Title: Staff That Are AFK
Post by: Spurs on January 30, 2011, 09:14:34 PM
You wanna know what's really bugging me? Two words.  AFK STAFF.

Today, my acc "Brian" was hacked by Leet or Spare Life.  I made a new account to tlk to the staff.  I have been trying to get their attention for a long time.  Unfortunately, they were all afk.  I can understand if the staff was fk for like 20 mins-1 hour, but they were afk for several hours.

Please staff, can you stop afking?

I would also like to see this happen. I know that you afk because the fact that you're there makes rule breaking less likely, but you might as well not be there if you're afk for hours on end.

AGREED.

I also like to see it happen, I'd like this community to have active players as well as active staff. A server without active staff isn't really helpful.

I am rarely ever helped by a staff member when I need it.

Is the Auto-log out timer set up in blitz? because that could be a good system to use. (Though, make it about 5 or more mins though)
Why are you so smart..

I agree the staff on here aren't helpful 99% of the time that their on cuz they are always afk or they think they're too good for you and ignore you.. Staff need to learn that having a crown doesn't make you better than everyone else. Most mods are too self-centered and it's annoying. I think admins are really good but they're never online so it's hard to talk to them.

I like Mute and Insomnom the most because they are always nice and they always help no matter what. Rivin just sits in lumby all day showing off his torso and nezzy and rune defender...

Rivin X doesn't show off his items. He is helpful when some player calls him.

Mostly some staff are AFK.

But sometimes some staff look like they are AFK but are not.

Cause they got nothing to do and once a player speaks to them they'll answer.

I was talking about when they don't answer them.. Which is often the case. I can see why you would think that every staff person is absolutely perfect and that there's always some 'reason' why they don't answer you, but I'm afraid you're not always right.

Thank you for your feedback everyone. I will more than likely send a memo about this tomorrow in the Staff only section. I even agree with this - if you can't pay attention to the screen stay logged off the game. (This goes for Gold Crowns only)

I hope this makes you guys feel better!

Rivin is like Chaos. He completely ignores anyone who he isn't extremely good friends with most of the time.
Title: Re: Staff That Are AFK
Post by: Sad Panda on February 01, 2011, 03:54:57 PM
That's not true... Oscar has a soul, you guys.. Oscar was truely afk though. Avery just ignores people altogether. Whenever someone he likes and knows well comes along and just feels like chatting he'll do that for hours on end. Why is he a forum mod too? I don't think he has processed more than five forum reports on here... Not like reporting someone, but actioning it...
Title: Re: Staff That Are AFK
Post by: TROLOLOLOLOL on February 01, 2011, 04:05:22 PM
Ok you're right I take back what I said about Oscar. He changed a lot in the past year or so. But to be honest what did Avery do to get mod in the first place?
Title: Re: Staff That Are AFK
Post by: Sad Panda on February 01, 2011, 04:14:38 PM

Sometimes you guys have to understand that, we won't always be on when you need us. One reason why is the time difference, for all you know I can be at school while it's 8 o'clock at night for you. I try my best not going AFK, and I would usually tell people who is around me. Also, at times I may be on another tab... who isn't?

Sometimes she says .:Afk:. when she goes afk and the other text she says for fun.

Actually Ratman is right. How could you have an opinion on Oscar's moderating if you weren't there for it?

Who cares? He's just going to keep avoiding the question.
'nd does this quite often.
Can we get back on topic? Thanks.


Afk staff is a problem, yes.
Though sometimes there are genuine situations where something has come up and they have to leave quickly or forget to log out.
However rare.. Eh, dunno. I
personally try not to go afk without letting people know beforehand.  'nd if it will be for too long, I log out.
Then again, I haven't been logging on much lately, so I guess it doesn't really matter what I do.

Title: Re: Staff That Are AFK
Post by: TROLOLOLOLOL on February 03, 2011, 05:24:52 PM
Nope. That's why I said I liked that fact. Because none of the staff that are actually a part of this problem go on the forums to realize that we're pissed off at what they're doing. So this topic is pretty much to get other people's support while not even being seen by the staff who actually do it.
Title: Re: Staff That Are AFK
Post by: I K3 Dubstep on February 03, 2011, 05:28:34 PM
It's pretty obvious the staff who log on and minimize their client\just open a new tab don't care too much.
They can stay AFK(Which should count as some form of inactivity, right?), have people complain about it on the Forums, not bother checking that forum post, and just get away with it.
They have no reason to care about what the community thinks of them.

The in game staff not coming on here doesn't bother me at all. Pavillion and Rivin X not moderating this at all bothers me. Pavillion moderates when she comes on, but Rivin doesn't do shit. I know you don't have to post to moderate, but it's pretty obvious he doesn't...
Title: Re: Staff That Are AFK
Post by: TROLOLOLOLOL on February 03, 2011, 11:20:37 PM

Rivin is in fact a well respected player, especially by the staff, and he has helped with the server far more than you think, which explains why he was a-f-k most of the time, because he was helping Ryan, Jeremy and i with the server. You really shouldn't talk about staff that way especially coming from someone who has been banned for as long as you have.and keep your opinions to yourself especially about something you apparently don't know much about. Thank you.
Sorry but he's right.

Post by: Jeremy on February 07, 2011, 10:42:10 PM
First I'd like to start off by saying that this thread is locked, and any future threads about the staff being 'AFK' too much will be deleted and the thread creator will have their posting rights removed. Please remember that this only applies to Silver Crowns. All Gold Crowned players are obligated to help you so if this is a problem please contact me via PM.

The Staff for this website (Forum Moderators, Player Moderators and IRC Moderators) are not required to immediately tend to every question from every player. They are just like you - they play the game. They have the option to answer questions or to ignore whomever they want. As long as none of the Moderators are disrespectful to you then their's no problems. We take player respect VERY seriously and any Moderator caught being bluntly disrespectful will be removed with no questions asked.

They are busy people, just like you. They play the game, multi-task and watch YouTube videos and many other things. Keep this in mind when demanding answers from one of them.

I'm sorry you guys feel ignored. If all else fails post your questions here on the Forum and myself or any of the other Gold Crowns will do their best to get an answer to you.

In regards to bashing one Moderator over and over - it stops now. No more.

Please note that Gold Crowns (Administrators) of the website are OBLIGATED to help you. They are in-game and on the website to strictly offer customer support to you guys. If a Gold Crown is ever AFK, then please by all means let me know and that will surely be taken care of.

I hope this brings clarity.
