Get Rid of Dead Space 1 Moderators
6 years ago

They dunno shit about the game and don't even run the game. I lose Moderator of the game because they act as Microsoft Tech Support and don't do shit regardless.

ROMaster2, remove him. He got mod for no reason in here recently, and he banned me from the site because he act's like he's knows the game.

Dead Space 1 will never be ran if people give these random ass losers Mods when I currently run the game and have over hundreds of runs.

All I see here is profanity and bad mouthing. Do you have any proof of anything you're claiming here?

I'm pretty sure creating a new account to evade a ban is permaban worthy, though I don't know if it is nor if you can even do that. You were obviously banned for a reason, possibly due to badmouthing people for no reason (like this).

Unless the LB has multiple banned runners, his runs were never removed nor were the like 4-5 forum threads he started, they are still there. He's just banned for w/e crap he caused I guess.

Ah well. The original post didn't state any accusations other than badmouthing people.

So rather than try to handle this like an adult, you came here trying to accuse me of abuse? Get your popcorn boys, you're in for a dozy.

This all started when houseparty420 had his run on the leaderboards use a different timing method than the rest of the runs, making it literally impossible to beat his time with the current route. He changed his time in response to the now removed record by another runner who used that timing method. I wasn't really aware of this until SliceableEagle pointed it out on stream, so I went in to check and found out his run was nearly 5 minutes under the timing method posted on the rules: Timing starts on difficulty selection and ending on losing control of the main character at the end of the final chapter. This was pointed out several times by me and SliceableEagle. Eagle was a little hotheaded about it but I commented: [quote][quote]Must start from a new game. Timer starts when you confirm your difficulty Timer ends when you lose control at the end of chapter 12.[/quote]You can't use your own timing method. Either change yours to fit the rules or change everyone else's to fit the new ones you want.[/quote]...but he shrugged it off and deleted our posts.

That's when I contacted kirkq on the leaderboard moderation request thread as he could see deleted posts; he agreed with the runners and I that his run should not be timed differently than the rest when the other runners were complaining and not deleting comments as the solution, removing him as moderator and promoting me and Mattmatt10111, who of which I felt was the most levelheaded of the active runners. I changed his run accordingly and everything was fine; he even still has the world record. A few days later I was promoted to a site-wide full mod, so this wasn't during that. Once he came back, shit hit the fan.

He begins by accusing "the Dead Space 2 Community" of trying to control Dead Space 1 (which is complaining about Mattmatt10111 by proxy, even though he does have a run and knowledge of the game) and goes off insulting them: "Like get the fuck out losers." The crux of his argument to his time on the leaderboard was, because he mentioned in the forums how his run was timed differently than the rest, it was alright. This made no sense.

He goes on rambling how the moderators don't have any runs and act as though they're controlling a game from the runners. To start with, I personally believe that while in most cases there should a runner moderating a game, if run-less moderators are reasonably knowledgeable of the game, competent enough to know how a leaderboard should be handled, and listens to the runners when they would like a change/no change, they're fine for the position. The other two moderators have been rather inactive lately so I can't speak for them but I had/have NO intention on trying to control a game against what the all runners say, especially when I don't run it. This is why Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has a setup different from the rest of the series; the runners didn't like the series-wide system I made, so I've left it alone. (Still hoping they'll change their minds)

He posts degraded into just name calling and tantrum throwing. I gave him two warnings to knock it off but he persisted, and was banned as a result. I later removed myself from the game's moderator list to not be seen as 'head mod', which is a minor problem as being a full mod. I'm still willing to help out if Mattmatt10111 is alright with it.

If he had just maintained his cool and acted like a rational adult, we wouldn't have had this problem in the first place. I did contact the admins about this problem and they agreed with the decision (or at least weren't against.) I don't get how the Dead Space games get this much drama; they've had problems with moderators and runners despite not being a very popular game to speedrun.

Heck of a thread there in the DS forum

Well said houseparty isnt even fit to being on this website if he treats runners and moderators worse than trash, treat people with respect little boy or gtfo. I apologise to everyone else for my behaviour now but house party420 came to me, thinking i would support him however as soon as i started telling him he has a problem with disrespect and acting like hes in da hood just because he has 2000 followers also is this how you treat the opposing streamers "You`ll never be successful here" dont worry guys ive dealt with enough whack-jobs such as minnesotaboyy and the8thhawk on youtube this kid doesnt even know he is destorying his rep
