but DA, then you turn the rest of us players into tattle-tales 'telling on' the other players, when the simple and *standard* solution is to have an american/aussie OP.
i'm sure there are plenty of people who could/would take the job. Asmo's computer appears to be dead atm*, and tana resigned. So we're left with insomniac Brits (charming tho they are, they shouldn't be relied upon). Also, if you're going to turn the playerbase into a series of log carrying 'spies' who then report to the OPs, you may as well just damn well OP them. I'm not responsible for keeping that channel spam free at night, the OPs and staff are. If you aren't there, that's a fault with your organization, activity, and staff choices. The players who aren't involved in the staff shouldn't be relied upon completely in this circumstance.
i agree wholeheartedly with bigger events (i.e. pasting loads of IDs, ally ID lists etc etc); but for continuous low level spamming; it's not worth pasting to the staff. Since a: chances are pretty good nothing will come of it (considering it's the same offenders repeatedly for months and they're still at it, despite numerous 'supposed' warnings.) b: oh great they get a short kick/warning/ban and then are right back at it again (as has been demonstrated before by these 'repeat offenders'). These people are repeat offenders and it's beyond annoying. They (as a group) have singlehandedly turned that channel into a mess.
Many of the issues at night are spam related which could be stopped with a simple warning, and don't necessarily deserve a ban. These things accumulate in tiny little degrees to make the atmosphere untenable for a large percentage of players, when it is merely an active minority making that channel an absolutely awful place to stay.
I haven't spent a *ton* of time in there recently for the aforementioned reasons, but every time i feel like dallying in there for a bit, i'm driven out within a few short minutes from the unbridled behaviour and free reign that this new 'fluffy lovey dovey' policy has brought upon us.
*shortly after posting this i was in #bushtarion and noticed Asmo was back. Asmo is back, long live Asmo!
