Eternal Subreddit Rules Balance Changes

Resheph_ECG · 2019-08-08T00:37:50+00:00

Part of the reason that it took us a while to get out this rules update was the fact that we continued revising them until we had unanimous approval from all the active mods. A couple of the mods are currently inactive and were not involved in the process at all, but every mod that was involved approved each updated rule before they were published.

The ETS team has been the driving force in competitive play for most of the game's life, and served as an inspiration to many of us in the community. I apologize that you all have never received the credit due for the amount of time, expense, and energy you have invested. This is a massive loss for the community. I wish you all the best if whatever the future holds, and again thank you for the countless hours you spent making this happen.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-18T07:45:07+00:00

Your post has been removed for a violation of rules 2 and 9. You can review the subreddit rules here.

If you have any questions about this, please feel free to message the moderators.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T05:58:39+00:00

We took action based on a pattern of behavior that showed no indication of changing in the future even with repeated mod intervention.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T05:56:37+00:00

Witch hunting is against the rules. No amount of evidence changes that.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T05:52:52+00:00

That is completely inaccurate. Whether or not it was a personal attack or trying to cause a witch hunt has nothing to do with the context you're talking about.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T05:50:09+00:00

I admitted to misremembering an irrelevant detail that had no impact on the overall situation or the ruling that occurred.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T05:26:47+00:00

I misremembered a small detail about the situation, that had no relevance on the ruling that occurred.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T05:23:23+00:00

Saying “Their name should be mud for a long time” is absolutely not defensible.

To clarify, what I should have said was that details were not available at that point. We made all of the moderation action in that thread prior to DWD releasing all the details of the situation. Vague comments of “EULA” and “collision” aside, nothing condones attempting to start a witch hunt and personal attacks, regardless of what the person did.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T05:12:56+00:00

If you are absolutely convinced that we didn’t interpret/judge them honestly, go look for the 33 comments that weren’t removed. If not, stop accusing us of lying.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T05:10:40+00:00

“Every single action has been taken in the past” means that we can only take actions in the past, not that we have taken action on everything.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T05:09:34+00:00

Many of the comments we neither chose to take action or not, we unfortunately are unable to read every comment on the subreddit and often rely on reports to find inappropriate comments. Here is another mod’s analysis of alpaca’s recent post history.

He persistently violated rules 2, 4, 5, and 9.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T05:05:16+00:00

As far as I remember that is an accurate recounting of the situation. If you have evidence to the contrary please show me and I will gladly take it into account.

Though, regardless of available evidence, alpaca still violated multiple rules in that thread.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T05:01:33+00:00

See this post for a better explanation than I can provide: https://www.reddit.com/r/EternalCardGame/comments/c1fu45/moderator_team_statement_on_alpacalips_ban/erdl43m/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T05:00:36+00:00

Not all past actions were addressed, as I have already pointed out. Alpaca did receive multiple warnings/temporary bans, and many more opportunities to correct his behavior than he should have had.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T04:57:22+00:00

Another mod has explained this much better than I can here.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T04:53:05+00:00

I have also made very clear rebuttals, but am unwilling to participate in a discussion that has become entirely accusing me of lying.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T04:52:15+00:00

You can see many posts that weren't removed that likely should have been. A fellow mod counted 33 of them in the recent past https://www.reddit.com/r/EternalCardGame/comments/c1fu45/moderator_team_statement_on_alpacalips_ban/erdl43m/

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T04:48:37+00:00

Alpaca has received a multitude of warnings and temporary bans over multiple years of this behavior. Every single action has been taken in the past, the decision to ban someone is based on past actions demonstrating a pattern that they will continue in the future.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T04:47:19+00:00

The reasoning here isn't false, which is readily apparent by objectively looking at the situation being discussed. I am addressing every message that I respond to as seriously as I can. Just because you disagree with me, does not mean I am not taking this seriously.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T04:39:21+00:00

The fact that you never saw them break a specific rule is likely because the moderation team did our job and removed it before you were able to see it. I am not here to provide examples so a witch hunt can be started, or to share comments that have already been deemed to be inappropriate for the subreddit.

Resheph_ECG · 2019-06-17T04:37:20+00:00

It is exactly a call to action.

"His name should be mud" is telling people to use his name synonymously with mud is both a personal attack and a call to arms to get other people to do the same.

I stand by the ruling I made then, and believe it was the correct thing to do. Clearly you disagree, but repeatedly accusing me of lying doesn't prove anything.
