XOR globally banned me from all of graal before VIP came out.

So you're not banned anymore? :0

I meant that I was banned before I could have ever been able to use VIP so I never learned you could use it to bypass a feedback ban like he was hinting.

ahh

I'm actually not entirely sure if VIP allows you to bypass a feedback ban, but account transfers do.

@Sklyd, while spam is annoying, some people actually need help and when there's no one there to do it it gets pretty annoying. it's the GP's job to go through this spam and pick out important messages. for example, the guy complaining about his hours. you could have sent him a message back telling him how to hide them.

the GP's should leave it open, read all messages, if theyre spam then delete them if not then reply. honestly it gets pretty annoying when you have a legit question about VIP, or guilds, or something and theres no staff available to answer them. theres really not too many glitchers at the moment, and i dont see anything else the GP's can be doing. so, why not have them spend some time helping people? and ive seen no effort on the side of the staff to prevent this spam. you could try sending out a mass message telling players to only PM staff members if they have a issue, question, or something important to say, and not ask to be an admin, a hug, a hat, or anything along those lines since those requests will not be met, and persistence in asking staff will lead in a block by the respective staff member.

Godzilla, i kind of agree with you, but Skyld has other responsibilities as far as i'm concerned. I think GPs should keep friends only pms off, unless they are feel like they're being spammed. However, until we've witnessed the type of spam they recieve, there isn't much validity in what we're saying.

well yeah of course people who are working and creating new content dont need the distraction and should keep it off. but GP's should definitely be there ready to help.

and while the spam might not be "can i b admin" most people who have been in major guilds have seen a lot of spam. its annoying, but you have to go through it and read some so you dont miss anything important. even then i doubt staff spam is as bad as some of the spam guild chat spam in big guilds.

Skyld is important we should be focusing our attention on the USELESS gps they are hiring. Make them (or some) uploaders which we NEED! An admin once said that GP's get hired when playercount increases not decreases!

Just to let you guys know: There are timezones, and GP's work in diffrent timezones. thats a reason for more gps. and by the way, if there were no admins, who would you ask for help? like, who would you ask for help when you're hacked? I would say, enjoy the game. play by the rules and thats all. Admins are here to help the community. You can always pm an admin for help since no one has pms for friends only on.

Lol wut?

"if there were no admins, who would you ask for help?"
The players like we have to now since the admins don't respond

"admins are here to help the community. You can always pm an admin for help since no one has pms for friends only on"
Lol this is just not true. Almost every admin had pms for friends only on. That's the problem. When players need help there's no one there to do it. People have to ask other players a lot of whom don't know, or in some cases might not be able to help with your problem. They need to leave it open, sift through the spam, so that they can help anyone that truely needs it.

Admins do respond to questions, they all need to have pms for friends only off.
If you pm them with "Hey dude, whatsup?" no, ofcourse you won't get any reply. They do answer to questions, If i'm online, and someone pms me I reply, and im sure all the other admins do to. Again, if you come with a simple "Hi" you won't get a reply. And yes,most of us had pms for friends only on, but now none of the gp's have pms for friends only on. GFX,Scripters and LATS are development admins. We can't Always respond to questions due the work we have to do.

Now i hope you and the rest understand

Scaal · 02-04-2012

try pming me, i dont have friends only on. And i will respond if it isnt something stupid like:
hi mr adiam can me has a hat?? If you dont respond that means yes!
(yes someone did pm me something along the lines of that once)

and for those people who say:

theres really not too many glitchers at the moment, and i dont see anything else the GP's can be doing

theres not many glitchers because us gps try our hardest to get rid of them. Its also not just glitchers, theres hackers, creepy people asking for nude photos, and people who have guild pictures that haunt me in my sleep... theres lots that we can be doing, but were not going to go around asking every player if they have a question.

players can also contact us by email if they need to.

Hahahahaha!! Help more than half of them have pms from friends only. The only way to get questions answered (legit ones) is if a staff member pops onto a wall, but even then your question is blocked by a massive wall of text saying CAN I BE ADMIN? or DRAG/ADD ME! therefore your question shall never be answered.

And they all lived happily ever after...
The end.
