THIS SERVER NEEDS MORE GM'S

[mostbitter]

i think it is kind of funny that the people in charge of the server have let themselves feel powerless and then decided to blame the people they are in charge of for it. Pretty sure that in an other forum that would be the black and white description of poor management.

I ain't crying. I just think there should be actual rule enforcement or no rules at all.

But I think it's pointless to play the blame game, the result is still the same, we have a server with allot of rules and none of which can be enforced. Maybe we can stop pointing fingers and look for a meaningful solution.

Logically there are only two solutions, hire more GM's or Remove all rules. Selectively enforcing rules is worse than having none at all. It punishes the people who follow the rules, while allowing people who don't to repeatedly offend.

what gets me is they act like it's so difficult to find qualified people and then we keep getting amelinda's zades' uthgaards that other halfing gm dude who got pushed out

if its really shitty people. here is your plan of attack

stage 1, GM presence, (stop moderating ooc, for fucks sake, just watch it, and wait for people being dicks, it will happen, once identifying dicks, show up, stare at them intently, at this point they will either camp out or say sorry)

problem solved for 90% of the server issues.

stage 2 : this is were your monitoring comes in handy, also your server presence, so you been on the server for a whole week, 8 hours a day, shit almost half of what i play, but that should be more than enough to have found out who's being a cock sucker and fucking up the community you GM for.

you're going to like this part, believe it or not, you still dont even have to ban these people. this is were you /tell <name> hello this is GM agatha, im here to inform you that i have been evaluating your behavior for the past week, your actions have been deemed toxic to the atmosphere and you will be punished if i observe you one more time doing so.

problems solved for 98% of the server

stage 3: ok so you have managed to guide this server for a month, you have enough presence on this server and monitoring of YT and whats going on to know for certainty who your problem makers are, the 2%, you have informed them to stop and they havn't.

no suspension, nothing, just a straight ban, boom 100% of your problems solved.

what smallmee and other low 50s pvpers do is perfectly legal, and is and will always be a big part of pvp servers. what mrbigs was doing might be a little bit more "shady" perhaps, but perfectly legal and to say GMs should be stepping in on things like this is ridiculous.

this is the exact statement that makes shit shitty, just because its legal doesn't mean its right, in the middle east its legal to marry 8 year olds. Does that make it cool?

This is a huge problem within azrael, the mentality of its not against the rules.

The rules serves as a guideline and you should always lean further into the rule than stated using empathy and not aim to be a cock sucker.
