Aineko has added GM support to Molecular Blue.
There are currently 7 active GMs on the fragnetics server. If necessary, they can warn, mute, or even kick a player.
Many thanks to Aineko! Also thanks to acraig for patching and testing the server, and to Vengeance for helping set this up as well.
-
Current GMs are:
- Aineko
- Axsyrus
- Cad
- Kada
- Gronomist
- Moogie
- Nilaya
...and, as always, developers and admins have all these powers and more.
-
Its good to hear that we have some GMs in game now; but, other than Nil, none of these players are particularly active, or maybe I just don\'t notice them.
In anycase, good luck to the newly appointed GMs, may you protect us from the onslaught of the n00bs.
-
Yes, I am one of the 7 current GMs, wich means I have the power to kick, mute and warn players that behave bad ingame. we will not abuse these powers as the devs can take them away just as easy as they gave them to us. If you don\'t agree with the choice of GMs, don\'t start crying like whemy please :)
This was also the reason that the server had a small downtime, as Aineko\'s changes for the GM commands were server side for a large part. we already tested all commands too and everything works just like it should.
-
Good GM choices...although I\'m not sure about the activity thing since...I\'m never on! 8o
(and grono scares me ;()
EDIT (below): well, nevermind then
-
People who want to nominate people for GM can PM me. If there is consensus, I will add them.
No nominating yourself.

Great idea to put GMs in the game, it became necessary with the number of people passing by. And it will surely prove to be a needed exercise before CB is out.
Congratulations for the good work, and thank you for trusting me.

In fact, I didn\'t know you were still playing :P
Welcome back anyway ;)

Me? Not play anymore? Bah, I say!
I just had a Temporary Real Life Intervention for a week or two... Yes, that\'s it, yes.
Not that I claimed to be exceedingly active...
Also, to make this post seem less like spam, and now that Venge is taking nominations; what sort of GM to regular ratio are you guys going for, per any chance? Are we going to see some extreme number like 1:10 GMs, or will it be a far more modest number like 1:100 (unless I\'m mistaken 7 slightly exceeds this ratio).
-
well this old dwarf is greatly relieved to hear this new\'s ( just as long as head\'s don\'t get swelled with power ifn ye know what i mean) i hope this power ta kick folk\'s off isn\'t taken too lightly ( strength lie\'s not in the ability ta take a life but in the will ta spare one) :D
-
hehe :) You GM\'s here by promise to use your powers for good and not evil? If you do so in abusing your superiority you will get away with it and nothing will be said! Good luck and may the force be with you!
-
Fantastic work Aineko! You really should go for WTB member status, you\'ve done so much good work already. And thank you to the devs for considering these things important enough to implement in MB (something I thought would never happen), it\'s a very encouraging move.
I\'m honoured to be given this position of trust and will try to make an effort to bring my in-game activity levels back to what they once were. I guess for the moment we are just using our own common sense and judgement to mod by - do you think it\'s a good idea in the future to set some kind of standards and tolerances, so that modding has some level of consistency?

I second that... :P

I hope you do a good job as GM\'s, since I\'ve been experiencing \"unacceptable\" behavior the last many times I\'ve logged on, and that\'s a sad development..
-
ah thats what was goin on last night, good to hear, nice work aineko n gratz to gms.
-
Oh My Talad... Grono is a GM...
*hangs himself
Congratz to all the others.
I know that Axsyrus, Cad, Kada and Moogie will do a great job.
Can\'t say for Aineko and Nilaya because i don\'t really know them.
Good luck to you :P
-
Very nice Aineko. Good work. Although I\'m not on enough for this to make any difference to me, I\'m sure the GM\'s will do a great job at stopping those irritating people from...well... being irritating. :P
-
Perhaps the current GMs can create a (short) list of unacceptable behaviors and publish them here.
In general though, I prefer to simply give the power to people we believe will do a good job and then let everyone use good judgement. If their judgement turns out not to be good, they won\'t stay GMs.
No certain ratio required or envisioned. The concept is just to have semi-decent coverage of when people are on. The whole notion here was to help protect MB from the griefers, spammers, obscenity etc that seems to be growing there.
Thanks to Aineko for coding this.

I\'d be inclined just to leave it to their own judgement. I think it\'s common sense as to what should be allowed and what not. But if someone really wants to type a post on the rules, I\'m not stopping them.

I have so far kicked two people from the game.
#1 Was Maxe because he first said the game sucked, that the devs didn\'t make any progress. When everybody told him to have patience and that the game was made on a voluntary basis he told us to go durn ourselves. That was enough reason to kick him I beleive.
#2 Was Kixie(AKA whemyfield) because he thought it would be fun to spam the chat while everyone was trying to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of molecular blue.
I think it\'s obvious that if you do these things, you will be kicked or muted.
Edited for language.

oh my god... you act like it was a huge spam. i beleive my quote was spam bomb!, slfasjd;flaja;lkdjfalkdjflakdjfa,akldfjalkfja;ldfja;ldkjfa,alsdkjfal;kfja;lkfj;dlk,akfjaiefaejfa;lskdjfa. only about 3 lines and ya kicked me. it was a joke and i even said im sorry afterward and then ya kicked me! bah!
-
Even going to whine about it? sure..
Kixie detonates spam bomb
Brasiljuan says: if we cant fight ...whats the point of the game?
Niber says: I\'ve always wondered how Talad looks ingame, let\'s see if I can find him in the crowed
Xenia shouts: oh my!

>Luze greets Talad.

Kixie says: afahkejfhaef
Kwartz says: stop that
Kixie says: aejk
Mayia says: isn\'t he a Kran?
>You kicked Kixie: ?J??q?
that\'s 8 lines of spam, Kwartz asked you to stop, you didn\'t, I kicked you.
-
it all took place in the matter of 2 seconds, i thought i was only 3 lines. i dont know how he had such good reaction time but it was a joke i typed an appology shortly after on, and a kick i never even got a warning for which i find completly unfair and innapropriate considering it was only a joke.
-
Stop whining. The lesson you should\'ve learned from this is to not spam in the first place. Saying \"sorry\" afterwards doesn\'t make it right. Just move on.

Agreed. We don\'t need to develop a bureuocracy to manage 7 GMs. If you are going to appoint a GM, they should be someone, who can make their own decisions.

Oh, evil GMs: they always have a /kick whemyfield line ready :P or is it another aineko mod: type K and you kick whemyfield :D
-
Don\'t bring up this stuff on the boards only going to cause big problems, what happens between a GM and the person kicked should stay between those two...We trust in your judgement no need to reassure us.
-
Ah cmon, there just joking around, (I dont think) Whemy is really mad at Axsyrus. Its quite amusing in my opinion :]
-
We could use a GM right about now...
...nevermind, Cad showed up.
Nothin\' to see here folks, move along.
-
Great Idea. Finally disturbers of the peace will be dealt with. Good choice devs.
Just a question... I thought you said that no more work was going to be done on the Molecular Blue client. Oh well. Good choice. The list of GMs are very agreeable. Just a question, how long does the kicked player stay offline? Can they sign on right away or is their a time period where they cannot sign on?
-

The devs didn\'t work on it, Aineko did. :) They helped make sure it worked, yes, but they didn\'t make the stuff.

A person can log on right away. It\'s just like getting dropped from the server.
-
Ok, just wondering if an IP block was implemented for it... it might be something to consider.
-
It\'s been made for CB. No worries. ;)
-
good. I was thinking about that... help keep the game under controll... unless they are one of those people with 50 network cards...

Its not blocking MAC addressess, so it shouldn\'t matter how many network cards you have... Few people have truly static IPs these days (at least in the US)...
-
True also in Europe, hopefully it will be based on the account instead, which will be more annoying because it will ask for creating a new one - with a new addy - every time.
-
Well, as long as it\'s quicker for a GM to ban someone than for someone to escape the ban (disconnet, reconnect, reload Planeshift), i think that they won\'t be many annoying peoples who will wast their time being banned, rejoining and continuing to annoy.
