This forum is filled with hatred and negativity

You are agreeing with me???

People like you are ruining this game. NOBODY should be agreeing with me!!!

insert accusation of Bannon clearly being a bot / shill / space-lizard

I SAID GOOD DAY!

I mean that’s really what everyone should do.

lol probably not.

Self awareness is a rather rare trait nowadays.

I would love to write a bot that just postes the offense under every post containing the word “ban”. Not sure if that is legal, but it would be fun. Thanks for replying, this job sounds like it requires a relaxed mindset.

How dare you! >:O

It does. I lost mine when TF2 (the game I frequented the most) went free to play.
That change meant every racist or troll we banned would return 5 minutes later with a new steam account.
And since were usually ranked anywhere from 5-15th out of the tens of thousands of TF2 servers, we were a hot target for new trolls and everyone we had previously banned over the years prior to TF2 going free to play.

At that point; I stopped being an admin. It was like trying to plug a dam with my finger while the wall crumbled around me.

How many forum users does one admin cover? I mean, this must be expensive for Amazon, right?

Admins, usually, don’t cover set users.
It’s whoever is around (or, in the case of a company, I’d assume ‘on duty’) at the time of the incident.

My rant about how slow the admins are being is because, if EGO could have people around 24/7 as volunteers, why does these forums seem to have almost no admins on the clock?

“How many forum users does one admin cover?”

Depends on their Cheeto consumption… It would take quite a large one to cover me for example!

Don’t worry moderators will mass ban since it looks like they can handle hundreds of thousands of players raging… Oh wait

It is kind of an Amazon thing, they automate as much as possible.

I guess I walked right into this one :]

Same with Google, which is why DMCA abuse is so rampent on youtube; Google just does not want to pay people to actually police their platforms.

This is what happens when you have people sitting behind their monitors. Highly unlikely most would act like this in a face to face confrontation.

I love you

Speak for yourself :slight_smile: Not everyone is a keyboard warrior, some of us are actually a little bit unhinged :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Welcome to internet forums, full of hate and negativity, since…forever.
Unfortunately, this is something that will never change, unless you rule a forum with an iron fist, which opens up another can of worms.

Just ignore the trolls and elitists.

I both feel bad for EU players for this downtime AND am annoyed by them because they won’t shut up about it

Anger management classes are always an option. :wink:

In all seriousness though, it blows that the EU servers have been down this long. I live in America, but I have been through this stuff before. My thoughts on this are, I doubt the staff woke up this morning and thought, “lets screw over a specific region”. I’m sure they’re doing everything they can to get the servers up and running.

No and I get that, but 4 hours after the majority of the rest of the world was up, is a little bit much. Unless of course their servers for the EU are totally different and run a different

system to the rest of the world, at which point whoever set it up that way needs sacking :wink:

I mean right now I have been waiting 10.5 hours since it went down, yet most of the rest of the workld came up 4 hours ago
