This is why we have "problems" with CRBs actually getting "fixed".

It is ONLY a CRB if they are acting as one character, a single hive mind. Otherwise he is just copy-pasting characters. "Bad form" but NOT against the CR.


Acfually while I was on pd it was a CRB to name multiple characters the same name and it was enforced that if a player was caugth doing so the player was contacted and informed to name them differently and given the reason why it needed to be done. I would imagine that has not changed.

Actually, they tend to ask what's going on, and gives us time to respond and explain ourselves. You probably had a bad experience.

Oh then they change their minds all the time because I keep hearing the same story from every PD member -- your characters may not interact blah blah blah seperate them.

Well, can you imagine 15 Rigel Kents all together? We need concrete rules, so, yeh, your characters should avoid interacting.

What CRB could possibly be "fairer" for everyone Wiro? If you have a problem with the PD, talk to me. If you have a problem with me, talk to GAB but we do our best to fairly enforce the CR.

Thus we see Cantr, The Matrix and Lord of the Rings begining to meld together. lol and of course Rigel is the much-hated Smith.

Interestingly enough, this Rigel Kent was previously named Nigel. For some reason he felt like changing his name to Rigel Kent and then started going insane.

Alright, can you post that in the CRB forum Joshuamonkey? Maybe at some point the PD will ban him - never mind that... Cantr staff don't ban unless you're given a million chances first. >.<

Ok, can you please get off staff's back. First of all you have NO idea what staff goes through just to keep things fair for all players involved and people like you that can do nothing but complain don't make it any easier. Pd does a hell of a job, you have no idea the work that is VOLUNTEERED into this. Second Can you please at least TRY to make your posts half and half? If you're going to complain try posting the next one without a complaint and something actually beneficial. People are getting tired of your constant negativity and how NOTHING is EVER right with you and your constant bashing of both staff and other players who don't fit your opinion of being good enough to play this game.

No. I'm sick of the dysfunctional staff system. I've nothing against the work the staff does, just the tons of rules they keep using and refuse to discuss and possibly change. And no, I didn't have any idea there were volunteers, I really thought they were hired and paid like all of staff. And how does one complain without a complaint? How about you start making some sense and then I might bother. I'm sick of people defending staff like that just because they work hard and do volunteer work, especially when I wasn't even talking about any staff members but staff in general and their rules and stuff.

Really, how many times must someone break the rules to get banned? Rigel was allowed to troll the forums for months, until he quit Cantr, before that there was no actions taken against him other than countless PMs that were all replied to with a rude response and most of them insulting and mocking as well. It was one of the reasons I went out of CD - there was no way we could enforce the rules properly.

Also, I think it's damn ridiculous how you bring up something old like it's recent, even more so when I apologized for it long ago. I hate people like that. Ran out of things to say or what? Just wanted to be mean? If that's the case then good job because it did hurt. In general it doesn't work to ask people to be nice in a way that's not nice at all.

As sick as Pd / staff / and other players are of hearing you complain about things you know nothing about. You do not have access to the pd boards. YOu do not know that nothing was done, you assume because you don't get the results YOU want (ex. Rigel banned completely). It doesn't work that way, there are policies in place and policies that are followed. IF You have a problem with staff, take it to the GAB or Jos himself but back off of them in the forums, it only makes you look like an ignorant ass. I defend staff because I know the work put into it. I know what they do and I know they do a damn good job of it despite people like you causing MORE trouble they don't need when they have more important things to handle. I make perfect sense. PD enforces their policies. The problem is that you don't like the policies and then when they DON"T change the policies the way you want, you bash them on the forums. Hell of a lot of good that does.

I have seen cases, I have seen many things especially in the case of Rigel Kent where things WERE done and things WERE handled. You do not see the pm's the lockings, the way things are handled. So back off. You have no idea what you are talking about. Complaints again should be taken to the GAB or to Jos himself and then you should respect the decision THEY make. Not your game to make these choices on while you can give your opinions and advice, the final decision is Jos's and the GAB

And you can think it's ridiculous if you'd like, however...I quoted a RECENT post...and every post you make is a complaint...also recent. I'm not bringing anything up from the past, I am speaking of what you are doing NOW. Which means your apology didn't mean a hell of a lot did it. Hate me if you'd like but this is the result of your own constant negativity (RECENT actions and posts)
