My Problem with Alora Staff - Part 1

Part 2

Here's how staff used to respond when people questioned why GIMs were buying/selling bank on Forums






Here's how staff respond when I suggest fixing it on Forums




They penalize me for baiting and flaming, when in reality, they're the one's doing it.




Here's an example of global moderator Logan liking the flame/bait, instead of actually doing his job and removing it. The comments have nothing to do with the game suggestion regarding buying/selling ironman banks. I reported the comments days ago and nothing was done. They all ignored it until I left this comment, which promptly got deleted.


I had to get a warning -> show proof of staff bias -> get my proof deleted -> just to get the flame bait/hate directed towards me removed.

On my other posts, you have people deliberately copy and pasting "no support" comments and none of them get removed even when I report them


Why? - They're ex-staff or friends of Logan/Not Shadow - Or maybe they just share Logan/Not Shadow's point of view - who knows? - either way, someone isn't doing their moderating job very well

How is it that staff will remove off-topic comments on a Trading GIM bank post, but not hate/flame bait comments on a Trading GIM bank suggestion?

It aint that deep. You're clearly just trying to stay relevant now. 

 

What a joke. 

 

+1 for the staff team.

[Selenagomez]

I posted my no support and reasoning of my no support, i did not tell anyone to copy paste im not sure why im mentioned in this.

Not gonna lie Alan, the importance and attention that you give to certain aspects of a literal RSPS with a community of 300ish people is starting to become worrisome... I get being frustrated or feeling wronged but the extent you take things is very disproportionate. You are also replicating the same actions you're criticizing people for. You're fishing for reactions and flame while pointing out flamebait from others. The replies on your GIM items post, this whole post talking negatively about staff, the "ruck staff" status, you've made the "Posting Disabled" thing your forum pfp and signature... it just doesn't make sense.

You're trying to become a martyr to a pointless cause. I respect being passionate about things but sometimes you just gotta let it go, man. This is one of those times.

just shut up man

[45]

way too many transfers, would make less $ for server. no support

[OzyNaMdies]

what the fuck are you yapping about. 

If you had an issue with y, x or z staff member you would and should report them to the higher ups aka admins, but here you are, doing your best to stay relevant in the community, personally attacking certain mods.

you're just trying to show everyone, why it is that you had your ability to post removed.

Lets get right into it.

 

My Problem with Alora Staff - Part 1

Here's how staff used to respond when people questioned why GIMs were buying/selling bank on Forums

 

 

 

 

 

Here's how staff respond when I suggest fixing it on Forums

 

To add context to these two infractions:

Infraction 1 - You received a warning in a thread about selling GIM items, where your reply had nothing to do with buying/selling/negotiating with the author. The rule you broke was listed in your warning as seen in the image.

 

Infraction 2 - You received a warning in your recent GIM suggestion thread, where one of your replies was flame baiting To Gain for some weird reason and relating it to that nex penguin situation that happened a while back.

 

I'm not sure how you're trying to connect these two warnings together to be honest, I'm confused.

I'll come out and say this was not handled well at all. We're discussing it/discussed it and I hope it doesn't happen again. Not much to add here. Apologies from the staff team.

I don't see the issue here. Sure, they're copy pasting a response, but it doesn't break any rules. We're not going to start punishing people because their replies are the same/similar(you might see a lot of those in introduction threads).

 

To conclude, here's a little insight.

 

Between the time you got post restricted and until a few days ago, about a year give or take, we probably punished a handful of players on forums for stuff such as spamming. 

In the past few days, literally every report has come from your threads. 

 

 

Perhaps some self reflection is due. Every time there's some "drama"(if that's what you want to call it) you're always at the centre of it. First with that realism suggestion thread, then that nex penguin drama, and now this. 

 

I also find it ironic how you mentioned that "someone isn't doing their moderating job very well" in regards to removing those copy pasted replies, when you were spamming bug reports in the suggestion section literal days ago and told us to fuck off when we asked you to post them in the bug report section.

 

Once again, sorry for not removing those flame bait replies sooner. We'll jump to action much quicker next time.

 

I find it cringe that it's 2AM and I'm writing essays. Everyone just needs to grow up tbh.

[Realmungard]

Yes i saw this.

Stop pming this link to me.

 

 

 

Thanks,

im always for having a non biased/neutral approach and will hold any point in the hierarchy accountable for actions or general re-evaluation.

as of right now, technically nothing needs to be addressed even tho yes the spam rule on forums is implemented harshly (i too was recently infracted for spam for supporting a post that wasnt elaborated on) but in saying that, the effort saves us from alot of bot spam for example.

my issue with the spam filter essentially causes people who would of typed a generic 'current spam worth infraction' to an over-elaborated response by looking more 'interested' in said topic to avoid infraction.

[redcar]

yes we should take away logan's moderate status

[gim crohn]

There's no way within 48 hours of me arguing that cringe isn't a crime and that you should be able to post - you post even more cringe. I respect the dedication brother, but my boy you ain't helping yourself or any cause here.

[Linkki]

Thank you for the feedback.

[Trash Iron]

You're reaching with this post, Alan.

They're a group of volunteers on a RSPS, this isn't a job. There's been times the staff team hasn't been perfect (I direct this to all ex-staff as well, not targeting current), but honestly do you truly expect them to?

May be time to unplug a little and come back with a different perspective.

[Dozer]

You're like one of those detectives who get fired and fill their walls with photos and spiderwebs of yarn.

[Folivora]

Pretty much always been on the sidelines with staff-posts, but damn, this was an interesting read!

[Formula One]

Damn, credit to you Alan.
You’ve made a bigger Paragon revival in this thread than what Selenagomez and 45 could do in-game.
Though I’d like echo Sicily point, it was a good laugh at the beginning but now it’s becoming a worry.

Worry all you want.  It's a role-playing game.  Why you getting worked up?

What's wrong with the "Ruck Staff" status anyways?  4th Place in Leagues baby!

top tier shitposting, you can see its all for attention as bro says "stay tuned for" as if he is cooking something. Fantastic stuff man keep it up

[Real Alex]

Hilarious how the same people take the bait over and over lmao it's like shooting fish in a barrel. Some of you just can't help yourselves, can you? How nice of Alan to give paragone something to rally over
