GF's Damage Control Chat

DarkYuboDarkYubo Member Posts: 30
So it looks like their little chat to 'clear the air' about the allegations came to nothing.

Especially since it was held during a time that most of the concerned players couldn't attend.

But no wrongdoing was found after a thorough investigation.

And they promised to add some 'CSR checking tools' to make sure their SGMs behave.



Ah well, so much for instilling a sense of confidence in the players.

    After reading the chatlog, i have to disagree here. What was said - more tools to monitor the CS volunteer staffs actions and actions already being taken - seems to show there *has* in fact been some truth to some of the accusations.

    So obviously it wasn't "whining", and those who accuse ppl damaging the game by talking about it in public, here and on the official websites, should think about this: Who is damaging a game (especially one that has the community as key point) more: ppl volunteering as CSR that abuse their powers and the trust they're given, or those rightfully demanding to look into that?



    'nuff said,

    guess glofie as usual you read what you WANT to read not what was said


      10:27:07 <SoR> kyesmith shouts: How is the gameforge investigation going in regard to certain accusations?
      10:27:26 <vince> investigation are over, they have been done
      10:27:42 <SoR> h0lycha0 leaves (...) !
      10:28:08 <vince> atm
      10:28:26 <vince> gonna take a few lines now, bare with me

    10:28:52 <vince> we have found nothing that people were accused of

     

    now they put tools in place to make sure it can never happen, and to give people confidence in the team.

    why you kami so bent on bashing the CSR's who want to help,

    you still losing and it obviously is a conspiricy

    who's the ones killing the game, coming to mmorpg to post bile, who's the one's who without an ounce of proof accuse people who volenteered to give up their RL time to help everyone else. give yourself a pat on the back

    i also read "17:48:28 <vince> also as i mentionned above, the team strucutre will change, some people will leave it (if not already done)

    17:48:40 <vince> in which case, you will simply not see them again doing CSRing"



    well no use arguing here.



    The game was desperate for CSRs, they picked a few rottenapples, well can happen, doesnt make the game less enjoyable for me. I got the impression the devs took the issue seriuosly which is prolly more than could be said for other mmos.

    as I said on the main site

     

    maybe some left coz  you questioned their intergrity when all the wanted to do was help,

    you know when you put hours and hours into something and ppl are really grateful like you.............sometimes its not worth it anymore

     face it man you got fed BS from bitter people and  you believed it

     edited: unduly harsh

    Look i can guess too like some of you do :



    "Somebody leave because he feel guilty, Cause of the hours of  hours in spying , canceling dangerous OP Wars,  banning key user of  other faction, attending NPC hunting and sharing info with allies in faction,  sharing account and let close faction friends playing god and slapping,gasing,play with aggro with the player who lastly killed them in OP and laughing  his arse off,  spying and copying Kami and Guild chats of fellow  Kami  and sharing with biggest Kara Guilds"

     Possible or !?



    Me personally caught an CSR reading Kami Chat , on the question why he can read Kami chat he answered he has the power too, and at NPC hunts i saw  CSR for no particular reason appearing and standing there till we killed NPC and got the loot then he disappears so gueesing he was spying.

    DarthRaiden let me spell this out for your obviously simple mind

    no metagaming evidence was found, no cheating, no purposfully crashing servers and cancelling op battles, no sharing of accounts etc etc non non non

    as for the spying stuff, my friend you know jack s**t lixie is easy to kill, you just need the numbers/motivation, karavan dont have either as the loot from the NPC bosses benefit like 3 people per kill max. alot of us killed lixie many times before the change, alot of us dont give 2 s**ts about doing it again, the karavan know how to do it and its sure not from watching you lot who cant organise a piss up in a brewery without ripping each others throats out.

    the CSR's come from both sides probably, they took the job to HELP others, not metagame, not mess about with a big pink lollypop. You can guess and make up your conspiricy theories all you want but at the end of the day you are very very wrong.

    if you lot spent half the time planning that you do finding excuses for your failings you might actually achieve something. now go back to your kami forums and whine in private that the latest excuse is SOOOO UNFAIIIR

    Try doing a .finger on the EE SGM in klients.

    It speaks volumes when someone denotes themselves as "Lord" when they are in a position of responsibility.





    Edt: seems that a certain SGM saw my post and decided to demote himself from "Lord"
  • DarthRaidenDarthRaiden Member UncommonPosts: 4,333
    Dear  Jackoba , you mind sure can   follow  with ease  such a simple mind like you say my is and can imagine that  GF can't damage GM - CSR in publicly  cause that would give a bad spot on themselves and talk dimplomacy speach  like "customer you will not see these CSR in future around"  (and that way  they can't causing you damage anymore )

    plus "we make it in future technically not possible for CSR  to abuse their powers (like they did till now)  buy developing tools" 



    btw.  sentences in brackets are my imagination only



    Anyway GF saw the prob and reacted quickly and in right direction

    Hmm... something seems to be out of balance, the only news I've heard about ryzom since I quit were bad ones, even if some may or may not be false, I think I might have left at a good time...



    Jack, you have an amazing enthusiasm for your cause... Are you a politician by any chance?

    This is just a storm in a teacup. Ryzom carries on life as usual, largely oblivious. You all know, who read this, that those who visit the forums are a minority. Bear that in mind before you get all melodramatic, please?
  • jackobajackoba Member Posts: 124

    *sigh*

    10:28:52 <vince> we have found nothing that people were accused of

    why do I bother, you wont ever believe it as you think their is a big conspiricy, fine man, go put your tin foil hat back on, log into ryzom and carry on spreading much hoping some will stick.

    heyas Shez, long time no see :) nah I'm not a politician and as someone who used to be an ex-CSR you could probably understand what its like to have your honesty challenged, and sure to hell would be grateful for those who answered against those accusations.

    as GF announced the investigations are over and NOTHING was found

    as one of the players signed this petition i m happy with their explanations and happy they actually look in the concerns of  a percentage of the community who had doubts about certain csr actions

    as jayce no one was fired and as jacko also said people who spend time to make this a better game may feel its best for them to leave

    i would personally dont do so since my name is clear and since all the false accusations dropped would give me no reason to leave

    but everyone things different so nothing i can judge on that after all they can reapply for a gm position and GF should be able to give another slot and another gm name in order to continiou offering their services in the community



    i have to disagree though on bringing this subject on this forum

    those who felt there is something wrong going on decided to create a petition and nothing more than that in order to show GF their concerns

    after that petition was created though i saw post about boting and multiple accounts which to me seemed nothing more as a personal issue

    there were accusations against this players name the same way there was accusations against certain gms

    but as things stand at least for me both sides were wrong

    among kami side there were accusations about gms exploiting and more

    among kara side there were accusations about boting of a certain player

    both sides used propaganda if i can call it like that both accusations collapse and the only looser is the game and the community

    enough damage was caused and i doubt things will be the same again

    but accuse a whole side kami or kara for certain peoples actions is totally wrong
  • shezombshezomb Member Posts: 65
    I can propably understand just being lil me, you don't want large groups of people acusing you for bad stuff, but there's also a whole bunch of other things I understand, and then some I dont understand, like how you got the idea I'm a ex-CSR?

    *Brain down for upgrade, don't try to understand my logic, I don't...*

  • jackobajackoba Member Posts: 124

    sorry shez, dodgy memory I cant remember why I thought you were an ex-csr

    maybe as it was you always helped everyone

  • GilgameeshGilgameesh Member UncommonPosts: 412
    All of you, people, seriously think that a volunteer CSR has the power to reboot servers at will or crash them, to cancel an OP battle???



    GF could be new to MMO's but it's not new to multiplayer games and communities.... it's not possible that, or i would throw entire sysadmins and developers out of a window.



    I never seen a Company having such a security holes as seems you are thinking all. It's possible to suspect for unfair ingame actions, and there are logs to check that, but for sure it's not possible to believe that CSR's *can* crash or reboot servers at will. Point.

    Score so far: one GM gone and the EE SGM removed from forum mod duties.



    I guess GF is actually listening after all.

    My mistake in doubting their sincerity.

     well my dear friend jacko ....
    seems u have no problem mention about people complain without having any proofs


    yes u are right many complained without having any proofs


    but what makes u think u better than them when u refer to someone being an ex csr without having any EVIDENCE ?


    i know its a different case and u didnt accuse anyone by that but dont accuse people for having a free will to think simply coz as u noticed its in human nature


    u did exactly the same mistake like many of us maybe did
    maybe u didnt accuse anyone  but u still refer with no EVIDENCE  mate so sorry to let u know but moan about something and act the same way after does not  make u any better than us

    Jackoba, I belive you're just a bit to angry about it all. Why dont you calm down before typing up flames that could burn. All you seem to offer are hateful and harsh words. People were unsure about some CSRs and wanted them investigated. This was done, and although they found the things mentioned to be untrue, they did move things around.

    Whether they moved things around because some people quit, or because they found it necessary to move things around doesn't matter. It's a moot point. What matters is that there was an investigation, stricter rules have been put in place to keep anything from happening, and CSRs were moved around.

    Stop throwing slurs. It's useless, and shows other possible players that the Ryzom community has idiots just like other MMOs. Not to say you are always an idiot of course.

    kieko there is a difference to "people were unsure about some CSR's and wanted them investigated" than the repeated post on ryzom.com com suggesting all CSR's should be banned, There is a report CSR e-mail address which is the proper channel,

    lots of ppl threw accusations about about the CSR's into the public domain and damaged their reputation coz they were simply throwing a hissy fit. I am angry, I think more people should have been banned for throwing baseless claims into the public domain.

    The same people who always think there is some percieved unfairness to the game made up this BS and we all know who they are (and their cheerleaders who join in to show solidarity as they too stupid to think alone)

    but its all over now, the result didnt matter as said people wouldnt believe anything bar "we found all CSR's to be corrupt scum and we have banned them all"

    I can't believe even after those with false accusations who have been proven completely wrong still try. I wouldn't be suprised if any CS staff decided to leave because they got tired having to deal with blind, ignorant, and immature individuals who need to get a life. Congratulations on effectively getting rid of innocent people. And I hope that the error of your ways will come back to bit you in the a**.

When you're a volunteer giving up your own time to try to help people out in a game you love, how would you feel when people you play next to accuse you of incompetence, bias and even cheating?
