Stop abusing the Pause Round key

deletedover 8 years

The feature is there to be used sparingly, so why is it that every single round seems to be paused these days?

We have the role moderators now, so things should have gotten better--they can investigate during the round and prepare pastebins for the mods. So, why is every round still being paused? You have more than enough hands on deck.

I personally think that rounds should only be paused if there is a standing pastebin and someone has been given 24 hours to respond. Other than that, it should be used very rarely.

Rounds should be paused:
22
Only if there is already a standing pastebin
11
Whenever mods darn well choose
7
Whenever mods suspect someone cheated
3
Never

also my evidence was that abc and nevermaf threw on multiple accounts against literally every runner except nighthawk that was in the top 7-10, had been a previous cheater in the past, and disappeared from the site shortly after the trophy

two year old saltiness is always relevant


Imagine, still being mad after a thing that happend 2 years ago.

Thats quite impressive tbh, sounds a bit like its taken straight out of a comicbook. The cheesy supervillians vendetta yknow.

Well I personally fail to see how this is relevant at all to round pauses lol

I really don't know who else it could possibly refer to. I made a lot of mistakes as admin and I'm the first person to admit that, but I did what I thought was best for the site and never would have let someone I thought cheated win a trophy.

i don't think they're referring to nighthawk when they say that, but i don't know what they are referring to

maybe the evidence wasn't articulated properly but they cheated and there was something written proving so.


Maybe I made a mistake, i'll admit that its possible, I'm just tired of people saying that I intentionally let cheaters win trophies as admin because that was not the case. Anyone who won a trophy during my adminship I was convinced either did not cheat, or that there was not enough evidence to suspend them.

Regardless of whether or not they cheated, I'm sick of being slandered as someone who "intentionally let people cheat for PR reasons." that is BS and Slow knows it.

I fundamentally believed that there was not enough evidence.Furthermore I had no problem stepping on Slow's toes, so why would let someone cheat to avoid stepping on toes?

imo the evidence must have been there if me and slow wrote a pastebin and it turned out they actually cheated

The pastebin this round is gonna be great.

The evidence wasn't there. The only thing we really had was something empire told slow about nighthawk cheating in the past. The pastebin itself was absolute s**t.

but they did cheat, and we thought they cheated

You can't just suspend people from rounds because you think they might have cheated.

IIRC I also logged into apeescapers account and found PM's that undermined our case but whatever was in them i've long forgotten. I definitely showed them to slow and the rest of the team though.

Regardless if they cheated, there just wasn't enough evidence to give nighthawk a violation. I spent the whole night with several other mods reaching this decision and I stand by it.

my post was deleted but you're a fraud who let a cheater get a gold trophy because you were deathly afraid of stepping on toes. pausing the round isn't a big deal to anyone except weird people like you


Ah, you mean Nighthawk? Sorry dude, but the pastebin you prepared was absolute s**t.

Thanks for making me stay up all night with RWF and others to clean up your mess with another pastebin that showed there was not nearly enough evidence that she cheated to suspend her from the round, though! That was super enjoyable.
