Goodbye to all my friends..

[MrsBurks 0]

First of all, I'd like to appologize in advance for writing what appears to be a short book. However, I feel like my explanation for quitting should be heard, in order to let other players know how the admin and mods really treat their good players.

 

As you may already know, I am MrBurks' wife, and if you know him or seen him around, you probably will know he has not had a very good ban history. My ban history, on the other hand, is nearly perfectly clean. I decided that I would like to become a mod and sent my application to the 3 recruiting mods and Bruce Lunga as well.

 

My first reply to my mod application was from one of the recruiting mods, saying that I was not high enough rank to become mod, and that mods needed to be at least 2nd leutenant in rank. I am only warrant officer 5. I understood, but quickly called out that if such a rank requirement existed, why wasn't it listed on the "How to become a chat moderator" thread? I received no reply to that question and still no rank requirement was listed on the thread. At this point, I assumed that until I reached that rank, I would not be considered for chat moderator.

 

The next morning, I checked the forum and realized that I had been given mod during the night and was estatic. I knew that I had potential to be a great mod and had a high drive to do so, as I have minor children that played this game as well. Upon logging into skype, I seen that Bruce Lunga had sent me messages saying that I had been given mod and that he would pass my username to the rest of the mod team and that someone would contact me or that I could contact one of the 3 recruiting mods.

 

All day that day, I tried to contact those recruiting mods, but none of them would ever respond to my messages. Late that night, I still had not received a response, so I decided to go to bed and try again the next day.

 

The next morning, when I checked the forum, I realized that my mod had been taken away. When I checked my skype, I had messages from Bruce Lunga again saying that he needed to talk to me and to message him when I got to my computer. When I messaged him, he told me that normally when a player applies for mod, they are voted on by the other mods, but instead of doing that, he just added me as mod himself. Then he goes on to say that because my husband, MrBurks, had insulted some of the mods, my IP had been blacklisted and that he had been trying to contact me in the night to prove that me and MrBurks were indeed 2 different players using the same IP. He claimed he had wanted to speak to me on the phone so all the mods could hear me, but since I was offline at the time, they went ahead and voted. Of course, I was voted off. None of the mods really knew me, so it had to have been based on MrBurks' reputation. Might I remind you, this was 4:30 AM and I was asleep!

 

In my opinion, it wasn't my mistake, making me mod without following the correct procedures, so I should have been given the benefit of the doubt and given an opportunity to prove that I was fit for the job. Instead, mod was yanked from me because I wasn't online at the time they wanted to do their voting.

 

Everyone that has heard my story so far has been shocked that they have treated me so unfairly and I feel like people should know. They keep saying they need mods, especially English ones, and aside from my husband having a bad reputation on this game and us having the same IP, there is no reason I should have not been given a chance. As I told them, if it was taken simply because of MrBurks' ban history, that is not fair to me. He is a grown man and I cannot tell him what he can or cannot do on the game, but I was punished because of his actions.

 

In conclusion, I would like to tell all my friends that I have met in the game thank you for all the help you have given me in the game and for being the great friends you are. I wish you all the luck in your future endeavors.

mrs bruks ..

may be u can send pictures to admins about ur family so they trust ur a family !! and u all using same IP

how ever i hope you change your mind :) fare well

[r_Xenonzx0 10]

ok yes I read the whole comment

my question: Did you try again to show that you and your husband were indeed two different people,

did u send them another request and told them you would provide sufficient proof to back up your claim?

also, in the end you state Goodbye to all your friends

does this mean that you are quitting tankionline JUST because of the fact you were not elected as a moderator?

No, I did not try to prove again that me and my husband were two different people, because I was told since they already had voted me off by the time I got online, it didn't matter at that point. I couldn't be mod.

 

No, I didn't request again and tell them I would provide sufficient proof, because of the same reason. I was told they had voted me out and I could not be mod.

 

Yes, it means that I'm quitting, but not because I'm not mod. I'm quitting because I strongly feel I was done wrong and treated unfairly and I will not support a game that treats me in such a way. Why would I want to even be a part of a game that treats it's players in such a way? And why would you or anyone else?

I've contacted Bruce too, and when two accounts are on one IP adress, they are the same, by the Official Tanki Online Rules. Because of that my dad can't become a moderator neither, and we're all stuck. Just like the administrators who are ruin the game by accepting no one,

ok valid enough points (if that means once the mods have voted on you, they cant do so again)

to answer your last question

i am still apart of this game because they have not done me any wrong yet

Okay, I understand your point. My point, however, is that if they will do it to someone like me who doesn't cause problems on the game and helped them a lot by doing my part and reporting hackers, why wouldn't they do it to you or any other player? You might say they haven't done you wrong yet, but tomorrow, who is to say you won't be in my shoes? What about standing up for what is right? You do what you want and I'll respect your decision either way. I just wanted to tell my story.

[r_nuclearbom0 62]

I think because of this, the moderatorship has failed!

[r_Xenonzx0 10]

Ok Mrs.Burks

I respect your decision to leave the game and I have nothing to do with it so i wont pester you

i was just trying to convince you otherwise

also, if any moderators see this, mind making a thread where u ask English speakers to fill out a form like they would when joining a clan

and then from those you choose the likely contenders and select from there

i think that would be much easier

Why at a clan:?:

[r_Xenonzx0 10]

Why at a clan:?:

i meant an application that you would fill in if you wanted to join a clan

it would contain;

Name:

Age:

Country:

Why you want to be a moderator:

Ban history:

 

and more

There is an such an application for it. You can find it here. http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/54834.page

[r_Xenonzx0 10]

ok thanks

they increased it to 21+

when?

[Tommy60 406]

MrBurks, your husband, has had a very reprehensible ban history. Seeing as he is your spouse, isn't it obvious that the two of you would exchange accounts at some time or another? Letting you be a mod, in my opinion, is giving the same privileges to your husband.

[Slash595 10]

I think because of this' date=' the moderatorship has failed![/quote']

:shock: oh my god, your right, i better find a place to lay low... how about here? but i agree with your statment Mrs.Burks... the mod's have been er... abusive...

[skitee 555]

MrsBurks, I agree with you in some way. I personally think that, yes, you should have been given a chance. It would have been beneficial for the forum and the community, IMO. Your post seems mature, and I am pretty sure that you would not be one to abuse mod powers. HOWEVER....

 

I don't see why you should be given "the benefit of the doubt". Everyone else goes through the normal procedure... why do you think you should have special treatment? What have you done that has earnt that special treatment? The answer: nothing. I'm sorry to hear your tale, but everyone else goes through the normal procedure. If you got voted off, then you got voted off. Everyone goes through the same procedure. Why do you think you should be treated differently?

 

As for IP, I am quite sure that IP numbers are different for each user account on the same computer... (I would like someone to correct me if I am wrong) and that that can avoid the IP address issue.

You offer a valid point that I had not thought about and I completely understand. However, he has never used my account. I only wished there was a way to prove it, though it doesn't even matter now.

You seem to be (much) more mature than your husband, and I would not mind you being a moderator.

 

However, is there any way that you can prove that your husband will never go onto your account? I can't think of any. =/

skitee,

 

It isn't that I think I should have special treatment and other's shouldn't. My point was that the admin made the mistake of not following the correct procedures, but I was the one punished for it. I also know that, had it gone through the correct procedures, it probably would have ended the same way and I would have not been assigned mod regardless. However, it's just the morals that I'm more focused on. I was punished because of my husband's actions and should have never been assigned mod in the first place. But, because an admin didn't follow the correct procedures and placed me as mod without voting first, I should have been given a chance to prove my worth. It was just wrong in the way it was handled, in my opinion.

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, I can't think of any true ways of proving he would never get onto my account.

[Nk100_Original 13]

there is the possibility that they will do mod again (this time correctly)?

[Reiki12345 57]

To be honest MrsBurks(others too) your like babies waiting for candies. :roll:

Why you just dont sit down and play game and have fun(just like all normal people)instead fighting with staff of tanki.

They are the ones who decide to let you in or let you out. :roll:

I mean 5 year old child would know that,but you walked into the situation where is no way out and of course you decided to "quit".

If you have not entered in this kind of situation you wouldn't quit right now,you would still play tanki,and have fun witch is more valuable than arguing with staff. :wink:

I appreciate your opinion, though I must say, I was not smart or rude in anything I have said in this thread and would appreciate you having enough respect to do the same.

 

Aside from that, I agree with what you are saying to some degree. It all did start out as fun, until I felt I had been done wrong. It is my choice to stay or quit and I chose to quit. Why is that such a problem for you?

:lol: nice attempt

MrsBurks = MrBurks

I´m only stating the obvious.

Sadly, you are terribly wrong. For one, MrBurks can't spell and has no grammar skills. I'm only stating the obvious.

 

But you can believe what you want. If it was that important to me, I'd prove that we're 2 different people, but it isn't and neither is this argument.
