@delirium thank u frand

If someone can remove all of jackson69's visitor messages from my profile or unappove/approve them again somehow so I get the neverending "Unapproved Visitor Message" notification to go away I'd appreciate ya. Is really annoying and has been there for like 2 months now. @Prez @Liam Brown @delirium

It's not on a monthly basis, they don't get away with it- they just renew their server tokens by using websites that sell tokens and a plugin that restarts said servers when they're banned. Last time I looked into it servers get banned ABOUT every 3 days. Valve has an automated system that bans servers, that's why months back when Nimmy tried to fix our hand models Caution ended up getting banned with literally no rebuttal, the servers went down for quite awhile, and they were forced to switch the servers to another account.

Jokes aside just some actual questions. It seems somewhat redundant to do this on all of the servers does it not? Last time I checked a big part of doing this was fleshing out quite a bit of money for new server tokens every 3-7 days when the servers get inevitably banned, and doing that for multiple servers looked even more expensive unless you were buying an insane amount in bulk. Did you guys not use that automated-plugin (not gonna advertise it), has Valve given up on enforcing whatsoever, sponsored by a website, or is it something new/custom by Liam? If it's true that the servers are going to go down once every couple of days have you guys thought about how that might disrupt the bigger servers mainly like ZE, TTT, JB who's population might suffer? SG had a pretty stubborn, counter-productive stance on this months ago to the point where JB was literally bugged for well over a year out of fear of touching ANYTHING related to Custom skins/weapons/sprays/models etc.. even after I made multiple threads on the topic. I'm genuinely just wondering why the sudden 180 on the subject. At the time a few months back I was literally trying to reach out to other communities with the help of current BD's, AO's to see if Valve would consider changing their stance, remove token bans, or simply start enforcing their guidelines as this is what the guidelines and server list looked like- obviously to no avail. Anyway, just some questions out of curiosity- not sure if this is something that sprouted out of new connections/opportunities with the whole GCC thing but this post was extremely surprising given the past SG has had on this topic.

CT's were already weak beforehand and round-times already too long, was an unnecessary confusing rule change.

Some of those I completely agree with you, others make sense as they add something which can be compared to others for continuity's sake. In some instances an argument can be made for people who are abstaining due to "not standing out", "not admin material", "nothing noteworthy" as 6-15 people abstaining sometimes can really mean the person has other underlying issues that can be seen through reading the application, looking at stats, past history etc... With all that being said I think that useless Abstains with no content to them should be removed, as any other vote would be dealt with. Votes such as "Abstain. Don't really know you too well, but you seem nice and respected. Good luck!" have no place in an Admin Application, and letting them stick around encourages more idiots to post shit just like it for various dogshit reasons. Removing abstains sounds pretty counter-logic, encouraging people to actually enforce what is already in the Guide probably better in the long run.

Mmm, actually you were banned for flaming another player after being told to stop numerous times to the point where it was also becoming hardcore micspam. I don't play JB anymore but, it will always have a special place in my heart. I've droned on about what was hurting Prison Break in the past. Problem with Prison Break isn't that there is a lack of players, that's the effect. The source issue is that there is a lack of admins/quality admins, lack of quality oversight/management, and the way the server is setup (vanilla/everything manually done) makes it so much worse. You can't have a server that is almost entirely managed by rules but then at the same time have a lack of admins, rare updates to said rules/server, and super far & inbetween events. The playerbase was also notoriously obnoxious/childish which drove away a lot of the more mature/older players, led to admins not wanting to play there, and started a vicious cycle of many of admin candidates just being flat-out awful (also due to CS:GO containing much more morons). These people abused the shit out of powers, slapped people way too often, would skip protocol, spread false rules, CT ban for too long, had shitty attitudes, made the playerbase angry and created lots of havoc among our staff. People will make this problem more complicated than it is, but that's just the truth. If no one is going out of their way the same way every other server at SG has done in the past to actively make the server better it is only natural for it to decline or take small hits. A gangs plugin with shitty upgrades isn't gonna fix it, lightening up on ban protocol which will fill the server with the same childish cancer people complain about is not gonna fix it, and sitting around complaining or offering solutions will not fix it. The server needs someone to actually make shit happen, and even when I was around working my ass off around the clock it was still not nearly enough to propel the server into past success. The Events, Rule reworks, Shop/Model ideas, CT bans interface, scouting for more quality admins and if not adding a Guard plugin is all necessary shit that needs to HAPPEN, not be simply talked about- actually happen. Just my two cents.

why doesnt all ts have anything nice to say about anybody

ZE started this event from nothing (rank 2000-), TTT was pretty much the choice winner for the first month until everyone worked their ass off making events, afking the server, giveaways etc on ZE.. TTT has had it's rank been way higher than it currently is, and well within the top 100 numerous times. There were many days in the past few weeks (some days such as weekends and fridays) that make no sense for TTT to have the low players it did (hovering around 24 or lower). If people concurrently worked for the win on TTT's end, it was an extremely achievable win. Blaming the slot size saying you "cant go over an average of 30" when ZE averages 13 players makes no sense logically or mathematically.

As a general rule of thumb basically don't feed dogs anything that you haven't actually looked up online prior, or know to not be harmful. I've had dumbass friends feed their dogs stupid shit because they've "never heard it was bad for them" and the laundry list of things is way too long to have that attitude in all honesty. You hurt this poor corgo everytime you act like a dipshit.

all of these messages are seemingly approved yet im still getting this neverending notification

I'm not sure what this is specifically being used for but the main things I'd say are the video source being low quality (poor focus, stabilization, framerate) which is something you already mentioned and the video being relatively long. Queuing things up to music only works for about a minute before someone (maybe just me) wants to stick a gun (no pun intended) in their mouth but being that it's a gun repair/maintenance type service I sorta understand why it would be longer. I think you could of clipped off atleast 40 seconds of this and it would of made the shaky, walky, wobbly, unfocused shots non-existent if not less noticeable. With those changes it still would be a cool little thing to throw up around social media as a promotional while still showcasing all the cool artisan-type shit this guys got going.

This is probably the best/only compliment I've gotten this year.

I remember the first time I learned people were retarded chimpanzees.. I started reading a book when I was 11 called the tipping point by Malcom Gladwell.. good book, some anecdotes on psychology, some interesting sociological stats. I was reading In math class, because who needs simple algebra when you can do quantum physics and college level computing when you're 12. A girl asked me what I was reading, so I showed her and her knee jerk reaction was that "oh there's a number in that book with a percent, I can't read it. I went home and did some IQ research and found out that my iq was over 400, and I did the standard deviation math and realized that if the average human's processing power is 93 in this country, and a cockroaches processing power is 25ish, that the average human has a lot more in common with a cockroach than they do with me. Basically, I'm just too smart and amazing to fit in with the rest of society.
