thanks tuna! idk how I missed it!

Could be the website you used. I use this because the first website that shows up when you google steam id finder doesn't work 50% of the time

Steam ID Finder

STEAMID.XYZ

---

Steam ID Finder - is an online tool that finds and converts steam id by community ID / steamID / steamID32 / steamID64 / URL / steamID3

Doesn't sound like abuse to me personally. Just sounds like you being a troll. i HATE trolls.

@Tekage and I'm going to @VinylScratch since she is the only female staff member

Closed due to OP's request

To be honest I don't see much of a need for a new server considering we have to do population events already for our extra servers and now we are adding a new one, but still if I had to choose between the modes I would probably pick between the jump server and especially the mge server as I said in the previous thread since even though they wouldn't really hold population like other servers they would at least get people to come on a decent amount like other servers with these modes as people join randomly all the time to practice and since it doesn't really need to be populated like normal servers as they can be played solo or two players without harm really. Which I know that skill surf can be populated by yourself but I still just think that it wouldn't see any traction after the first few weeks as only a certain amount of people enjoy strictly surfing and since a lot of people prefer the leniency of our combat surf server with being able to both surf normally and combat if they want to while having people to talk to on the server which is what keeps a lot of people on there.

We're just changing the server that we don't ever use, not creating an entirely new server. I doubt it's going to get much traffic at all if I'm 100% honest but it would be cool to have some kind of new gamemode that's hosted by xG

Yep, no bans

@Lithium

Due to the extensiveness of the rules broken, we have decided to ban @Red for a month and he does not lose member, but definitely keep in mind that further rules broken may lead to a perm or membership being revoked

We could do a halloween movie next month instead or something

@Elcark You raise fair points, I will just say not being accepted due to not meeting criteria, and getting kicked out after you're a member is hardly comparable. For me since I've been here from 2010, have only really agreed with or approved people getting kicked out for:

1. Multiclanning
2. Cheating
3. DDoSing
4. Threatening to DDoS
5. Breaking rules on other servers intentionally (i.e. going on rival jailbreaks and mass freekilling)
6. Starting a problem with everyone, never admitting they are wrong, and they provide 0 value to our community

As @Red doesn't into my criteria, I -1'd it for that reason. If the other higher-ups all disagreed with me, then I would allow them to take his membership away as I don't try to have final say in situations like this, but I try to give my input as much as I can. Silence (Rhododendron) and I have always wanted xG to be a community that people can grow in, I've made a ton of lifelong friends here and I'm sure many other people have as well, so I'm not triggerhappy with removing someone from member and I'm sure he would agree as well.

I don't personally think it's necessarily out of the question since tatost's situation wasn't nearly as bad as the things that you listed in my opinion, but I would personally say it's definitely worth membership removal since I would not like to have someone who is toxic, racist, a troll (i HATE trolls) and a bully representing the community on our own servers. I'm mostly indifferent towards membership revocation because of his reply to the thread as I've said though

Edit: Onto the spinning point, I think @Jaydow sometimes turns his mouse sensitivity like crazy and spins in CS:GO, it might be someone else I don't remember but it has never been an issue on our servers, if red is just randomly spinning I would honestly not hold THAT against him of all things, especially if it's obvious he isn't spin botting (i.e. he's not killing people while he's spinning) Just on the safe side though, if @Red can not meme the staff so no one thinks he's cheating, that would be highly appreciated.

He comes onto the server on an alt account which gets rid of his cosmetics and friends, privates his profile, removes his name history all in an attempt to look like a hacker and then uses spinning scripts when he gets kills or such alternatively to just throwing your mouse across the room. I have had quite a few staff members come forward to me about this and some members too, and it's not really based off skill either. Red is a pretty good pubstomper like many other players we have, but his aim only looks shady when coated in all of these factors. It's all in an attempt to bait staff into thinking he's a hacker so he can turn around like "Lol got you staff your staff sucks"

I wasn't saying I have anything against the spinning. I actually think it's quite funny, hell you've gotten me with it before on surf. I was just pointing out to others that the use of the script in trolling is whats being discussed, not the action it's self!

Tricking staff into thinking you're hacking is not funny. It's trolling and there's nothing else to it.

A good percentage of our staff team doesn't know difference between a hacker and the casual player.

I already made a thread about this, but the fact that you purposely try to make people think you're hacking by using scripts and such to appear as botlike as possible does NOT mean that our staff don't know how to spot a hacker. This is mostly on you.

I only have 1 alt which is s1x.

I just clean my alias list once in while and i have a phone which has bad battery so i can't really login to my main so i decide to play on my alt sometimes.

It does really come across badly to staff, so try to keep that in mind!

In terms of the behavior on the servers, I can't say you're the only person who acts like this. There has been a wave of people who have been fairly toxic and aggressive to other players recently on TGH (though I personally feel you are a bit more distinct), so I hope this is some kind of a wake-up call to you guys!

In terms of punishment, your response is definitely making me lean more towards a +1 week ban and -1 removal of membership. Nice to see that you want to improve yourself, I respect that immensely! However, if such events do happen again, obviously something more serious such as your membership being revoked will actually be in much more serious question than this.

Funny you mention.

I have script which makes me spin once I press my f key but I usually just do this after a kill as a habit but I seen multiple players and even staff doing this but i'm the one getting called for this? If maybe you came to me in either discord or steam we probably could had gotten it resolve soon but no one warned me about this.

I think it might be to do with how you're often on an alt account that looks incredibly new, whereas staff are all wearing cosmetics, no private profile (etc)

Red is a pretty chill dude and brings more fun to the server than negativity. There is no reason for him to get perma banned for saying the n word with an a ending mind you which isn't generally used a racial slur.

One look at chat logs would show you otherwise unfortunately. Nothing personal to red of course, but none of this is allowed. I don't think the idea is necessarily a permaban as that is far too extensive.

You can already extend the map as one of the options, though it's not a thing on surf as far as I'm aware so that people don't get bored of surfing the same map again and again.

I honestly think we don't need a new server. Would anyone ever even play on it? We have Freak Fortress 2, Zombie Fortress, Jailbreak, and Uber Upgrades. Those servers are hardly ever played. Back when we had MGE, hardly anyone used it. I just think it is a waste of money and is completely unnecessary.

I would be saying this before, but I don't think there's any reason to actual shut down the server afaik.

Alright then, please stop being disrespectful.

Later, didn't really get to know you but oh well

I fail to see how a surf2 would fare any better than Jb2 did/has if it isn't dead. Therefore MGE because Surf and jump, while different, are just skill building at Source engine movement, MGE is wanted and it's own thing.

Nah it's not surf 2, it's skill surf. Our current server is combat surf. The difference between the two is that combat surfs are meant to be surfing and fighting, but skill surf is solely surfing and no fighting at all. This means that our current surf server can't have a lot of amazing maps that are skill surf maps.

A few months ago, I made an interest thread for what would be replacing the highlander server

Please vote for what server you would be most interested to see!

I just finished a course in Music Performance at college, but I'm taking a year off before I do a degree in songwriting!

@BonfireCentipede You've been playing scout a bunch recently, you might actually be interested in this hat since it's the goggleboy hat but circling heart

People certainly do!

If you talked to most people they would probably respond "oh THAT piece of shit"

Maybe, but that doesn't mean they hate you. If you hate someone solely because they spammed the forums, then they're a very hateful person because that's a silly reason to hate someone. Hell, I don't hate many people at all, and even some people I don't get along with I don't necessarily hate.

Hearing what happened with Tuna, I'm gonna go ahead and -1 until it's resolved. This kind of highlights Grape's point of his lack of maturity and responsibility, no?

I pointed that out because Logic hardly ever goes on the other servers, leading me to believe that grape is just bullshitting so I asked him

Funny how people think I'm going to apply again when I'm hated in the community.

Know what makes me think people would respect me as mod? My -20 rep!

I don't think people hate you, I certainly don't. I just think you need to stop spamming because it's kind of annoying

The double post was a bug, sorry about that! Also the forums are probably dying again, Kypari wouldn't do that.

I'm being a troll

Still a +1 from me though
