Forum

I want to know which Assist admins are currently running the forums. I was banned without warning or notification, and without a cause. To say I am livid is to say the least.

Banned from the shoutbox without explanation at all.

I was banned from the chatbox just the the day, and I was told on Discord which comment caused my ban, with a screenshot. Fortunately, it’s only for 24 hours and you could still comment in the chatbox via the forum (unless you get a ban from that as well. lol).

I saw your comment which lead to your 24 hour ban, and I thought it was such a non-story, I can’t actually remember what you said.....

In the past 7 days, me, Carmy, Playtronics and Bumpy have been given temporary bans. I really don’t understand what the hell is going on to be honest....

Delete shoutbox, we don't need it.

I can also tell you what is going on. Your Admin Alex is targeting everyone who is against Joe.

Remember - you don't know what you don't know.
Just because Joe and "his gang" don't keep shouting how many times they've been banned on the shoutbox, doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I can guarantee that it has.

When I pointed out his double standards, he muted me. Instead of responding to me as a good admin, he ignored my PM and did not even respond to this post. No one from the Assist  Admin staff wants to dig into why I was muted without cause.

It's possible you were banned on the shoutbox as a mistake. If there's a lof of nonsense on there, it can be hard to pinpoint who's trying to do what. So perhaps your example was a mistake. I do not know.
However, given this thread, I've got a feeling it wasn't.
With that said, we're a busy bunch. We don't have time to reply all sort of nonsense PMs. Believe me, we get plenty of it. Remember - we're running this place as volunteers. Free of charge. In our (limited!) free time. Trust me, it's (for the most part) not for the "fun" of it (especially recently).

I have been in the community for a very long time, as many others, and I don't start trouble, but your admin has decided to show his hand on his bias. The issue is that the rest of the Assist Admins don't want to deal with the cold, hard truth. You would rather delete our post or mute us, which is not the America's Army Way.

I'm sorry you don't like how we try to keep the peace in this community. I must admit, we've not done a perfect job of it. Clearly many of you are mad. Either at person A, person B, or their friends, or just the people trying to keep the peace (i.e the administrators).

I will re-iterate again. All we're trying to do with the shoutbox moderation is to lower the (perceived) level of drama and hatred that is rampent in this community. We're not shutting down any one narrative. If we had, you would notice that there wouldn't be any fighting since there'd be nobody to fight. We're trying real hard to make this community feel welcoming and friendly for new (or returning) players. We're trying real hard to limit the moderation to the shoutbox only. But the commmunity keeps proving - time and time again - that our efforts are futile.

So perhaps we should give up? And just admit that this is a toxic community that nobody should want to be a part of. That we might as well let this game die altogether. It's about time, isn't it?
Surely none of us want that!

All I wanted was an explanation as to why I was muted. If you are saying it was a mistake, I am okay with that.

I did not say it was a mistake.
I said I didn't know. And I said it's possible it was a mistake.
