The System(tm) AMA

[Raptorblaze]

Ask Me Anything about the SC2Mafia System, procedure, what ranks are responsible for, how we respond to complaints, policies etc. etc. etc. Try to avoid questions about individual people though, this is about staff as a system :P


Edit: Mods please leave the responses to me, but you may ask questions <3

Moderator/Keeper

[Damus_Graves]

Goddamn it...... Need to do less reports.


how effective are the systems punishments in your experience ?

On EU? Terribly ineffective.
On NA? Moderately. Especially WL because we rarely get re-offenders.
Kind of the same on the forums, the infractions immediately separate people who outright don't care and will keep breaking rules and people who do care.

[TimeTrx]

Are there any rules on staff or rules on what a staff member can't do?

Are you stepping down anytime from staff soon?


What is the respected badge for and what does it mean?

Is there a list of known smurfs? E.g. Like Xen's smurf is Mateo. And if so can it be made public?

1. is there any number of minimum games per week any auth must participate in to keep ingame moderator abilities

2. why are there more moderators than keepers (shouldn't auth be pyrimidial?)

3. why aren't reports handled strictly by date (ive seen several point hacker reports handled several days before a gamethrowing report)

4. if I were to get an infraction could it be overturned, expunged (deleted from my record) and the *hander of the infraction* be counter infracted? and what type of auth rank would I have to take it up with?

5. what are the requirements for VIP status?

6. will oops ever make a forum store?

1. No but they do have to maintain reports quota which is 15-25 per month.
2. A lot of them are both moderator AND keeper. And they're equal but separate positions. TimeTrx has the chart I made.
3. Because to get through the backlog we assigned reports to specific keepers. Normally they're required to go chronologically.
4. Yes, and you'd have to either post in Answer Hall or directly message myself or another admin.
5. It's automated by the system. I believe the two requirements involve the age of your account and post count.
6. Probably not.

What is the official title for blue mods?

How were the colors picked?

How do you pick the hosts for the main FM? When will the next one be, and who are the hosts?

Supermods.

Colours were picked randomly.

Picking hosts is done via a signup list we have internally. It's first come first serve.

To add on to the FM hosts thing, due to it's use of admin powers FMs are required to have a staff member be the "host" though nonstaff can be the co-host. It's also highly preferable to have the host be someone who has had experience in the ACP previously.

What happened to creed?

Why so many badges, raptor?

What is the polls section for?

1. We weren't able to update the banlist at all for two weeks so he took a vacation.
2. I earned and held each of those positions. Don't judge me for my badge collecting.
3. It's our dedicated section for underuse.

Why aren't general discussion posts counted, I can understand CJ but why not general, is it because General used to be like a CJ but now is more mature?

Why aren't there any mafia tournaments any more?

Why aren't there <insert game here> tournaments?

Any news on EU situation? Plans for future (like preparations for big reset) ? It's hard to expect punishment efficiency when people see they don't get punished.

How long is life cycle of typical report?

I know I'm really annoying with those, but it matters to me greatly.

Btw, this is great thread, hopefully you will make FAQ from it:P

No update on the situation atm. The life cycle is the amount of time it takes us to get to the report (ideally 1 week maximum) plus the length of the punishment in it's entirety, plus three months.

-.- In game.

People were post-farming.

Already answered.

Nobody's taken the time to organize them. If they want to, they can.

[ypmagic]

I have a bunch of time on my hands, if possible, I can host or co-host... whatever.
