Changes in The Moderation System

[semyonkirov 29,038]

 

Hello, tankers!

 

For the last several months we've been working on changing and improving the principles of moderation. We understand that moderation is not just about maintaining the order, it's largely aimed at helping specific players and the community as a whole.

 

That's why the old system has been reworked:

• Players get banned according to the severity of violations (day ban for minor offences, week for serious swearing and month for racism, family insults, real-life threats and so on) regardless of the number of previous violations;
• However, after getting a total of 50 bandays (starting from the moment when the new system comes into force, i.e. today, April 21) measures get one step more serious: week ban for minor offences, at least a month ban for serious violations.
• Players that have already had a month ban in the old system are considered to have 30 bandays in their karma. Those who have already had a 6 months ban have 50 bandays.
• Upon getting to 100 bandays, a player gets banned for 6 months for any violation, except for the most minor ones.
• Using alternative accounts to trick the system in order to continue violating the rules of the game is an aggravating circumstance.

This is just the first step to complete change in working with the community. We want players to understand that one should always treat others with respect and that insulting and offending other tankers means showing weakness. We understand that changes like that can only be started from the above, from us.

 

This is a big challenge we are willing to accept in order to make the game better for you, our players.

Third. [EDIT] OK, someone beat me too it. Not so much third. I hope it works, but what I think we need is a better way to make sure the bad players get banned in the first place. The problem isn't that people are banned too long. I think the problem is all the mults/haters never get banned in the first place.

 

Currently, the only ways to report someone are to:

1. Use the /vote playername, and hope a mod shows up and does something about it. In my entire tanki career this has never worked once.

2. Take screen recording, play with it on(this will reduce fps, and 'free' screen recording software isn't necessarily good for your computer) and send the video of the mult/player to this forum.

 

Could this game have some sort of an in-game reporting system, where instead of the /vote playername command, that has never solved a problem for me, we just maybe select the name of the player, and the system automatically records their behavior and recent chats for a mod to look at later? The mod could look at their behavior, and if it was repeated friendly fire, or pushing friendly snipers off, or blocking people with the enemy flag, or posting lots of inapproriate things or whatever, it could be easily verified and the apporpriate ban handed down.

 

This system would mean that:

1. People would very rarely, if ever be banned for something they didn't do. Assuming the mods do their job, all bans would be correct.

2. Mults/haters would be banned. People would start reporting them, because instead of almost no chance something would be done about it, there would be a very high chance that player would be banned. This would really improve gameplay.

3. Mults/haters would die out. Accurate, quick, and universal reporting means that they would quit trying, or else not be able to except in noob accounts, because their higher accounts will be banned if they mult

 

This would result in the bad players, haters, and mults actually getting banned. And they would die out almost completely because their behavior could be easily verified.

 

[EDIT]

 

Wait, so  permaban can never happen now? Oh NO....

Nothing special

[MrTactics 219]

It's extremely unlikely I ever get banned,but seriously I think this proposed system is a bit harsh. So if I accidentally have my keyboard jam or something, I get a day ban straight?? Is that really just, 5 minutes or an hour at most is fair enough.

 

I also don't like this day ban that adds up, you're telling me if someone gets a flood ban (everyone has had this by accident) 30 times in there whole tanki career from recruit to gissimo, they will get a week banned for the next one?

 

This needs to be re-considered.

I'm scared

[SharpRaZzor 377]

ok

[SwiftSmoky 8,445]

I hope flood doesn't count here, because many times happens that players write very fast and get a warning for flood or even someone says "noooooooooooooo" and gets banned for it. flood is too common to happen by mistake.

[ExplosionsEverywhere 196]

And the system gets harsher :P

I'm safe -.-

If you said that on a chat, straight one day ban. Do you think that's good now?

[Hert33 6]

Ok

[VSOwen1225 5]

Interesting.

[ZachPadda11 54]

Great! I think this is good.
