Cautionary Warning

Hello Readers, Today we'll talk about Forums, Forumers, Trolling , sGE Community Crews and SEA Granado Espada Forums. First of all if you're not into internet jargon and the such (which i doubt , but anyway..) you'd ask "what are these things?". Good quesiton~!

Forums, a forum is an online discussion board. A place where the gamers of SEA Granado espada discuss topics and such with other gamers, moderators, community crews and the company staff of the game itself.
Forumers are the posters the members of that forum go there to discuss topics with everyone else. Normally they are the players of the said game.
Trolling, troll is an internet term for a person who willfully, through obscene, offensive or hateful actions (a.k.a. "trolling"), attempts to disrupt a community or garner reactions, attention and controversy.
sGE Community Crews, they are like normal members but they have a special connection with the moderators and the company staff. Normal players/members can apply for that position so they can further help the community.
SEA Granado Espada Forums or better known as sGE Forum. Is an online message board for the game, like any other message board or well "group" it is composed of different people and different views.



You might wonder "why do you want to talk about this maki?" , ah nice question. For some time now i've been an active member of sGE forum, i've been a Community Crew before also and I think i have served "my people" well in terms of helping and understanding them. But i am also a troll , not a rough one but still i normally go troll people if they deserve it.

I think i havent answered the question yet so here goes, so lately there were newly appointed CC's in sGE. To my dismay some of them have problems with understanding what a community crew member is. With that i initiated a plan to troll them and see how far they can go. Funny enough they showed their true colors in just one thread, they even talked about wanting to give "infractions" (its like a warning given by moderators to members that deserve it, getting a ton of those ensures lulz and a ban) to those "trolls".

If you're an sGE forumer feel free to read this thread to see how big an ego our said "crew" has.

First of all , the number one in our list. Mr Alexandrictor. Alot of people were ticked off by what his signature says, "Leading by Example" (in a font size larger than normal sized ones). I would just like to say, Community Crew members arent "leaders" nor are they above the normal members of the forum. They serve as a helping hand, that position means YOU help people. You ARE NOT above them nor are you bellow them, but i think our dear blue has lost track of his job and thinks he is above the normal members.

Second, what sparked people is how he reacts to "flames" a CC should not ignore and let flames fan more. They should bomb it with ice and cool it down before it spreads to a wildfire. What do i mean? see his reply on those people that gave comments with regards to his suggestion.

This is what he suggested:

Rewarding Activeness, Banishing Botters

Every 15 minutes, a bot report will be activated on players who are 'active' in the server (including allowance of 30 seconds for the system to determine who are 'active'). Thereafter, the player must replicate the code for verification within 2 minutes (similar to the current bot report). If the player fails to respond within 2 minutes and the time runs out, the player will be sent to prison immediately.

Every time the player answers the bot report correctly, he or she will receive a shell. When he/she has accumulated many shells, he/she can then proceed to Leonardo Expresso to claim freebies (eg. Event Soul Crystals and Hrin Potions). For active players who can't be bothered/has no time to answer the bot report, he/she can just click the 'I'm active' button and the bot report window will close.

This idea may pose as a hassle to most players, but this is compensated by the available freebies. This idea also effectively force botters to monitor the game, or be at risk of being given a free Disneyland ticket. To minimise the disturbance caused to players who are raiding/PVP-ing, those players who are in instanced room missions will be spared from the bot report test. Unfortunately, those players who are raiding normal map bosses like Diablo/Vergo will have to undergo the bot report test, since there is no way for the system to detect raid activities in normal maps. However, they can just press the 'I'm active' button to skip the code verification.

Xanxus' Comments: Very good idea in the beginning. However, the "I'm Active" button may be abused using autoclickers. Which may lead to bot report being ineffective totally.

Alexandrictor's Comments: Thanks Xan. Hmm, is it possible if the code verification window pop-up at different positions everytime? This will render the autoclickers useless since the button will change positions every 15 minutes.

His idea is pretty lame if you ask me, putting that will ensure MORE FAIL in the bot report than it already has. If you are an sGE player you know that the bot report has one BIG FLAW. Korean bug, yes ladies and gents it ensures you go to prison for sure. What if every 15mins you get reported by the system and it then gives you korean bug? what will you do? farm for rat meat and rat nails? hah! dont Fuck with me :). See also my reply here. You know how he reacts to all the comments that were given in the thread?

Seriously, this is how CC's should react? i know they can just ignore flamers but blantantly saying they will and that they will put them on his ignore list? hah what a joke. Did the staff really want this kid to help people? With regards to the topic his replies were abit off, shows how LESS he knows about the topic at hand. It is not xtrap's failure, xtrap is quite good already and blocks a handful. The problem is the game has "ai" itself, with that people can just edit the ai file of the game and just edit the patcher and so that their commands will be recognized along with their Ai script. Auto clickers can also exploit the "im active button" so the suggestion is pure rubbish


Next up is.... who else but sGE's very own JUDGE DREDD wannabe! my post about him wont be so long but if you read that thread fully he went judge dredd on people.

If you have nothing else to say that is constructive, helpful, informative but is instead hurtful, meaningless or defamatory, please don't reply at all.

This thread will be monitored with more scrutiny. Please don't treat it like a free-for-all flame thread. That is that. The certain few who seem to be causing problems, I suggest you better wind down, you are being looked at as well.

Translation of the quote: You all suck. We will ignore your comments bec. WE ARE THE LAW. You are being looked at so stfu or we will exercise our right to ban your asses and again I AM THE LAW. *double whammy*

Mr Dredd has exercised his law and will give out infractions to any troll that is/are willing to obstruct his law. srsly? ahahahaha pleaseeeeee.... These are the CC's of NOW? holy shit HA-Fucking-HA-HA! Also, changing those forum bb codes to html coding to "bold" them was rather annoying and time consuming...

The other CC's im proud, they help the nubs and ignore stuff they need to ignore and reply to cool down flames to those that needs replying. These 2? ah these 2 are the most amazing cc i have seen since my stay in sGE forums. I also got note and word that they "ass-kiss" so much they're eating IAH-Staff-Shit. I bet these two wants to be "player mods", cmon dont insult being player mods with making these two jokers player mods. The great history of the ragnar is gonna be tainted if these fuckers are turned to pmod.

I also heard that Dredd said "if only we can give out infractions i'd give a handful" , llll-looool STFU MOAR PLOX :>

From my big sis Llyse:
you're supposed to be liasons between IAH and the community, not Fucking volunteer police

With that i end you with a question: Are these the people you would consider being a pmod or even being a CC? feel free to reply via comment or shout box. or just think about it inside of you.
