BurgerBB Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 BYOND Key: BurgerBB Staff BYOND Key: queenofyugoslavia Game ID: bVU-c4Vp Reason for complaint: Warned for talking in all caps as a rescue medical borg during an emergency situation. The warning I feel is incredibly unnecessary given that as a medical borg I need to speak in all caps given the fact that I'm relaying incredibly important information. During that round, as borg, I rescued several people in life-threatening situations/conditions while relaying important information and instructions while the wizard's minions were murderboning crew. While typing in lowercase, I was generally ignored because the chat moves so fast with clutter. I had to result to turning on caps lock to relay information. If you're willing to check the logs, there were several instances where I had to tell crewmembers to move out of the way repeatedly.
Lady Fowl Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 You were talked to prior about this. After the warning you didnt talk in all caps but I have noticed in the past this happening and determined to make the point of this is not ok to do and comes off as very annoying was to apply a warning as it doesnt seem like you cared what Juani had said. It comes off as very annoying and is generaly obnoxious and is used as you said yourself to help people OOCLY pay attention to you.

It comes off as very annoying and is generaly obnoxious and is used as you said yourself to help people OOCLY pay attention to you. I'm well aware of the conversation with Juani that spawned because of a single complaint. The conversation wasn't ignored, as I'm 90% sure that warning I've talked in all caps as a borg or any other character for that matter since FLAWED usually never pursues medical roles. Are you referring to me typing in all caps "in the past" before or after the warn because I absolutely do not recall any instances where I broke that breach except for one instance where it occurred on the same round I was warned on. Also I recall that there was an extra deal that was mentioned in the original Juani bwoinking me for typing in all caps. If that's on record, I would very much like to see it for future reference.
Lady Fowl Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 [mention]Juani2400[/mention][mention]Sharp[/mention] Can both of you look into Juani's note and Can Juani please put his side of the original note down
ShameOnTurtles Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Alright. I have looked through logs of everything you said up until you got warned, the PM conversation itself, and the warning wording. Juani is on break at the moment so unfortunately they are not available to clarify the note. However, I see it as primarily regarding memey behavior by your cyborg- which then caps are a consequence of. Looking through the logs, a solid majority of your messages are containing critical information, and in caps. However, that said, there are also many messages that aren't but still are capslocked. Generally, speaking in all-caps is discouraged because it is not a believable speech pattern; even for a cyborg/android/robot. You are free to use caps, but do not just engage capslock for the rest of the round. Use capitals to convey important information only. Capslock is an OOC internet speech pattern, where as utilizing capitals to 'shout' ICly isn't. If people see you constantly using capitals, they are going to ignore you the same way they will ignore you if you speak with no urgency. It's a balance. With that said, I will be retaining the warning, however changing the wording of it. I will be locking and archiving this in 24 hours.
