Our New Mod Transparency Rules

3.4 Do not post about locked or deleted threads on forums or in public chat channels in games. Moderation actions can be discussed privately with the moderator who applied the action. If you feel a mod is treating you unfairly, inform them you are seeking a second opinion from another mod.
See the Guidelines => "Transparency" for how a moderation action can be discussed in forums.


[old rule => 3.4 Do not post about locked or deleted threads or other moderation actions on forums or in public chat channels in game.]


==== Guidelines ======

Transparency and Forum Discussions of Moderation Actions:

Occasionally, a mod decision leaves members of the community with questions. You may request a particular issue be publicized for transparency, but this request must be made privately first, as there are likely details of the issue of which you are not aware. The request will then be opened in the mod forums, where the moderation team will discuss if the matter is suitable for discussion in the forums. Generally, there are only two reasons your request will be declined:

(1) The player involved in the issue is clearly using the incident to gain attention, notoriety, is using the action to forward a personal agenda by personally attacking an AW staff member, or otherwise create dissent, distraction, or unrest in the community.

(2) The player involved has made an honest mistake, and prefers to quietly make his amends without attention being drawn to him. (i.e. respect for the right to be forgotten.) Many new players make mistakes, and have later come to be respected members of our community. AW staff respect the intense emotional nature of this game, and most of us have 'been there' at one point, and said something in game we may not have said otherwise. As such, we will protect your privacy for these 'one time occurrences'.

Once accepted, the moderator will inform you the request for transparency has been approved, and a discussion thread will be created. The moderation team will keep the discussion unlocked provided it does not devolve into personal attacks and blame. The point of transparency is to inform, not inflame.



tl;dr - in response to players wanting more information on mod decisions, AW is now opening up discussion for moderation actions

Less and less freedom of speech, lovely atwar, at 2020 we will have pics of dave ivan and amok in our homes?

The old rule was more restrictive... we are opening up discussions of mod actions and encouraging freedom of speech. Disappointed you don't want my sexy pics in your home.

Thanks for playing ♥

While I morally believe transparency to be a good step forward, I see it as a step to the side of the issue I've previously mentioned before.

Atwar doesn't deserve you

Bad idea

Why is unleashed banned

Why is unleashed banned

i cant believe that such a kind and respectfull player got banned, he didnt swear even once, and he always gave a second chance to people that he banned, its a shame that he got banned

Kirjoittanut BLACKMETAL3199, 23.07.2019 at 22:30

Mods stink

Tengri for MOD

Bad idea and useless idea

Good idea, best idea

Good idea atm no bans who feel unfair because you say if you make an alt while you banned you will get more banned which is unlogical IMO. Like ofc if i feel i didnt deserve 6 month ban i would make an alt to complain.

Good idea not in any possible way to be used atm. In the end the x player will have made an alt and one mod will say i cant unban him he had to wait he made alt etc.

Change some rules a bit more and it could be usefull but atm i dont think so.

agree retards got no balls all of them are scared to be banned

That's not the reason mods extend a punishment. Firstly they talk to the person kindly asking him to disconnect and endure his punishment. If he has made the alt to annoy and avemge himself then yeah he will have his time extended.

However, if the person has made the alt for communication, he will have a mod PMed and they will know.

Anyways, point is nobody is ever punished unfairly, and if that's the case it will always be resolved.

Good move!
now instead telling people to fuck off from the forum you will just ignore them, keep up the good job!

Furthermore, I consider that NWE must be destroyed

Ok guys this post if purely informative and must not be used to discuss particular cases like the Laochra one mentioned above. If you wanna post please make sure it's any doubt/question about the rule and the guidelines only. Thanks.

'3.4 Do not post about locked or deleted threads on forums or in public chat channels in games.'

You know what this mean right? Your topic gets deleted/locked and you say this to your friend 'hey my thread got locked' while you play a game in game chat, if moderator see that, you will get punished.

This will discourage people to use public chats and stick to private and clan. In my second favorite game World of Tanks, they removed global chat to reduce toxicity.

Welcome segregation. Lovely.
