#465650 Unraveling the Unfairness: The Double Standards in Game Moderation

Posted by gim crohn on 02 August 2023 - 09:11 PM

Respect for writing all this but idk why you did. This has been brought up numerous times with Alora staff taking the inevitable position that the staff team as a whole is immune from biases and internally prevents unilateral biased decisions. 

 

These threads also devolve almost immediately into bait, flame, banter, clan polarization and never an actual engaging discussion with the potential for tangible results (as seen above lol)

 

It's clear that although these sentiments may be shared by many, that they're irrelevant opinions to the Alora staff. 

 

TL;DR 

Alora is going to be the way it always is, you can either adapt and find a way to enjoy around this. Or if you really care about this the most powerful thing you can do is to simply, not play.

In recent times, a concerning trend has emerged within our beloved video game community. Players have been flouting the game's terms of service, facing bans, only to find themselves back in the game after a brief hiatus. While this may seem like a fair second chance, the issue lies in the apparent bias shown by the game's staff, who seem to be lenient with their friends' misconduct. This double standard has sparked frustration and disappointment among the community, leaving players questioning the integrity of the game's moderation.

It's disheartening for dedicated players who abide by the rules to witness others breaking them with apparent impunity. The feeling of unfairness arises when unbanned players continue to enjoy the game while contributing to a toxic atmosphere, undermining the hard work and sportsmanship displayed by the majority. The lack of consistent enforcement of the terms of service can breed resentment and discourage players from investing their time and effort into the game.

Game moderation is pivotal in maintaining a healthy and enjoyable gaming environment. While some leniency might be necessary to give players a second chance, consistent and unbiased enforcement of the rules is crucial for fostering a fair and inclusive community. When moderators demonstrate favoritism towards their friends, it erodes players' trust in the system and undermines the sense of fairness that should be at the core of every game.

Community Impact:
The impact of this double standard stretches beyond the immediate repercussions for the game. It damages the sense of camaraderie and respect within the community. Players may feel discouraged from reporting rule violations, assuming their efforts will be in vain if the offender is close to the staff. Consequently, the community's integrity suffers, as it becomes riddled with toxicity, dishonesty, and an atmosphere of mistrust.

Seeking Solutions:
To address this issue, open and transparent communication between the game developers, moderators, and players is essential. Implementing an unbiased and consistent enforcement system that treats all players equally, regardless of their connections, is crucial in restoring the community's faith in the game's management. Furthermore, involving community members in the moderation process through trusted group can provide an extra layer of accountability and impartiality.

Conclusion:
In the face of double standards and biased enforcement, the video game community deserves better. It's time for game moderators to listen to their players, acknowledge their concerns, and take proactive steps to ensure that the rules are upheld uniformly and without bias. Only then can the gaming community thrive, fostering a welcoming environment that celebrates fair play and camaraderie among all its members.

Posted by Selenagomez on 05 April 2023 - 04:30 AM

What is your suggestion?:Add cave worms to scavenger drop table inside of cox

Is this in OSRS?:yes

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:no

How would this benefit Alora?: It would allow people to get points from fishing inside the raid instead of killing scavs. Fishing for points cap like the good ol days :) (also useful for people being boosted that are low cmb and cant farm scavs efficiently)
