Why Modding Sucks

well calvin deserves ERB imo for letting his weeb friends spam and troll
almost 11 years
He did it because he was clearly upset with his GF getting vio'd because he had no action towards any of the rules broken in the game. But after Wetzel got a vio he made sure to go find where caro ogi'd and report that. That is Bias and its blatant and it upsets me

that's literally what i said from the beginning, it's a shame calvin was A. in the game encouraging the spamming and trolling B. doesn't give the obvious GRS vio he witnessed. C. reports me for OGI cause i threatened to sui BC OF THE TROLLING (why is why that poor guy sui'd and i dont blame him)


gotcha, okay. I misinterpreted what was being brought up earlier and for that I apologize.


Whatever dude, this is another thread where good points are brought up, but nothing will happen. We are arguing for no reason

Calvin isn't allowed to do reports from a game he was in, Caro.

There were a lot of mods who read that game and still didn't give a GRS though.

If mods feel like combing through games anyway, let them do it. You shouldn't be breaking rules anyway, maybe that will stop it from happening if you have someone on your **** all the time.

I'M NOT ASKING MODS TO GO THROUGH GAMES AND LOOK FOR RULE BREAKING BUT IF A MOD IS IN A GAME WHERE A RULE HAS CLEARLY BEEN BROKEN, THEY SHOULD GIVE THE DESERVING VIOLATION. IT'S NOT THAT HARD


I didn't want to say it because its something else that is FREAKING COMMON SENSE, but don't go through games looking to vio someone, BUT if you sit there and see it happen, give the freaking vio. Oh my god...


yeah, that is obviously different than say me combing through your games to try and find something to report. That was the behavior I didn't want.

If it is happening right in front of you, do something about it.

Look it this way:

You give someone a violation, there is one upset person.

You don't give someone a violation, they do it again, there are now 7 or 8 upset people.


I have no sympathy for rulebreakers, and a lot of sympathy for people who suffer because of rulebreakers. The latter people are the ones who deserve to not get upset.

There's nothing wrong with doing reports on people that you know if you remain as unbiased as you can

I gave my friend OGI not too long ago and it's not like anyone was going to freak out about it

As long as there is minimal bias I don't see what the issue is

Also, whos bright idea was it to make it so the mods 'only handle reports'? If a mod sees blatant rule breaking, they should hand out punishments, report or not. This is basic modding, I can't believe I even have to make these type of posts to the people with status on this site.


I hate to agree with justrec but just when did this become a thing? I always used to file reports & give violations for rulebreaking I saw in games other than what had been reported, because the rules are there for a reason.


I don't think I ever made it a "thing", I just didn't like doing it. When mods go through games to report one person for rule breaking and not another, it looks bad. I'm just an avoidant person so I don't like going out of my way to get people in trouble.


Are you serious right now? You let people break rules and in turn make the site even more unbearable by letting them get away with it because you don't want to get them in trouble? Why were you even a mod? This is the first time I've actually been made as a result of the EM forums.


because Arcbell asked me to, and then because lucid asked me to.

Mods used to avoid doing reports from/on people they know they're biased (in favour of, or against). And if they didn't, then I'd tell them to avoid it after the first time it became an obvious problem.

How do you suppose they handle people being biased. The only true bias I have seen was Calvin filing a report just because he was upset his GF got a vio. Thats really the only thing that rubbed me the wrong way

I'm glad to see this mooving along nicely. We are about to butcher Rutab.


I'm basically dino-snoring at all of the unoriginal puns

Whereas I prefer to punish & warn people after their first case of rulebreaking so they're less likely to do it again and ruin another game, or upset another 7/8 players.

This shouldn't even be a discussion. If all you can say is 'oh well' to people who give vios to their enemy and not people they are friends with because it's human nature, there is something wrong with you.

The reason this site is the way it is now is because the common thing that we let people do is whatever they freaking want. "Oh well. It happens. Let him be rude. Let him be a jerk. Let him be biased. Let him let his friend take over his mod account. Let him leak internal mod stuff to his friends." This and more is all very, very wrong. I'm not trying to he annoying, a pest, or even a "hero" (which someone recently very weirdly accused me of trying to be)., I'm just telling it how it is.

Quote from the new avengers trailer: you want to save epicmafia, but you don't want it to change..

I just want someone to take what i say into serious consideration, and not immediately brush me aside. As i said, I'm not here to be annoying, this site is slowly crashing down but i like playing mafia so i keep saying this to get it through your thick skulls. We need change.
