okay that makes sense tho i find the titel of the thread misleading
thank you good sir

I'll rename the thread then.

tbh postal we could use more stickies so that people see the sticky topic 'HACKER RANTS GO HERE' and they might just go there without reading the rules.

This forum is hilarious, I really blame the moderators for the number of dumb/annoying/useless threads per hour. It's like trying to empty a sinking boat with a spoon.

So what is your solution to this growing problem, the metaphorical emptying of the sinking boat?

Just the right amount of asshole to backup the power and hilarity. Reminds me of myself (though I am probably unfunny ;_; I like to think myself funny sometimes, each laughing rate making me feel like a little canned laughter track is going off.)

Some friends and me have been playing this game alot. Perhaps too much as some of us have logged around 200 hours testing this game and have tried to be active on the forums to both report bugs and general ideas. I thought that the intention of these forums were for the general population to help the developers. If this is the case, why do you ban people trying to assist you? I see too many people banned for bogus reasons by the moderator "postal". For the sake of this game, I would suggest that Facepunch employ another moderator for the Rust forums. I`m close to giving up on this game because of his moderation.

I dont think I`m the only person feeling this way. I`m creating a poll to see what the rest of the forum think about this subject. I just hope that you arent afraid of voting as I dont think he will ban everyone active in this thread.

The poll will either show that people are fed up with "postals" way of governing the Rust forum or that people like that he keep a very firm hand on the posting. Either way, it might give the owners of the forums an idea of how one of their moderators operate and hopefully deal with the situation.

(User was permabanned for this post ("alt of permabanned users" - postal))

In my opinion this game and forums are corrupt in more ways than one, in game the biggest clans used to be spawned all sorts of shit to destroy the rest of the server (SXG for instance) I was in them just to keep tabs even tho they didnt know)

Several hackers are very friendly with mods (of the game and facepunch) and even speak to them on their team speaks knowing they are hackers (I dont know if this is because they help find hacks/glitches, however they use them on live public realms to ruin thousands of paying customers time) Blackrain = known hacker for several months with 2 VaC bans......

But yes mods on this forum ban people for having an opinion.......if people didnt have opinions then the world wouldn't work. We would still be living in Africa.

ps 700hours since steam..no life maybe so but i know the game and the people :)

It's not about opinion, it's about following the rules. If you didn't take the five or so minutes (8 if you are a slow reader like me,) then you don't deserve to post. Plus the game is on Steam now, it is no longer Facepunch's duty to enforce bans, it is in VALVE's hands. Why don't you make yourself useful and help them out by giving the ol' hacker a report on their profile.

lol what and who are you talking about and why does it at all matter in regards to forum moderation

Yeah we totally ban people for posting opinions, hence the entire forum is empty and nobody is replying (???). All you have to do is read the rules sticky and you can easily avoid getting banned.

You can place as many rules as possible but people will always defy them unless they have no spine, it shows how bad the rules are when more or less EVERY post has a BANNED banner on an account.

Not me. My account has a ban for shitposting (deserved,) quoting a shock image (deserved, forgot to snip,) and flaming (deserved, apologized and reduced,) but not once in my history here have I gotten one for not reading the sticky. I took those eight or so minutes to read the info.

Postal why don't you make 2 stickies

1 for Hacker reports here
1 for DDoS complaints here

I mean i personally don't want to break the rules but i just want a place where i can complain about how fucking annoying it is, Fair enough right? + neither u or the devs will ever look in it but the noobs don't need to know that and i can just pretend you care abotu what i say in there

So long as you can laugh at your own jokes then your on the right path to being happy, fuck everyone else :P

But yeah i guess if the mods wernt so honry to ban people there would be less bans imo maybe :)

Uhh ok? And if people refuse to follow the rules then they eventually get banned lol, that's kinda standard for any forum really.

it shows how bad the rules are when more or less EVERY post has a BANNED banner on an account.

Yeah it's the rules fault people didn't read them, totally nothing to do with people being lazy or anything lol.

We've been a forum for 8 years now with rules as strict as these and we've worked out just fine. All you have to do is read the rules and you won't have any issues.

garry doesn't want tons of stickies and neither do I, so we can't do anything like that. People can find the hacker report thread link in my rules sticky and we don't want any more threads on DDOS complains because they just go to shit.

[PR3SIDENT]

Being a moderator myself on Battlelog... for Battlefield... which just had quite possibly the worst launch ever, I'll say that in the short 2 weeks I've played this game I think the forum mods do a good job of keeping the bulls*it pretty low. Mods need the freedom and reign to be able to make decisions on what's best for the community, not political red tape and procedural doctrine

[Ananda]

Why does this game attract such a community? I've not seen a worse forum spam even on DOTA2 forums, not heard about more hackers even on unmoderated CS or CoD servers.

It's whiny self-entitled kids like these ones above that are pseudo-DDoSing the game right now. Why does this game attract so many shitters? :/

You don't need a brand new sticky, just add a couple lines to the title of the existing one, instant fix!

yeh I guess that makes sense and fair enough on there is a hacker thread but can we have an official off topic or something just so we can let out a bit of steam, I know myself that it would make me feel better about the DDoS if i can just bitch somewhere... even if it isn't a sticky

It's quite amusing to watch the ace mod defend himself from angry drunken dwarves.

I aint no dwarf!!! :P

ps on a serious note tho, what will it get us to constantly barrage him with our opinions, its not like the forums are going to change their rules because a few people have spoken out about how they don't like to be treat like a child :D
To be honest most online gamers wouldnt want to upset anyone (brown noses) if that was the way of the world then nothing would ever improve. In..my...opinion....:D

postal forces me to make a mod under threat of perma-ban. im trapped and its making me violently ill

[Snickerdoodle]

The fact that the Rust section is the only section with members that almost unanimously complain about moderation shows the quality of posts here.

[khowhl]

I like the way the forums are moderated.
Simple sticky threads at the top to inform people how things work here.
Disrespect the rules, get punished. Follow them, post anything you want within the advertised boundaries.

Simple, efficient and it keeps the forums readable.

[LordCrypto]

sometimes if i feel proud of myself i look at what postals done on the internet and feel small

Actually they could use more moderation. We need megathreads to cut down all this fucking clutter. So many people come in here "hey I have a fresh new idea! Add a compass! Add a Map! Add Radar! Make the game easier for me!"

We need to contain all this noise and clutter into megathreads. And the forum users need to start posting with some intelligence, use punctuation and capital letters and proper grammar. Half of the posts on this forum look like 11 year olds wrote them. Though maybe they did...

[KuRioS]

Ive personally been a moderator on a gaming forum and to be honest theese moderators do a great job. Its so hard to moderate a gaming forum since its mostly kids who never even bother to read the rules or search for older posts and just repost stuff thats already been answered. In the end things start to get deleted and alot of threads get locked. Then the butthurt people spawns and the forum gets spammed with shit like this "Why are threads being locked and deleted?" When theres a full valid explanation in the locked threads and in the forum rules.

For thoose who want to ask which game i was a mod for it was WarZ. Ended up quitting as a mod because it was too much of a pain and i thought the game was a badly developed failure.

make the forum background tiled penises thus imposing an artificial age limit on the members who have their parents watch them online?

Well, Daniel Munoz has attempted a few times to get a "Community Speaks" thread set up for the purpose of becoming a megathread for all suggestions, but it doesn't seem to be catching on.
