Sorry, but I'll have to agree with Bud on this one. Once again, you're
just acting like an ass to have something to talk about. What part of
"The CA is not the GK's responsibility" don't you get? If the GKs can do
nothing about the CA, then complaining to them about it won't do squat.

Then again, accomplishing nothing never stopped you before, so why
should it now? :P

[View Quote] You've missed the fact that it's their responsibility to make sure the
CA doesn't eject people for saying hi. You know, to report little
things like that. Not just going "oh... everyone's getting ejected for
saying a word that's really not that bad."

Spare me the AWI is protecting themselves routine. If AWI really wanted
to do something, they'd throw the damn book at this kid. Report him to
Boston's, or M A T T's local town's, FBI computer crime division. Not
adding silly things to the universe message or asinine words to the CA's
eject list like "confederate."

But no. That surpasses your and BinaryBud's "old guy" logic and
therefore voids the reasonable and _intelligent_ course of actions to
this problem.

When'd it stop you? Oh wait, it hasn't.

Well, the point here is not who you was ejected by, a bot or a person, but
the fact that people are ejected out of no reason.
I have also stated before that I belive that most GKs do an excellent job,
but as always if even one in a group acts badly the whole group gets easily
bashed.

I have not been ejected for a while now, so I have forgotten; do it tell you
who you are ejected by ?
People HAS asked AWI to do something about this, but they have choosen not

The world caretaker can see who ejected who, however the Customs Aide
only ejects for 5 minutes. My best advice would be to not complain over
a 5 minute ejection as it's extremely trivial to do so (by the time your
complaint letter is done, your ejection has expired anyway.)

It is more a matter of principes. If we are going to tolerate a small
portion of wrongness, next we will have a bigger.
Maybe if somepne would spank you only 5 minutes per day, you should not
complain; next time they will do it for 5 minutes twice per day, maybe you
shall not complain yet. If you will be spanked a bit more every week; when
would you think is the apropiate time to say : no! ?

I think it's time to say NO to you! enough is enough....stop your petty whining.
It's a 5 minute time-out ...... much needed if you ask me....and totally harmless if not.

People like you make life easy for dictators and such; you are always
prepred to take shit from others .
I do not bloody care if an ejection is for 5 minutes or 5 months, if it is
wrong it is wrong.

Getting ejected is something I feel ashamed over, it is a punishment for
doing somewthing wrong. It is like if the cops starts to give you small
tickets now and then randomly; just small tickets. My policy is, I do not
take shit from anyone, not even a little, unless I deserve it ( then it is
ok).

Again I will say that the CA Bot does not have anything to do with the GK's
as a matter of fact we have no control over what words are added or removed,
yes we can give impute but it is up to AWI as to what is added and removed.
They decide what words or names are to be added to the GK's list of
EOS=eject on sight.... We are given a set of guidelines and it's the GK's
responsibility to follow them. If in fact you feel you have been ejected in
error then by all means file a complaint, that is the only way to weed out
any GK's who may not be following the guidelines. Anytime you have a large
group of online volunteers, you will run into people who do not hold up to
the standard they projected in their interviews but you cannot hold the
entire group responsible for one GK's actions. You also cannot hold the GK's
responsible for who the CA Bot ejects as I have stated "We have no control
over CA".

Bowen I have always liked you and never had any problems while your in gate,
but you have been around long enough to know there are ways to handle things
and your bashing of GK's really disappoints me. I expect it from the newer
citizens who do not know how things go but not from someone who has been
around and has seen the way things are handled. Probably one of the biggest
gripes a GK has is that we are constantly under fire from citizens because
we do not show special favoritism towards friends, or because we do not let
friends step across the "G" rated line. We are continually under fire from
people who think just because they pay a little money they can do whatever
they want even if that means breaking the rules of conduct. If you have
forgotten the rules please type in "World Rules" next time your in gate,
those rules are what the GK lives by, like it or not it's just the way it
is.

One other thing then I will step off my soap box.....Most GK's are not happy
with the choice of words that have been added to CA, some feel more words
should be added, in the long run you have to remember this......You cannot
make everyone happy no matter how hard you try. If in fact you are not happy
with the way things go in gate then I suggest finding somewhere new to hang
out and leave the gate to those who really need it...The newcomers!!!!!!

[View Quote] I disagree. Every GateKeeper I've encountered does show favoritism to
their friends. Especially the one time one was doing nothing but saying
town names that would definately be described as sexual ineundo. I
casually told the GateKeeper that maybe he should do his job and be
aware that this is a G enviornment. Then he threatened to eject me
because I said it against his friend.

The World Rules says please refrain from discussions, harrassment, etc.
It does not say you're ejected on sight of saying things that could be
construed as bad or evil.

Oh, yeah, probably words like "dick" which is short for Richard. Maybe
even keep prick... I pricked my finger on a needle.

GateKeepers that follow the rules well are rare and almost unheard of.
Whispering to me because I'm just talking to myself (please stop
spamming or I'll eject you), and it's not even happening frequently --
more like I'm saying something every 15 seconds and everyone else
stopped talking so my chat is the only chat that appears. That has
happened to me twice. Then being ejected for asking for confirmation on
a word so I'd know exactly what it is... and everyone else was still
there since I was the only one ejected (and not even a warning). Oh,
there's so many damn reasons to count.

Would you like a little cheese with that whine? Why are YOU going to the gate to "test" the GK's? LOL
It's NOT your job to do that....so let it go..... take a deep breath and let it go.
We're talking about 5 minutes out of someone's VR life....LOL
Here ya go Bowen....try to not say "Hey Dick, Why'd you prick your finger?" if you can avoid saying that in public, at the Gate, guess what you'll get along just fine..:) LOL Your complaining about it is almost as funny as being ejected for saying those things...LOL

Very well said Leo, it's not up to citizens to "test" the GK's and Bowen if
you have a question about a word....My Suggestion is "you know that little
box that types in BLUE? Yeah the Whisper box, you won't be ejected for
asking in whispers and if you are then you have the chat log to back up your
complaint. I'm now done with this petty arguement. Take a chill pill and
remember don't Prick your finger while talking to Dick. :o)
