We really need a couple full time nighttime mods, at least in the us time zone. Racism and caps being spammed for about the last hour in chat and this isn't the first occasion of this happening and no one around. From about midnight eastern time until 5ish am eastern time there is a big lack of any mod presence the last couple months. I know some are online during this time, but not always active in chat. Very much needed.

Why on earth would this not have been thought of before?YES we need mods to cover ALL times- If a mod cannot be around when they should be, then something needs fixing(yes I know real life happens), but as poster said usually is someone around this time, but not active

There is 24 hour coverage normally. It is the holiday season so coverage is patchy while people travelling / spending time with family etc. I expect normally coverage to return shortly.
The issue that happened today has been bought up in staff and I will get something in place so it cant happen again.
We have mods all over the world so coverage should be good.

this was an unfortunate coverage gap and I apologize for the inconvenience that it caused everyone.
There are some additional anti-spam measures that I am planning to put into place that will help with these types of situations in the case where coverage is lacking for a period of time.

At least you can /ignore. Not sure if some kind of vote muting would work.. it might get exploited to mute players just for fun.

That's been discussed a number of times shekki by staff and my proposal was shot down, as it should have been  . There is just no way to properly ensure that it would never be abused and it's probably the wrong approach. |

There is just no way to properly ensure that it would never be abused and it's probably the wrong approach. I think you can ensure there is little to no abuse by having very harsh penalties for anyone who partakes in abuse of the system. Any type of player voting for muting would need to be logged and reviewed by staff. Any abuse would need to be a minimum 24 hour ban for all involved with increasing severity for repeat offenders imo, that way you can ensure that the system would only be used when needed. It would have to be zero tolerance but I think if everyone knew that, and there was some sort of pop up or something when each player went to vote telling them of the penalty for abuse, it could be an effective system. Also making a minimum battle/ts level requirement to vote will prevent new players from claiming ignorance. When you first reach whatever minimum that allows you to vote on mutes, auto send a brief note to their message box saying they can now participate in the voting system and explain the way it works and then explain the penalty for abusing the system. That would work pretty well imo. |

I think that there isn't enough viability for this suggestion. The discussion has stagnated and no clear resolution has been presented, so it's being locked and rejected. If stabby feels like he wishes to revisit this again, he will reopen this thread.
