The CS:GO servers were still under construction under very recently. I believe the official opening of CS:GO jailbreak is tomorrow. I wouldn't say that a division under construction is a "dead division".

This thread is probably better suited as an abuse report rather than a member protest, so I'll move it over real quick. If this guy has a history of abusing his paid mod powers, why was he allowed to get his powers back after repeated(?) incidences of abuse? A couple of bucks isn't worth the bad reputation that you can receive with an abusive mod running around. Unfortunately, I can't remove his powers unless actual proof of some kind of abuse is presented. If he really is as abusive as he supposedly is, said evidence shouldn't be too hard to collect.

If the server is consistently populated (which will probably be difficult to accomplish as the game's all-time peak concurrent players is only about 3,000 people) then it's fine by me.

Solid title bud. I'll message you on my pokman account all the latest news.

First things first, it should be discussed with ALL community leaders, not just nom and silence. I don't know why the ban was changed pre-empively, it looks like someone just wants to see Vector permed in my opinion. Additionally, these secret conversations are kinda dumb. If you have something to say, especially if it involves something that was as disputed as Vector's ban, use admin discussion. We aren't a secret society, be more transparent about community issues. All higher-ups deserve to have easy access to all major community discussions. Lastly, I'd like some more info about what's happening in this conversation. Was there an open debate about the status of Vector's ban, or was it leaning more towards a forceful imposition of one viewpoint. Screencaps of the conversation would be greatly appreciated (sent via steam or in a thread in admin discussion).

From today until next Thursday I'm going to be on vacation. I'll still be on steam and forums ( I probably won't be able to respond to messages very quickly but I should answer eventually) and I may be able to get on TS a couple of times.

I'm not familiar with him, but that's just horrible... I hope he has a quick recovery.

Here's how I see it. Vector's ban (as agreed to by Silence when there was still a "leader" rank) was reduced to a 6-month server ban, of which about ~2.5-3 months of which has gone by. If anyone thinks that this isn't the case, here is a screenshot proving my point. Unless Silence went back on his decision without notifying us while he was still leader or a secret discussion (of which every other CL is totally unaware of) was had after he became a Community Leader (along with Nomulous), this 6-month server ban still stands. If this was a permanent ban, I would absolutely +1 this and support either an immediate unban or an unban within the near future (the next 1-2 months or so). However, since his server ban is temporary (I believe it's set to expire in November) I feel that Vector should serve out the remainder of his ban. Even though this thread is only a few hours old, we've already begun to butt heads between absolute solutions for this situation. Despite this, I do think that we can come to a compromise. I would definitely be in favor of reducing Vector's server ban to one month. He still has to ride out a little bit more of a punishment, but ultimately Vector will get to play on the servers he says he's still dedicated to improving. I agree with those who have recognized Vector's improvement over the past few months. From what I've seen, he reminds me much more of the Vector I knew and worked with during my time as a mod/admin in CS:S, opposed to the overly argumentative and combative behavior he showed around the time of his ban. I feel that this improvement is enough to warrant a reduction in his ban. The only real way to prove if Vector has definitively improved is to see how he behaves over a longer period of time on our servers. Keep in mind that just because he's unbanned doesn't mean that he's immune to further punishment. If sufficient evidence is brought forth proving to the community that he is still an overwhelmingly negative force on our community and servers, a new ban (which almost certainly) will be a perm will be enacted. If Vector really is as toxic as some people say he is, this evidence shouldn't be too difficult to collect. However, keep in mind that this evidence has to have some substance to it. I don't want just a list of complaints from people butthurt that he rustled their jimmies after telling them about rules they broke, unless he was unnecessarily cruel when doing so. All in all, I think that Vector's ban should be reduced to a month, due to recent improvement in his behavior on Teamspeak and the forums. However, if the community (not just one DL) comes to a different conclusion, I'd be fine with it.

I would just have staff keep an eye on him when he's on our servers in the future. Unless substantial additional evidence of disrespectful behavior is provided soon (aka within the next day or two) I'll close this thread. One of two sentences with no context is not enough to justify a ban.

congrats to those promoted.

No idea.

Solid thread you got yourself here. Content (or rather the lack of, in the case of this thread) is better suited to the shoutbox.

@Bleed 5min?

Finally? Whatcha running from bub? Kidding, hope you have a grand ole time.

Why do people +1 these things? ~closed.

#Papichulotimelord Glad to see this change made, good job handling this issue tf2 DM's and DL's.

good tidings!

@Reject could you please confirm? To be honest this seems pretty open and shut to me, given the way that the !calladmin menu works.

Not sure if I should move it to Hellos and Goodbyes or to Photography... Through the magic of permanent redirects, it shall be in both!

~closed due to being unnecessary. Please refer to your previous thread for further updates regarding your ban.
