GunZ section update - please all members read

[exclamatio]

In no other game do you see so much ego, so much senseless and childish bickering. I do not want to see this on the forum, what you do / say ingame is your choice, but here you must be civil.

2 moderators have been removed from this section and I will be keeping a personal eye over this section to make sure it stays clean and you guys can focus on development and actually enjoying a game.

I just want to give everyone a heads up that I will be mega strict over the coming days to weed out a bunch of the idiots here. The main problem is the people letting their ego get the best of them. Let me advise you now, your ego does not ever serve you, your ego serves itself and only itself.

In regards to the removed mods we get to see their true character now, were they here for a green name, or are they really here to help develop GunZ? Now we find out ;)

If you have any problems with the moderator team or any forum trouble in general please send me a pm and I'll get back to you asap. I cannot promise I'll reply the same day as some days I am inundated with work. I am also leaving this thread open if you would prefer to chat in public. (this thread will be locked eventually).

Good Work :D

[Phoenix]

Thanks a lot exclamtio. We really really needed this. Mods like Phail / gwx0 never looked into spam threads, threads with abusers, threads posted in the wrong section. Phail atleast showed us his developments and kept us moving but gwx0 simply criticized things. I hope this will make a brighter change in the community. Once a again, thanks.

[Axium]

Thanks alot man...Good to see System32 going strong even after all these years :)

[Number12]

Thank you sir for watching out for us

[Blue_Blast]

Thank you sir.
This ego posting was getting on everyones nerves.

[Linear88]

It's time that this had happened.

I'm not playing snitch, but in my opinion this just a tad bit ridiculous. For all you that just complained about me / Guy (who barely did anything, ecks dee) you also know that Rotana / System32 were inactive moderators and did basically nothing. Now, I see you all complaining but no one realising that me with school & etc I was doing all I could as fast as I could. If you would message me on msn you knew I responded to that thread instantly.

hi theo, I have temp demodded yourself and Guy from the gunz section due to too much bickering.

Rotana has kept mod there for now simply because I have known him longer.

I have been told by a whole load of people that you have been and still are attacking gunz servers, what do you have to say regarding that?

I'm going to post this in your thread for more of a response, but I have not attacked a Gunz server since I became a moderator and owned Trinity. People claim that I do, when all I've done is PLAYED. I'm now a mid tier player at ijji, but if people really want to be that way, I'll stop my development on my emulator.

Now, on the note of Rotana & System32 keeping moderator. I was the only one that actually delt with reports / spammers / advertisers. They have been VERY inactive and when Rotana decides to come back he tries to lash at me telling me to do my job, closing my development thread, and calling it a useless project when I have yet to see him do anything near the scale of an emulator like this.

I'm sorry, but I feel the reasons that I lost moderation were lacking in a true reason, I can keep my ego down, but this is just ridiculous.

[Axium]

Erm, yeah, Phail hasn't attacked a single server for a long time o.O, and I was curious why too.

I agree with fail, and I never saw System32 doing anything but acting like a child, Rotana was inactive and I do not agree with his action in Phail's thread.

I think Phail done a quite good job, but has been misunderstood quite a few times and doesn't ego that much, I honestly think it's just about people not understanding him, as for Guy, wich is less active, but they are both the top contributor to Gunz dev scene.

[Phoenix]

Well yeah Phail did a lot of stuff. Agreed. But Guy has just been nothing more than a critic.

I agree with what Phail says,because the others have been less active than him,System32 I saw on a couple times in a big span of weeks,Guy is just a critic and flames alot. Rotana I saw on once on my time here at ragezone(idk if it's true),and you gotta temp fire the best instead of firing someone you had known longer.

I sent you a pm to keep matters private but I know see I cannot trust you to keep even a simple private message to yourself.

You were demodded for the bickering and nothing else, I have no evidence you had attacked anything since you were an RZ moda and that didn't come into the decision at all.

You don't need to be a mod to develop anything, the forum needs mods to keep it clean so people who want to learn can better get the threads they need without wading through a mile of kids fighting.

Erm, yeah, Phail hasn't attacked a single server for a long time o.O, and I was curious why too.

Doesn't change the fact he did.

[eele]

Thanks!

I'm so happy you came here and gonna do the Rules:) So the threads will be clean again:)

[Kreain]

Fuck no, Theoretical should stay as mod, Rotana should go.
GUY SHOULD ALSO BE HERE, Rotana just makes front of everybody, does nothing to help and has done near nothing ever since 2007

Thanks for finally doing something about this section i hope it goes back as it used to be in 2007 when there where nearly no showoffs / egoists.

[exclamatio]

Thanks!

I'll do my best and before long I'm sure I'll be looking for another permanent mod here to take over

Yeah man me too, there is so much talent here that it upsets me to see ego's out growing any real skill these kids may have had. GunZ hasn't always had ego maniacs, only the kids who joined after it all started. Look at the good old players like kraise, they are respectful people.

Fuck no, Theoretical should stay as mod, Rotana should go.

All mods go through stages of being active and not. If you were refering the dev work, you dont need to be a mod for that ;)

I'm sorry for the bickering it happens everywhere and we all know it. The fact that you demodded me for bickering to inactive moderator who came at me in an offensive manor and kept him as a moderator is just down right retarded. I'm sorry, but as you have seen through everyone else I'm the only one who keeps this section clean & a moderator whose first action in 3-5 months was to come in to me offensivly, close my thread, and then tell me to do my job is just down right improfessional.

This thread is closed, due the amount of spam. I will NOT clean it.

Theoretical Please do you're job in here

All other people stop flaming, and other shit , i will infract the next time. And i will infract for all repleys, so some people will be banned.

That is the direct quote from him, and he complains to me but yet he will do nothing of the sort (I didn't even get to see the pages of spam going on that day). That is completely improfessional as with you keeping him hired because he's your friend.

This is all opinionated I understand if you disagree with what I said, but I did take pride in my work and Gunz development.

~Theoretical.

true story. he may be an asshole at times but he knows what he's doing.

[Phoenix]

Well Phail deserves another chance according to me. He's a great developer and after this, I'm sure he'll work more towards controlling people out here.

[TriumpH]

so whit this settled, who do i ban?

[Phoenix]

so whit this settled, who do i ban?

Lol that was pretty straight forward / to the point! Maybe exclamtio has got it settled. Lets look forward to a new - active moderator.
I haven't seen you post since I joined RZ.
Hi xD.

Telling me someone isn't doing any modding when I have all mod stats from 2003 infront of me is a silly move, Rotana has been modding, like you and like guy. After I saw the arguing and recieved a deal of complaints via pm I wanted to sort it out myself asap because if left you 3 would only argue more, setting a poor example at best to our younger members.

As a mod if you disagree with another mods action you must go to a higher up and under no circumstances should it stay public. This is no secret and is often talked about in the staff section, it even has it's own sticky, which you either didn't read or plain ignored.

I'm sorry it came to this point, but what I do hope is that this is the lowest point. From here we go up ;)

As you are pushing the discussion (common trait of someone with pride) I'll let you see how it looks from my point of view.

After the e-fights had stopped I'm left with a section that has 3 moderators involved, all mods in said section too which is rare. So I weigh things up, I check your activity levels, I weigh up what I know about each mod and decide who is best to keep (a) For the GunZ section and (b) For the Ragezone mod team.

So I'm faced with the following,
(stats dont include infractions)

Rotana
2012 logged actions since August '08
Been a mod the longest
Been a member the longest

Theoretical
224 logged actions since August '09
Is a great developer
but
Has been known to attack private servers
Has said he wont be sharing his developments

Guy
56 logged actions since September '09
Been a mod the shortest

Guy is straight out of mod for now, he has the least activity and I've known him for the shortest period of time. I didn't approve of a deal of his posts I saw but I'm sure in the future if I see character change I'd love to have him back. Of course if that's what he wants too.

As a mod theo I'm sure you'd be great but Ragezone has been built on the free sharing of files to everybody. Did you buy everything you needed from Maiet? Did you create the game? I think you should be a lot more humble. Private servers have always and will always be "underground" we must work together and share what we have. We most definately shouldn't be fighting each other, attacking anothers server in my mind is one of the worst things you can do.

Rotana is the longest standing mod and I've been able to build a level of trust with him. He is far more active than he gets credit for and that is what being a mod entails.

What choice would you pick? ;)

Also if you think for a second my actions here or with any moderator on the team is based on "who I'm friends with" then you are mistaken. I have removed friends from sections before, even personal friends have been taken away from a section if I genuinley thought they were having a bad influence.

It's a case of what is best for the section and in turn what is going to help future development continue. I can see the pride you have in yourself and in your work and pride can be good! Do you have less self worth or less motivation to continue working on the game because your screen name isn't green? If so then your pride is the bad type :P

[Military]

so whit this settled, who do i ban?

Hold your horses..lol.

[eele]

I don't care if the Moderator is a GunZ developer.

We need someone who can clear up the threads and looking for posts that doesn't belong in the thread.
Someone who can help starters.
Someone who can say that you did something wrong before banning.
Someone who's active so much as this forum is down, so hes more online than the forum is, just kidding lol.

umh I prefer Wesman222 I like his comments and hes not so selfish:)
Also Thievingsix should be a great Moderator, but don't think hes that much active.
