inactivity



-this isn't abuse, but its clear that at least half of the mods literally never get on. Originally, the policy was "if the server is well then all is well", but we're currently looking to go above and beyond that. Having half of the staff roster completely unknown to the playerbase is nowhere near ideal. There won't be an hour requirement or anything, but cmon... 1 hour in 4 weeks?

Essentially, staff are meant to take care of the server and ensure that everyone is able to enjoy their time playing on it. Keep in mind, we aren't gonna go super nazi admin on everyone. Feel free to have your fun, just use common sense. You are not above xG, its players, or its rules.
 
Quick note to everyone: the current cs staff roster is being heavily reconsidered. Take that as you will.

This "reformation" of the staff needs to happen before Hub comes out and we get an influx of people on our server. We don't need half of our staff incompetent during the busiest time of the year. I believe other steps need to be taken too to ensure that our staff is fit for the position before they are promoted. Something like the MOTD test we had before to make sure they have an understanding of the rules. Our mods also need to have a brighter face in the community and be able to be recognized as a mod by the regulars of the server and also trusted by them. I have seen plenty of mods/admins who don't know how to deal with people of the server and are disrespectful/abusive to the players. This needs to be met with a kick to the rear end by higher ups to put them back in line and possible demotion if there is no change in the mod/admins attitude.

just give me dm back hehe xd

Hey an admin says kys to me and nothing happens but when I say it I get gagged...helllllll yeeeah!

alright, thanks for the feedback @Forest @Owl , it makes more sense when you look at it that way

Think of it this way; Staff are there to ensure that the Server(s) foster(s) a friendly and fair environment for players, not to specifically weed out the rule breakers. That is to say, they're there to moderate any issues that arise at the time to prevent any other issues from popping up. The tags are more of a deterrent than anything else. Even if people are less inclined to break the rules in the presence of Staff, their (Staff) primary duty is to, like I said, maintain a fun and enjoyable environment, not to specifically target players for the sole purpose of getting them banned. Of course there are exceptions such as a player hacking (required video evidence) or repeat-offenders who [intentionally] only act out when no Staff are present.
 
Their position is more of a passive one, and while an aggressive one can be just as effective, it tends to dampen the mood and results in players who are less likely to try something new out of fear of being banned. That being said, I'm not dismissing the "undercover" status as unnecessary so much as I am saying that it should only be in effect when it needs to be.
 
Mind you, this is all just personal opinion. Whether or not it is to be enforced this way is up to the Higher-Ups :coffee:

Staff should be wearing proper, clear, tags unless there are no other staff on and they choose to go undercover.
