Title: Setting things straight
Post by: Luke on November 17, 2014, 01:36:55 am
Hey guys,

As most of you know I am Luke Rosso, also known as Luca for some of you, and James Gvardia if we are going back to RS4. I have been around for a long time as you all know, I have alot of friends around Argonath both ingame and out of game, I have met some of you also like Kaze, Kaseem and I wish to met others as time goes by, I have been very fond of this community and it is where I spend most of my time, I am not a typical child, I don't go out much in terms of "chilling with my boys" or "bunning weed with my crew" nope thats not me, I am as you could call a "nerd" I spend most of my time at the computer, I am there most of my days, obviously I go out for a drink or two with friends, I am not a chav at all, I speak fluent english I may have spelling issues (as you all most know I get alot of shit mixed up aye, but dont we all).

You are all wondering probably why I am writing this and it is because I have noticed as most of you have within Argonath what is going on currently, this means the new mods, the admins/managers/community leaders etc. I just want to iron some things out on behalf of most of us here, first things is the mods, Yes, we are part of the administration team and we all are the same as we was before we was there, I just feel I myself have became a victim of a hostile conflict from players this can mean anything from, provoking us, or just being a pain in the bum to us, thing is as Mods we do try our best to not to become enemies with players, I myself have found that ever since I became a moderator I have become a enemy to some, and thats why I am here, I dont want to be a enemy of anyone, if all I want to make better friends with everyone, but what we do is what we have to do. Okay, so onto the next what is ofcourse Admins/Managers/CL/Scripters, I beg you all, please cut the administration some slack this means, with the topics, the hate and the disrespect ingame and out of game, they are players also you know, they are human also. (lol), the thing is, you will never be punished for something you didn't do, you will be only punished in the way you act or what you do, if a admin issues a punishment to you the last thing you want to do is make it worse, like answering back, flaming, or just being disrespectful, what a admin/man/cl does is not personal, they are just doing what they are told to do, and enforcing the rules of the community.  Bottom line is no matter, our background, our personalities, or what we do, the thing is we are all friends.

Lastly the current situation with RS5, as most of you know we have had a few issues with the server such as bugs, broken scripts or things what just aint been added, but this is the thing, you have to think it will be a slow process, you have to take into consideration alot of the scripting team have personal lifes, this means work, health issues, or just cannot be here 100 percent of the time, but they are working on helping to make RS5 the full experience, but you will have to just wait a bit longer, as things take time, the thing is without the scripters being here, we wouldnt be able to play how we do now at all, so if all we have to thank them for what they have done in previous months, years. They are Argonath.

I hope you can understand what I mean and what my views are on the current situation,
obviously I have rambled on alot but most of it is what I have witnessed lately I just want to clear it up, obviously feel free to leave your comments and stuff, but please keep it civilized and fair.

Luke..

I do understand that you were probably dragged into a fight you've never taken part of in the past. The thing is that each time we make a step to end this fight and find a solution, we get dragged two steps back. I do not want to start another debait, as most of you are too arrogant for it, and I do not feel like wasting my time, and getting a bad mood for this. I have one thing to say. You just like us chose to have that seat, no one was made to do it. This is a gaming community, consisting of numerous servers in different games, if there is a place in the world where things can be fair its in the games. Stop taking your seats so serious, you are not rulers of the world, you are the chosen ones to manage a server, which is nice, but the server is for us just as much as it is for you. You don't want our help to fix the problems? Fine, then start fixing them on your own...

If you are referring to the topic about double standards and stuff, yeah it will be locked simply reason being, when topics are made like that someone will always come in and be like "f**k you Admins" (in other words) this will then lead them to close it no one wants a Players v Admins war, this is a game where we come to play and have fun, not argue on how big our e-dick is, yeah I understand some things don't always go the way you want them, but you have to live with it, its life, you will never always get your own way, but showing the wrong attitude to people will just make it worse.  When can have a civilised chat, but everyone just has to sit back about things such as their bans and stuff.

Stop taking your seats so serious, you are not rulers of the world, you are the chosen ones to manage a server, which is nice, but the server is for us just as much as it is for you.

Indeed it is, but this is the problem people don't understand what they do wrong, for example you get caught doing something you are not supposed to be doing, get banned, fair play, then the unban request and every other topic on the forum turns into a "f**k the admins" topic, think about it, sit back, think what you have done wrong then approach it in the best possible way.

No one takes their seats serious, we just have a problem where players believe they are immune to anything. Everything has consequences, even if you are part of the Administration team.

Well, we do need a solution thought don't we? I got ot admit that I personally have not lived such situations, I've been wrongly punished, but not in a case where he punished me instead of my enemy or something. I do understand that in such topics people lsoe control ... I did. But it still is a problem that needs a solution, hiding behind fingers is not the solution.

Also about what you said that people did pull in their exambles, and situations. It is wrong indeed but I would also like to point something out. Both of those two topics and many other in the past were only made to help the community and nothing more. Yet again what was the response from the amdinistration team and the wannabes?
Some passed by, posting something rather useless, not really carring about the consequenses. How can we keep our emotions to ourselves and not go off-topic when the so called "chosen ones" do not respect our efford to write what we've writen?

Yes we all do make the community couldn't agree more, but you cannot eliminate the fact that without them there would be no Argonath, we wouldn't have functioning servers (even if they crash time to time), we all need to remember that and credit them for what they have done, they need the feedback and the love from everyone else to get them motivated, I wouldn't like to be slammed for my scripting skills if I am doing something for free for your experience, I just wouldn't bother.

Yes the players are the heart of Argonath ofcourse, every single person is valued, but we can never forget the people who create this experience for us.

There would be no Argonath without Gandalf, not without them. Yes, I've thanked them for their job, but we are argonath, not them. Dude, we.

I'm referring to what Stivi has recently stated; this community isn't a community just because of scripters, yet also the players. "Argonath wouldn't be anywhere without the scripters" well yes, but what would Argonath be without players? Just another empty server.

And like I said yes, what don't you understand? I am just saying not directly to you but to everyone we need to show some appreciation and thank the scripter team for their work, as lately this has been minimum and is just disrespect and plain out of order attitudes, giving them feedback good/bad. Not just slam them with "oh RS5 sucks dick" and "Bring back RS4 this script is shit" as that wont help anyone.

No its not, the players are the community also like I said I couldn't agree more, but some members need the respect and the appreciation of what they have done. i.e. Scripting Team, Gandalf for pay for it, Webmasters another, for making the forum what it is.

I'm more concerned that racist jokes are seen as good past times rather than anything else right now, just shows what kind of a person someone is.

 Especially concerning is the kind of jokes where the drowning of black people is seen as a good start, or the likening to black people as criminals.

Urrgh.

although I do not agree with the way you've decided to react, I also think it's a pointless topic which will go nowhere other than cause further divide in the community.

No one cares for ranks and if that person is an admin. They care more about the conduct of that person whilst in that position.

Everyone supports the admins as they don't see them as nothing more but fellow bro's so this topic is a bit irrelevant, the notion that admins are being hunted / targeted is just insane.  I wonder why if this is the way the admins feel, why the community leaders or division leaders do not go around making such threads.

Ultimately if the admins can not deal with the pressure they can take some time off.
If it's getting to you luke, you should do that. No one would belittle you for it.

Read Sir Rusty's signature, especially the part about ranks.


Everyone knows the deal with admins vs players, it's nothing new and nothing special.

The topic was made to basically try and stop the arguments between everyone, from player right through to the owners, I wanted to see if we could all come to terms and stop with the non need arguments, and show some appreciation to the people such as Scripters/Webmasters/Owners, that is all.

So many problems made of nothing.
Indeed.

*text*

If this is about yesterday, you had alot of chances, to fix your issue, and you didn't, which lead to me doing it myself also I am not lying so leave your provocations out of this,I don't want this topic closed like the rest of them Thank you.

See your comments are the reason why you are where you are Kaze, I don't know who you are trying to impress but I would give up.

Irrelevant, keep it out of this topic.

I am here where I am because of what I said above. I am here because I am trying to save this community. I'm not gonna let a group of people ruin my childhood. I'm not tryna impress no one I don't give a single f**k about anyone here. I'm sick and tired of being f**ked by the HQ.

(When I'm mentioning HQ, I mean manager+. Admins and Mods are child's play.)

Luke I have a simple question, you as an administrator, what do you want ot achieve with this topic?

You want everything to get back calm and nice? Well the only way to do that is either by community banning everyone who wants a change, or by changing. YOu are like 20 people and think that you are right when the players of hte server say otherway? Well do the math bro... We either start carring about changes, or simply keep up as we are, ignoring every efford, and staying stable.

Maybe not behaving how you have been would be a start, you still dont realise what you have done wrong. The reason for your ban, is you did exactly what the other guy was told not to do. I told you loads of time, yet you still claim its bullshit, check your 50+ punishments, not every admin is wrong.

We either start carring about changes, or simply keep up as we are, ignoring every efford, and staying stable.

This is another reason for the topic, I want to see how people would react, and they reacted the way I would have expected them to, I don't want many things to change, the only thing I want to change is (prime example Kazes) situation. The constant "f**k admins" they are wrong etc. They wouldnt punish you without reason, I am a mod, and admin elsewhere, I see what goes on, and 9/10 admins always make sure they have solid evidence before punishments. The other thing I wanted to sort out, is to nicely ask people to stop being so aggresive towards Admins/Webmasters/Scripters.

I think this topic shouldn't exist. It's not going to do any good as clearly the players want Gandalf and nothing more. That's all it is. Until Gandalf returns they will feel demotivated and mad.
Until then we need no such topics.

What can Gandalf do what most Leaders etc cant? There is no real need for Gandalf, that is why Gimli, and others are here, to cover for him why he is gone, why not contact them?

I have done nothing wrong and I will continue to stick to it. Its ironic how 75% of those 50+ punishments ARE bullshit.  It's gone to that point where I'll even say it again if I have too. Thats how bullshit the ban is. Its only unfortunate that Cyril was on his period that night.
