Resignation from OldCP
•
8th February 2019, 02:20 PM
Since I’m not very active on OldCP, I decided it’d be best if I resigned from Administrator and opened the spot up for someone more motivated and dedicated. I’m not quitting though, I’ll still be around. Especially on Discord. Thank you gents.

Great discussion, Abu. Quick question; I have been pretty decent w/ my activity on OldCP but college started again and I also have a job on top of that, I reach close to 24/hrs a month typically, but sometimes I'm off. However, I'm obviously not going to change around my schedule for OldCP - will someone like myself, and I doubt I'm alone in this particular situation, we'll we continue to get strikes? Simply curious because I'll keep it noted in my mind to try to free of spare time whenever I can.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I think this is a great idea but have some questions as well.
Would someone have to report this Mod for what they did, and how would they go about doing this if admins don’t respond to messages?
What if a Mod is reviewed and is allowed to keep their job but they become a repeat offender once again? Will they be reviewed again or will they automatically be demoted?
What if someone makes a false report on a Mod?
What if a Mod denies someone rightfully reporting them, and there are no witnesses beside the one person who reported the Mod?
I may or may not have more questions as time goes on but, keep up the great work and continue to make this community a better place!

How do you know I don’t respond to messages, you have never messaged me.
The rest of your questions are what if’s, those could be infinite.

I'm really glad to see this system returning! When we had this before, no one really kept track of the strikes or paid much attention to it. I do have a few questions though.
1. Will I, as the head mod, be able to give strikes to moderators if they break these rules?
2. Will the strikes "expire" after a certain amount of time? If so, how long? Whenever Damen did it, he said each strike would expire after 6 months.
That's all I have to ask. Thanks for bringing this back! I hope we can make some improvements upon the staff team with this!

1. Yes, just notify Chelsey or I whenever you issue a strike. You are tre ONLY mod that will have this capability.
2. 6 months sounds good.

this will apply to everyone with the moderator rank right? even if they have another rank? because if they "earned" it then they should follow these guidelines as well
Anyone who has the job of moderating, yes. If they are rank 3 without the title moderator, and they do something like detective inspector, I’d hope they don’t break the rules but yes I think that this rule will apply to all rank 3’ s (they could ban or kick unfairly)

What if a mod ignores someone being harassed and when they ask for help the mod refuses to because it's their friend but instead jumps in with the harassers?
This would go along with breaking the rules. Mods should do their job over relationships, if that becomes a problem then we can handle it as well. There could be 1 million what ifs

i hope some particular mods read this.
shouldn't harassment be a strike too? maybe if its too much.

Yes, that would go under the breaking the rules category worth 2 strikes.

Good morning from the eastern coast of the United States of America.
After multiple incidents where moderators on OldCP have failed to follow the rules that they should be enforcing themselves, I have spoken with Damen and we are bringing back a new system to deal with the situation at hand.
I will firstly credit Empress Chelsey Drake, because I was reading her old posts and in like 2015 she basically made this system.
SO, here it is: The 3 Strike System
All OldCP moderators will start with 0 strikes. Strikes aren't easy to get if you do your job right.
RULES:
- Each moderator must log a certain amount of time per week (unless on vacation or temporary leave that was made aware to an admin) (Time to be discussed with mods later) (Worth 1 strike)
- Unreasonable banning/kicking is worth 1 Strike.
- Breaking rules; for example swearing. 2 Strikes. (This is worth 2 because mods are role models and shouldn't cause drama or trick the rules)
More rules may be added at a later time, but those are the basics for now
If a moderator gets 3 strikes, they will be reviewed by all 3 OldCP administrators and possibly demoted.
This shouldn't make anyone mad, because if you followed the rules it wouldn't be a problem anyways.
If you have any questions please drop a reply below, or DM me on Discord @ Abushekaus#2996
Thank you!

Fondest Memories of OldCP
•
28th January 2019, 04:23 PM
My fondest memory to date is when Skype was big and there was a chat named "War Commando". Tons of people joined the calls. On halloween of 2015 we were on call, and I said to IceeSofie to come to training. I was the Knight Captain at the time so I had a sword and i pulled it out at her LOL. An hour later an OldCP Agent summoned me to the old jail and said "Happy halloween, asshole" and shot me dead. GG
