Admins with hubris

[4ces]

I just started playing here after a 7 year pause. And i really want to continue even though is have encountered some weird technical problems with lag. Please give me the names of the owners of this platform, i want to message them in private. The process of choosing admins should not be a democratic one. I keep getting banned for dodging even though i kindly explained multiple times that i'm new.

'The process of choosing admins should not be a democratic one.'

It should be done by the ones in charge the platform. In the exact same manner you get a job contract, provided you meet the aptitudes required to do the job correctly. When you get into the staff category, on account of likeability by mass votes by not so bright people , that's what you get, not so bright admins.

I've seen it before, platforms degrading and with a leaking playerbase, because of the 'fair democratic' recruitment process. In part because of stupid admins who couldn't bring anything innovative to the table. It is exactly this character type, narcissistic and struck with a strong case of the Dunning-Krugger effect. They are the ones who apply for admin positions mostly, and they should be rejected.

Are you the Nazi guy?
If so, no one wants you here.
You're a freak

Btw choosing a mod isn't democratic. It's a decision made by the admins with feedback from community.

First time i joined here , in a game lobby of dota , an admin accused me of being a romanian dodger because my ip was from a romanian ISP. Next, every admin bans every account i make here because they say i'm some guy named "Hitler dodger". I have suffered because of stupidity in my life (my own stupidity included) , but what i've encountered here, even in my first day of joining is just on another level. I am honestly thinking of ruining a bunch of games every day, just for fun, and then leave this place.

Can you think of another way my dude ? Or dudete ? I'm all ears if you can. I've exausted my patience.

You know this is not the only site/bot you can play on right? While trying to get unban, why not just pay 20-30 dollars and go on bnet so you don't have that problem ? You exhausted your patience but is it not your fault ? You have so many other options but you choose to be petty or think of getting even which is pretty dumb right? You say ruining games is enjoyable, after all that you will still be denied from actually enjoying the game. Behave and appreciate the privilege that is given to play these games for free. This is a hobby and entertainment where its suppose to be enjoyable! Be respectful and just let your ego go. I mean this in the most non disrespectful way ever.

I have invested some time and energy into convincing admins that they have a case of mistaken identity on their hands. Who will give me that time back ?
And i have paid for Warcraft 3, i still have the original keys but i cannot redeem them. Because on Bnet, Blizzard decided to make it complicated. If the keys are already associated with another account on Bnet( which they are in my case) , you cannot redeem them with newly made account. And i have no clue on which Bnet Account i have used them since it was a long time ago. I'm not paying for a game twice just because of the incompetence of a corporation.

It worked just fine in the old days, no need for fancy stuff like redeeming keys. The system on Bnet worked by checking if another instance of your keys were used on Bnet, and if they were, both would be banned automatically. Dunno why they had to make it so people cannot get access to the game anymore, a game for which they paid.

Moved to appeals.

I've done my fair amount of research on this case and I personally have come to the conclusion that you are in-fact not the dodger that you are claimed to be. There is no correlation, in the backend of this process, that tie you to the user in question.

You were tangled up in this because you attempted to use VPNs to play and that's probably how this arose. I will say that you are technically not allowed to use VPNs while playing on our service. This has been a rule for a long time and while yes some slip through the cracks, if you get caught using one - it will be banned and so will you until you choose to use your native ISP.

Something you need to understand and very clearly is that the ENT service still being up and running for this small community is nothing short of a miracle. You, as-well as a minute amount of others, are given the luxury to still play games on our service but it comes with the cost of not having a full fledged staff structure like it did before. ENT did shut down, many years ago, and our staff pulled out. The staff you see today are merely people, like yourself, who wanted to step up and keep moderating the small amount of games that still live on today.

Now let's address your matter which is using VPNs. They aren't allowed, under any circumstance. ENT makes very minimal exceptions to university students and that's it. You are not that, you are someone who wanted to use VPNs to help your internet. I understand your dilemma, but we simply cannot allow that. You will have to use your native ISP to play.

If you understand the above, then I'm going to make a one-time offer to you right now.

You've been coming around this forum spewing nothing but hate at the staff, asking for our 'owner' who is not here nor will they appear here, threatening to ruin games and arguing with community members. That stops now.

You will apologize for your behaviour and you will gracefully accept and confirm to me that you understand you cannot use VPNs here and in exchange I will unban your main account, 4ces#entconnect, and lift the ban on your native ISP so that you can play once again.

If you accept these terms, then I will call your matter resolved and we can move on. If you don't and you continue to go on this unnecessary rampant I will forum ban you and make sure that you never see the light of day on our service again, neither on this forum nor the game. And believe me, that's a battle you won't win in the end.

I will await your response.

Fair enough. At last someone articulate in English and with some common sense. As I have mentioned, yes, I was toxic, but it’s only because of the people here. I will not use VPNs and I will stop trying to ruin games. You can consider this matter resolved and lift the ban on my ISP.

[Merex]

Alright then.

I want to be clear about some things though - since my reply into your case it's been uncovered that you've already ruined a couple of games at minimum. While normally this would mean you'd serve ban time, I think with your back-and-forth case here, we'll sum it up to time served.

This however means that, for the foreseeable future, you're on a "last chance" basis meaning that if you are caught ruining or in any rule violation from this post onward, you will not be banned as per normal circumstances - you will be banned indefinitely. There will be no appeal, there will be no coming back from it.

But you've given me your word, so it shouldn't be a problem. Your account '4ces#entconnect' has been lifted as-well as your native ISP. The IP you posted from on this initial post will be the one lifted, everything else including the aliases that were banned, will stay banned.

Matter resolved.
