During recent months, toxicity has become a major issue within xenoGamers. Recently, there's been an extreme amount of drama, toxic attitudes and just a general feeling of negative behavior. There's been a discussion between the Community Leaders, Division Leaders/Managers and Silence and Nomulous as to how we can begin to stem the extreme amount of toxic behavior within xenoGamers. As a result of our discussion, we came up with a series of reforms which we believe will help to get xenoGamers back on track, especially in the area of the community's behavior. We've combed through the roster of our members, and identified who we consider to be the most toxic and contributing towards a negative community environment. The memebers listed below will receive a punishment (of varying degrees of severity) due to their negative/toxic behavior.
 
Tier 1 (removal of membership and in-game/forum ban):
-Vector
-Iggy Iggs
 
Tier 2 (shorter in-game ban and/or forum ban, at risk for membership removal):
-Gayporneon
-Banginonatrashcan
-SupremeWolf
 
Tier 3 (at risk for punishment)
-Hachi
-Bach
-Fasty
 
In addition, we're going to be taking a more strict approach towards toxic behavior in the future. Keep in mind, just because the members were identified as having a negative/toxic behavior DOES NOT give you the right to bully/harass them in any way, shape or form. Additionally, please keep all replies civil and on-topic. Posts attempting to derail or harass will be deleted and the user responsible may be banned from the forums.

There's no reason to remove his membership. First things first, the workplace comparison is totally inappropriate given the circumstances. We are an internet gaming clan, almost universally comprised of memers and trolls. We are the shit-stain at the bottom of the filthy-ass scumbucket that is the internet. On a regular basis, people say much worse things on TS and we're totally fine with it. People in this thread use the word "nigger" in their regular vocabulary (*cough* @Kyoko *cough*) yet they're never punished. Why? Because we know that they're not fucking racist. Just because Iggy changes his name to Captain Nazi on steam, changes his avatar and status to a swastika, does not mean that he's a racist. Iggy doesn't have steam groups dedicated to hating ethnic and religious minorities, he doesn't go on rants on TS about how much he hates jews, blacks and immigrants, so from what I can tell he's not a racist. For pete's sake people, there's a nazi server group on TS. Do we punish those people because this makes them automatically racists and terrible people? Of course not. If you honestly think that Iggy should have his membership revoked, then about 50%+ of xenogamers also needs to have their membership revoked.

Thank you @metalslug53, @Bach and @ChickenPanda for the clarification. While I doubt that a situation like this will happen again in the foreseeable future, please let a Community Leader or Silence/Nomulous know before doing something like this. Without the context provided, what Bach did looked (and still kinda does imo) very sketchy and certainly appeared to be deserving of a permanent ban. I understand that this was for educational purposes, but without any context it really does look like Bach was using an alt account to aimbot for abusive/exploitive purposes. Once again, if the need for something like this arises again, use it only as a last resort (e.g. you cannot find any videos/demos of whatever you're looking for) and only after you have notified a Community Leader and/or Silence/Nomulous, and they have approved its use. Also, I have no idea who banned Bach, it certainly wasn't me.
 
Basically, don't do this again.

Rules are rules no matter why you break them.
 
Even if you think you are helping, if you break rules, you should expect the punishment they deem. People should know what a mass freekill looks like. it's obvious. Hacking is semi-obvious too, and if not 100% there are others very well known to what hacks look like and/or youtube videos of hacks. Please do not break a rule (especially hacking) to "teach others what it looks like." It makes it look like people can get away with whatever if we let you off the hook for it, no matter your previous standing or attitude on life or religious standing.

Last night, it was reported (via an anonymous vigilante) that Bach uses an alt account for aimbotting. Essentially, the purpose of this thread is to discuss whether or not his main account should be banned (hint: it should, and there's a 1000% chance that it will), and to get Bach's input/response. If any of you turds attempt to turn this thread into a poop-storm (ex: the bobbywow ban protest) your posts will be deleted and/or you will be banned on the forums.

no ty

I see kypari is still being that mature moderator everyone all loves. Oh wait, he's still annoying and rating everyone fuck you. kek
 
I agree with @Rhododendron. Edit the map. I remember when we first had it. the map was FUN, pain in the ass. but fun.
Change the "issues" rather than going off 2 angry brits and @Vector. Talk to the community and see what THEY think, (aka not forums cause half the randoms could give two fucks about forums)

Effective immediately, all potential members must be at least 16 years old in order to apply for membership/staff.


 

What this means



All current members/staff who are under 16 years old, will still be members/staff.
 
All pending member/staff applications that do not meet the age requirement will not be invalidated.
All future member/staff applications must meet this requirement no matter what, unless the age requirement is edited in the future.
Previous applicants of xG who are under 16 are still able to apply at any time!


For the entire month of April 2015, anyone not meeting these criteria may apply. Starting May 2015, the age requirement will go into effect.
If any higher-ups wish to discuss this change, feel free to reply to the essentially identical thread in admin discussion.
 
PSA: this is not an April Fools' joke, if anyone was thinking that.

yum, gravedigging! Fresh off the grill too!
 
~closed.

I remember when this happened. I got on about 15 minutes after it happened. Fuck me in the ass.

This. I'm all for trying this out, but we need to keep a close watch out for any potential abuse. The safest approach would be do a trial run with a smaller portion of current staff and see how it goes. If there's no abuse of ban editing powers, then I might be alright with giving "edit ban" powers to most, if not all staff.

It's definitely a great show, I'm just not entirely very happy with some of the content that they cut from the books however.
