Change 'Admin Abuse Reports' to 'Staff Reports'

[Deleted member 1381]

title, I think it's more appropriate and fitting seeing as people usually post a staff report in that section but get told it's not abuse.
no, nothing has happened that's causing me to write this, I just think it's more appropriate

If it's too 'little' to be considered abuse, I'd rather it be done through a forum convo with the involved individuals instead of dragging it out for no particular reason. Especially considering most 'incidents' turn out to be misunderstandings or easily resolved matters that more often than not get blown up by everyone jumping on it.

Gotta agree with Roosebud here, it won't be healthy for every staff member's mistakes or misjudgments (we all make mistakes) to be called out publicly. Plus, ban appeals and PK appeals are there for this exact reason.

In terms of 'reports', wasn't there a thread for reviewing staff or am I being too much of an oldfag and thinking back to LP?

I agree that this is how minor incidents should be dealt with, but it's not that obvious for a new player to know that is what should be done. When I was a normal player I always tried to avoid talking to SDs because they're busy with other shit, and I'm never sure if it's worth bringing up. I just feel like we should say it somewhere, or people will continue making minor admin abuse reports that should be dealt with over PM/steam. Just a note in the format thread saying "anything that you feel is minor/not outright abuse should be dealt with via PM on the forum" or something.

that was just a "commend a staff member" thread, meant for complimenting admins pretty much (and gurrazor stole my idea for it the fuckhead)

we could make another though, it was kind of sweet

if that's the case, then what's the point of the admin abuse section?

If you want to keep everything private and in PMs then remove the Admin Abuse Reports section altogether. It's one or the other. You can either make it a 'Staff Reports' section or just remove it entirely.

Turn it into review though.

I don't wanna see asslicking promoted.

He's referring to my post, in which I said that minor things and small-time discussions should be kept private and through forum convos with those involved. Actual abuse or large issues should still be posted in admin abuse.

so you agree that the name should be changed?

No, I actually believe it doesn't matter what the thing is called. People mainly suggested stuff like this so they could voice general complaints rather than structural issues and abuse, which can be resolved far more effectively through pms imo

If that's the case, wouldn't it be the same for admin abuse reports?

As I said, in my opinion it's a bit daft to have one thing handled in PMs and the other handled in a public thread.

Well, no. Because as far as I'm concerned there's a distinct difference between a player disagreeing with a warning / having a personal conflict with a member of the staff / feeling like a kick etc was undeserved and matters such as exploiting staff commands / metagaming using logs / shadowbanning and so on.

What we'll end up having is a sub-forum clogged with people that have little issues that dont generally require my attention or intervention
