This may seem like gravedigging, but I have an actual addition.

Random add.

I take a look at his account, nothing suspicious so far besides his inventory being private.

Oh, but what is this, Been active since 2010? But there is two years of service on the account that added me.
Interesting.
Now there is only two logical solutions to why his account and backpack do not line up.
A. He is a scammer
B. He is a time traveler.
But me being the "logical optimistic" that everyone knows me as, assumed the latter. Hence the chat logs.
He has a decent cover up, but I am determined to unlock the secrets of time travel.
If he DID discover time travel, it would surely list it on his SteamRep. I do some digging.

What is this? He was a scammer. Gosh dangit all.
Obviously, I am disappointed. I wanted to bring home a pet dinosaur.
BUT WAIT! He stated that he paid 10$ a month to be marked as a scammer.
For "protection".
There may be hope...
Nah.
My hypothesis is proven false. He is indeed a scammer. Shoot.
So I tried to offer him a MvM canteen out of pity, but he ended the trade before I could take a screenshot.
Hence the lack of canteen screenshot.
In Conclusion: That guy is a fucking dumbass.

-1 for ban. Really there is nothing here that would cause a jump to a ban without any previous punishment/a much more notable history. Though the derogatory language and potential loop holing would certainly result in an on the spot warning and possibly gag, it's not something that would result in a ban unless it was persistent afterwards. To address the "Who has a huntsman" and other repeated phrases by this person in their chat history, there are only a few instances by the looks of it where they actually spammed, with most statements having ~30 seconds to a few minutes in between each. That being said, the situation for the chat spam would be exactly the same as that for the slurs regardless. Now there is the possibility that this person was just trolling, but with what is here there is no way to easily discern between such and just simply ignorance on their part.
All in all, user should not be banned but defiantly the kind of behavior staff should keep their eyes open for and non-staff should be pointing out when staff aren't present.

Yeah Vesper is my gf! I've been playing competitive medic in UGC plat & ESEA IM for a few seasons now and only really knew of casual / pug games never really knew how much heart was in community servers but it really feels like a family over on XG. Like, I may not have all you guys added on steam but it almost feels like it because everybody is a familiar face. And yes! Vesper was the one who got me into XG it first started out as a occasional thing we would do to switch up whenever we played casual but since reaching rank 150 in casual it's almost lost its Value to us. So we have friendly competitions with each other. Her going on the other team trying to stab me as spy and Vice versa or sometimes we'll try to do Soldier/demo medic combos and try to get big kill streaks. Or she'll play sniper which i'm sure is one of her scariest classes haha. But yeah since meeting some key community members we've both decided to make the leap to becoming Full fledged members and i am excited to be able to interact and become a contributing member of this community. :)

+1 I'd be happy to have Sox (and Vesper if they're a package deal) as a part of the community. Fun to have around and play against.

26 Reasons for Joining:

Has a great community, I want to be apart of and seems like a lot of fun. Definitely a much more community orientated server with good people all around.

I'm going to give a couple reason on why I am going...
- The community can be toxic, people hardly have anything good to say, either snarky or sarcastic in a non-humorous way.

I think I know what you mean. People acting in a "snarky or sarcastic in a non-humorous way" or, as I like to call it, acting like assholes, was something I wasn't totally prepared for when I was first playing xG. I heard a lot of shit over the mic on TGH, and it really used to piss me off. There were certain members who just irritated me with their ignorance and incompetence. There are even staff members who I've nearly sent PMs asking them to stop acting ignorant, culturally insensitive, or just super sarcastic while on duty on an xG server.
But you know what? I accepted that people will always act this way to some extent on the internet, and many of the people who used to bother me have already adjusted their behavior accordingly.
 
Like people are saying, if you ever feel like someone's going too far and outright harassing you, you can always talk to one of the many staff members.
There's always almost someone online, you know.
 
- Peers who are apart of this community have repetitively attempted to troll me via steam, it actually gets aggravating.

Yeah this happens to me too. :P
This is honestly just completely your responsibility. When they send to messages via steam, it's all private. It's a personal conversation between two individuals, NOT an issue of public trolling on an xG server. You have power to just end the conversation. No one else has that power and therefore the responsibility of dealing with it.
If you don't like it, remove them from your friends list.
 
- I haven't been playing that much anyways, only once a month.

WHAT? If you've only been playing once a month, why the fuck does any of this even matter?
Dude, what if you just had bad luck and ran into some trollers who just joined the server for the first time?
You're giving 9 reasons why you're leaving xG based on an incredibly narrow scope of gameplay. :thinking:

- This isn't 4chan and stop trying to act like it is. (If you play on here enough, you'll get what I mean.)

No... I don't get what you mean.
Feel free to explain what you mean, though.

- Random players are getting harassed because the ignorant people, that can't find my profile somehow think that I am them.

What? Randoms on the server are being harassed by more experienced but "ignorant" players who think that they are somehow you?
That makes NO SENSE. I think you just misspoke here, I get it.
Go ahead and elaborate on this because I am thoroughly confused. :wut: wut

- I can't even use my mic on here anymore without someone saying something.

Well, I should hope someone would respond to me when I ask for something over the mic rather than ignoring me.
But seriously, you probably mean that people immediately backlash at you when you say something, right?
Well, either they are trollers and you should just ignore them, OR they have a valid point and you are the one in the wrong.
 
Again, that's a personal problem unless they are actually harassing you in which case you can, again, talk to a staff member.

- Another thing I forgot to list too, is that I am pretty much (maybe) quitting TF2 all together. I've been playing for 5 years straight and I still have the skill level of a toddler. I'm not sure if it's my mental endurance or my set up but either way, I suck. What's the point on trying to be good at something you can't. Maybe it's the fact that I main as spy or sniper. But either way, my reaction time and my k/d ratio is off the charts awful.

Yeah I know what you mean. I'm a sniper main myself, and it can be either very frustrating or very satisfying. I'm not good either, I played TF2center twice and I doubt I'll ever be playing again. I learned just how bad I was even with nearly 1000 hours in the game.
But you know what? The whole point of xG's servers is that you don't have to be good to play them. You don't have to be good to have a fun time, either. That's kinda what I like about xG.
But yeah, I get sick of it too. I totally understand your choice if you do quit TF2.
I'll quit too, some day.
 
That's all, wish you all luck if you choose to stay on here.

Well man, sorry to see you go on such negative emotions. :/
However, to be honest, most of your post and reasons for leaving xG/quitting TF2 sound a lot like you're just simply sick of the game and ready to move on. I've been there too, that's how I moved on to xG after over four years of doing everything possible in Minecraft.
If that's the case, go ahead and say so instead of listing off a bunch of reasons why you think xG sucks based on one-day-a-month gameplay.
 
And finally, if you feel like I made an assumption where I should't have, let me know.
I don't want to act like an asshole, either. :P
 
Anyways, good luck out there man. (y)
Not sure why I wrote all this crap, maybe it's because I could relate with some of what you said.

You did not have to make another thread. At this point you are going out of your way to seek attention.
 
If people are actually harassing you, get proof, talk to a higher up, and stop making goodbye threads.

Too open a water bottle without touching the bottle

If you feel that you are being targeted on our Servers or within our community please do not hesitate to contact a Higher-Up. Unfortunately, they cannot be monitoring everything 24/7 and rely heavily on the community to provide feedback and input.
 
To put it simply, as a part of the community we all need to do our part in reporting any issues or situations to foster a healthy and friendly environment for our Players. We're the eyes and ears of the Higher-Ups, and without us it is virtually impossible for them to do their job.
 
That being said, although it's unfortunate that it has come to this, I imagine your feedback is still greatly appreciated :coffee:

Welcome dude

Hello from Trade Gaming History. I thought it fitting to drop in and make an account this week. And greetings to the rest of Xeno.
I'm usually quiet/chill/in the zone, but strike up some conversation on food/coffee/gamesettings/competition/art and you'll pique my interest.
 
Also to anyone I recognize :coffee: It's nice to be here with you.

BOO! Welcome to the clan :D

Welcome my dude! Enjoy your stay on the forums! (Also sorry I didn't see your member application earlier, it would've been a +1. Sorryyyy)

But seriously, this guy is SUPER active and is a really cool guy who just wants to chill and have a good time if you talk to him.
He easily deserved to put that [xG] tag by his name, and I'm sure many of us thought he was already a member!
A: 10!
