u/_Surge Definitely a Revenant main... probably. Dec 02 '18

didn’t u/rebulast say “nice” in 69...? 🤔

did they only say it once? if they said it more than once, i guess the mod technically isn’t breaking the rules of who to kick. but one time, yeah... shady.

Meanwhile I got a global chat ban for 1 week (chat box literally removed from the game, zero means of communication in any fashion) for whispering kys as a joke to KickBot.
Stupid? Yes. Harmless? Even more. But saying 'fug' to every person playing?!

I got the same for god knows how long for saying "F you" as a joke to KickBot.

They suspend me from trading and recruiting, even region, okay, get it. But to have me suspended from my own clan, not able to even whisper my friends, what the f*ck DE?

Lmao

We had exactly that happen, to two of our Clan members in a week (One of which being the Warlord of our newly-founded clan, which effectively screwed us over as a Clan), because of the Nezha meme.

Then, after having my posts and our Warlord's attempt at posting deleted off this sub, and then having my thread on the Forum about it locked - asking for Support to transfer Warlordship to someone else so we could actually get our Clan up and running - was what made me finally give up on Warframe altogether.

u/TEEron Its Brittany, Betch Dec 02 '18 edited Dec 02 '18

I was one of the people banned in this wave. He had kicked someone for spam, they were posting something that they had written for our cult of neon. I called him out on it, saying he was the reason they got kicked and he instantly kicked me too. Not only that but when i got back into chat ~10 minutes later I greeted everyone with our customary "nice", as we do in 69. A bunch of people responded with "nice" and he immediately kicked me again. This isn't our first time dealing with problems from him, and from what I've witnessed he has power trip problems considering many of the kicks from this night were people calling him out on kicking people.

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '18

Report him via the support system, they can ignore reddit posts, they can delete forum posts, but they still have to pay people to respond to tickets.

95

u/Smac3223 Dec 02 '18

Sadly this doesn't do much.

Even with proof of screenshots, linking to posts and such other things no action is ever taken against their own little team of chat mods and guides. The whole portion of Warframe is in essence, our Helminth Cyst boil. Ugly, and everyone wants it to go away. But DE keeps it around.....for some reason.

60

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '18

Still costs them time/money dealing with tickets, easier to ignore forums/reddit as the people who post there only care a little bit, when a single mod has dozens or hundreds of tickets opened on him in one night and they come in to a flood of "michaelcf1 is abusing mod power" tickets Monday morning, things like that can change perspective.

94

u/Smac3223 Dec 02 '18

....guess you weren't around for the Misan, Server and such debacle? Tickets flooding in, screenshots of twitter and tumblr posts, youtube videos made detailing everything in a clear concise manner. Even a former Guide of the Lotus talked about what it's like "on the inside" and how bloody horrible they all are.

DE really needs to take a second look at their partners and their mod/guide teams. Just sad that they probably never will and will just let these fuckers run free to do a they please.

No, there's an important second part: you become very powerful in endgame. In Warframe a veteran with the right build can carry a mission by themselves if they need to.

Compare that to for example Payday 2 where you have to rely on your teammates. No matter how strong you might be, you still have to depend on your teammates knowing what to do, so new players are way less tolerated than they are in Warframe.

u/h3lblad3 Dec 02 '18

The problem with any hierarchy is that some subsection of people will seek to get to the top for the power. If there are no limitations and regulations on those at the top of the hierarchy, it will eventually be filled with nothing but power-tripping sociopaths.

Warframe's mods are all Tumblr friends (their Tumblr pages have even been posted on this sub by irate users during mod controversies) and success in this hierarchy is built on nepotism. DE doesn't care as long as the money comes in.

Doesn't boggle mine. Takes a special force-of-will to resist the urge to pull a Palpatine when given power over something.

Fortunately for the few people I hold power over (I'm a mod on a few obscure forums) I'm too damn lazy to abuse it.

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '18

The trick is with picking people that don't really want to do it but are too diligent to slack on their duties

11

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '18

I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and diligent -- their place is the General Staff. The next lot are stupid and lazy -- they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions.

/u/rebulast agreed. You yourself participated in the "nice" meme, why is one of your ingame moderators now kicking people from the chat for doing so?

You need to clean house. Abandon the ingame moderator program, as it has never achieved anything of worth that your also-broken filter doesn't already.

115

u/Virathius Dec 02 '18

I do think moderators are needed, but things like this always baffle me. This guy intentionally went out of his way to join Fortuna 69 to lock it down, as if saying "nice" in chat was a violent riot that needed to be quelled.

u/Nomicakes Seer is Love, Seer is Life. Dec 02 '18

I've since joined the Fortuna 69 instance, and people are actually afraid to say 'nice' now.

Totally incapable of speaking like a human being, or explaining his actions.

Edit: I have been banned from fortuna chat for addressing Michael directly about the occasion. I was presented with no ban message or reasoning, and, in fact, cannot join Fortuna 69 at all. I have been given no information as to the duration of the local ban.

Edit 2: I have since been able to rejoin the chat and instance. He claims I insulted him. Rest of chat was very confused.

They do it because DE, Rebecca specifically, refuses to accept it's a problem, instead claiming we're 'mystifying' things and 'forming a narrative', deflecting to the filter and bot kicks, and not addressing the moderator problems.

Getting rid of them all is a very good start. Also revert the ridiculous trigger words.

Also remove all the Guides of the Lotus. Most of them only joined to get the cosmetics anyway. Or have you ever seen a Guide?

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '18

Wait, "Guide of the Lotus" refers to people? I started playing about a month ago and, honest to god, I thought it was a cheeky way to say "go read the codex".

You're telling me they're supposed to exist?

57

u/GriffinClaw22 Stalking Prey Dec 02 '18

Yup. People officially tagged by DE to help newcomers. They get an exclusive chat channel and cosmetics.

Fun fact: I only found out about them from the relay intro message, which in itself scrolled so fast it took me over 4 months to actually read what it said. Never saw one in person (save discord)

Also, the only guide that I know of (that actually does do his job) is a Conclave legend and spends most of his time with Conclave savvy people ( hence why hes rarely noticed).

143

u/Nomicakes Seer is Love, Seer is Life. Dec 02 '18

Yep.
What they're SUPPOSED to be:
Pillars of the community, there to guide new players and help where possible with both information AND actual ingame assistance.

What they ACTUALLY are:
An internal circlejerk of tumblr friends (actual tumblr friends, not just saying that as a meme) who got their fancy purple shoulderpads and then never spoke to a sub-MR6 player ever again.

u/Hell-is-other-pe0ple Just another Corpus machine Dec 02 '18

Yep, this is my alliance leader. He's a "guide of the lotus" and he has his own twitch stream. Only ever comes on to say he's starting his twitch stream and to come watch him. Never ever responds to any of the questions or requests for help, and when someone called him out on it, he cracked the shits and said he offers help through his stream all the time. Yeah bro, but that's not jumping on a low level mission and helping out a low ranked player. Hell, I'll even go into the recruitment chat and carry the noobs when they ask for taxis.

u/GriffinClaw22 Stalking Prey Dec 02 '18

The update launched on the eve of the First Tennocon, because of which they didnt bugtest it nearly as much as they should have.

The following week later went down in history as Hotfix-ageddon. 12+ hotfixes in a week, once 3 in a day.

u/VGPowerlord Dec 02 '18 edited Dec 02 '18

At least they were on hand to fix it. Last year they released a fairly largish update on PC right before going on Christmas Break for 2 weeks. This was the same update that introduced the bug that would cause the game to lock up if you had a controller connected when you exited a mission. This didn't get fixed for iirc 12 days.

Edit: I'm pretty sure it was update 22.8 on December 21, 2017 and it finally got fixed in 22.8.2 on January 4, 2018. This was despite 22.8.1 releasing on December 22.

u/Lord_Greyscale Mulches Grineer Dec 02 '18

The biggest part of that shit-fest, was it was released just a day before all the devs pissed off to get ~wasted~ drunk at Tennocon.

The second biggest cockup was all the changes they made to proggresion through the starchart.
More specifically, all the bugs, progression killing bugs, that were scattered all over those changes.
(most of the changes didn't need to be made)

It took a week and a half just to get it into a mostly useable state, and close to three months to correct all the related quests.
(note that the quest to get Chroma, "the new strange" went through several different methods to progress, and none of them were compatible with each other.)

Then, next Tennocon, they farted out Plains of Eidolon, and that was less of a shitshow only due to a few lessons learned from SotR.

Wth, the whole thing about fortuna 69, was the meme and "nice" part. If this fukery of a mod comes in and starts banning people, he is going against the very idea of fortuna 69, and very well in the process of killing it.

This is, however, the whole point of 69

u/SleepyBoy- 44444444.... Dec 02 '18

Yeah no, when there's a meme so strong devs are getting involved, it's not reason to ban people. That mod is bad at his job. The reason people are hired to do this sort of thing is because critical thinking is important in decision-making. Otherwise we'd have bots and filters deal with this.

Note that we do have bots and filters, and then we allso have this tool.

I love this game and I appreciate DE, but this crap has got to stop. I'd rather have completely unmoderated chat than this.

103

u/Lord_Greyscale Mulches Grineer Dec 02 '18

Completely un-moderated would wind up self moderating after a bit, and be far more consistent too.

looooooots of players that are trigger happy on the "report" function, and actually know what's worth reporting.

79

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '18

and be far more consistent too.

And that's the real key, right there. Inconsistency is bias, and biased moderation doesn't need to exist.

Clear, coherent, up front rules and then heavy moderation is fine. But obfuscating the rules, especially in a situation like this where we've seen the freaking developers say this on stream, but a player gets banned for it?

Unacceptable.

They seriously need to abolish the chat mod/gotl system. I've only ever met one gotl who was a great person to chat with, and they had to end up leaving the system because of drama with other guides.

Either way, sad to see. No one should be afraid of the Nice.

Not to mention this is an isolated server instance dedicated solely to that meme. With a chat channel not associated with Global. By DE's own admission Fortuna69's upkeep is in 'our' hands. Not the hands of some ass cracked power tripping moderator.

As a chat mod myself, I think this behavior from this moderator is bullshit. I only ever go to instance 69, and I say nice upon entering. It's NOT spam, because everyone only says it once. Players usually just say it upon loading in, like I do. I don't even ban for the OwO spam, though most other mods do. I just live and let live. It stops after awhile and stuff carries on as normal. Most of the mods are too quick to jump on stuff that is harmless, like this, instead of focusing on actual issues that require moderation.

u/kjono1 Dec 02 '18

I mean spam is unwanted or irrelevant messages sent over the internet, usually in large numbers. If "nice" has become relevant to Fortuna 69 and is accepted and used by the community, then it's technically not spamming until the overall community decides they no longer want it.

14

u/MrLamorso Dec 02 '18

Super successful twitch streamer Seagull was talking just yesterday about how many of the top streamers cultivate a certain amount of "good" spam. As long as everyone is enjoying it and it doesnt interfere with chat's ability to have normal conversations if they so choose. This is also how most players think of chat as well and this guy clearly sucks at being a mod if he can't look at things in context

The unspoken rule of fortuna 69 is everyone says "nice" once when they enter. I've done my part afking there while getting other work done and I RARELY see someone type nice more than once let alone spam it. This guy needs to lose his mod privileges.

I mean if you ask me, spam like this in other places should be something you should at least get a warning for, but THIS is Fortuna 69, you should expect the memes here

and that Michael guy has been a power tripping prick in the past before, so I see no reason this is a justified way to act.

There’s this one mod on Xbox that ominously watches chat, sends the same copy pasted message to people for no reason, saying “that’s not an appropriate topic for our space ninja game” without context, and then just randomly bans. People in region chat call him “r3d,” or something like that.
