Not cool at all.

[~~T~~]

WOW COOL there is a proof with Wings there!

[Denia]

Wow ... why would you PM me that, with no information and then post on server hall of shame? I had just responded that if you give me information on that player, I would warn them and speak with them too.

Just like what others say when their players, I cannot control what my players do on other servers. I can warn them against it, but how am I to take action towards them?

It's just like what you were doing the same thing on my server on your forum account and posting in your guild section with "I'm leaving for BunnehRO, See you guys on BunnehRO, Come play on bunneh!"

But it would have to also be concrete evidence that it was a player of Anthem before I can even warn them. Because who knows? What if it's someone just out there to ruin our name? (Not like there's much to ruin left since everyone hates us anyways...)

What if someone hated your server, and went around to others and said to join Bunneh just so that it would have a bad image? Or what if one of your players did that and someone went and posted this in the server hall of shame, wouldn't you be a bit irked about it since you can't really do much about it?

PS. Why is the image cropped? o_O

Yeah, I would have to agree, first contact the admin from the other server, and show them the information about the player (assuming they didn't proxy) otherwise it just seems unfair --- Though, judging from both your comment and Denia, it seems you both have a history going on ...

[Smfr]

Good translation was made as best as possible it's true I'm français.Si you see this player please banissez the insult because it is a good sniper bah read the message (I am kororo him c ' east Afri)

Africa: Go dirt s*** gonna f*** your son reum dog
Africa: your reum I go right back money you file your
Kororo: bravo beautiful mature-_-then Smile
Africa: go blunder made Batar

Now that's just a player misbehaving, report it to the server directly.

(Je sais pas ce que tu essais de dire exactement mais ton post fait pas beaucoup de sens, envois ta plainte a ton serveur directement.)

Yes, there was some history, which could not have been helped.  Unfortunately though, unless there is consent from Cady or the other person(s) involved, I cannot disclose anything as all players, deserve a bit of confidentiality (to an extent of course, unless they really don't care for our rules and break them over and over BECAUSE they know they have confidentiality). 

Things were remedied, and Cady began to play back on our server again some what of.  But the problem is with this report, was that Cady had PMed me with the IP of the offender, and this IP did not show up on our server at all.  Upon finding that out, she had posted this as well.  I believe I even showed her our control panel and me looking up the IP?  I don't quite remember, I'm a bit unsure of it.

I'm a  little confused as to what Smfr is saying though, Pandora can you translate?  Did something happen to this player on Anthem?  Please let me know so that I can advise.  Thank you!

Sure, I'll give it a try, he says:

"I did the best that I could to translate this, I'm French. If you see this player please ban because he insulted, he is a a good sniper(?), well just read the message (I am kokoko and he is Africa)

<conversation>"

They don't mention which server this occurred on. Can always check if those 2 characters exist to confirm it.

[Shinae]

Seems very normal human behaviour to me. There are people out there that does things like this.

It doesn't make server bad because there is an idiot or two who does this. Different thing would be if admins of server told players to advertise their server this way. But unfortunately you really can't prevent these things and you really can't say who to blame.

Thanks for the translation Pandora. I checked and none of those characters exist. But they might be the short handed version or the spelling is different and the player doesn't remember. ._. I can't check without the proper information >_<

Why is this thread still here? Its not fair to Denia.

[philanthropy]

yeah

[Guest]

just flame the thread like most other GMs do and it will be locked and sent to the archives

wonderful way of thinking you seem to have,

but this topic, has no where else it can go to

[philanthropy]

wonderful way of thinking you seem to have

[Head Monocle of DOOM]

Philanthropy you should be mindful that you said that to a Global Forum Mod dude. >.>

[Scars]

Seriously, why can't mod understand, the idea to have your server name listed in this server gives bad impression to the server.

Much or less, that is solid fact.

It is called "SERVER" Hall of Shame for a reason, not "PLAYERS" not General hall of shame, but "SERVER", "Server Hall of Shame" IS in another words "Shameful Servers"

The post is not valid to the topic BECAUSE its not about a server, its about a private individual advertising a server in a shameful behavior, it has entirely nothing to do with the server's behavior and its not fair.

My argument is totally civil and fair, you can't dispute that, don't forget the fact that this post is totally UNIMPORTANT to anyone, because its about 1 single shameful behavior of an RO player, one of the millions out there.

1. You can leave it the way it is, disregard the fact that is "Unfair to the server", in reasons that it doesn't fit anywhere else.

But if you willing to discuss, my suggestion is remove "Anthem RO from the title", one easy solution would be keep it "Server Advertising", that way people at least would have to read the post to know what server.

Or open a new section for shameful behavior of individuals, and keep this one in regards to SERVER only, which what the title claims to be. Which really will make the thread more interesting.



If I am getting on mod's nerves I apologize, but I fight for what I think is right, I believe I am only fair, and all my arguments are civil.

To others who replied or would like to reply further here, I ask to please keep it civil and clean so we can have a decent discussion and this thread won't be locked -.-

Cheers.

I tend to agree with that. It's indeed a "Server" Hall Of Shame.

The Guidelines clearly say "- Your report in this section is nothing more than to warn others about the practice of the server in discussion".

Practice of the server in discussion, not the players of it. GM's can't keep control of everything their players do outside the server.

I'd say either delete the topic or rename it + move it to regular Server Discussion. Leaving it here gives the server a bad name for something that's not their fault.

[Pow]

This section is to separate the RateMyServer.Net report on server who are violating our Terms of Services and need a look into vs those other report of servers that are just out of their mind but has nothing to do with RateMyServer.Net.

- Global Forum Guidelines apply in this section

In addition:

- Your report in this section is nothing more than to warn others about the practice of the server in discussion
- Your report in this section will not be an official report to ratemyserver.net
- If you believe the server you are reporting is in violation to our Terms of Services, you may report it in the GENERAL SERVER REPORTS SECTION

Example of reports:

- custom stealing
- site stealing / ripping
- player stealing
- admin betrayal
- extreme corruption warning
- etc ...

Taking into account the above and also considering the fact that the thread starter was a guest, the topic name has been changed to reflect the actual report.

-Pow

Thank you for changing the title on this, and those who contributed to the discussion, it is much appreciated.  Sadly, this sort of thing happens on just about every server IMO and, sometimes, are just malicious acts to defame another (not saying that this one is, it just sometimes happens that way.)
