Appealing notes/retiring notes

Post by J_Madison » #205857

Notes are a black mark on a player record. A note, however petty is the difference between a ban and a warning.

As headmins previously said; a Ban can be appealed, however short, and the ban must be able to stand up when challenged.

Does this stand up for notes too?
It is so easy to slap notes onto someone, but what if those notes were made on thin reasoning that collapsed when challenged?

It isn't fair to attach a note into thin reasoning, which could later result in a lengthier ban because the admin banning saw a note, not knowing the context or reliability of the note.

And with that being said about notes; what are official times for when a note is retired and no longer relavent or usable by admins?

Fuck no

We can trust our admins to tell for themselves what notes are relevant and what can be ignored, and anything outside of the last few months is usually ignored unless there's exceptional situations like someone coming back after a long break when they were a shit before they left. There's not a single person who would care enough to sit through the dozens of inevitable "was that REALLY worth a note?" appeals about little edge situations that on their own aren't worth taking action against, but are noted in case it becomes a habit. Notes aren't by themselves a bad thing and may be applied in some cases for technically okay situations that would warrant further action if it became a habit. Dealing with appeals for all those shitty borderline situations would be a ridiculous waste of time for all involved and would go against the entire purpose of notes.

If you feel like an admin has misinterpreted your notes to try and screw you over in a ban, say that in your appeal or make a complaint, no one will sit through the hours of mindless shit that would come with sorting through years of borderline situations that have no context attached to them

Even though I have an objectively wrong note from Saegrimr I'm still thoroughly against appealing notes. They can be edited anyway, you know.

I actually want more detail in my notes because I think I got one from StickyMayhem and it was accordingly done lazily, probably missing details.

Details in spoiler.
Spoiler:
I had a weird situation once where an RD was dragging around a naked cuffed pet changeling and well things got bad when he stung her staff and they thought she was the actual changeling. She just told me the captain to fuck off instead of telling me it was the naked man she was dragging everywhere when I asked if she was a changeling. I crit her when she was coming towards me and the scientist witness in telescience/experimentor room. Then I crit the changeling when he told me to shoot him, to show off his regeneration powers I guess. The RD was medicated on site and didn't die.

Notes are a player's record, the good and the bad. It tells us the sort of person we have an impression of and the history you've had. It'd be counterproductive to their purpose if they could be appealed plus we're not allowed to talk about another player's notes to an unrelated player at all which makes appealing them difficult.
Plus their our suspicions and observations of you if you've been shifty, borderline rulebreaking on a consistent basis or suspected of metagaming and it would be counterproductive to tell a person under suspicion that they're under suspicion.

NSFW:
You`ll need:
1-6 Plasma tanks 1-6 Oxygen tanks
1-6 tank transfer valve
2 Plasma canister
2 Oxygen canister
1 Yellow (empty) canister
Wrench
Toxins lab access
Science testing lab access

Grab a oxygen tank and a plasma tank and bring them to the testing lab.
Super cool the Oxygen and superheat the Plasma.

Clean out the oxygen and plasma tanks with a filter/pump.

Then you wrench and unwrench the plasma and oxygen tanks in toxins. It`s important tha you do it one at a time. Try to get a 85%plasma and 15% oxygen mix.

Once you have a good burn mix, pump the mix into the burn chamber and light it on fire. Wait 10 seconds for it to heat up and pump it into a yellow (empty) canister.

Quickly set the kpa output to 163 kpa and fill the tanks with the burn mix.

Take the oxygen tanks and fill it up with a 613kpa worth of oxygen FIRST then fill the rest with plasma, you should get well over 2000kpa in the end.

With the new atmos system you should wait 5-10 minutes for you tanks to bake.

Take a tank transfer valve, add a oxygen tank and a plasma tank to it. You should have a maxcap bomb. Have fun blowing up the station mining!

Without notes, admins have to rely on hearsay during ban appeals/requests, and everyone hates that, including the admins. Notes are at least a concrete record of exactly what happened when.

I said this once already, but notes should be view able by the person receiving the note.
It even happened once, before scaredy shat the bed.

The main two disagreements In my recollection with this process would be that it might tip off a metacom group, and that it might lead to salty bitches trying to appeal notes.

My answer for that was add in a SubtleNote verb that specifically disallows that, used for legitimate purposes And self policed by admins pointing out shitty subtlenotes in their sekret
clubhouse (No girls allowed)

and for the second complaint Hold your potentially shitty selves and potentially shitty coworkers accountable for potentially shitty noting. If you're gonna put so much stock in notes Then you should live with the scrutiny of it. legit notes will stay, and shitty undeserved ones will go.

It really kinda ties in with your backwards logic for closing the ban req forum, Hiding from your potential failings doesn't really resolve them, or a resolve the need for the product, now people just make admin complaints to get secondary feedback when they don't like rulings, and refusing note viewing to avoid note-appeals is just as retarded for the same reasons.

If your notes aren't bullshit you have nothing to fear. and if they are, why the hell are your notes bullshit?

Also, someone post my notes, I can't remember them all.

actually it got removed because admins use notes to keep track of potential metagamers without letting them know right away, and there was no system in place for secret notes.

Well we have watchlist system, which triggers everytime a guy there joins the server. And the public notes got disabled because the system is not working.

Yeah, a mechanism is needed for double secret probation when it's shittery that they'd hide if they knew the admins were onto them

If they're minimizing/hiding their poor behavior to the point admins (and other players) don't notice it anymore for fear of being caught, hasn't that solved the problem though?

Sometimes it should be possible, yeah. Especially when you feel that admin judgment about said deed was wrong.

Slapping notes on players for minor infractions could easily be used as admin's way of screwing the players over in long term without any possibility of the player getting out of it. Make a note about something they did, omit all inconvenient details of everything that led to that in order to paint them in the worst light possible, and then watch as they get banned with "long history of notes" coming into play, with tons of distorted accounts of events they're unable to defend themselves from.

the objections to open notes are easily solved like I said in a nutshell
add a subtlenote feature, and don't give shitty notes, or notes excluding details or circumstances IE shitty notes.

So... fix it.

What the fuck is this shit
Full note is: Ahelped about being speared into crit, but had succumbed right after getting critted. "Did he spear you to death?" "Yes". When questioned about it, his answer: "I disagree about "didn't murder" part, but okay. Maybe he didn't. Which also would mean that two-shotting someone with a revolver and leaving them to bleed out is also not a murder." When presented with the possibility of being healed, replied: "Okay, fine. I'm guilty of not thinking that a shitter that critted me with a spear would heal me and succumbing." All in all, pretty shitty behavior. Watch out for banbaiting.

No mention of blob or toolbox in this note, but that note is also just weirdly worded and idk. I don't understand it much either.

You're killing me slig.
"Especially when you feel that admin judgment about said deed was wrong." Make an admin complaint, ban appeal and bring it up or whatever. If it's wrong, like actually wrong deemed from headmins, it'll get removed or what not. That's why you elect headmins, so they can rule over the other admins "note" or "ban" or whatever. Except that either you 1) Never did this or 2) The ban and/or note was deemed to be valid.

In your case, you joined supportbus and what not and talked some more and something something happened. Looks like you ended up only talking to atlanta_ned that entire time but I wasn't in the channel for the full thing maybe? So it looks like you never even did number 1.

Another thing is that if you seriously believe there is a giant admin conspiracy to screw players over with notes, I have bad news for you. Your tinfoil hat might be on a little too tightly. But in fact, you're right. Many different admins conspire daily and all of them add vague notes to totally completely non-dickish players in an effort to conspire to rule 0 them.
The real story here is that people with lots of notes are usually assholes. When is even the last time you saw someone get their shit ass long notes get referenced and they were a quality player?

Fuck.

Niknak is out of touch. you realize players don't know they even need to argue bullshit notes because they can't read them right?

And it's not tinfoil hatting, some of the admin team in the past has actually been shitty enough to do that, it's not without merit to speculate that might happen, just look at saegrims screenshot, who the fuck knows what all those mean, or what circumstances they hold.

mitigating factors be damned, whoever got those notes looks like an asshole.

It is true that sometimes players dont know they got notes or what not, and this problem has been brought up before. A system of shown notes and hidden notes has also been brought, just no one has done it yet. You can't force people to code for a volunteer open source.

As far as the screenshot saegrimr showed, are you fucking retarded?

Not sure how this makes me retarded, it's an example of the point I was making, bad note bans can happen, have happened before, and potentially could happen again. Just because it's been resolved doesn't mean it didn't happen, and that it couldn't continue to happen in the future from an alternate source, Lollerderby didn't invent bad notes. Jon Riker (Mario something) had a big drama thing with many of his notes his first go around if I recall correctly. either way, it's not my first rodeo and I know this has happened before.

Basically, what I already said, it's not exactly a tinfoil hat issue with bad noting and speaking as if it is a tinfoil hat issue is badwrong, and you should feel badwrong.

Do I need to sprits water in your face, or hold your nose in your comment so you know not to piss on the forums you dirty mutant corgi?

Me?

Shit, wasn't trying to spit in anyones eye here, we have the best admin team in tgstation history right now and here in the flesh. Really and honestly! No sarcasm at all, and no sarcasm at all in 'no sarcasm at all'

I migrated as a 'pubbie' from goon and routinely had to work around a picture of a gaping asshole goatsie or just quit playing until a real internet community formed, so my criticism of what 'could be' comes from a place of love, you guys are great, my criticism is just how I feel you could be greater.

No matter the hyperbole, I do like you guys, and I do enjoy the game. Hugs and kisses all around. EDIT: the comment 'hugs and kisses' is not sarcasm or satire, we're living in a golden age on this server. period. double period. Not being sarcastic.

"oh god two admins did bad notes, ITS NOT A CONSPIRACY BUT IT HAPPENED"
yep, but two admins who did it and got in trouble (well loller was handled by headmins or maybe he wasn't and who knows about mario, that was in the age of no admin standards), does not make it a "big problem"
It's like you are saying there is a problem when the problem is small and gets handled, IE: "It's happened", what the fuck are you complaining about?
You've always been a bit of a forum bitch and often bring up the "mutant corgi" thing because you get ass blasted. Either way, fuck you and your bad opinions. Splerg all you want in a forum thread, but unless someone codes the system for different notes, nothing is going to change, and personally it doesn't make you any less of a cunt either.

Splerg all you want in a forum thread, but unless someone codes the system for different notes, nothing is going to change, and personally it doesn't make you any less of a cunt either.
You are a bad person.

You are an example of admins not being held to the higher example today because you have gotten away with your particular brand of bullshit thus far. I do not care for how you talk to me, And that aside, you come accross as an offended SJW tumblr queen in everything you do or say

and Though I still to this day leave an open door for you when you are not spouting bullshit, I still recognise you for what you are, just some asshole who ended up an important figure because you were the only person applying for the job.

You are a relic from the silver age who served a purpose of weeding out ban evaders who had to be weeded out manualy. Now that isn't the case, and your shittyness will only be tolerated as long as the gratitude remains. you are on a timer, and the server as a whole will be better off once that timer has reached zero.

I already refuted those points, but nopr. Nope, done with you being a butt-baby.
Anyone with eyes can read. I have low to medium salt, and I'm happy with history remembering me as the voice of reason while you're just some corgi who shoulda just fucked off.

Quit while your ahead, I'm done with this thread, and I'm done with you, I'll do with you what I've done with every teenage autistic authoritarian forum moderator and wait until enough other people care to shame you into either quiting or changing. Buh-bye.

Sure, throw it with the for-no-raisens board, because getting rid of the discussion itself totally eliminated the need for it last time.

better yet, why have a forum at all, it just leads to disputes and fallacies, If it can't be solved in a single ahelp it's beyond our paygrade as a 2d toolbox skull simulator.

Even better yet, let's keep the forum, but refuse to look deeper into anything that's written in it, and instead disparage every 350th post for being worthless. despite your direct ability to resolve it.

This time I'm actually being sarcastic.

sounds like privatisation of administration and a problem in motivation. Personally, I see a pattern with certain admins that avoid taking any action (unless absolutely necessary) which results in a majority of the bans from a minority of admins.

I'd make more policy discussions and scrutinise admins more if it wasn't for the fact I'd be stepping closer to a rule 0 every time. Though it'll inevitably happen within the next 4 months or the next headmin election from what I've been informed.

Notes are really a stealthy way for admins to slowly ban a player. Breath down anyone's neck hard enough and they'll rack up pretty amounts of notes. Reason I feedback on staff often is because I often ask for notes, especially after a round which I got the gestapo treatment by an admin.

Slowly but surely I've racked up enough notes to dictate that I'm a "over escalating player who abuses authority as security" when the scope of each note doesn't go into depth on what had occurred. Admins get half a story.

Some notes aren't blatant bullshit or a nasty conspiracy, but could be worded more fairly to include all the details, I found old post your notes thread which has some of my old notes in it that gives a good example of what I mean. https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic ... tes#p63101

~quartzcrystal19-Mar-2013 | Flooded atmos with plasma because he was bored.

This makes me look like an asshole.. Unless you read it Juuuuust right.
See I didn't flood the station with plasma, I flooded ATMOS itself with plasma, as in the physical location with all the pipes, and I didn't do it because I was bored, I did it because I'm retarded.

Was trying to build a bomb mix burn site from scratch to see if it could be done. (It can, but it can also go horribly wrong) But the note just looks like I unleashed holy hell on the station because 'meh'

Keep in mind I'm not appealing the note, or arguing it shouldn't exist, But it doesn't really tell much of a story does it? And I didn't even know it was applied for a year and nine months.

Hell, take a tour in that thread and you'll see a lot of people unhappy with their notes being only partially correct leaving out key details that make the situation a lot more understandable.


Also from feb 2015

This would have pretty much solved all problems ever. dunnow why it wasn't done.

This is the dumbest thing I've read all day, have fun trailblazing and making a bunch of precedents that will inevitably be misinterpreted in the future and twisted and turned against you, which leads to more screaming and crying about what your rules actually mean (not to mention how you're restricting how people are allowed to play)

Good thing there's already oversight and we review the notes in question in your ban appeal if they are deemed relevant

You people expect a frankly ridiculous amount of bureaucracy and documentation for a video game where the current notes system has been working absolutely fine for years now

There's not a lot of transparency, Shaps.

Whilst I've had positive experiences with a majority of staff, it's easier to burn bridges than to build them.

This is better discussed in a seperate topic. I'll keep this short, but it seems (from my perspective) those that stand up or put up resistance don't last forever.


I'm glad to hear that you'll be extra discrepant on reviewing notes in future.

It's just a game at the end of the day and the players are overreacting, but at the source of the problem I'd say is a small groups of admins that have caused drama (accidental or purposeful) and it has reflected in overall distrust and lack of transparency on what goes on exactly.

It's just not a widespread issue because people don't know it's a widespread issue.
That's kinda the point here, which is why that should be fixed, and we can clean house for unfairly skewed one-liners, which are then used as a factor for further noting and banning.

It doesn't have to be a clusterfuck drama-fest, just course correct, problem solved.

This is where I, someone who has actually worked in the administration extensively and oversee it, disagree with you. Adding another layer of work for admins to sort through with notes that can easily be circumvented by just asking an admin for your notes anyway, not to mention sorting through the fuckhuge layer of notes already out there, is not worth it.

Our admins are already thoroughly monitored by basically every other admin, banlogs are scoured daily, appeals are widely circulated and almost always seen by at least one headmin, there are plenty of checks to make sure that the evil madmin you think stalks you at night won't suddenly permaban you after giving you 50 notes that say "this guy is shit"
