For some reason many staff members especially the trail mods have me on their ignore list, staff members should not be allowed to /ignore anyoneLast edited on 20 June 2016 - 04:11 AM by Virgoles
I think that the staff has DEFINITELY changed through the past years. 50% of the time i ask a moderator or a senior staff to give me advise and spectate someone who is haking (exp. Midwen281) they have either turned theyr PM's of or they ignore me. After that when i spectate the sertaint moderator he is grinding elo and just keep ignoring me. In a sertaint point he PM'ed me that he has spectated and banned the haker, but after that i type the name of the haker and he is still here. I go to his badlion and he is NOT banned (the hacks were obvious. He was hitting throught the wall). My conclusion is that he has been ignoring me all the time. On top of that before this mod has helped me ALOT and now he just ignores me. This needs a change.Last edited on 20 June 2016 - 05:00 AM by Physic
As an ex (not by choice LOL) staff member:Back during the January $1000 tournament, it was extremely chaotic. Players messaging all of the tournament staff non stop, it was difficult to get much done. We were all fairly frustrated before the tournament even started and it didn't help that players still kept blowing up our PMs. I remember being told "If they're bothering you, just throw them into your ignore list." Note that this was from someone of a much higher rank than myself. Now, I'm no detective but that was extremely dangerous. Telling a whole group of tournament helpers to blacklist people from messaging them was bad. I have no clue whether or not this impacted the tournament itself but it's likely a contestant was ignored by one of us.
During my time as a tournament helper, I felt as if I was below the rest. Of course this had nothing to do with my own emotions, rather than how other staff members treated me. I specifically remember one time where I went into the UHC ts room to be delightfully greeted with "Tournament staff? Isn't that like fake staff?" from a senior host. It was clear that myself and the rest of the tournament helpers were seen as some sort of joke. It genuinely disturbed me that a senior host (now resigned) saw an entire group of staff as inferior. Of course if I were to spew anything back I'd immediately get shit for it. I can tell you, most of this came from UHC hosts. Most of which had no clue that there even was a tournament staff group.

The staff on AU are always helpful when it comes to muting or punishments that aren't bans. They are very helpful but seem to be scarred to ban people. I would like to see more discipline in the staff as they only tend to play ranked or make a party. I know you said not to mention but by far OhhAvenger atm is the best T/mod we have on the server. His investigation skills are very high and should be a role model to others.However, since I have joined I have noticed that as time goes on, there are less and less people who are like Avenger.
I have been on badlion since late 2013

I don't mean any disrespect but this isn't real life and players act as if because they know that no personal harm will be dealt to them. It is a bit much that you get muted for saying a letter in my opinion. Anyways opinions aside, I think that there should be button in the tab(next to home, donate, uhc, ladders, etc) that you should be able to click and quick report a player. This can be used for something as small as someone messaging you ez or something rude. Does that sound like something you would like to implement? By the way I don't mind the new mute system and like that players get muted for being rude but the only thing I disagree with is saying "L" in chat can get you muted. Lastly, when you said " It's called good sportsmanship, something this community knows nothing about." I know there's no reason to be rude over lego bricks but its a competitive community, there's bound to be a bit of trash talk, hell if there was competitive club penguin(probably is) players that are old as Badlion players would get pissed if they lost and trash talk too, its just how online competitiveness works, people get carried away because they know they won't be harmed personally.
Toxic players in real competitive eSports are removed from competitive play access. I intend to do the same for our future tournaments (dropping a hint here).
If you don't have anything nice to say don't say it as all is the old saying.

Joined at 4/23/16 April 23 2016I think staff is doing a great job. Reasons:
They can tell if someones a hacker/cheater or not.
They are kind.
If you respect them they respect you.

I joined in September 2014.I believe that the Badlion staff team is the best staff team out of all the minecraft servers. But, there is one thing that annoys me. When I message a mod saying "check this guy out, he seems fishy", I would like him to message me back with "I'm on it." or something like that. Because of course if I think my opponent is hacking, I will spam not to lose my elo. It would just be better for the players and sometimes when we spam with those messages, we may even get muted. That's my opinion, if I'm wrong, tell me in what way.

I started playing in February 2015.First of all, I'd like to say that hosting has improved massively recently, so props to @LENAvision for hiring more hosts. Games are nearly always claimed now and it's allowed the server to become much more consistent.
I think that mutes are occasionally handed out too easy, but this isn't much of a problem.
I definitely feel as though famous players are given preferential treatment; my main reason for saying this is my report here https://www.badlion.net/forum/thread/104804 that got denied, when for any other player it would have been accepted. I feel like they get other advantages as well like mods being more willing to spec them due to fear of getting negative feedback from their viewers.
My final complaint is that I think it's completely unfair that admins can ban people without any evidence except their own word. It seems to be particularly Macca who abuses this? People have paid money for perks on your server, you shouldn't be able to ban them off it based off of one persons testimony. Obviously that wouldn't hold up anywhere else, so why should it here? You need evidence.

I personally believe staff rely on G-Cheat too much. Yes, it's a very good and reliable AI that runs tirelessly and unbiased overtime but it is still only a AI… And staff inputs can help condition the AI as well.Joined Badlion in 2014 (I think).

The mods doing their work pretty well and they should keep up the work some mods do their work no matter what and they are always kind <3 *cough* lukewilliams *cough* And they should keep going this way but some mods are unprofessional and they ignore you when you need their help. What they are doing is being AFK for 15 mins in ArenaPvP (Not going to say your name you already know yourself) but other than that I love all of the mods. :) but wish they looked at the reports more often. And if MaccaTacca could stop abusing his powers that would be great.

I've joined Badlion 2014. Back then, hackers weren't really a problem and you would rarely find any hackers. Later in 2015 GCheat has done a good job to keep out a huge amount of hackers; same here. No problem with hackers or staff in general. The problem is, there is a numerous amount of Ghost-/hack clients that simply avoid GCheat. Whenever I come up against a hacker I firstly do /report and then msg a mod on the server. The chance that a mod actually spectates me is tiny. I get really frustrated when I see them muting people for chat offenses, but not banning hackers. And whenever a mod actually replies to me, it rarely happens that he actually looks after the hacker.In my opinion the staff team should concentrate on the hackers more than people breaking chat rules. Because being insulted/harrassed over the internet should not offend anyone and should be ignored by the PLAYER. Hackers take away the fun and are way more important to deal with.

Badlion has the best staff team out there, no doubt about that, but I believe there are some flaws in the way that some staff members work.Admins: All extremely dedicated, especially Freekkiller, all of them do their jobs very well.
Senior Moderators: Most of them all do their jobs well, but what I find a little bit irritated about is that two of them do not do their jobs very well AT ALL (I won't name any names here). One of them has played over 4500 ranked matches this season, and doesn't spend much time banning/muting. I honestly think that moderators should be expected to not be playing so many ranked matches and should spend most of their time on the server doing their jobs. Apart from that, most of them are very good at their jobs.
Standard Moderators: In this part of the staff team I believe there are the most flaws, and unfortunately I will resort to using an example, m0xy. Now, m0xy has played over 5000 ranked matches this season and hardly ever gives out punishments. Unfortunately, m0xy also happens to be a very bad sportsman (please don't link my punishments page anyone, I know I've been very toxic myself). If any of you have seen the video in one of the latest reports on m0xy, in the video m0xy loses to another player in ranked on his stream, curses him multiple times, calls him out for sniping, spams the guy in PM, then eventually /ignores him without the other guy saying anything against him. This is unacceptable in my opinion, but thankfully most arena mods don't do this. So yeah, what i'm trying to say is that some arena mods spend too much time playing ranked and don't do their jobs. However, a lot of them are very nice and supportive while doing their jobs. I'll use another example here, lukewilliams10. Luke is probably the nicest and best mod I've ever seen on Badlion, he is online frequently, does his job well, doesn't mute for silly reasons, etc. I think that the arena mods should all use him as an example.

I like the staff team, they may not be perfect or the best, but they are fair and helpful. That's all a staff team needs. Some staff are more friendly than others, but that doesn't really matter for a community that can brush off someone saying "Kys" rather than a mineplexer.

I think the staff team if doing fine but I wanted to complain about on one of the senior mods m0xy. Literally if I say one message in all caps by accident he mutes me for spam like wtf. He did that twice and got me pissed off. Another thing is with the L mute. WTF I reported a guy for having a name for HoldThisFuckingL and it was ok for him to have that name but I get muted for trying to say "LOL" but accidentally said "L" because my internet was lagging. They need to be less strict about these rules because literally these mods and hunting down every single message that could be the slightest offensive and mutable.I joined Badlion in November 2013

I looked at your report on REALHAZZA and the mods are not going easy on him. TBH they are going easy on you because you tried to get a steamer muted and really they should of muted you so I don't know why you're complaining because really you should of been muted. Hypocrite.

I feel that the badlion staff team isn't as (not committed) but as helpful.I mean yes there has been a various numbers of occasions in which the staff are extremely helpful but, i feel that they don't seem to try as hard as the past staff like slutty, burnt cactus, asianapple and even trHowy(enjoyed your streams) and etc. But what I'm really asking is that you the owners of the server all get in a call with the old and news staff and "teach"/tell them what it truly means to be a mod/staff member of the badlion community. If you can't do this I really do recommend you get new staff.(no offense)I join badlion in 2013-2014 and have played since on numerous accs(not cause I was banned)(in case that came out sketchy)
I hope you get the chance to read this post and consider some of the ideas of the badlion community.
I have joined the forums very recently

I was actually imitating exactly what he said to me in a stream a few days previously. It's also saying L vs accusing someone of a crime that puts you on a sex offenders register for life. Basically, piss off.

There are several things I would say could really improve the arena pvp servers. The first of which is mods actuallly paying attention to /report. People are muted for calling people out for hacks in chat all the time, but they only do that because that is the only way to catch the moderator's attention. It has turned into a pretty useless command that all of the mods that I have ever interacted with ignore. People says that mods dont do their jobs, but they have the right to have fun on the server as well. Although I beleive they should spend at least some of their time moderating, they can't be expected to do it for every second that they're on the server. The second thing that I think would make the server better is just more moderators in general. Although not just anyone is qualified to be a mod, the more moderators that could be on at a time would make being attentive to everyone's reports in arena much easier. Imagine if there could be 10 mods on an arena pvp server, how much more likelyit is that one of them will see the players report, and ban the hackers that g cheat doesn't cacth. I don't think the issue is with the moderators changing since the server was first created, I think it is with the community changing, with more hackers and more toxicity. Oveall, people on the server now have a harder time accepting that they're wrong or that they just aren't as good, so they take that frustration out by falsely accusing people, and when no action is taken because no action needs to be taken, they blame it on the mods not doing their jobs.I joined Badlion in June 2014

Can you just make it so staff who are AFK/playing aren't displayed in the staff online list? It would stop most complaints regarding "ignoring".
