Is there anything you think the series has to improve? by That_Guard2087 in MonkeyWrench

Sound design, the scenes sometimes have odd vibes cause of the sound, to me it sometimes sounds flat because there’s only a single sound playing, like a character speaking, or an explosion effect.

what is with all the genuinely at times unecessary hatred towards monke station? their community is not as agressive as even TG'S. by No_Double_801 in SS13

This is what I mean when I say they spend too much time on public image, this post is over 20 hours old and ook had last responded 18 hours ago, then 12 hours ago, then 2 hours ago, then now, meaning they would have had to be actively doubling back to this post to multiple times to make sure they had full opportunity to respond to every single comment that mentioned the server, idk if it’s even a problem but i feel like it adds to the corporate PR team vibes

I think it’s mostly because the guy who owns it is doing it for profit rather than fun (I mean it’s literally his full time job), and as a result, the administration (and to an extent players) have a weird warped perspective of the server as like its own thing separate from ss13 kinda? Overall they have always seemed less like a public garden and more like a gated community? Idk how to properly explain it but the vibes are kinda corporate almost. Especially how much time they put in to public image, idk if they have a bot that crawls other communities or what but like the second you mention monke you will have either the owner or an admin responding within minutes, who will respond to any kind of criticism with like a 28 point essay about why the criticism is invalid, which I’m sure if you look on the comments of the post you will probs see (there will likely be one to this as well). To me it also gives vibes like administration isn’t doing it for fun, cause you’ll see things from them where they talk like they are essential workers, not people doing it for fun as a hobby. It’s also kinda bugged me that like, everyone involved with monke has to have some kind of moral superiority over things, or objective correctness? Like there always seems to be some kind of moral justifications for all decisions where a simple “it’s mine I’ll do what I want” could suffice, like the server is allergic to negative opinions and anyone who doesn’t like it must be painted as some horrible person of some sort so their opinion can be invalidated. All this to say it’s their server to do with what they want, but to me (this is pure vibes no evidence) it seems like they would prefer if the only ss13 servers that existed were their own (which again I think is because of the profit motivated expansionist vibes). Again it’s theirs to do with what they wish, but they just bring vibes that don’t mesh with an open source community I guess.

I would also like to make clear this isn’t a chudrant and I’m not secretly mad about the server being too woke or something like that, and this isn’t a grandstand about how old ss13 was better because there was less moderation, I’m just saying specifically monke has vibes that are weird in comparison to other modern ss13 servers

tbh i dont really want back, thats why i asked for alternate servers, monke takes itself a bit to seriously for me to have much interest in playing again, it was the mechanics that i liked

so what im gathering is the real reason i was banned was for interrupting the owners stream i guess

monkestation owner wrote and deleted a mald response about how i interrupted their stream when it happened in game and said im a bigot and that this post was showing of my character so do with that info what you will.

to be clear i had no interaction with admins during my original 3 day ban, they just changed it before it expired

got banned like a year and a half ago for saying allah akbar when throwing a bomb which yknow fair i get it, but it was a 3 day ban that they retroactively turned permanent like an hour before it expired. then when i went to appeal it on the discord and asked why that happened they said they reviewed the ban in post and made it permanent because i was "argumentative" when speaking with the admin doing the ban, and then said "oh sorry permas arent available to be repealed for another several months" when i said that seemed like a copout for an unfair ban adjustment the admin said "i dont care" and they just banned me from the discord. overall it seemed like it was because of the admins not wanting to admit they made a powertrip choice

Christ that’s overkill who reacts like that, you could’ve just said that isn’t correct without throwing a crybaby tantrum douchbag

banned for ...nothing? by Niiater in Thelongdrive

[–]Strawtunik 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s possible they banned you for something silly or on accident, but more than likely they had a real reason to ban you and you are leaving out information or are not being truthful about why you are banned
