I hope he bumps into Shame and shoots him down a few times. I can't already hear the weaksauce whines and accusations on 200. Lolz

If you were still playing... or had a bare clue... you might realize that the current Hazmat is not the butthurt Hazmatt...

lofl, like you think you or your name is unique or special, or, lofl, deserving of being spoofed by skyrr.  :rofl
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

When mods are on hair trigger I have better things to do. I have better things to do anyway. As do most of us.

Go set up a fb chat, or even better join the AH discord channel with hazmatt and compare butthurts.  Invite Hazmat so he can laugh at you both.  I'm already laughing at you both.  :rofl

The mods have biases and are free to use their discretion on what they will warn or ban for.  I got chat banned yesterday because someone had asked why the Tempest hasnt been updated yet.  I said "Because the game has absent ownership."  A bit trigger happy on the ban button if you ask me.
You expect them to maintain good order and discipline, but they let so much garbage go and then ban for the pettiest reasons.

With the community numbering under 300, the mods are obsolete. The community can police itself under 300 and a word from well known and respected player can clear any situation on 200.
I guess that the mods are currently acting irrationally and heavy handedly to justify their existence and position in the game, so don't take their actions as a personal slight. They're probably not long away from losing whatever gift HiTech is currently giving them.

how about just be nice to each other. i get it, not everyone sees eye to eye. if you wouldn't say it to your mom, don't say it. pretty simple. I also understated that the mods are sometimes a little overzealous. just deal with it or shut off 200 and then you wont ever have to deal with it.

<SNIP>—because this is our community. <SNIP>

I always considered it like we're sort of playing in Dales house so he has some say in how things run. He can't monitor it so has helpers to assist in the way he wants it managed.
I for one will always be on the Moderators side. It's a thankless job but here's a Thanks to them for what they do.

You control how you react to things.

Just my opinion though.  Imagine if there were no Mods?   You honestly think that would be better??  Of course it wouldn't.

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

I think I've come up with a solution! Make everybody a mod. If everybody had to ability to mute people then we wouldn't have any problems on 200 because everyone would end up muted!

One thing I found fascinating about being muted is that you can't even do a check 6 on a friendly when muted. I guess that makes sense to somebody.

I always find it funny that its the same 3-4 people complaining about the MODs. The other several hundred of us seem to get by just fine. I wonder why that is?  :devil

I think it's actually "mankind was my business". Maybe the mod dinged you for a misquote? ;)

200 used to be one of the main attractions for me in AH3. I enjoyed reading the comments there and the back and forth for the most part was pretty harmless. I guess over time that has changed and most of the exchanges there have become toxic or from a player that the mods don't like?(when I say the mods don't like, I tested this theory) I made a shade account and said almost exactly the same stuff on that account that I said on my main account without ever getting a warning or a mute. At least for me the mutes and warnings were focused on who was saying it, not so much what they were saying.

It looks to me like many other things here, the game has divided into two camps.

One camp that loves the status quo and the mods can do no wrong. Any player who questions a mod is a bad guy and should go away. Also, any player that questions the subscription model or the maps or anything else about the game is bad and should go away. (I get the feeling these guys are getting their wish as people seem to be going away)

The other side is always trying to come up with solutions to problems with the game. I've seen suggestions of map size, map rotation, subscription model changes, bringing back old players with free trials, questions about mods etc. (to me these guys seem to have a genuine interested in preserving the game) however they are under constant attack by the first group and their suggestions appear to be completely ignored. (and because of this they seem to be going away too)

My guess is that there will be no changes to the game and soon there will only be a few toxic players and fast draw mods left playing and at that point I really doubt many if any of the new players will stick around.

Oh well. It was a fun time for many years. <S> to those that are still around.
