Nothing to see here, move along

You knew you were in the wrong and you gotta learn when to drop it - but we all have slipped up or had a bad day that carried over to the vox/text buffer a few times.

The only thing I see wrong is the invisible monitor system - but finally I have a solution to fix it without revealing the players ID.  Whenever you are muted by a monitor you should receive a popup saying you have been muted and given the time, amount of time muted and a 2 or 3 digit monitor ID unique to that monitor that never changes.  I personally despise a 'secret police' style of moderation... If I were a monitor and had to mute someone, I'd be willing to tell them i did it.

This way it will be easier to protest if you believe you were unjustly treated, takes away the ubersecret monitor cowardace and gives some degree of accountability to the people who pay to play the game.  This also eliminates the possibility of or the PERCEPTION that a monitor has it in for you.

The only people that could possibly disagree with this super simple solution could be the abusive monitors themselves.

What I think might happen with unique identifiers, would be people working to get warned, and comparing numbers to rosters, with the singular goal of making moderator IDs known.

Have to admit, I've been pretty mouthy at times in the past, and have been muted a few times, warned more, and it's never, in my honest opinion, been unwarranted. Also, I know HTC folks have come on and muted the occasional tard, so it's not always/necessarily a player mod that shuts you up.

Maybe Penelope Pitstop blushed with the language.  Maybe the Ant Hill mob regard "substances" their domain.  Maybe Rufus Ruffcut and Sawtooth are fed up with trees.  Maybe Red Max likes the idea of a "target rich environment".  Maybe Peter Perfect likes to use his hot rod.  

What ever it was there's a short haired dog laughing his bollocks off.

Many people have way to much time at their hands and are pretty curious at the same time... ;)

I bet it wouldn't even take a full tour to do that.

I've seen people pour through past tour stats and scores of known IDs to try to figure out who shades accounts were. Some folks get really wrapped up over petty stuff- to them, a few days of constantly provoking mods would be nothing.

After a short time, they are flirting with the ban stick...  I dont think this is a bad way to go compared with having mods who hide completely...

It isn't what you think, the text buffer goes by quiet fast at times, that some stuff is not seen or caught, if the mod had of caught it, he/she would have executed a warning or a mute just the same as he/she did to you.....

Aces High players should be glad I am not a Mod.for I would be prob 10 times more harsh....

I might would of warned you the 1st time ( or possibly muted you )
the second time, would of been a longer mute with a more stricter warning on top of that
and when you went to tell me where to get off, I would of just instantly ejected you for say 6 hours........you lucky the mod still let you play in the arena, he/she probably could have ejected you just as easily.you should of not received a 3rd chance in my eyes, from your description of what happened......

Arguing with a moderator is like arguing with your wife. In the end if you don't say 'yes dear, I was wrong' baaaaaad things can happen.

The mods do have monitors.  They can be reached at support@hitechcreations.com.  That info is at the top of every board...

I can tell you from your description that the answer from HTC Re: "an abuse of athority?" would be along the lines of:
 "No".
