Also experienced in arguing with people and moderating on forums/discussions (from retards to high-class citizen and reversed).
I've stated my CV. :clapping:

 

i never leave my opinion under moderator applications but here i have to say a clear NO.
i met you several times ingame, if you dont like something, you offend people without a reason.

 

Yeah, actually, your opinion matters. (to someone)

 

Just because he is a dick as a player doesn't mean that he will act the same when he has responsibilities. I would rather prefer a decisive and fair admin, than a silent but impulsive one. You know, a dog's behavior is simple, elementary, in your face really and easy to predict, a cat on the other hand is passive but extremely deadly at times.

And as a side note, his application is for forum mod, not server admin. So you don't have to worry about his thoughts since here he has bigger bosses to answer to and frankly doesn't affect you either way. What, he would delete your trading post because you didn't respect the proper grammar?!

 

That would mean deleting 35% of the forum. So the "grammar nazi" actions aren't result-bringers. Usually the people who don't like me much they don't like me because of the trade market. Mostly cause I won't buy at their stellar prices and I won't sell at ridiculously cheap prices. More or less, they can't get their ways with me. And usually when they keep on telling bullshit in trade, we end up with me telling them they're "delusional". That is the great offense.
And on second thoughts, I'd apply to admin console ingame as well. For the public to know. Being admin here wouldn't allow me access to the database or getting extra items or other advantages other might think I would get. But would allow me to keep some order to it and by the severeness of the situation, apply a temporary account lock with forum warn or ... other measures which are approved by higher staff members. So that is why the "antipathy" rises against me. Cause if they go wrong, I won't look the other way.

 

the thing why i dont think that u will be a good moderator is because u try to rip off new players while they dont know the real prices. i watched this a few times and whisped the "noobs" and told them the real prices, if you are wondering why many ppl skip the trades with u.
its okay if they say u a price and u buy it. but you are trying to tell them bullshit. at the end they believe u (after brainwash with your talk [i might even have some screenshots of this]).

the sense of my text is, thats not an exemplary behaviour, which is the most important thing for a moderator (no matter if GM or FM). And i think when you are a moderator, you can trick people even better with "im a moderator, trust me, pala comb 27 life is ohm!" :clapping:

 

Your talking equals to zero. Also your argument here closes to zero. You fellas do your best to overprice in each game and act funny. I usually sell self-made enigmas to newbies for Ber+Ohm(10-14 ed, ap, bp, mp, ds). 3 cases may confirm this. Also the fact that you just can't get your price with me and you skip trades with me results into a solo fact. You get ripped by the other hungry sad fellas who believe they're tradesharks. I believe you already are trying to attack my image with slenderous acusations. The fact "I'm moderator/admin" is not a argument to increase your d2 knowledge. A player knows his stuff as well as he does, not as the function he fullfills. The "we skip trades" part can be easily solved. Make new account, put the items to sale. So instead of acting like frustrated kindergarten "isolationists", taking your teddy to a corner, even if there are three of you guys, you should learn to negociate, behave and trade.
I could say the same about your "pricing". Even worse. And it takes me about 5 minutes to prove it. The difference is that I don't have to slender you.
These being said, the more you slender me, the more you'd fear the idea of me being a potential moderator or admin. Which is understandable. I'd sincerely punish you after a forum warning, just like I'd act with anyone else who would use a third party program or misbehave repeteadly. You should try something really "accusing" before talking bullcrap.

 

And I wanna see some prints of your accusations. I wanna see them. And I'm sure the staff members wanna see them as well. In fact, if I would be doing something bad, they should see and warn me about my behaviour. And if it's not true, warn you about your behaviour .Or if you can't back down your words, keep them home.

 

Sorry guys but this is my opinion on this matter:

Your inability to diplomatically resolve the bad blood that is very evident here is clear indication that neither of you are good moderation material.

 

Do politicians have the votes of all their electorate?!

Also most of the mods got their access while back, not allowing enough time to pass for these type of "arguments" to arise!
By this logic no new admins will come forward, unless they fall under the category I previously stated, silent but potentially deadly.

I for one fail to understand why anyone will want to become an admin, lots of work and no reward. He tried to help the community, and will not get what he wants in order to provide that help. He would be stupid to insist any further!

 

Eh, well, Reign. You're right. Things cannot be resolved diplomatically unless someone forfeits. And with false accusations, that's neither diplomating, neither forfeiting. Bad blood resolves usually throught the removal from the tissue. Now back from psycholand.
The p-o-p-u-l-a-r choice is usually the easily corruptible, spineless and "diplomatic" rat who is unable to enforce any rule and keep any discipline.
This "pansy diplomatic bullsh*t" doesn't apply when you see it doesn't work. Like in the case here.
Hey, Coldet. If you were accused of something you didn't do, you'd "Diplomatically" wait and eat or would you talk the problem into solvance?
We all agree this is a place of fun, but fun is when all have fun. When some "leeches" drain other and then blame the others for leeching and everyone turns their face around... That's not fun, that's not community. That's pathetic schoolyard bullied kid attitude. Turn your face when someone is being done injustice and eventually, take side with the agressor, so you won't be bullied as well.
Usually, when you throw sh*tballs to someone, you need some proof. If no, we're talking about a clear offense.

And... yeah Reign. The moderator should be the moral victim of all the alliterate fellas without being able to talk back. Talking peacefully as you get spit.

The worst part is that the more I go conflicting with older individuals (because most of the D2 players are 20+) I realise some of these fellas need serious attendance. And the admin reply is the following structure: "And what should I do, lock him cause he did some small stuff?"

And yeah, it was a stupid idea. There is one single man who makes decisions, the rest are small "coldets". Who act "diplomatic".

Now we will have probably a lock from a self-sufficient moderator, saying this is flame and I'm off topic. Even if the entire post is about admin/modding and behaviour.

 

Again. My advice to you, an any future admin/mod wannabe will be, stick to being a simple user and try to avoid any acid conversations. It's like playing in a beehive, if you don't stay away from the soldiers walking the halls, you will get bitten. Just don't forget why you are here. To play, and nothing more. This shit about helping the community, banning when is morally right and putting the foot down when it's not, it's overrated bullcrap, and frankly it's like beating a dead horse.

I said many times in the past, maybe not here, a private server is a dictatorship, not a democracy. Act like you understand the system and you will be just fine.

 

It's not quite dictatorship. Because they more or less need people who can help them. And who play here. More or less D2 is a old, close-to-death game. Lesser and lesser people have some knowledge of it. I take this silence of the staff members as an indirect participation of the admins to the attempts of bullying from players who get reported. Believe me, it takes me ten minutes to fill their forums with complains from others. I just go in and PK some of these guys. Maybe join one of those public games which scale from A1 to A1228137817281 without being check by someone if they're bots or players. And kill the "assumed bot". Then, the botter will cry his eyeballs here on forum cause he got PKed. And you can guess who's to blame. Me who found the bot, or him who was botting on a server which says botting is strictly forbidden. But you're right, if I need to post this and talk all this crap so I don't get any response from any staff member, I believe it is completely pointless to move a finger onto server interest. I'll stick to player stuff and if justice ain't justice, there are ways... You just gotta be creative.:thumbup1:

 

just take proofs and ban the botter. theres no reason u have to pk him. get enough evidence and ban the bad guy. all you have to do is posting it on the forum and let the mods ban him.

 

As a normal player proving with screenshots is a hard bot-prove. Yet a player in a server like that killed who doesn't "press esc" is clearly a bot. Ofc nobody would kill if the player would respond or react before being hostilized.

 

Staff members still HAVE to take and post screenshots of everything they do in a "Staff Report Section". It is a pain in the ass - but it does help to keep staff members honest.

Pk'ing is quite justly a ban-able offence.

If people want to "Help" others they certainly do NOT need to be staff.
If people want to help catch botters, they certainly do NOT need to be staff.
If people want to organize tournaments or events, they certainly do NOT need to be staff.

There is ZERO glamour or advantage to be a staff member. In fact I play in "disguise" MOST of the time so as to avoid all the irritations that go along with the position.

 

coldet thats exactly what i think about beeing a mod.
you dont have big advantages on this server. you can help here without holding that title, which is in my opinion very nice!
by the way i think its good that mods have to proof every ban, too. so fail bans wont happen.

 

Coldet, you are the peace-dove here. I don't share the same peace-and-loving-turning-the-other-cheek attitude. But my point is complete since "pking" is a bannble offense when you PK a guy for doing you wrong. But when the guy does it wrong and you report to the forum, the peace-doves here will put a finger in their cheek and pretend they didn't read. Not even a public warn. This type of environement seriously encourages kids to hack, scam, disrespect, flame and act like s**t. And get away with it. This is not a controlled environement here. This is a place where all types of fatkids with small... minds can act like really being alphas in their delusion. If PKing is a bannable offense, I sincerely can't wait to be seriously provoked. If any authority cannot remain relatively objective to its responsabilities, which include player actions and behaviour, which can be guided through warning and different small punishments, then it's time for them wether to take charge or put the gloves aside. No hard feelings.

 

Roalex1337 i think u want to be a small Batman of the server ho punishes the " bad guys " and its above any rule/common sense. You do realize i spend a part of my free time tryng to help you and others players have a good time right? ITS MY FREE TIME! It is such a same that we dont ban some player until we have Rock Solid Proof? Do you even imagine how many players here dont speach english or simply are to taken in of the game that they cant see announcements ? Please stop asuming you can do a bette job bacause i am 100 percent sure that you can't! You are no hero , you have no special powers and you will not become a martir if you spam this forum and wine all the time about the big bad admins that have no balls ( come check me ! ) ! .Just go play and if you see / smell / think / dream about any bad deed just wisp me and ill go check ! Have a nice day.

 

I just realised my topics and arguments are useless. Tenis ball at the wall. Reign is totally right. This is taking us nowhere. So, whatever. Say whatever, do whatever. Tried to help, to waste "Some of my free time" as well, but anyone who can check this admin application topic will see the clear reason why this ain't gettin' to a positive point.
