Actually, I find it quite troublesome to bother people for no reason. I have many better things to do, like count the hair on my imaginary dog.

I wasn't directly referring to you. Just PWA in general. I haven't had any bad experiences with you in particular.

When was the last time you saw pornography on a Graal server? Or any sexual content at all? I can say I have as recently as last week, and because I have, you haven't. You obviously wouldn't know what we do since it rarely comes to the public eye, thanks to our vigilance.

I'm sure at least a few players saw it. If that were the case, they could have reported the playerworld, and Stefan could have taken 3 minutes to log on, see it, and shut the playerworld down/remove the offending material. This hardly requires an entire team of people.

So you're bashing our purpose without even knowing it? That's pretty poor form.

It was a rhetorical question.

You've no idea about the structure of working now. Many people work on several playerworlds. Of course, you're too busy writing a rant instead of actually asking me or another PWA what our purpose is or what is what.

Isn't there some rule about working on more than one playerworld in the development field? I was pretty sure it existed, if it doesn't it needs to. People seem to think it's okay to make thing for one server, and then copy it over to other servers, without informing the manager.

No we're not. We're making sure that the public playerworlds are free of bad content and we make sure of it. Besides that, do you have any owners to collaborate your statement?

You can check playerworlds for bad content without bothering the playerworld manager. Yes, I know of an owner that has complained.

It isn't nitpicking. You obviously have no knowledge in this area. One insecure IP range can mean a disaster. As for player complaints? WAKE UP! They are customers, and they are who we are supposed to work for.

But that isn't your responsibility. That is the responsibility of the playerworld manager. You're telling me I don't know about IP ranges? Haha... that's rich. I think it should be up to the playerworld manager whether or not to have all IP ranges set. It's an inconvenience. What happens if the playerworld manager has an ip change and can't login to their RC? They have to wait for god knows how long, before one of the PWA are available to talk with, and then the PWA have to wait to tell Stefan. That is, if they get around to doing it, with their busy schedule of "nagging managers about setting their IP ranges".

All non-physical laws are made up. What makes our's bad?

Because as far as I know, your "laws" are not clearly indicated on Graal.net. They aren't clearly indicated period. You expect playerworld managers to come and read these forums to see what rules they have to follow? Not to mention, the rules get changed constantly, so you expect them to magically know to come here and check the rules often?

None have been hacked recently. We've made sure that abusive staff get what they have coming. Stuff like that. You seem to think that somehow we should work to please the 10-20 people who work on the server no matter what, and completely ignore the people who play it.

What business is it of yours to pay attention to the players? Aside from hearing their complaints about a playerworld's management, you really don't need to be pleasing the players. That is what the playerworld manager is there for. You SHOULD be working to please the server staff on each playerworld. They are the ones that need you, not the players. It goes players -> playerworld staff -> pwa. You also shouldn't leave the staff out of the loop when players complain about them. It's rather stupid.

No crap? That's because we don't like advertising what happens when we actually get called in. It makes Graal look bad.

I mean good as in something positive that doesn't involve you flashing your badges around and enforcing anal rules.

Are you trying to get somewhere with this satire?

Yes, actually. I'm merely pointing out how Spark focuses WAY too much on IP ranges, and WAY too little on concerns of the playerworld managers.

You know what? Make your own MMOG which charges roughly $100 for a server. You see how long people want to put up with hacking and losing everything because they didn't know any better.

Oh lord. Let's not go there. I wouldn't be charging people $100 for a server without allowing them to clearly know what risks and regulations there are, before they spend their money.

We are Linux Cyberjouers' law enforcers, more or less. Stefan and Unixmad have given us permission to use the contractual power they hold to keep their servers free of bad things.

More like "We are the judge, jury, and executioner".

Doesn't pay anything? No soup for you, sir. I do pay for my account. Yet again, unbased claim.

Hahaha... That hardly has anything to do with your job. You pay for your account just like everyone else has to. That doesn't mean you should get to command playerworld managers to do your bidding. You aren't paying to be a big bad law enforcer. Where on the other hand, the playerworld manager IS paying to rent a server that they believe they have control over.

Because that's our job.

Then your job is having one hell of a negative impact to Graal. Congrats.

That's not true either. You have no idea, once again, what goes on behind closed doors. You think we don't talk to eachother? We're not just a bunch of different, unilateral administrators. We collaborate with eachother. We talk to eachother about what's going on. Honestly, stop the false claims.

How does your collusion have anything to do with what you quoted me on?

So that's why. Wouldn't it just have been easier if you had set his IP range properly, instead of making a huge, unfounded rant?

It was a hypothetical situation. But thanks for proving that you're a hypocrite. Mister "false claims".

UN has a community. It has that advantage, yes. There's nothing we can do to help playerworlds without being unfair to UN. That would be favouratism, which is complete and total "BS".

Here's a suggestion. Why not discuss something with Stefan for a way to make things more fair? Right now it's an injustice. That's like saying nobody should have helped the blacks when they wanted equality in America. How about having the order that the playerworlds are listed be random instead of sorting it by playercount? Obviously a lot of people simply tend to go to whatever playerworld is at the top. It's clearly unfair.

What the hell are you talking about? Why are we lazy? Better yet, shut the hell up. You've not made one substantiated claim this entire time, you're just throwing out whatever you think sounds dramatic.

I don't know why you're lazy, you tell me? All you've done is answer my opinions with your own opinions, so I don't see how you can state things like they are facts.

You can't stand the PWA because you can't follow rules, plain and simple.

I'm not even going to bother responding to this. You dug your own grave.
