How about a lock on this thread now?

How about we implement the suggestion now?
Sep 19, 2015 greenwall link
Or, a better alternative would be to not impliment it.

Again, I gotta say, I still reckon go with the full treatment. As far as I can tell, instances of abuse were dealt with, and Greenwall made a good point. 1 player /ignoring a douchbag does not dissuade douchbaggey. Complete , temporary ostracization does.

VO has no "Moderators". We have been given tools to self-moderate, and should use them as intended.
Sep 19, 2015 Savet link
But Faille, people don't get /vote muted for guild/group behavior. They get muted for behavior on 1/100/public channels.

Greenwall's argument completely ignores the point that blocking them from 1/100/public channels provides the impact to dissuade future behavior. There is no functional benefit to blocking them from guild/group, and leaving it in place only opens opportunity for abuse.

I don't see your point Faille.

If you're going to be a douchebag in GUILD CHAT, then it is up to the GUILD to moderate it. Not the public /vote mute command.

This is the first time I've seen you take a side that doesn't make sense.

Congratulations Greenwall, by popular vote in this thread you won this prestigious award:

Stay strong, Faille!

Might I also point out that nobody commented on my excellent alternative means of dissuading /vote mute abuse. It keeps the bite that /vote mute has and disincentivizes abuse of it... a win win.

I like that suggestion too Greenwall, but the two should be implemented in parallel rather than as one or the other.
Sep 19, 2015 Pizzasgood link
Yeah, I'd +1 that one too.
Sep 19, 2015 greenwall link
No they shouldn't. Kierky and the rest of you are worried about it being abused. Cut out the temptation for abuse and you have what you want. This not-muting-guild-chat crap weakens the /vote mute in exchange for Kierky being able to run his third party plugins.
Sep 19, 2015 Savet link
You dropped your card again...
Sep 19, 2015 Kierky link
This has nothing to do with your plugins. Will you get over that? What has plugins got to do with muting?

Nothing you've said has any proof greenwall, nor does it make any sense, when there is no downside to this being implemented. Or maybe there is, because it limits TGFT's only tactical ability to mute people they don't want co-ordinating. Maybe I should pay for 10 accounts and mute you guys forever? Then we'll see who will be asking for this.

And for your information, Bojan is correct. SKV doesn't have the numbers to instant vote-mute people. So kbireta must have pissed off the community, not just us. Get your head on right.

This has everything to do with plugins. You are pissed because TGFT muted you and your IRC bot in retribution, cancelling your ability to talk to anyone in game and this is your way of getting back at them. Grow up.
Sep 20, 2015 Kierky link
I don't give a shit about that. My retribution is a guild wide KOS for them and you. Deal with it.

If you can't think straight and have an argument based on the merits, then piss off, you don't belong here if you can't stop your in-game ego from making you argumentative for the sake of RP.

+1 to Kierky's reply
Sep 20, 2015 greenwall link
You absolutely give a shit about it. TGFT blew off your demand for an apology and one day later you put up this post. Hardly a coincidence. If you can't see I've argued the merits clearly and succinctly then something is blinding you -- my guess it's the same thing that makes you think TGFT or I care about your KOS: your overblown ego. Possibly Savet's cards are blinding you too -- I'll admit they are hard to look away from.

No, you *want* me to care about it, there's a difference.

If I don't care about your TGFT brigade of morons, you have no power, but clearly I've affected you so much, you feel that you need to come in on a reasonable, and clearly needed suggestion; to turn it into a flame war because you think you need to be heard.

It's not all about you, and all you have provided is a bunch of fallacies and conjecture, totally unrelated to the suggestion at hand. When you come armed with real facts, kindly refrain from blowing hot air out of your ass and return to the thread, less an ego.

Or is being an asshole so ingrained in your nature that you simply can't help yourself anymore? No wonder you're opposed to a suggestion which will give assholes less power.
