I don't think Enton is the worst mod ever and while doing some stuff right he unfortunately also goes off track sometimes. One thing I'd like to point out is his occasional mod abuse (yeah, this isnt some stupid trolling), like kicking me from #chat for talking about ingame matters with the poles regarding their language, or whenever he felt annoyed. Kicks from #chat shouldnt be done just because one does not like the opinion of another, valid reasons are spam, greatly unrelated matters, speaking in another language (like arab) for an extended period of time, but surely not different opinions. I feel that Enton is biased regarding the poles, he actively encouraged them speaking polish in the past, wouldnt even deal with it when various players complained, in the end the worst mod had to step in. Another thing are his bans, I feel that he bans people for too long of a time. This was shown in the case of kovio where he permabanned him without giving him a clear time when he would be able to play again, which felt more like toying with him than doing proper mod job. This is the result of a different style of playing, while I prefer more action and PVP Enton seems to see these activities as a disturbance to the server's peace. I don't want him demoded over different views though, its just that he overdoes it in some aspects. Until now I have not been sure whether a demodding was appropriate, since he did his job alright in some matters and most mods are controversial, but if the situation chris stated turns out to be true I don't think it's a matter that should be taken lightly. — areteee 03/07/13

He does enjoy toying with us because he can't stand how close we tiptoe to rulebreaking a lot of the time. The banning-kovio-for-a-month thing was absolutely ridiculous when you consider what he did (which was threaten to kill someone in game, by the way) but how he handled the situation of us asking for kovio to be unbanned was awful. #int, as I know it, is the how you're meant to complain about a ban. However, if any of us mentioned kovio in #int, we'd get kickbanned from the channel.
He's banned me from the wiki for making a vague page on my namespace called “the list” which was a parody because he didn't like the content. He would go on and on about how disrespectful it was for other mods to negate his decisions, but then he would remove people from the PVP list that other mods added, because I would refer to it, and we all know he doesn't like me. — k_chris 2013/03/08 00:00

The “requests” in #int evolved into spamming within days. Not saying that a “kickban” is the appropriate response, but to play the victims here is rather disingenuous. — Bragzor 2013-02-08 00:12 UTC+1

That's not how permabans work.
Also, if his two week ban wasn't lifted by someone else, it could have spared us some trouble. I know that it's very questionable to ban someone for something you didn't witness yourself, but I was pretty sure about that. Other mods just didn't seem to care, or they were even fighting on his side. How is that not biased? — Enton 2013/03/08 00:43
Enton you have a clear affiliation with Onionland, and I don't mind at all, but at least come to terms with it and stop saying you are a completely neutral party. Take sides is perfectly natural in any conflict situation whether it be in real life or online, but taking a side then repeating ad nauseum that you are “neutral” is despicable. While some bans are just, saying you are a neutral party when you are clearly not inflames the situation causing you more grief. Even if you were dragged into a political situation without you wanting it don't say you are something you are not, and try handle the situation tactfully. Right now your pigheadedness is just adding fuel to the fire. — green kitten 2013/03/08 02:35

So you just believe everything you're told now? Not even I did that shit as a mod. You just banned him because someone told you he cheated and now to justify your ban you're assuming the mods that regulated the battle didn't care. Now, who told you that? The other Poles? Well of course, why would we questions the words of the heirs of the Catholic Empire of John Paul II? So to make it clear, you don't want other moderators to overrule you, you say you don't want to overrule other mods yet here you are disregarding a perfectly moderating battle thus overruling whoever took care of the issue first. I'm sorry but you're so much full of bullshit now. I can recognize when someone does what I used to do as a mod and now you're just looking for phony excuses to ban those who annoy you much like I looked for any excuse to ban kovio. — caBastard 2013/03/08 02:48

By the way, the only thing that unites the poles is that they joined at around the same time and speak the same language. There never was a DDoS, just a kid with a bot and a bunch of proxies, and that was solved by moving the server to another port for ten minutes (he didn't even come back afterwards, I was disappointed). The pole behind the lag machine was another one and I didn't even need to ban him, I just told him that he should stop using the lag machine because we don't roll like this here. He has caused no problems since that. And the packet loss/lag issues that the poles had for a while were unrelated network trouble. — tetete 2013/03/08 03:32
Who gives a shit. K_Chris is still unfairly unbanned and you're being to incompetent to do anything about it. — caBastard 2013/03/08 04:24

The poles had broken the server rules and he had done nothing but support it and not ban the whole lot of them as he should have. He griebs people who resist his decisions that are clearly unfair toward them and against the server rules. And no rollbacking the damage does not fix the problem, that you did it our of butthurt towards my lawful attempt to remove the onion people who build near my settlement/and within muh nation(while being helped and supported by you in this evil/unlawful endeavor) with a clear purpose of trying to provoke me and trying to get me to admit their right to be there and give them some shitty enclave to spread their potato talk from. As everyone you either follow the rules bout war or you get a permission from me to build in New Finngolian clay. -venomthrope-


Expecting this server to be moderated intelligently.

The staff is a fucking joke. — vlad 2013/03/08 09:16

@V1ad: Including even you? caBastard: always watching, alway judging, never playing xD — Rosenmann 2013/03/08 10:17

@caBst: What else would you expect from someone you banned for very similar shit like three or four times before? Accusing me of being biased seems to turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy for some. Violating rules doesn't make you popular.
Also, I shortened the ban to six days because I banned him for two weeks before I left. — Enton 2013/03/08 11:52

What I've read in here so far doesnt justify banning K_Chris on mere account of some “witnesses”. If there is no proof, there shouldnt be a fucking ban (when in doubt, for the accused). Either the poles provide screenshots or video evidence of Chris flying in battle or whatever the fuck you banned him for, or you don't ban if there is insufficient evidence. Since the battle was observed by a mod each time - and no mod would disregard the rules enough to not ban a cheater abusing in front of them in a battle - and you havent posted any proof yet, I kindly request K_Chris to be unbanned. The issue here isnt even if the poles are some sort of entity or shit, its the way Enton dealt with this situation, namely banning someone while trusting a party whose interest is contrary to K_Chris (and even if it wasnt, thats not enough). — areteee 2013/03/08 15:57

What else would you expect from someone you banned for very similar shit like three or four times before?

It's not about what you should expect from them but what we expect the mods to do and that is giving a fair ban. Had K_Chris done something or not is not up to you to decide considering you didn't even presence the event. Is up to the mod present at the time to make that call.

always watching, alway judging, never playing xD

Who would want to play in an admin-neglected server? — caBastard 2013/03/08 18:57
