Declined Something really needs to be done about Saxton Hale USA Server...

[Sarge]

So I was playing on VS Saxton Hale and I voiced my opinion on the map we were playing... For the 20th time that day... I told them "This map really needs to be taken out of rotation (Weapons Depot)" I think we all know why (the shack glitch that makes the round last forever, trolls using water to kill players etc.). Apparently, a player known as "Wet Harmony" didn't like this idea and called for my immediate mute via the votemenu. While some of you may be thinking that this is a report, it is not. The Skial VSH USA server has almost no moderators or admins on it at any given time to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen. That the votemenu does not get abused and players do not harass other players. The community is so poorly maintained on VSH USA, that it makes you think you're playing League of Legends or DotA 2. They are immature, and have no respect for the rules. Either there needs to be more mods/admins in general, or Skial needs to be under watchful eye at all times. An incident like this is likely to happen again, and its a shame, because this VSH server has some really good people on it. Or rather it did. Now it's just full of idiots who either don't know the rules or can't give a crap if there are rules or there are not.
While I don't think that players would appreciate being under the watchful eyes of the admins, I think that the time for them to police themselves is very much over. I see stuff like this almost every time I log on. A little kid will talk on the microphone and then get muted for "Racism" or someone will voice there opinion and get muted for "Spam". The votemenu is abused and there is no one to make sure it does not get abused.

But I shouldn't need to report them if they themselves are breaking the rules. Skial is a big community. So why don't we have people to make sure the peace on the Skial servers is maintained? Shouldn't there be assigned moderators? People that players can get in touch with? Its the fact that I've only ever seen an admin come in on his own accord maybe twice to VSH, that it makes players think that they can break the rules as much as they like. And no one really reports players. Most of them are too stupid or too lazy to figure out how.

You seem competent enough to report troublemakers.

There are two ways to do it.

A) Type /report in game and describe what rule they are breaking
B) Report them directly on the forum here. Be sure to include evidence.

Well, I can't really record Demos, upload screenshots (because that works like sh*t), and you need both of those. And that Steam ID stuff... Ugh.

Well, I can't really monitor one server 24/7. That's why we have two easy report systems.

I actually did !report and it needs to be backed by people. Otherwise it doesnt go through. I didn't mean to tell you how to do your job, nor did I intend offense. It's just that I've had some seriously good times with players on VSH, and nowadays I just have bad times. I almost don't want to go back there. Almost.

We get this issue now and then. Even I have set up a thread regarding THE REMOVAL OF WEAPONSDEPOT. Trolls know that Admins are too busy to deal with the Custom Map servers, especially since we don't get much reports from that server. The only problems we ever really pick up are map glitches (which being custom mapping, it's hard to keep track of every little corner a play can be stuck into, normally I try to persuade players there to vote for valve maps because they have the least issues) We just need to fix some glitches, REMOVE BLOODY WEAPONSDEPOT, and report more often for racism and spam.
Thank you, Happy Holidays.
