There is a point where something vulgar or inappropriate gets out of hand and that is when the mod warns or punishes the player, regardless of their donor status or popularity. But people have different opinions about what is appropriate and what is not. It's just natural and it's inevitable. Some things may slide by but most things, if too inappropriate, are noted. With that being said, it may seem like donors or people who are popular get special treatment but the truth is, these are the people who we know, whose personalities we are familiar with. These are people whom we as players get to interact with more often than others. Thus, it's easier to judge whether their words are punishable or not. Even still, no matter what your donor rank or status is, you will be warned if you cross the line or break the rules.
Even though donors might get more noticed by more people, and might get more visitors at the occasional "banner shop", a lot of mods have trouble choosing between unbiased and biased. Basically, it doesn't matter if you're donor or not. Everybody deserves a fair punishment, and sometimes the normal players just want attention. But still, if you spam, donor or not, heed our warning. wow, i sound like king charles o3o I request a lock on this thread, it is no longer important as you have resolved it.
Generally spam/vulgar content comes from trolls and/or really young players that are very new or just don't care about the server. Because of this most of those players will not have bought donor packages and will be greenbeans. It's not that donors never get banned/muted. It's that there are so many more greenbeans than there are donors. Also you have to take into account that mods are often not online. When they are, donors generally have been around long enough that they won't do illegal chat things when mods are online. When that is the case, it's not the fault of the mods. It's the fault of the players for not reporting it. I don't think that people are horribly hesitant about reporting donors. I think there might be some truth to what you are saying, but it isn't as bad as many people think.
I say some of the worst s*** when multiple mods are on and guess what. Nothing. I'm not popular whatsoever. It appears to me that mods are now only used for modding chat.
Moderator's chats go much quicker than non-moderators. Usually it's hard to see someone swearing because our chat is moving so quickly, especially when people are messaging us for help and we're trying to respond. A player's popularity doesn't change anything to me. I just kick/mute them if they're breaking rules in chat.
The word biased is thrown around so much its amusing. Every mod is biased. There is no such thing as a completely unbiased moderator. Even the most fair mods have a bias. All players are biased. Mods are expected, however, not to moderate in a biased manner. There are many circumstances that a greenie is kicked and a donor isnt. But its not usually because we are favouring donors. Greenies have the tendancy to be more explicit, more spammy, more rude (not labelling, this is observation) as they have the least to lose; they get banned, they paid no money. They tend to go on more "rampages" and as such they need to be kicked off the server. A donor may say something not so g-rated but comparing to what greenies say it is usually subliminal and easily sorted out by a verbal warning. Ive seen more fights between donors than inappropriate things. Also I think some mods are worried about being reported for punishing donors. Popular donors often fight back, and get salty over kicks even if they are in the wrong. Inexperienced mods may find this intimidating. And i dont usually see much spam from donors. I am msging someone for help and i mainly see greenie spam and its too intense i cant leave it be. I have kicked many high level donors, they do get punished. I have never felt like there was a huge issue before. I know there is a leniency towards people that donate but they still get punished in the end. I dont think popularity influences a mods decision as much as something like the incidents themselves, regardless of rank. I think it comes down to the circumstances unless proven otherwise.
I'm a greenie and I have fairly higher popularity. I just talk to people, and help players all the time when I am on. That has nothing to do with rank. What it really comes down to is who the mod is, and what they are like, plain and simple. If a mod likes donors better, so be it. Nothing we can do about it without true proof of them being biased.
I've been kicked for different reasons before. I'm a donor, this just applies to me but since I was very quiet before I wasn't a donor, I was never kicked. If you compared to me now, from my greenbean days, my kick count would go up. And as Krissy said, everyones biased. Mods are always going to be biased to someone, but they can't let that interfere with their moderating, or who they punish.
This is a ongoing covo therefore it should not be locked. Also you cannot ask a mod to lock someone else's thread without permission from the owner
You just contradicted yourself. A debate takes 2. If the owner is inactive then it can't be a debate. Learn what you're talking about mate.
I totally agree with you. When I was new to Skyblock, I was always scared to report donors, because I'm afraid their donor ring of friends will come and rek me. Tbh, I'm still kinda scared of donors. It's really sad. Also, this doesn't apply to all mods, but when some greenies I use to be friends with become donors, they think they are too good to talk to me anymore. Since I played Skyblock for quite a while. A lot of my old coop members, (which I took in when they were still noobies) they all left my island (I understand that), and whenever I message them, they always ignore me, or act rudely. I know that not everyone does this, but it's just a little upsetting.
