I am the Moderator of the game World of tanks and i am currently setting the game up, that means rules and categorys are not final. Thats why i made this thread:https://www.speedrun.com/World_of_Tanks/thread/iyspa/1#khw5m one user has posted there that he could help me, suggested some new rules and wanted to be a mod. He then submitted a run which was timed 10secs short, so i edited the time and approved it. He then deleted the run and resubmitted it with the old time, so i rejected the run. he then made a post in the thread suggesting he will report me and making all kinds of false claims. I dont want to deal with this spam and harrasment and wanted to ask if there is a way to block the user.
There's not any way to block users right now. I've stated that should be a prerequisite for implementing a Private Message system (at least as it pertains to the message system itself.) As it is most of the site content is public, not private. (A thought of blocking forum posts by user might be reasonable, but maybe not a common implementation) Most board specific issues have to be dealt with by the boards themselves right now; a tighter layer of control over that in the future would be useful.
If it gets out of hand site moderators can ban, but as it is it's just some guy being overly brash and disagreeable.
Not to start an issue, but JakeRook, from what I have seen, you asked to be added as a moderator in your very first post. About your ingame timer end, it might be true, but the rules were set for a different point. But instead of discussing, you tell him to make you moderator so you could change it. Also, from what I have seen in all runs, is that ingame time is not shown at the end. And there are always factors like lag, which might make the In game timer not working properly. But yet, I saw you not trying to discuss, and instead start to insult him. Others gave you suggestions on things, you just threw them out of the window.
You started to post to remove him in every of your posts. And when someone corrected you, you started to insult that person as well. Did I even see you compare him to Hitler? Kid, please seek some help. An attitude like that will never help, and will make people take you less serious.
Now, for your points: Ping is a huge matter for timings. If you actually did understand things, the ping shows how much delay there is on your inputs to the server. You want your ping as low as possible. A ping over 1000ms means you have 1s lag. This is a huge factor in speedruns, as it messes up with your times.
RNG is a thing that is best avoided. There are some RNG runs, but it is more dependent on luck than on skill really. Sure, you can show skills there, but the second place in an RNG category could have gotten rotten luck, while he would be a lot more skilled than the first place who got a lot of luck during his run. This is why runners prefer to limit the amount of RNG in their runs as much as possible.
He also did not ignore suggestions. He ignored your demands on making you a moderator, and declined your runs because you cannot follow the rules. You submitted a run in a category that does not yet exist. Instead of requesting it, you just placed it. He has been in his right the entire time, and if you dislike it, don't run it.
Removing his mod status will not result in anything. You will never be made a mod, with your current attitude. You claim to try to help him, but you are pushing your own points through, and insults those who disagree with you. It is not tcd11 that has no respect to speedrunners, it is you. You disrespect a community, speedrunning in general with your claims, and even a full moderator with your statement. Your years of experience in playing the game, does not amount in experience in speedrunning the game. Gaming and speedrunning are two entirely different things. So, for the sake of every speedrunner out here, stop your claims, insults and anything else, and look at yourself. And don't take it out here, keep it to the World of Tanks community.
"This is why runners prefer to limit the amount of RNG in their runs as much as possible. "
I'm straying off-topic by saying this, but I think it's unfortunate that people feel this way about RNG. For me, randomness makes things more interesting. There is skill not only in basic execution, but also in one's ability to adapt to given situations. That's also where races come in. If two people of supposed equal skill race a game with zero RNG, one of them will win the race. Was it good luck? Was it exceeding skill? It's a combination of circumstance and skill. "Luck Is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."
Oh, and please don't take my remarks as any sort of comment on the main issue. I am speaking solely towards your few comments on RNG/luck/skill, completely out of the context of the thread.
@kobepilgrim I sometimes like a littlebit of rng in a speedrun to make runs different from eachother, but in this case in a random battle there is sooo much RNG, you cant choose the map, you cant choose your 14 teammates,their equipment or tanks, same applys for the enemy team + the RNG in shooting, penetration,damage etc. Yes you can adapt, but even perfect gameplay will not guarantee you a win, even less a good match.
Tutorials of online games are allowed on this site but a real game with an ending like Babysitting Cream isn't. smh
I am more talking about pure RNG games. An example is Minecraft with random seed generation. That can mess you up at the start already, or give you a great start. A bit RNG in a game is fine, but I was talking about a game or category that is fully RNG based. Something that JakeRook wanted as well, and used it to insult tcd with it.
But still, it still stands that runners prefer to limit the amount of RNG in their runs. Even if prepared, bad RNG cost time.
Yeah, true.
That reminds me of this one game (this is a terrible example without knowing the name, but bare with me :D ) Basically, there's a mode where you can have the cpu do everything, so the speedrun is basically like playing a slot machine, haha

- I do not agree about RNG , RNG is controllable thing by player. [/quote]
Not always.
[quote] 2. He actually ignored suggestion. [/quote]
He didn't, otherwise he wouldn't have responded to you.
[quote] 3. Yes i will not respect community with wrong rules. And i will respect if its right. [/quote]
If you don't respect the community then you shouldn't be here. If you can't show / have respect for others, then you have a big problem sir, you should really work on it before trying to force your opinion / rules on a leaderboard.
[quote] 4. Ping have nothing to do with time, black screen moment means time of how fast client pc hardware load this screen. So you are wrong. [/quote]
Ping affects online games, World Of Tanks is an online game. Sorry, you're wrong.
Now, please, be civilized and listen to others instead of rejecting every reply that isn't close to your opinion and ideas. A leaderboard is a place for a community about the game, and since it's a community, it means rules, ideas, changes, should be decided by the entire community, NOT just by one person (in this case, that's you).
