It's cold in here(._.) Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I'm gonna follow Rubik's advice and make this thread. I feel user should be able to comment on any thread if they actually add in information. Just because you aren't directly involved doesn't mean you don't have a valid opinion and can't help point something out/ resolve an issue, I feel that punishing players for this will discourage them from commenting on any thread in the report or appeal section, I know I have been as I'll most likely just get smacked down with another warn.

Not Steve Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Honestly I am neutral with this suggestion, it just can lead to many scenarios, like a new player believing someone is a staff member because of them commenting and what not. Another thing is its a staff members job to be helping in reports and ban appeals, if you want to comment on ban appeals and reports that you aint involved in then apply for staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tass Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 If you are not related to the ban appeal or report why would you need to talk in it. The reports are between the person reporting, staff, and the person being reported. Ban appeals are between the banning staff, other staff, and the person who was banned. No need to butt into a conversation that doesn't involve you. (Not meant to be directed towards you but you know what I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Steve Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I agree to what Tass is saying, I just dont see why users really have to comment on these things if it doesnt involve them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubik Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 So ban appeals and player reports should be limited to the parties involved & staff. Think of it like a court case where you have the two parties and staff is the jury that's supposed to remain neutral and take into account all the evidence. You wouldn't want some hobo on the street come running into the court room saying a bunch of bad stuff about the defendant and swaying the opinions of the jury. We're just trying to stay as neutral as possible & really with no involvement, all you have to offer is an opinion and that's not what we're looking for in this reports / appeals. We just want that facts. Pros: More community involvementNo one feels left outGives players something to do on forumsProbably more Cons: People's reputation will determine the outcome of their report/appealMore clutter in threads / harder to cipher through the evidenceProbably more arguments / personal disagreements between the communityPlayers can have their friends spam support for them, even if they're in the wrongProbably more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plutori Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I'm opposed. I don't want to risk the integrity of our reports/appeals just because you're bored on the forums, cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{GN} Isaac Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I understand where you're coming from cold I really do. But honestly just leave those type of situations to staff and the person that is involved. And I dont think the person that is trying to deal with a situation would like someone else that's not staff to contribute to post. If you where involved in the situation then all means you should be able to give your opinion. But if it has nothing to do with you then just let it be.
