Blackout Ro - Corruption

[Ambrose Merle]

A little while ago I joined Blackout Ro and thought I'd play it. Everything started out fine, until I got on the forums. I said I could make sprites, but I'd need some help. Then people started saying "oh well he just wants to be a GM" and I kept telling them I flat out REFUSE to be a GM and that I've been one ebfore and found it too be far to stressful. Then I stopped asking about making monsters for game and resumed playing it. Then one day I started remaking my Zephyr TZ-90 sprite for fun and realized I didn't know how to finish it and couldn't get ActOR to work, so I thought I'd ask one of the GM's there and they started harrasing me about it. One of them was nice and told me to ask Anxiety, and I did, but about 5 minutes later they warped me to nifleheim and acted like they were thinking of banning me fo rthe hell of it and started swearing at me, mocking me, insulting me, and then for fun while they left me there waiting, started talking about doing nasty pranks on the players for fun. That was the last straw, I quit Blackout Ro and wrote up a review and was satisfied until I noticed this...

You contact me about GM positions and boast about how you can "sprite", and when I denied, you give up and leave negative comments? Hence you wonder why you weren't accepted. Enjoy finding a server that suits your "needs".

I NEVER contacted him about being a GM, I NEVER boasted, and he never denied me, the players did, HE NEVER REPLIED ON IT! I left negative comments, yes, but they are valid comments. I didn't put down 1 on everything, I rated the server honestly. If I had known he'd LIE about what happened though I WOULD HAVE LIED TO! Blackout Ro has proven time and time again how corrupt it can be. I've even gone over the reviews and noticed some things that make me wonder if one of the moderators isn't bossting the numebrs using multiple accounts (note the perfect scorings and similar names.). I wasn't accepted for 2 reasons. 1. a few of the people using the forums intentionally went around picking fights like Sessy and 2007. Despite numerous rulebreakings though, Sessy HAS NOT BEEN BANNED. Why? Well the fact he use to be a GM on the server makes me wonder about that. I do have some screenshots, and although they don't say much, they will back some of what I said.

I'm in a hurry and somewhat outraged so I can't stop to check for typos. If I broke any rules, let me know, I will appologize, review, and fix if possible. Same for typos. I'm reporting this server for review for the reasons afore mentioned and more. I have a friend who can back me up, she still palys the server, but knows how horrible the GM's and ADMIN can be, especially GM-Anxiety who seemed to be calling most of the pranks and rule breakings. Please note, swearing is agaisnt the rules, so for GM Anxiety to bust the words he did in those images and get away with it, shows a bit jsut how off the server is. Note: NOT ALL OF THE GMS ARE BAD! Some of them WERE VERY NICE (3 of them, just 2 remain. Then agian, the 2 just watched as I got harrassed so that kinda ruins aprt of that perspective.).

P.S. The file is in rar, once again, let me know if I need to change that. On another note, this is NOT the first time this server has been reported, just check if you don't believe me. Where one bad report might be, a dozen or more can't be pure coincidence. Thank you for your time. I also am aware that proof isn't the greatest, I had more screenshots but between the recent anonymous hacking, the fact I can only post one screenshot, and the fact i didn't think about screenshotting any of this until AFTER it occured sort of hinders my evidence ^^; Limited message history has its downsides I'm afraid... Well, gotta dash, my ports still have access ways I must seal before I'm hacked again...
Posted on: September 25, 2007, 10:12:53 amMy bad about the multi-account reviews: That was a different server. I did inspect their reviews though and believe one to be written with perfect marks which isn't honest, especially considering the fact the classes are FAR from balanced.
Posted on: September 25, 2007, 10:18:14 amOh, for another note. I've found out this server has been spamming advertisements and has even been yelling at the players to vote to the point my friend is wondering if it's not invalid. I'm not sure what she means by that entirely but it sounds a tad bit like their encouraging vote spamming, or maybe harrassing players into it, maybe even bribing. I'll see if I can find anything else out.

[Someone]

Oh I know how bad it is, Let me fil you in.

1. The admin is 14, and lives in New York, but never gets on.
2. Anxiety has anger issues and can't control his attitude, and bans whoever he wants, because he pushes the admin around to do what he wants.
3. Yes, the GMs are Corrupt, they spawn items for their characters, and do what they want with no restrictions.
4. All the male GMs are corrupt, let's just start there. The only noncorrupt GM was the only female GM, unless GM-Onela came back, she is 100% uncorrupt. She kept the server fair, and balanced, however she had some IRL Issues and left.
5. If you're a friend of a GM, you get your way with others.
6. None of them know how to do their job right, except Onela, who sadly, is gone.
7. How do I know?

I GM-ed there for a few months before I couldn't stand it anymore However, none of them know who this is.

[Ambrose Merle]

If you are sessy I'm gonna laugh my tin can off becuase he's an ex-Gm who also treated me like crud which would be ironic if he was helping me in which case I'd need to appoligze... o_o;; but If you're collin then thanks ^^ If you're someone else but sorry I don't know you o_O;; ... there you have it peple, more proof XD;;

--edit--
then again I also get a sneeky suspicion you are none other than... -in put twilight zone music-... Onela is that you? o.o

--edit--
(faves page becuase for once in his life people are standing up to help him) -shifty eyes-

I said I could make sprites, but I'd need some help... Then I stopped asking about making monsters for game and resumed playing it. Then one day I started remaking my Zephyr TZ-90 sprite for fun and realized I didn't know how to finish it and couldn't get ActOR to work, so I thought I'd ask one of the GM's there and they started harrasing me about it.

This sounds more like you were bugging people at Blackout Ro to help you edit client-side files, which they are not obligated to help you with considering that deals with server creation/editing and not server specific in-game technical support.  You're not the first person to claim you're  a sprite maker without finished examples or experience.  This happens a lot apparently.  Just because you download a spriting tool doesn't make you a sprite artist.  I have never played and I do not support this server in any way.  Other things you say about the server may or may not be true, but from what I'm reading it seems you provoked this situation to this point.

[Ambrose Merle]

I did nothing to provoke except offer nicely and ask nicely. They harrassed me, and also what few people who were nice to me there, and they did nothing but play the game. They also harrassed random players. They merely picked on as far as I can tell becuase I stood out the most and actually tried talking to them. Anxiety threatened to ban me jsut for talking to him for example. All I said was hi... Turns out he's done that a lot before too. I have people to vouch, and a apaprently more than I thought. even if I did "invoke" this upon myself, what did everyone else do wrong?

--edit-- to note, I only asked one GM, she told me to ask anxiety which immediately made me panic BECUASE of the fac that every time I sia hi, or can I ask you something, he threatened to ban me. So I asked him ONCE and that's when the harrassment got bad. The previous time was on the forums, none of the ingame GMs replied, and it was a poll of me asking the palyers if they thought having a spritor would be nice. I got insulted on the forums and one moderator who did read it didn't do anything about the rule breaking and posted something kinda telling me to get lost, although I can't remember exactly what he said. So basically, I asked 3 times. one time Iwas pointed elsewhere, one time was the community, one time the GMs. This was over a one month period. This isn't like I was repeaatedly spamming anyone saying "how do I sprite," or "I can sprite." this was me asking once if I should, and twice how to. I DID get pointed to ActOR nicely, but that was by a player who was nice about it. So please rethink that statement : ( Furthermore, that still doesn't dismiss the way they treat other players. exGM-Collin of MemoryRo could vouch for me, but he's almsot always busy. Plus whoever somebody is (noela, sessy, somebody else..?) can also clearly vouch. His/her statement seemed right on the dot to what I had seen.

[asdfqwerty123]

I'm not advocating the way they treat their community.  I'm saying you shouldn't be asking people inside a server how to edit a server's client files.  If you need help creating/editing a server or client-side files you should be posting on eAthena forums or another message board appropritate for modifying server files.  I can't claim to know the situation, but only going by what you're saying it seems like you were asking the wrong people about the wrong things.

[Ambrose Merle]

Ok I think I understand you a little more clearly... but what about the server itself and the other reported issues. Someone made a point to support the rest of what I said, and I know a friend who would also be willing to vouch for me. Could you please look into this server? Just try asking Anxiety a question while acting like you're a newbie, if you don't get threatened, chances are they read this thread and are being careful, or he's being abnormally nice (in which case I'd nearly die of shock.). You clearly have the option to report servers, so I'm reporting one in which the GMs act against their own rules and abuse their power upon the other players and the server itself... and from someone's report it sounds like the server owner HIMSELF might be an unwilling subject of Anxiety's nasty behaviors. Anxiety is probably the biggest issue on that server overall, but that doesn't make up for how the other moderators act as well, nor how the administrator lied about me asking about GM possitions. When questioned about me being a GM I told the whole server on the forums I refused to be a GM if I was ever asked I'd say no and even went into excruciating detail to explain just how much I hated being a GM the other times I was one, and how much I suck at it (which oddly they didn't mock... Well, Anxiety did but you should have been able to guess that by now x_x). It's already been reported for things like spamming so clearly they are doing SOMETHING wrong even IF some of what I said isn't 100% valid. I'll leave it at that, thank you for your time. Oh, almsot forgot, I could probably get the admin Collin (from Memoryro) who I already said was a GM on Blackout Ro... but I siad wrong... Either way I think he could testify as well.... Sessykun might vouch too... but Sessy is kinda.. nuts, angry, and... well he isn't a good person to have on any form of chat, I'll put it like that way ^^; ...once again.. something Collin could vouch for...

P.S. I've never met whoever someone is before so don't go claiming I'm just rounding up friends. I just sent someone a letter trying to figure out who he/she is ^^;

Oh I know how bad it is, Let me fil you in.

1. The admin is 14, and lives in New York, but never gets on.

I think claiming yourself GM-ed there without leaving your name for trace is very irresponsible.  Anyone could claim themselves GM-ed there and say stuff.

[Taikumi]

Hi.
Listen, when you first came here, you were new and you showed interest in something that I have come across many times personally in the past, and that is you just arrived here and then claimed that you wanted to be a spriter and you bragged about how you had been a GM before, but I am not sure what your real complaint is here. If you are mad that the players of Blackout said things that you did not like before I could give you an answer, then I really do not see why you would want to help develop the server for them. If they are so rude and so wrong, you obviously shouldn't be here if you are that unhappy. You were new and it's a thing of mine, to see if people that show interest in those positions will stick around and what they are actually like, before hiring them and I don't necessarily befriend them just because they said they were spriters.
I didn't respond to you about that, but I didn't have to respond to you right away, I have things to do in life and have to take care of the server and do other things. If you went around talking to other players about it and they told you that, I can't stop them and you can't blame me for what people say. You told me you were leaving Blackout, with no complaints and there was nothing really negative. Then some time later, I am browsing here and I see this complaint from someone that couldn't even complain directly to me about all these complaints. You aren't going to get anything solved by writing a huge post elsewhere that you didn't even come to the people of the server about - you just wanted a position, I didn't get back to you fast enough and you turned around and did this, so obviously I was right in not hiring you.
Of course there have been complaints about the server, it has been open for over two and a half years and there have been over 1,000 people coming and going.. Obviously I can't make everyone happy, so of course people are going to complain, so yes, there has been more than one complaint from players of a server, after years of it being up. Now, I hope you have had your peace, but this is my response and if you wish to continue on, I probably will not respond again because I am not going to have some huge dramatic debate on here about you not getting a response about something fast enough. Good luck in the future.

[Ambrose Merle]

OK since everyone including Taikumi got lost (which makes this even more confusing). I'm going to write a SUMMARY~

1. I joined Blackout Ro and the forums.

2. I thought it was a nice place and saw something about someone saying the lwo rate server needed more monsters and remembered I had once upon a time been an attempted spritor, so I posted a poll asking if everyone thought having a spritor would be a fun idea.

3. almsot everyone badmouthed me, one person reading the fact I couldn't sprite on my own suggested a useful tip which I appreciated, and anotehr person shot out randomly that they should have a contest instead.

4. 2007 and some other players started saying "Oh he's just offering becuase he wants to be a GM" so I replied back to them telling them no. Then they questioned me further which outraged me and I told EVERYONE, including Tom, that I didn't want to be a Game Moderator and why. I DID NOT CLAIM TO GM, NOR TO WANT TO GM, NOR EVER ASK TO GM BLACKOUT RO!

5. Everyone seemed to hate me for asking, so I moved on. Until Sessykun started swearing at me and harrassing me when everyone else stopped as well as one other player (can't recall the name). 3 GMs were aware, one of which was GM Collin (who quit the day after becoming aware thus he didn't do anything about it.) and no one took action. Sessy also insulted a few other people, but I'm not aware entirely whom except 2007 and Collin. (2007 was banned for insulting GM-Collin)

6. I played, got bored, and left because after a few weeks I got tried of people randomly firing out at me about wanting to sprite (Please note I never gloated, I said I had the potential and ability to make sprites, items etc, but I'd need the servers support and possibly help. I made it clear I wasn't proffesional and had issues getting the sprite programs to work, thus I'm only able to make frames.). Do to the cosntant harrassment and hasslings from the players, I left.

7. I told Taikumi I was leaving, but I NEVER SAID WITH NO PROBLEM. I don't him quite clearly the community was hostile torwards me and he asked me why he should care. I simply replied that I was telling him this so he'd know, and becuase I wanted to ask him to delete my account, which he refused to do.

8. A friend of mine aked me back about a week later becuase unlike everyone else, didn't see why I was being treated so crudely, and why everyone hated me. After some time she managed to get me back on Blackout Ro so as to help her and we hunted ghostrings, turtle generals, etc, etc...

9. A GM (not sure who) said "Hey I thought you had left," and talked with me for a few seconds about why I had left. It was a female, that's all I know (the female ones were the only nice GMs on the server aside from Collin. No I'm not gender-discriminatory.).

10. Talking with her made me remember my spriting projects and out of curiosity I later that day asked her if she'd be kind enough to teach me how to sprite (in almost that exact wording) and she said "err... you'll have to ask Anxiety about that." Which made me panic. The reason being, everytime I ever heard GM Anxiety speak, he was threatening to ban people for asking questions, talking to him, and other ridiculous nonsense.

11. I asked GM Anxiety how to sprite as a break from hunting ghostrings for my friend and he responded by laughing at me, asking why the hell he should tell me, etc, etc.

12. Not more than a few seconds had passed before I was warped to Nilfeheim which made me jump since I was in Payon field number 4 (which is NO where near nifleheim.). I looked behind me and there were almsot all of the GMs.

13. I joked around for a second by doing an and saying "Ok what did I do now XD" but my joking stopped when GM Anxiety made it clear he didn't bring me there to chat like friends. He started mocking me, insulting me, asking me things like "Why the **** should we care about your personal goals" and telling me that unless if I did it for Blackout Ro they shouldn't care, and then when I said I'd donate (and I meant the sprites) he presumed to tell me they didn't need my money and so forth. He would not let me leave. He finally did let me leave, but he made it clear I was not welcomed on the server and that if I so much as talked to him he'd ban me flat out.

14. I left the server.

-----
Here is what is not true once more about what was said. I did not ask to be a GM. I did not gloat about my spriting abilities, although I did make a point I'm a graphic artist (there is a difference, and it was under two seperate discussions). That's not the big issue though... I do admit I accidentally made it sound like Taikumi is completely responsible for this, which isn't entirely true, although it is his job to take any reports against his GMs seriously.
-----
What the big issue is:

Most importantly: The GMs harrassed me, did not obey the rules, and under clsoe inspection I have found they break the rules often, pull cruel innapopriate planks on the players, and that GM Anxiety has an EXTREME anger management issue which numerous people talk about behind his back (popular gossip 101).

Next issue: A large community was nasty, granted that might have aprtially been my fault, the GMs did not intervene until I started to fight back in which most cases they assumed to take the communities side and laugh at me.
-----
What I want to see happen:

At the very least I want to hear honestly that GM Anxiety is watching his temper since he tends to be 70% of my issue with the GMs (this view is shared broadly. I've heard no positive chat about Anxiety and dozens of nasty comments about him behind his back as a result of his unneccesary bannings, rants, and so forth.).

At most, I want to see the server closed, or reformed so that the community doesn't treat beginners like stepping stools and losers, and so that the GMs aren't able to do whatever they please.
----
The job of a Game Moderator is to be a symbol of responsibility, bravery, kindness, and maturity amongst the server/forum that they moderate, and they are also suppose to uphold and enforce the rules WHILE supporting the rule abiders at the same to time promote good behavior. I failed at this as a GM and lost my temper, which is WHY I don't disclose my GM name. I'm can't even go on Runescape anymore becuase one of the game moderators has my IP tracked somehow and swears at me anytime I try and play it and all reports have been ignored -sigh-... I don't handle stress well, and have thus humuliated myself as an ingame moderator. I still, however, was a better moderator than Anxiety has been, becuase I never lost my temper with a player who was abiding the rules, and I've never pulled ridiculous and nasty pranks on random players that I'm suppose to be watching over, not harming. Don't try looking for GM-Ambrose Merle either, that wasn't my GM name. I will keep it anonymous~ it is not irresponsible, just self defensive. I will, however, admit my mistakes. (Another reason I will not reveal the GM name is because a friend of mine uses it and I don't want anyone going and insulting them as a result of my mistakes. Please be understanding of this.).
-----
Taikumi was no aware I rejoined, but that doesn't exclude the fact I was treated poorly.
-----
Even IF I did gloat about my abilities, spam, annoy, insult, and all that other nonsense as some people are claiming, that does not give GM-Anxiety, nor any other GM on that server the right to mistreat anyone else as a result. I was NOT the only one treated poorly. Beginners, AND veterans of Blackout Ro have been treated poorly in some of the same ways. Whoever "someone" is, they made that additionally clear. The anonymous friend of mine could also state that, and I'm sure others could agree to this. Some serious reviewing needs to be done of this server. I know handling the players would be nearly impossible in this instance, but what of the GMs? If Taikumi will not take action, then someone here needs to. If no one here needs to, then I leave here knowing I tried my best to fix a problem. I did not start this to pick a fight, as a personal fued, to humuliate anyone, nor any other such thing. Games are made to be fun, this is the reason that I post this. When a game is not fun, something is wrong with either the player, or the game. There are probably clsoe to a hundred players who dislike GM Anxiety for his anger, and well over a dozen who were banned by him for false reasonings. He is just one of the issues I have mentioned. The problem is a player, but the player is not me, and most liekly not anyone of those people.
-----
That is all, thank you for reading this.

Sign,
Ambrose Merle.

P.S. I was former GM-Havoc and 5 anonymous GMs (all servers I worked for excluding Runescape have closed down. Once more, I was never a Blackout RO GM. There are about 50 GM-Havocs, so finding me will be difficult, especially since the server I worked on was closed. My other GM names were unique.)

[Onela]

Sigh. I can tell you one thing, Someone is certainly not me. I would not hide. I had some real life issues, that's right; my daughter, who is 5 years old, was off from school for the Summer, so I had to spend time with her outside in the pool and doing outside things.

Now, from what I can see, you are just severely pissed at someone personally for not getting back to you fast enough, but as Tom himself said, he did not have to get back to you right away and he can't control what others say.

1. Tom is not 14, Tom will be 16 within a month. He was 14, 2 years ago when the server started. But, yeah, the fact that Tom young, should virtually prepare people for some maybe not the most mature stuff and sometimes they might act like teenagers and there would be other teenage GMs. If you're really that unhappy with everyone here, why would you have wanted to be here?

2. I am not 'Someone' because they talk about how apparently being from 'New York' is part of Tom's problem, and I am from New York, too, so that wouldn't make any sense.

3. I am not a perfect GM, and I don't appreciate the kind of pressure people put on me for it. If I disappeared for months and had all these issues, then I can't be that wonderful and if part of Tom's problem is being from New York, then I should have that problem, too, no?

It might be true that Tom is younger and does not actively participate with people all the time, but that is very common of an Administrator, you know. He can't come on and enjoy the game all the time since he is always working on it and not that this is any of your or anyone's business, but Tom has a ton of responsibilities in real life that I doubt you could even possibly picture trying to handle, so complaining about how he didn't respond fast enough to you.. is not keen.

Another thing... saying that the other GMs don't do their jobs and I do mine, is really unfair to them and me. When it comes to most things on the server, they do more work now, since I am not really around. Anxiety, who does have a bit of an attitude problem, does SO MUCH for this server, so he kind of has a right to have one. I know he gets out of hand, but obviously if he keeps not wanting to talk to you, you shouldn't keep bothering him? You say you didn't spam or bother people, but asking three times within a month when you just came here, is rude and very greedy and desperate sounding and it's not surprising that people were rude, when others would have been here waiting for such a position. When I am around, I do probably deal the best with people, but where do you think everything else that happens to the server comes from? It comes from them doing their job and working on the server.

I just got the information that you, the apparent Sprite-person, was pestering someone else from the server for sprite-editing tools. Coming here, saying you can sprite and then asking people from the server for their tools, is ... not good and if that got spread around at all, it might be why people didn't necessarily believe you and why they were rude. They have it logged, so they are going to be nice enough to share. I only told this whole post about one person because he asked what I was doing and I said, "Responding to a complaint against Blackout" and he asked for the link and just by chance, it was the person you asked.

I can say personally that the community can be the most supportive community in the world if you are nice to them, that's really all it takes, but of course this does not work with everyone and of course some people you can't get along with. There are people there asking every single day to sprite, script, and be GMs, so when another person comes along and does it, obviously they aren't going to get hired right away. You say you do not want to GM, but if you do not want to GM, why would you have told Tom that you were once a GM? It wasn't to say, "I hated it," you were just letting him know that you had the ability to do the job and then claimed that you weren't interested, you just wanted to help the server? The server that you go on and on and on and on about hating?

I think people need to remember that in a normal game, the GMs are not there to serve you and be your best friends. They aren't supposed to talk to you, and if you ever PMd them asking them to be a GM, a scripter, a spriter, or even to talk to them about nothing, they would never ever ever ever ever ever respond if it was someone they barely knew or didn't know at all. Of course they have friends, too, you kind of need those in a position of stress and serving people, a place to relax and be yourself.

I think you should probably stop stressing out about Blackout, I just read your farewell post there where you threatened people and told them that if they were mean to you after you said goodbye, you would make it way worse for them and then you called them all 'suckers', obviously asking for people to respond to you negatively so that you could do what you did, which would be write 2 more pages of complaints to everyone that responded to you, until it was locked down. You sit here whining that everyone harassed you for no reason, but from what I can see from ALL your posts on the forums, you were rude to everyone, telling people that they shouldn't just kill one person, mass murder is the only real way to go if you're going to kill someone and that going postal on GMs you are mad at is not a good idea, like you did, but instead they should do other things, that you suggested, on the forums, to do to GMs and you wonder... seriously, why the GMs didn't really want to talk to you?

To sit around and whine that no one has the right to be mean to you, is really pathetic, okay? Just because Anxiety is a GM, doesn't mean he can't be mean to people that annoy him. He is a person! We can't expect him to be nice to someone that is annoying him over and over again and KNOWS it, but keeps doing it and then claims he's a victim afterwards.

Also, where ever in the world you got the idea that Sesshy was never banned, is totally off the wall and wrong, because I personally banned him, with fair warnings ahead of time and he knew it was coming. So, please don't let it be said that he got away with everything he did because you have no idea what you're talking about - I am the one that dealt with him a lot of the times when he was doing stuff, not you.

I do not think anyone really wanted a huge recap of your story, and I really doubt anyone will read all of it, to be honest, but.. if it makes you feel better, okay. Tom is not going to respond again, just in case you wanted to know, I will handle this now, since I am the other Administrator and much better at handling people than he is. Obviously you're just going to keep attacking him over and over again, so there is no reason for him to respond anymore, just to keep fighting - Tom isn't like that. He doesn't like drama and he's rarely involved in it, unless it's the personal complaints of people that he isn't doing enough for them personally, but that's how life works. As he said, and I as I have said so many times - we can't make everyone happy, it's not possible.

[Ambrose Merle]

-.- Game Moderators are hired and presented to support the rules. They don't have to be anyones friends, but it IS there job to make sure everyone supports the rules and protect everyone agaisnt rulebreakers. It's not a 24/7 job, but it is their duty. If you can't accept that then you're not a very good GM. As far as the rest of that goes, no comment except that I'm not doing this out of spite. There really is an issue with some things on that server that must be handled. I said what needed to be said, now goodbye. One more thing I will say is that you cannot assume thigns for everyone else. I said what  Isaid having support from people who feel the same way, but I saw that people were confused about some things, so I clarified, if you don't like that, stop reading. Plus, I'm not asking for him to make everoyne happy, I'm asking him to prevent everyone from getting ripped off by a power tripped game moderator or two. If the community is rotten, I get over it; if someone posted as a leader for the community is rotten, I roll up my sleeves.

On the next and final note, EVERYTHING that needed to be said has been said. If you want more people to testify, I can bring them. I cannot, however, bring foreward any better arguments, nor can anyone else here I would assume. Let this be enough. Either make a judgement, or ask for more witnesses and evidence. I'm getting tired of people trying to make the issue out to be me when I keep making it clear this isn't just my view... -sigh-... Excuse me, but I have work to do.

Of course it isn't just your view, people do not get along with people and as many people as you can get for AGAINST the server, I can get 10 times more, that would be FOR the server. Of course people have complaints, I have complaints, too, that's life. You are right, you have said what you needed to say, so I hope you feel better now and good luck to you in the future, dear.

1. It's been a while since I talked/seen Tom, so ya >_> My bad about his age~, I just said he is from New York as a side note, I did not mean anything by it x.x

3. Onela, I didn't say you did more work, or if I did, I didn't mean actual work. What I mean, is you kept the other GMs in check, and watched over the server and made sure people weren't getting out of control.

4. Anxiety has more than just a slight anger issue, it is severe. And if it's because he "Does so much for the server" Which I never saw much of, then he should cut down on it and take time to cool off.

5. At what time was Sesshy banned, because I watched my friend playing some time ago and saw Sesshy as another player.

My only thing to add is Rateaserver can't do anything about the GMs, or how the server if ran. They can remove Blackout from the top 200, but not much else. An Admin chooses how he runs his server, and the only way it could be shut down, restricted, or what not is if They were breaking any laws or the Terms of the agreement that come with owning the server.
Example being -
Charging people to play the server (I think, since The only the creators can do that, it would be copyright)

Oh, and breaking host rules, such as,
Giving false ownership information ( I think)
Removing the player cap
(Some server hosts) Pornography

But ya, unless you're trying to stop people from playing there (Which might work on 1/3 of readers) There is no point to this...

Also Onela, It's just how you are is why I appreciate all you do, you never try to argue, and you're always saying things in a kind manner. Thus I wish you luck to you as well, and I hope you had fun this summer.
