It is human nature to take advantage of power, and the moderation team is no exception to this.

It is also human nature not to abuse privileges that can and will lead them to losing said privileges

[Lopdo]

Lopdo: What exactly does the "You have been kicked from the game" message mean? Does it only occur when a moderator or admin iniates the kick? Or can it happen randomly, such as the sporadic "disconnecting" issues?

You get this only when kicked by someone. If you are already in game, it could be only mod. If you are in game room (where players join to start the game) you can be kicked by game creator, I think that the message is same. This is also only situation when you can be kicked by normal player, all other cases are mod kicks. Disconnect always says you were disconnected, not kicked

Not if they can do it with low risk to themselves... like in this case.

Lopdo, thanks. I was just wondering, because I have randomly been kicked twice over the last week, and I was just wondering what was going on.

This exact same thing happened to me right in the middle of one of his game while I was dominating everybody I was about to kill hatchu when all of a sudden during my turn before I killed him A notice came up that said "You have been kicked from server". I doubt that was a coincedence.

Resort to mod tools when abuse/swearing/spam is really excesive

The only issue is, how to distinguish excess?

[techgump]

Well this forum would be where that problem would be shown.

You are not reporting any problem. You are reporting hearsay... and we all know your opinion on the subject, so why you should be doing an about face in this matter when you expect more from others? As in your own words, this is slanderous towards users, as you have not presented any proof, and therefore should stop. I suggest heavily, if you expect this from others in regards to your name, that you hence lead by example.

Techgump, what would you consider viable data to make that claim?

As I stated on the Report Users topic where this is also discussed, a SCREENSHOT of the kick message is helpful, identifiable proof.
It would have been nice if Lopdo had not spilled the beans directly as to what the different messages were, therefore allowing him only (and some of us mods, but not the users reporting) to decern the correct and expected messages as identifiable abuse or not in regards to either server disconnects or a mod kicking.

I stated a simple solution to this, that I believe would solve this issue. I was stating that multiple moderators are online at any given time, and can easily be called. (I believe that you all have a skype chat)

None of this is true. At night (for me) especially, I am often the only mod. Second, Skype, no. I do not Skype the mods. I use Skype for my business, and that's it. I have not other ways of mod contact myself (and prefer it this way) other than in the game lobby. Hence, reaching out to another mod for me is simpilly a) not desired, and b) not possible.

I was unaware of your relevance to this situation..

And just for you rat:

Of course not in your experience, you'd never need to cheat to beat someone.

when just last week you wrote in regards to me:

Besides, you aren't the big shot you claim to be. I bet niogreek could beat you at least half the time.

[jovicawolf2]

anyway, what I said before still stands, ignore most of verbal assaults or swearing because we have mute button (I don't really care if someone doesn't know about it, I can't babysit 8 year old kids). Resort to mod tools when abuse/swearing/spam is really excesive

yea but i got kicked !

[jovicawolf2]

jovicawolf2, you are quite wrong. I did in fact warn you twice for use of caps and for swearing previously to you being kicked (which were not directed at me initially).
Yes, you did call us a bitch when you got angry at feeling like you were being teamed upon. I let it slide once, cos yeah, I would be angry too.
The third use of swearing on your part was too much and got you kicked.
To be honest the mute button is of no use to me because I have to monitor all chat, since there may be players who are quite young, new to the game, guests or a mixture of them all. They may/will not be aware of the mute function. Some players (often very young) could be offended or be affected by the horrible things us folk say.

First : Of corse i was angry i could won so easy , and 2 the hightest level team and it was realy BADDD
Secound : You not told me that stop ! You not told me it 10000000000000%
Why you was angry ? Because you use mute to made team vs me or what else ? LOL !
Other ! : When orange got 8 in my i kill it and made wall with 3 roll of 8 , then i not said anything just YEAH,good
And i got kicked Why ?
Your last chanse end so it was reason ?
