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

I'd like to see these discussions that happen when rounds are paused cause there is no way it should be taking long af everytime it gets paused. Read the games and make the decision. What the F*** could possibly be taking this many hours?

This round was paused because of questionable games in the last 2 hours of the round. In general, cheating is more likely to occur in the final few hours of a round than at any other point in the round because the stakes are higher then. Forcing the mod/role mod team to investigate and make a decision with about an hour left on the clock is difficult and as such the round gets paused for a day when there is reasonable doubt about the legitimacy of the round's final games.

Hope that clears (at least some) things up.
