Foobrother Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 12 hours ago, El Reja said: I'm not being rude, i'm telling the truth that you don't want to hear and still, you wanna discuss things that won't change cause you have an incorrect view on them. If you take my comments personal, is because you don't have the ability to understand and have a serious discussion where we, staff members, are being constantly being attacked by the same group of people (and fun fact, most of them don't even play TMP anymore). Once again, i never said that we don't have mistakes. Everyone does, and that's why we have GMLs, Trainers and Managers that are constantly reviewing our work. I won't explain how we work internally because i would be breaking the ISP, and that kinda triggers me because i'd really like to tell u how things are done so u can understand what we all are trying to say. Regarding veteran players and stuff, being an old player doesn't mean you know how to deal with things that have internal rules and guides lol. Of course you will have experience with the game itself, but when it's related to moderation, only members that have been part of this team know and understand why we do X thing in X situation, so, explaining that to the public is quite complicated because most of them times they all think that we do the things in a wrong way, when in fact, they are the ones that don't know how to judge a situation properly. Being "new" or "old" on this community changes nothing when it comes to moderation, because as i said several times and i keep repeating myself, we have to go through specific trainings and trial periods where no matter how old you are, you learn what your trainer teachs you. Now, talking about GM Leaders and how they review our work, it's quite known that every GML has their own small group of GMs/RMs and he/she is in charge of reviewing their work alongside GMMs. source: https://prnt.sc/_C9CgQlPD-6J Considering that every GML has their own group of staff members, it's easier for them to check reports, appeals, bans and other internal things in order to see if the staff member is working correctly as per our public and internal rules. As an extra, GMMs also work with them and everything is easier up there, so, as i said before, there's no need to let players judge our work if we already have experienced staff members who do that all the time. You have a wrong "understanding" on how GMLs work. Please take a look at the KB article "TruckersMP Ranks" so you can understand what every role is about. They all have to review the work of every staff members regardless if there's an appeal/feedback, i don't know why you say that they are mainly involved when there's an appeal or feedback ticket, to be honest. And now talking about the last sentence, you've been discussing that in your last few posts. You want to see the punishments because you want to know if the ban length and stuff are correctly issued. Again, you don't know that because you don't have access to our guides and internal rules. There's no point in letting you see that because you are the one reporting, the punishment is up to us. So to resume, we can't say anything because there are "internal rules" and things you can't say to normal players Even if that's true, that's a poor and quite bad way of treating normal players. Don't see why all the rules can't be published? Are you checking sexual orientation of players or age, nationality etc... before deciding of the punishments?! I find it funny that all arguments we have with staff always end up with "there are some internal stuff we do that I can't mention here which explain why I'm right!" In that case, one advise: just remove any information about bans/kicks etc... from the rules. And replace it with "we will process reports using internal rules that we can't communicate and apply a punishment that you won't see for internal reason". At least that's more logical Regarding GM Leads you're still not answering my question: how can a couple of GM Leads review 100% of the reports processed by dozens of Moderators? Are you gonna answer again: "I can't give you the details, but we have some internal tools and ways of working that allow us to review everything perfectly!" Finally as @blabberbeak pointed out, you're not reading or understanding what I'm saying and keep on thinking I want to do your job or decide of the punishments for you. Wrong. I just want to raise errors when I see them (like I have done in the past). Read again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff members will very rarely express their personal feelings. Why? Because they are afraid of losing their role and/or violating the all-important NDA. Though, it only tends to emerge when they are backed into a corner and have no other way to respond — you may call it a "get out of jail free" card. The best staff members, in my opinion, are those who remain silent. It's better to stay mute than to become involved in something and then turn round and say we can't say anything. Rant: Now, unlike a certain person makes out, I don't have any problems with TruckersMP as a whole. However, when they make silly, unexplained changes like this, I expect to be able to voice my opinion without being told I'm making it all up, creating "fairy tales," or inventing conspiracy theories. As I've now mentioned countless times, all I, and I believe many others, are asking for is a clear reason for the changes in question and some way for reporters to identify if the punishments are either temporary or permanent. We don't want gobbledygook from NDA-restrained staff members. If the aforementioned individual wishes to respond with more head-up-their-own-backside comments, please don't waste your time. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna argue on this topic anymore, so, have fun! 2 hours ago, blabberbeak said: I also thought it wasn't really complicated to understand @Foobrother's posts, and still you fail to get his point with a quite remarkable persistence while repeating the same old song of him not being the ones issuing the punishment over and over again.

If he could say, there would be far more transparency, and he'd be able to properly express his views without having to think NDA-first. It's pretty common to see several staff members upvoting other staff members' posts, thus showing their support. You don't tend to see a staff member siding with someone who disagrees with a change. Maybe all staff members rarely disagree with management, or maybe they can't bring themselves to openly disagree — who knows. I'm yet to see an admin or staff member openly join this discussion and ask the questions we're asking, but I'm damn sure there are some thinking about the questions.

So not sure what kind of representation you were expecting. Especially since this is a post about GM anonymity. You're not going to find moderators who would gladly go back to the old system and get a bunch of harassement. 2 Kind regards, StateCA Driver - Bruijn Logistics Rules | Knowledge Base | Support | Feedback | Recruitment | News | Events | Staff Team *Views and opinions expressed are my own and do not represent anything or anyone else.

It's common sense, why would i be scared to say something? I'd not comment here if that's the case. We try to explain things with the resources we have, and if u wanna know more about that then as i said two times, head over the feedback system, make a ticket and wait for an upper staff with permissions to talk about NDA stuff to solve your inquires. 1 Kind Regards, El Reja Game Moderator Leader TruckersMP Rules - Appeal System - Report System - Feedback System Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro that's some tinfoil stuff right there ngl. This "not reading what's been said" thing is spreading. I never said anything about discussing things internally. I'm saying you rarely see people disagreeing publicly. Disagree privately to your heart's content, but that doesn't allow us, the people who matter, to know your opinions. There must be a reason for people preferring to disagree privately and not openly. I know that if I were in your position, I'd have no problem expressing how I felt with the community — positive or negative. I most certainly wouldn't shield players from my honest thoughts and opinions by discussing them privately. Obviously, there are times when you're required not to say anything, and that's fine. But, in my view, it would really improve relations if we saw more moderators and staff members voicing their opinions. I can guarantee you that there are numerous admins and staff members sitting at their PCs thinking, "Why have they changed that? I don't like that they've changed that." 11 minutes ago, StateCA [NL] said: Bro that's some tinfoil stuff right there ngl. Could you please enlighten me?
