Close? Close.

Rules are written and put in place for a reason, regardless of how they may "make things unnecessarily difficult". Tampering with something that is punishable by the furthest extent of punishment at xG's disposal (Permanent Server ban) will always be something that requires deep consideration and should therefore not be shrugged off as something that merely inhibits a valid point. If coming off as a "rulebot" is what is to be expected of someone who is enforcing what we have written, then so be it. The fact of the matter is that he hacked without the consent or permission of someone like the Community Leader(s) or Leader(s); and while it may have been done with the interest of the Server in mind, that is not the kind of call that is within the jurisdiction of a Division Manager or Division Leader to make when it violates General Server rules. I am neither for, nor against a Permanent Server ban; however, scenarios that involve it should not be taken so lightly.

Was there any particular reason he couldn't (assuming he didn't) ask for permission from Higher-Ups before choosing to utilize a hack (regardless of its intention) for the sake of demonstration? I understand that it wasn't used maliciously and that it was used for "educational" purposes, but with that said: Was there a reason to do it on xG Servers, given the prior knowledge that utilizing hacks in any form is grounds for a Permanent Server ban?

That is assuming ass isn't being used to describe someone in a derogative manner. I mean, its closely associated with curse words, isn't it? Although I do agree, especially because there is a large assortment of curse words that are way more harmful than ass. I feel like if we group together to form an association or assembly of sorts, we can present our case in an assertive manner to rid the more.. Offensive "curse" words. That way we can make a more assessable case, n'ah mean? Besides, it gets annoying when we use words that start with ass, because then it becomes a huge cluster fudge of mismatched words. Just assign the censors to more offensive words, that's all we want. Hell, if you want I can provide any assistance in identifying which are the worst, of which there are quite a few I assure you. Irrelevant post I know, but, it needs to be addressed as its becoming more of an inconvenience than an asset. Ass. :coffee:

RIP Dark RP.

The only skin worth having is obviously the Monkey Business skin: (y)

Plz. If there is no hard evidence to go along with this, don't even bring it up. The behaviour of people is something that is extremely touchy in that it requires proper evidence, otherwise any Joe could support the claim by saying (as an obviously over exaggerated example) "Ye, I dun saw it myself. Hurt my feels." All this is doing is providing irrelevant support to the original claim of destruction to allow for a stronger argument. Not that it isn't relevant to a Member Protest, it just doesn't contribute to the OC (original claim) while also not providing support/evidence, so its just an empty back-up claim. Lets keep the Protest on hand exclusively around the claims that do in fact have evidence to back it, otherwise the amount of bias just might consume the thread. Aside from that, I have no opinion on this and will remain neutral party.

Welcome to XenoGamers, where 99.9% of threads derail within moments of them being put up. In all seriousness though, just to be clear (and to prevent further confusion from people), you may want to edit out the "Rules" part of the second quotation below if this is in fact, only a guide:

My nigga. Remember the good ol' tinychat times? I still owe you a brewski bby, remind me sometime :kiss:

I used to think it did what you thought it did. But all it does is hide this for example, from showing up so it isn't as obvious that it was edited :coffee:

@Rhododendron Still would like your input bby. ALSO. @Hidingmaster

Nigguh FUDGE yo tea. Tis merely just standard protocol among Divisions. It's never a good representation of a Division when changes are discussed with those who aren't Higher-Up, that's all. Gives off a "biased" air, n'ah mean. Also wtf, if Rhods recognizes your input as important, y the fudge aren't you a dm yet :bored:

Hiding, you slut, how dare you edit my post. Gtfo

:Old Man::Old Man::Old Man::Old Man::Old Man::Old Man::Old Man::Old Man::Old Man::Old Man::Old Man::Old Man::Old Man:

Agreed. We don't want another "Darkwolf relying on @Warriorsfury " relationship do we? ;) In all seriousness though, I feel like some of the content here may contradict other rules (correct me if I'm wrong) found in the "General" list of rules that involves mic spamming, cheating/exploiting, etc.

Mmm. Rookies. Staff should always present legitimate reasoning for kicks/bans. Its not only the professional thing to do, but also provides a.. Well, reason behind the ban. Otherwise if someone comes around to protest a ban, all the Staff + Higher-Ups have to go by is the ridiculous "i told you not to" reason, or otherwise the word of the Staff who banned the player.

So, I'm about to spew out a bunch of suggestions and stuff that may be akin to several other threads that discussed "changes" in or out of the forums/XenoGamers. Just a heads up. To put it mildly, I feel that the forum and its sections need to be cleaned and tidied up. I realize this is a very broad.. Suggestion, and so I will take the liberty of stating what I mean, hopefully without making this post "TL;DR" material (lets face it, its going to end up as such anyways). By no means am I commanding it or anything of the sort, but merely suggesting ways to re-organize things. Now, without further ado, lets begin: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Overall Important and miscellaneous stuff that should be noted, but won't be included below as "major" content. This applies to most, if not all, of the sections discussed (or to the Forums in general): Titles of the threads that are stickied need to be altered. Sections are afflicted with threads that are properly titled with threads that aren't properly titled seen here. Notice the threads that are properly capitalized and the threads that look like a sentence (IE. "xG Member Gallery" as opposed to "Staff roster, helpful notes, rules and other things") Stickied threads that belong in another place should be re-located Invalid rules and other content around the forum (confined within Stickied threads) need to either be re-vamped or removed entirely "Consoles" section should be re-named to "Games and Consoles" to better accommodate both sides "Computers" should be relocated as a sub-section of "Tech Talk" "Uncategorized" should be re-named to better reflect (after all, they technically are categorized already), perhaps "Miscellaneous" (wasn't it that before?) "Divisions" should be re-named "Game Divisions" to clarify further _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Rules" Section I personally feel like this particular page should consist only of XenoGamer's policies and regulations, and as such would need to be re-named ("Rules and Regulations") to reflect these things . Threads such as the "admin handbook" or others that revolve around policies/regulations. With that said, I realize it is also the home of our several Division's sets of rules. This results in what looks like a big cluster ***k of rules that can be overwhelming to some. My proposition is to include a new section along with each particular Division that pertains only to the rules/guidelines of that particular Division. What this will allow is an ordered set of rules that are relevant to each other as well as to their Division. No more scrolling through 10+ threads that are irrelevant to what you need when you need it. If this isn't an option, then at the very least add sub-sections to the "Rules" section that leads to a particular Division's rules/guidelines so that you aren't greeted with a giant mess of threads upon clicking on it. I would also suggest cleaning up out-dated sets of rules. This applies to literally everything. I realize this will be tedious, but there are some pretty out-dated or otherwise invalid rules floating around the forum and they need to either be re-vamped or removed entirely. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "General" Section Not much to report here other than the content of some of the stickied threads. Obviously this section is for anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, but there are a few stickied threads that belong in another place. As mentioned in the "Rules" section, the "admin handbook" should be re-located (although generalized, it still pertains to Staff and should therefore be shoved into a section like "Rules" or if altered "Rules and Regulations"). The thread "Want to get unbanned?" should also be re-located. Again, although it applies to the general public, it specifically gravitates around getting out of a ban, and should therefore be found in the "Ban Protest" section. This one has been bugging me the most. "xG Member Gallery" located in the "General" section, but not in the section labelled "Gallery". Self explanatory. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ These are just some of the things I've noticed and wanted to point out as problems with the Forums. There may be others, but I'm counting on people to post below what else they think should be re-formatted, re-organized, etc. Going through each section will take some time, but hell, it'll look a lot more presentable when it's done. Just to re-cap, these are all merely suggestions and should be treated as such. I also apologize for making this a "TL;DR" post even though I tried to keep it short. .. Not really. ... I didn't try at all. Deal with it. :coffee: - Dat guy, Forest. Da real CL ~ Community Leader Tree (Nom was here) - Lee hopping on the editing bandwagon
