[Resolved] Staff Complaint - ReadThisNamePlz

BYOND Key: Lord Lag

Staff BYOND Key: ReadThisNamePlz

Game ID: bXa-c5NY

Reason for complaint: ReadThisNamePlz appears to become rather agitated at the idea of being wrong, which I find to be a critical flaw in any Administrator or Moderator. I can appreciate the sentiment, but I fear snarky responses and dismissing any rebuttal to a normal conversation with immediate ticket closing is a rather ham-fisted approach to being a Mod. The plot twist here being I'm not contesting the note placed. I find the idea of it acceptable in retrospect. No, I'm only focusing on their attitude in particular. Especially as they seemed to be blinded by their issue so hard that...they actually agreed with what I said.

They also straight up told me to just make a complaint. so I did.

Evidence/logs/etc:

Additional remarks: I love you man. But you need to be reminded to chill out.

Tickets are not meant for conversations. While I appreciate that you came here to make a complaint (which are meant for conversations about a certain issue), A ticket is not. It was also at the end of the round and we had to wrap things up, there was not time for a thirty minute discussion over a simple issue.

Let me paint my side of this and why I became snarky at the end.

While I do not mind being wrong, as I am human and I will make mistakes, the tone you used in the end of the ticket, trying to tell me what a note is, etc.

A note is simply a summary of a ticket, explaining why you were contacted, what took place during the ticket and the outcome + directions for future tickets if the issue is repeated again. The moment you said "Incorrect" is when I was taken back by your arrogance when it comes to notes/the administration side of the staff team.

Which is why I asked "Which one us are the staff member here?" When someone tries to tell me how to do my job as a Moderator, which I have done for nearly nine months now, I take it a bit personal.

Now, I didn't mean for it to be insulting, I didn't mean to step on your toes at all, but the way you worded your statement was extremely condescending, or atleast that is how I took it.

Now, regarding the issue itself. The AI is a slave to the station/NanoTrasen. You are supposed to follow four laws, easy to follow laws. The one that was being the Serve and Protect rule, while yes, you are not supposed to allow harm to come to crew, simply ordering a borg to arrest an officer due to a command vote that declared them a fugitive does not harm them, it simply incapacitates them. You were law-lawyering which is against the rules, under the "Roleplaying characters" category.

The note simply outlined this and said what to do if it continues.

I am not contesting the note here at all, which is stated in my post. I am simply contesting the attitude.

And to clarify, heres some examples I dragged up.

I'm not a moderator, but I'm not a new greytide either. What I said was not arrogance. It was rather factual. they do factor in. as I said. Something you agreed with even.

Notes do factor into punishments, depending on the severity. They are simply a log/summary.

My attitude towards the end was indeed snarky, and I'm sorry about that, but from where I was sitting and how I read what you had sent, I took what you said to be very condescending. Maybe this is all a misunderstanding.

My attitude was not fair towards you at the end, and I'm sorry, but I would like to ask you to look at it from where I was sitting.

I had messaged you over a small issue, hoping you would understand and resolve it easily, but instead I got a two ticket long argument over something that didn't need to be argued over, and some comments by you that seemed both condescending and hostile.

Maybe you weren't trying to be, but that is how I perceived your responses to what I had addressed.

That was not the intention, no. But perspective is everything and I am sorry in turn if my way of speaking comes off as terse and blunt. I think we have reached a common ground here in understanding.

[mention]Lord Lag[/mention], do you still wish to pursue this complaint?

@Lord Lag, do you still wish to pursue this complaint?

No, I believe it is resolved.

Good to hear. Locking and archiving.
