Rejects

Remember when vouches actually counted towards your member application.....?
 
Yeah me neither.

I don't know how to word this any better, but I'm gonna take off once again. Sadly I can't give a better reason but I'm just disinterested and tired of most of the crap going around. I'm just going to deal with it now instead of later in the year. I've made my choice and I'm just stepping down to member for the final time. I had a lot of fun supporting xG though, thank you all for that.

I demand that we put it back onto the TGH server.
 
WHOSE WITH ME?!?!?!

I remember when we had a steady TF2 Jailbreak population during European and American times. I played hours over hours with people like @Egossi and @Ghosty. Additionally @kbraszzz was DL.
Good times!

I think it's pretty clear to a majority of members that there has been feelings of hostility amongst a large number of staff and members, varied from group to group. I just wanted to shed some light on the issue, and would like to have an open conversation to hopefully resolve some of the underlying matters behind it. We know there's a lot of "cliques" amongst all the different discord servers with xG members, but still our stance is not changed that although we prefer you to use our teamspeak server, we have no plan to force you to use teamspeak as long as you don't encourage members on the server to use discord instead.
 
First of all, you do NOT need to like everyone, as a community there will always be people who prefer their own group of friends to others, or just don't mesh well with a certain individual. That being said, to not like someone is not an excuse to make them feel unwelcome or to gang up on them with your friends. We are a gaming community, and as we are getting bigger, there will be more groups of friends who have different personalities and interests, the last thing we want is for new members to feel the hostility or to feel unwelcome.
 
In regards concerning attitude towards staff, even if you're staff yourself, please understand that you do not know their situation and that treating them like garbage because they should be doing their "job" is definitely not okay. Being a moderator or higher on our servers is a position that we can't give enough thanks for, because the staff are what hold our servers together. We would not be where we are today, if we didn't have so many willing mods, admins, or higher ups who were willing to sacrifice their time (and sometimes money) to give everyone else a more pleasant experience.
 
The overall message is just to be more respectful towards one another, and try to have some empathy the next time you interact with someone you aren't familiar with.

I already addressed she got warned for using Creative in her own town, and will be removed from power if she is caught using it again to benefit herself. This conversation was only yesterday, and she didn't deny doing it, apologized and knows the consequences if caught again.
 

 
Here are the logs. Did you know that @grap_grop was being rude and annoying in chat, is that why you omitted grape's part of the conversation and pretty much the whole context to put her in a bad light? He definitely deserves a kick and/or a mute. I wouldn't have even blamed her for a 30 minute ban to cool down if he continued after this.
 
I'm actually interested to know how much of grape's comments you knew towards Amy and still made this thread regardless, did you think we would disregard any context? We have rules about stuff like this and try to do our best to get evidence from all sides on purpose to stop groups of friends to circlejerk and target someone they don't like with false narratives. This is a gaming community, you do not need to like everyone, but acting hostile and trying to make them feel unwelcome is not acceptable.
 

 
Had to quote this recent post from you into my post, you egged her on for both of her "responses" that you guys were trying to show she was disrespectful for, did you think we can't see logs, or did you just forget your behaviour when you cherrypicked your screenshots? She also said she doesn't know in terms of spawners, and that Hina would. You belittle her in the chat, insult her and keep putting the stupid :thinking: meme and sarcastically call her the best dl in xG when she's telling you to shut up. You have got to be kidding me with this thread.

You look like a very uncomfortable girl taking graduation pictures.

post what you use

it's not sunday but aw well

@Blizzard shut up now

hottie

is it time for me to completely revoice the demoman?
 
10/10 mod though +1111

I apologize in advance to any higher ups if I'm out of line making this thread
 
So, what am I talking about? Why, none other than Conscientious Objectors.
I've noticed there's no written rule about Objectors containing inappropriate content, much like our Spray rule, and this is a problem.
 
Hell, I don't even know if such a rule exists, but it sure needs to. Nothing like having a moving porn spray whacking you in the back of the head on a map,
. 
But having a rule in place for such a thing isn't the only reason I've made this thread. The real issue is having Staff members enforce a rule regarding nudity/derogatory content in sprays whilst having an Objector equipped with something equally as bad or even worse.
 
Lemme run a scenario by you. A player joins and uses his spray. Perhaps it's a bit too revealing and it breaks our rules. A Staff member warns him about it and removes the spray. A while passes and that same player notices that the Staff member's currently equipped Objector contains the same damn thing.

Why, that'd be embarrassing, wouldn't it? Hypocrisy among our Staff members, why never!
Well, it happens quite a bit... More often than you'd want it to.
 
"But Bone" you may be saying "It's just a little bit of nudity/lewd content. Don't be such a baby!"
That's not the point. It's the principle of it. Even if there's no rule on it currently, Staff shouldn't be trying to circumvent the spray rule by putting it on a sign instead. We're supposed to be enforcing rules, not showing people how they can get around them.
 
TL;DR: There needs to be a rule in place on Objector content/Staff shouldn't use Objectors to display imagery that wouldn't be allowed as a spray

so I think it's been long enough for me to try and get staff again (2 months went by way too fast :( )
 
after moving to different games for a while, I'm starting to get back into tf2 again and playing on the servers, mostly tgh and deathrun

@Basquiat @Vexx @mrnutty12 @Sesh

I may be a bit biased, since @Rejects was a major reason why I'm even a part of xG to begin with, but I feel he's served his time.
 
Rejects was a very effective member of staff, and when he was DL he got got things done. He knows what he's doing and has no problems actually doing it.
He just had a lapse in judgement during a tough time, but I'm sure he's learned from it.
 
And in case you haven't noticed, Rejects hasn't left since his demotion, unlike a lot of other staff who've completely given up or straight up left xG for similar reasons. He's still fairly active and plays regularly on the servers (if his ping isn't too Scottish...).
 
+1 from me. Rejects is a good guy and a good staff member.

"I worked too hard to start at mod again and work my way back up. I think I'm done being staff"
-Rejects.
 
(Jk bby I'm not even mad. I did the same thing. It's unavoidable this clan is a black hole escape is futile plz help)
 
Honestly though +1. He's an effective moderator and knows all the rules. Besides, what abuse he did take part in was server access based to my understanding, and we have no reason to believe he isn't trustworthy with the basic commands. Let this man back on the roster, he'll do a fine job.
 
 
Plus I want my scottish bae back ;)

+1 he's actually the best Irishman in xG so yeah. But seriously though, if we look past the abuse, he was great staff, very active, fixed the Freak Fortress server, and any other server related issue for that matter.
 
So yeah, +1 easily one of the best staff xG has had, imo.

+1 I think I deserves another chance. I know what he did but I think he has learned his lesson.
