Wow. 20+ pros in one match! I guess I can safely say that the golden age of capture the flag is back
Yes but they were not all connected at the same time. But at some moments we were easily >10.

This post catched my attention, and I read it before Waterbug's post, and did not understand immediately it was a joke XD

First of all, how am I suppose to enjoy the game when there is a player running around abusing the rules and then telling the moderators he knows the rules better then them when he is called out for what he did? As for the rule not being ''there'' it most certainly is. Switching teams is considered treacherous to your original team. It is the same thing ''Don't be a Traitor.'' <---Which is most certainly in the rules)
Being a traitor is doing anything to hinder your own team and help the enemy. Switching teams is just about the worst thing you can do. You did it multiple times, and were warned just as many times. Then you continued to be very disrespectful to everyone. How do you expect to gain respect if you act like this? So no, I am not an abusive moderator. You are an abusive player, who apparently does not like listening. You were only banned for a week. It's best you be silent and live with that ban, or else it will become permanent.

how was i disrespectful? is switching teams considered disrespectful? becuz i wasnt even rlly talking to anyone but you at that moment, and can you explain how switching teams is abusive? atm teams tend to be very unfiar for one team so players must take it in to their own hands to fix it. and how is switching a team being a traitor? its not like ur giving away stuff of ur old team. yes i know the rules i read them every time i join to see if anything has changed, and i never said i knew the rules better i simple veiw it as you interpreted one part wrong. and to do with respect, i might have not been the most gracious but neither were you, i mean it goes both ways, not only mods deserve respect, everyone does. switching teams is not abusive imo. and threatening perma-ban for disagreeing seems kinda haughty, ill live with my ban but that doesnt meen im gonna agree with it. if i was every actually disrespectful to anyone then i apologize but i dont beleive i was.

it would be nice if teams were divided evenly, it could detect if its even by using the players scores. making it that the teams have a close amount of scores.

I've seen and followed most of the discussion, and I agree with DragonsVolcanoDance. Team switching is already a lack of respect towards your team and the game, and that was only the final straw. Yesterday you became angry and disrespectful just because you were killed several consecutive times (that btw happened to me way more 2 rounds after). After "ragequit", you reconnected with an alternative name to listen to our discussion, and complain about kick/ban without taking into account what we (and especially DragonsVolcanoDance) said. The endless discussions after your mistakes have widely contributed to your tempban.

That said, I don't consider you as a bad element on the server, in general. I spent good moments with you. I'm very sad that she had to ban you, that participated at making the game more challenging. But you should understand that your behavior wasn't appropriate.

I have the impression that you are playing too much and getting nervous. You may need a break.
Just realize how bored we would be if the world was perfect.

yes i admit i got angry yesterday and hurled insults for no good reason, and im sorry i did so, and have since then havent hurled any abuse at anyone. ik this was considered the last straw, but on the last straw i dont see how i did anything wrong, other players agreed that me joining the other team to make it more fair did add to the fun, and i still dont see it listed as against the rules, but since it seems ill get banned for that anyways ill just not switch teams anymore. and when i went on as second account i never complained about banning, i simply said when a player is talked about by mods it meens there gonna get the boot usually.

Stix: I heard a short account of the what happened yesterday, and I side with DVD and Gael de Sailly on this.

You were temp-banned for a week on various other grounds. Apart from trying to switching teams persistently, you were ranting on about getting killed repeatedly, and also disrespected the moderator(s) in question, apparently for citing non-existent rules. We as moderators expect a basic level of maturity from the players on the server, and we mete out appropriate consequences in order to make the server enjoyable by everyone - that means no spamming, no being rude, and definitely no reckless arguing with other players - that's just too immature... You need to understand that a temp-ban is just a disciplinary measure, to ensure that such violations of rules do not repeat hence. AFAIK it's the fuss you made, that got you temp-banned in the first-place - this isn't even a problem at all IMO!

That being said, no one here hates you - we all respect you as a good player, and we're looking forward to seeing you back in action after a week - we hope you become more mature and responsible by then... Good luck!

Ya know I think we should do something about the team switching thing. Just the other day I had asked a player on the other team not to swear and he got a bit angry. I had to do something and left for a couple of minutes, when I joined again (it was the same game going on) I was on the other team, and with that player, and he kept dropping me in lava(even when I had the flag) and when I asked him not to do that he got even more upset and started greafing the whole lava thing and dropping everyone in it. Wasn't the best game, and lasted long coz of the whole lava thing not letting anyone get past with the flag.

Dropping someone in lava is very unambiguously against the rules, make sure to report so online moderators are aware

Irrespective of whether or not there are moderators online, using /report will create an official record on the server. Be sure to use /report first - it will also definitely catch the attention of the admin.

Can't we do something about the swearing as well? I hate it when someone starts and gets all angry when you tell them to stop and keep going on.

The server uses the Filter mod, but players circumvent the mod by making a subtle typo (on purpose obviously) in the word.

What if we just add all possible versions of the swears with every typo combination possible?
That'll make it tougher to swear.

Much.. much.. easier said than done. If you would like to spend a year of your life making a huge table of all possible combinations.. you are more than welcome.

I'm thinking add a base dictionary of banned words, and then use machine learning and train it on that to learn to detect the typos.
I've no experience in machine learning but it should be possible to do something like that.

I suggest just stay with the filter we have, I suggest not to add anymore filter mod(s) because some mods can interfere with combat like more lag maybe it may make inaccurate claims etc get people banned etc.
Whats the trick? I wish I knew
