Title: About those inactivity demotions
Post by: Cake Faice on February 05, 2011, 04:34:37 PM
So uhh, I'm not here to bitch about them really and I see why for the demotions, but since when did inactivity fall into position with VIP? We know it applies to admins, hence that whole Sanders Demotion ordeal. But could Moo/Coolz/Who ever give us a heads-up saying "You're inactive, you might wanna play every now and then to be active". Specially since there is no sticky on any board stating anything about demotions due to inactivity. Can someone shed some light on this?

I think bans/demotions are given out a little too often and for pretty dumb reasons. I'm not pointing fingers here, I just wanted to make a point.

For the last time, that was cause of a system reset. Not cause anyone demoted you.

We need a clearly defined rule about how many days of inactivity will allow for demotion...

I've played on RND servers at-least once a week this moth. I dunno why I've been demoted, coolz surely was not bugged about it before. Did it just happen suddenly? It's sorta a stupid demotion really,

Coolz, if you're trying to implement a new feature where you put the gaint 9001x9001 trollface in the preview before the post, then why did my VIP status on the forum get bogged down to regular?

Edit:

No really coolz, are you trollfaic.jpg'ing or actually serious.

Users that were demoted due to inactivity can redeem their VIP easier

That doesn't answer my question though.

k just by saying your not here to bitch... YOU ARE, and.. as to why people were demoted, its because its not fair for other players to apply for vip and recieve -1 from users who rarely play

they shouldnt be judged by people who believe that they havent ever seen him

as for the little bit of vips, might reduce the amount of admins who are +1 or something cuz everyones afraid to reapply, or make a certain amount of vips count towards the vote

I think the latter would be a good decision.
Title: Re: About those inactivity demotions

good decision and bad because it can get out of control, but there still is no use for inactive or players who rarely play

How many days does it take to be counted as inactive?
Title: Re: About those inactivity demotions
Post by: Moo on February 05, 2011, 07:37:17 PM
liek idk now that i think about it, i wouldnt say how many DAYS, its more of a... how MUCH do you not play anymore

because if we do it by days then you can get on or anyone can get one once a week to still be considered in the vip listing

if we do it by amount of participation, like if we do not see you playing as much anymore just take you off the list

dont take it as a fuk u gtfo, take it as a oh i dont rly play anymore why do i need it if i have nothing to contribute

Gee, that's clearly smart that people -1 others applying for VIP just because they haven't played with them. Does it not count where you go -1 and say "Hurr, I never played with you so here's a -1". Matter of fact, people +0 them if they have not played, can I haz link to VIP apps where an inactive demoted user -1 someone just for not playing with them. Any other -1's from inactive users usually had bad experience with the player applying.

oh and btw, when you mean "because if we do it by days then you can get on or anyone can get one once a week to still be considered in the vip listing", you're just stating that someone can pop-on for 5 seconds then disconnect? I'm sure in wirebuild people actually contribute by building contraptions and submitting them in the adv.dupe menu.

I'm just mentioned days because i was checking to see if i was to like go on vaction for 2 weeks just to find out I've been demoted when i get back...
Title: Re: About those inactivity demotions
Post by: Moo on February 05, 2011, 07:50:24 PM
naw honestly, its not a big deal to be demoted as inactive because like i said in the who are vip posts

its easier to get back, like if you were to come back and be demoted and be like um where was my vip i was on vacation, probably just promote you again

If you have a vacation or long absence you are going on, feel free to tell us.

Moo is more talking about if you just don't play Garry's mod much anymore, not if you go on vacation.

Oh ok then, just have to make sure is all I'm The type of guy that randomly goes like this on a friday night "You know what i think i'm going to do a week long party" and end up calling lots of people for road trips and what not...  Basically what i'm saying is I'm kinda outgoing and just make last minute plans so I don't always have the time to get on the internet to inform people i'll be disappearing for a bit Lol
