Has this monitor/Gm gone to far?

CrystalJeanElf's picture

I got on for a sec to send a letter while watching the Olympics tonight to hear a debate going off on global about a monitor who was warning people for buying or selling on global. The person had said one line.."buying this....whisp me" when he said right after "hey I just got warned" we all thought that was kinda harsh seeing as how everyone has been doing it for years now and trade chat is usually bots, bots, bots. So I said on global something about how that was bull and not right. Next thing I know I am tele to a "GM ROOM" without warning or the monitor talking to me first.  what is even better is what he was warning me for. I HADN'T EVEN DONE.

Wanted to know what y'all think of this.
To see the whole convo you can go to me blog. www.crystaljeanelf.blogspot.com

Mad Love

Teleporting you to the

Taivaltaja's picture

Teleporting you to the GMroom could be debated that was it really necessary, but I agree with NCA that trading should be kept in trade chat where it belongs. For Ken it might not be so annoying, but the rare time I actually have global on in LoA to try and follow some (again rare) interesting discussion, it's hugely annoying when there's people constantly spamming with colored trading stuff in the global.

For me it just sounds that people in Ken, as well in other servers, have been used to bad habbits when the rule has not been enforced that well in the past and are now feeling a bit frustrated when they cannot keep trading in a channel where it does not belong to. I'm sure that when people gets used to that trade chat is the place to put buy/sell messages in you notice it's a more enjoyable way for everyone: people who want to buy or sell stuff can check from one place (the tradechat) for the items that are macroed being under sell/buy and those messages no longer spams in-between the conversations going on in global. After all, now when people cannot use global anymore to buy and sell stuff everyone actually uses the trade chat when needed; no more only bots in that channel. Everyone wins, right?

But I am just kind of person who likes when things are more in order instead of chaos so maybe my above view is not valid for everyone, hehe. Still, I see the GMRonald only doing his job as NCA clearly is finally trying to clean the house in more than one frontier. I see this only as a good thing because it can finally end up slowly raising the community morale from the mud it has spiraled into during all these years.

And just to clarify, I did not mean this against CJ in any way because I can agree that it wasn't probably necessary to call her to the GMRoom, at least in the light what has been told here. But then again, all of us are just humans and sometimes everyone goes overboard and makes mistakes, as also our reactions as a community often shows.

Have fun, but let others have too :)


I can understand what you

CrystalJeanElf's picture

I can understand what you are saying but here is another issue. I DID NOT TRADE ON GLOBAL. At anytime that night before I was brought to that room for that "talk". So how can he warn me for something I didn't even do? That is outside of the whole debate as to trade on global. lol

global and trade should just be disabled, like they were in the good days of LOA., before they made us a bastardized version of dep.

 And as for monitor... what do you expect for 15¢/hr.

Hey you! You shut the hell

Anju's picture

Hey you! You shut the hell up! do not take my global away!! it is nessary and keep this going for me and many players. I agree Trade chat should stay in that chat.

 

For CJ reason I agree that this time it was not nessary if anything he should have asked her please to not tell player to do something they should not be doing. That would have been fine and CJ had lost anything to say.

Yet he said the wrong thing.

As you have discovered,

As you have discovered, questioning the actions of NC staff is not tolerated or allowed. Just be happy you didn't catch this staffer on a bad day. Long long ago I had one throw a hissy fit and give me a 72 hour suspension. To this day, I can't get them to revoke that crap either.

For the record, the Monitor claimed that I used poorly phrased and wholely pathetic language that was supposed to be insulting or something (all I know was that when I received the chat-log report about it I was like "who typed that crap??"). Anyone who's ever spent any time around me knows that I'm far more...loquacious than that. Here's the kicker though...I never actually said it, not a single word. Good luck getting anyone at NC to see it though. Evidently they believe that "Our monitor's are infallible" which is a complete and utter joke.

Wait...What??


I spoke to LemonCobra about

 I do hope that this does not happen again and we appreciate you letting us know of the issue.

Honestly I am pleased that

Honestly I am pleased that rules now seem to be being enforced, obviously we will have to work some kinks out along the way


This case is not about the

Anju's picture

This case is not about the rules but the way the GM handel it was all wrong.

 

www.lineagedb.com


I see people talk about this

I see people talk about this chat i know CJ for sometime and that was way out of line from the GM , granted no one is perfect but still , and if the rules are the case in point how come NC alows bots and the sell of accounts and items on ebay constantly?   hummmmmmm very interesting 

so i'll take only certain rules apply to certain people and other rules for others ????  


Hi guys I did get a email

CrystalJeanElf's picture

Hi guys I did get a email from GMlemoncobra

but I have to say the responce was truely sad.

here is why...

Hello,

Thank you for your report. It appears that, due to a miscommunication about certain procedures, you were mistakenly teleported to the GM consultation area. We are currently working to clarify our policies with the in-game support staff in order to help ensure that this does not occur again.

Please note that the Trade channel is specifically in place for trade chat. The Global channel is used to converse with the entire server. While we do not have specific filters in place to discourage trade chat in the Global channel, we definitely do not encourage it. The Trade channel can be turned off through the in-game settings. The Global channel cannot be turned off. If a player doesn't want to see trade chat, they shouldn't have to.

Again, thank you for your report. We'll be sure to speak with the individual in question. If you have any more questions, please let us know and we will be more than happy to assist you.

Regards,
GMLemoncobra
The Lineage Support Team

I am posting it not to be disrespectful but becasue I really think this proves why we on lineage1 are so frustrated.

Did anyone else see how he told me that global chat CAN NOT be turned off and that is why they want us to keep it on trade chat!

 

So let me take the time to train your GM's NC Soft..

IF you wish to turn off global chat simply go to your command options or just type /chatoff.

when you are ready to turn it back on simple type /chaton

 

gesh...

Do you mind if I repost this

Do you mind if I repost this on the main forums?

 It is clearly indicative of everything we have been complianing about for years when it comes to the support staff.... Even the highest person at support doesnt know you can turn off global chat and is framing their whole in game global chat policies around that incorrect piece of data...

Yes. The monitor went too

Barryz's picture

Yes. The monitor went too far and didnt have all the facts about the issue, but still chose to pick on you. (I'm a Monitor! Fear Me or I'll Ban You!)

 Yes, the citrussnake in charge is misinformed.

Will lack-o-support figure out the players know more about the game than they do?  I hope Lyzira is telling them that right now.

 


Sk8 .. it's now 3am my time

Sk8 .. it's now 3am my time .. I napped out at around 9pm and your re-post about this thread was still on the official forums , with a few responses and number of views .. was wondering what their excuse was as to why they removed it? It's not there anymore .. go figure o.0 .. pls .. to tell .. leme take a stab at it .. was it cause you 'Named' the NC Staff member who actually Wrote the response to Cj?

Well yeah .. ya think they want EVERYONE to know their main ppl are ignorant as to the functioning of the game they are supposed to 'run' .. 'Police' ... I just wondering what their excuse is as to why it was 'inappropriate' for sk8 to post it .. lmao .. I mean .. it was an 'Official' response from the most highest of support that proves thier ignorance.

As Sad and as Embarrasing as it my be for Gm LC .. censering the truth from the public (it's not like sk8 or cj just 'made this up') is wrong .. and to say that openly dissusing the truth is 'inappropriate' cause of some ppls lack of knowledge no matter what their position is akin to the type of control that Russia exerts over both (theres only 2) of their 'Public' television networks and stinks of socialist communism !!  I think  .. o.0

No word or anything on why

No word or anything on why they took it down.

I read the forum rules before posting the thread... I broke none of them.

They just prefer to silence us instead of let the truth (what we have been saying all along) come out.

Silencing it doesnt make it go away NC!

But silencing us will make us go away! I thought you had learned that by now.

Ok, she says they removed my post because of something to do with life giving us lemons and us making snake flavored lemonade... crushed lemon reptile snacks or something like that...  

I didnt really follow because I was too concerned with why they will not answer the questions that we have, instead of silencing us.

Although this dissapoints me

Tikie's picture

Although this dissapoints me (once again) because now our newest 'NC Staffer' is doggin' us .. it in no way supprises me .. look at the track record .. the way most recient events have been handled by 'NC'
So basicly they abused there Police Powers to save LemonCobras face and the face of "NC Staff" by removing a perfectly legit post cause they 'didn't like it' ..

That's a bunch of (explitive) .. I just lost a lotta respect for 'Our Staff' and this does nothing more that prove what we have all been saying all along .. THey doi what they want, when they want , how they want .. time to decide .. accept Lineage for what it is and just play as best as can be .. or cancle all accounts and go play WoW or something eh ..

They wont even face their own faults (or accept them) how can we expect them to fix the Faults with our Game

 While I fully understand

Barryz's picture

 While I fully understand why they censor thier boards (can't have anything neg about the staff or game). But to ignore a major blunder by a person in charge, who makes policy, is insane. The part that is comical is that if CitrusSnake really didnt know you could turn off global chat, tells us he has never accualy played the game, yet he decides if his personal are doing their jobs correctly.  But what does their job entail??  Support for a game he has never played?  That he only knows what he is told?

 MonXX "Mr.Cobra, we have an issue the players have brought to our attention. It will require us to accually play the game to see the exploit they are informing us about."

LC "Inform them we are looking into the issue."

MonXX "When would you like us to schedule this issue for QA research?"

 LC "QA is too busy working on our other titles that make money in this market, don't bother them."

MonXX "Sir, we will need to address this issue, the players are very angry."

 LC " Have they all quit yet?"

MonXX "No sir, but if the issue continues the servers will implode."

LC "What Game are we talking about again?"

 

Everything Happens for a Reason.

Exact same thing he said 5 months ago after 5 or 6 exchanges back and forth through support with lemon teaching him how and why his monitor was wrong when i got chatbanned for selling in trade with /macro command.... we are currently working on clarifying our policies.

The Global channel cannot be turned off. If a player doesn't want to see trade chat, they shouldn't have to.

Asside from the obvious already stated about the /chatoff command, he doesn't even know their policy, trade chat is not simply 'not encouraged' it is not allowed.

 Whats really sad is hes been running lin1 support for over 2 years, and is still so clueless, its rediculous. My blood boils every time I see lyzria ask anyone to submit a ticket to support... you might as well write it out in word, print it out, goto the zoo and throw it in the monkey cage, cause the monkeys proably have more of an clue about lineage than NC soft support. Its like asking someone, why don't you just take the next 15 minutes of your life and just throw them away... there you go, good. Now let us know if you need any more help, so we can not help you again soon, thank you!

One more note, if you have

PyroAmos's picture

One more note, if you have to deal with support, don't use any words longer than 7 or 8 letters, be very very very clear about what you are saying, and make sure you say it 2-3 times in diferant ways, and don't use any lineage terminology, and if you refer to any in-game features, make sure you explain exactly how those features work 2-3 times. Saying

 Monitor chat-banned me for no reason. I took a screenshot and I have expanded chatbox so you can see the repeats of my /macro and see that I had not said anything inapropriate, and in fact nothing had been said in global for some time.

doesn't work, because they don't know what /macro is, and you havn't explained how /macro repeats a line in tradechat at a timed interval, and you havn't reworded and repeated the paragraph 2-3 times so they can grasp some of what you are saying. Not to mention some of those words are a little to complicated for NC support.

PyroAmos's picture

Mind you that is a real example, I submitted a ticket that read almost exactly like that, lemoncobra's response was

'I was chatbanned because I was spamming global with my buy/sell, as you can see in the screenshot.'

 which after 4 or 5 back and forths on support in which I explained exactly how wrong he was, on several levels of his post, eventually led to the 'we are looking at our monitor's procedures' response I refer to in earlier post.

For the record I am FAR less bothered by tradechat on global than i am by the the fourth grade sexual innuendo that sometimes takes over. Seriously ... how many times do I have to hear how person A wants to have a threesome with persons B & C before NC pays as much attention to that as they do to buying and selling on global.

And illegal if your under the age of 16 nearly everywhere in U.S.A.  Check your local and state laws, you will see minors can not have sex with anyone (also a minor or not) as the laws are written.

  So if your 16 and hookin-up with a 17yr old... your both going to jail when her parents find out.

No problem with the act. Do it anytime you get the chance as far as I'm concerned ... just keep your cyber action off global.

These are all prime examples of the Root Problem .. The Lack of competence in the "Support" staff .. I would cast a vote of No Confidence .. and put together a better Crew, one that is knowledgeable enuff and cares enuff to actually Serve the Community .. the Community that they work for.
