EFFACÉ

:oops: Sorry......

Can't even have one flaw in my spelling these days.

It was primarily due to the fact this this isn't (by far) the first time you've done that.

Yes... but how many other spelling mistakes do I make?

I meen com on, i culd be much wors.
Im 15, i shuld be alot wors

[Ratburntro44]

Yes, but that one word... It seems almost as if you purposely misspell it to anger me.

Conclusion: You must be a sith lord.

I really am sorry, I was taught to spell Ditto (Dito)

I dont exactly agree with more game-mods. most reporting before was because of swearing which now is done with the mute button. Wasn't the point of mods mainly for language? less mods would result in less complaints and less negative action done on the forums

There are other things that can be regulated by moderators, aside from foul language and swearing:

1. Hacking (rare in Vortex Wars but still is possible).

2. Abuse of bugs (known to have happened in this game, especially in its earlier days, be it map related bugs, purchase system or experience system abuses).

3. Secret alliances (probably not a case for the admins, but I fully believe such players still deserve a warning if they do it constantly enough).

4. People that won't draw in a stalemate for a very long period of time (let's say, more than half an hour).

5. Players who kick other players with no obvious reason from their rooms (or because of rank, race, name, gender, nationality). This is especially annoying when the room title doesn't imply to any limitations.

And there are probably more reasons...


Saying that having less mods mods = less complaints = less negative actions is a fair formula, but it's like saying less doctors = less sick people treated = less sick people altogether (because they died).

What I'm saying is, sweeping the problem under the rug won't make it go away, and in our case, the users will simply continue to suffer silently.

More mods, more complaints, more issues. Let's revisit when we had many mods in the game, and remember what subsequently become of it.

I don't think that cause of that was number of mods, more like (some of the) mods themselves

Did Feindess die... you now, from her cancer?

[Lopdo]

I didn't hear from since she left, so... don't know, I hope she didn't

I don't think Fiendess is coming back anyways...she kinda raged off....

1. very rare, and you would need like a mod for each game to stop that
2. same story, most cheaters will hardly get caught. you would need way too many mods
3. its annoying, but allying isn't against rules
4. same its not against rules
5. a host can kick whoever he wants too
6. Look at how many problems Mods have fixed vs how many are caused by some angry guy. I'm not saying Mods are bad..techgump is a pro as a Mod...but for this game....mods aren't totally needed

Also, there is truth to what Lopdo said. Some mods are just not right.... but I'm just pointing out, that in all psychological experiments, its very rare that people didn't use their power fully when promoted. Some people use this power in a good way, like when BetaGen totally cleaned up the forums, but still....mods are gonna use their power, sometimes too much, but its kinda hard to stop..........thats why we need people like techgump and BetaGen who use their mod powers in a good way

Not trying to be overly offensive, rather im just giving my opinion. thanks Xtermy for sharing your ideas

I didn't hear from since she left, so... don't know, I hope she didn't

It's a pity too, I was becoming good friends with her before she did what she did.

Also, congrats on 1500 posts, Lopdo!
