Sorry for the late response. This issue has been discussed between mods and in the community for a few times. I don't mind going over and over again though.
I'm not pointing directly to anyone in the following content.The very point is, should our way of judgment be based on calming down the riled up people?
As I've said many many times before, if I'm about to ban ZiPpO this way, I WILL ban many others as well. Many of people who ask for ZiPpO/Crash/doH to be banned, aren't saint themselves either.
I could go through this site and point-out/quote the things you've been saying, how you acted in games ...
None of you care about TUS more than me. I build TUS to this very level, that's obvious right? You act like I find TUS behind the bushes: "wow look! a TUS lying around!, lets put it online!" and I have no idea how to handle it.
Let me clear this fog for those of you who aren't seeing this,
Some of you really REALLY dislike ZiPpO and everything related to him. You're just looking for an excuse to get him banned. You're like a tense man who gets upset by the next anything he deals with.
Still not seeing this? ok try this:
avirex posted
this regarding ZiPpO, then
2 days later, here we are in another thread that leaded to him.
Should TUS moderators get sucked into this? Vote on the more riled up side?
We must ban ZiPpO, because? He pisses you off? I've been bleeding out of eyes when I read some of other people's posts here, what's the deal with them? It's OK as long as it is not posted by ZiPpO?
You have no idea how much you are damaging the community by bringing attention to this. You are inviting people to hate. You are teaching them 'Its cool to be angry'. There are people who hate ZiPpO who really have nothing to do with him.
Stop this! it is NOT ZiPpO who is ruining your fun. It is yourselves. There are infinite number of things in the world that can piss you off for good. That doesn't mean you have to go focus on them and get pissed.
On the other hand, when ZiPpO got banned actually. We caught him insulting someone in a game and no topics like this were made. We simply read the chat in one of his games and got him banned. But it wasn't like:
Crash said I don't play with avi cause he booted me &
ZiPpO said w2roper is not allowed on TUS! => HOW LAME!!! BAN THEM! BAN DOH! KILL THEIR FAMILY! REMOVE THAT PART OF EARTH THEY GREW UP ON!!
Solution1. We could increase TUS behavior tolerance up to a level that it get ZiPpO and smash him like a grape. Surprisingly it also will do the same to handful of our beloved saints.
2. You COULD try to learn to ignore/focus-less/god-forbid-like people like ZiPpO. They don't have horns on their heads you know? How do you think a better community is made anyway? by throwing garbage at the people you can't stand?
Mods on TUS CAN solve the complaints, they sure have proved this so far. A complaint doesn't get bigger if you create a big smoke around it. We DO NOT solve complaints based on smokes!
p.s @Crash/ZiPpO, I may have sounded like I'm defending you, but in no way I am. We'll monitor you even more.
