Whatever you may think of how Boston (Addy) behaves, you might do well to consider that while you have just "met" him, some of us and many of those in Masters have known him for almost ten years. It's possible that there are things you are unaware of behind the scenes. It is also possible that those of the Masters that have commented here don't care enough about your opinions to justify their decisions to all of you.

And neither do I care how they are running their clan. However if you are the moderator who keeps giving Boston a pass you should probably ask for a removal of your moderator rights since you are obviously biased. If not then you are hurting the site since the moderation process is accepted by players under the condition that the rules apply to all players. I know it from being an administrator in my clan that people react very sensitive if they feel there is an inner circle to which the common rules do not apply.

Also it's not that funny for the opposition to get insulted in their games. I sometimes found myself checking Addys profile first before I joined a certain Clan War template which he also plays to see whether he is playing currently.

That's one of the biggest cop-outs of an excuse I've ever seen in my life. "Yeah dude, you can't judge him for being a toxic prick online, he's got life issues." Guess what dude, we all have life issues. And it's not like we're making any claims about him as a person; we are merely making the (fairly obvious) observation that he's a toxic prick online, as are many other members of his clan apparently.

If you want us to empathize with him and see him as a person, that's fine. But it's a two way street. You gotta give respect to get respect. Apparently you simp for the "Master" clan so hard that you legitimately think it's perfectly fine for them to act as disrespectful as possible to other members of the community, but if we judge them for it, it's "unfair."

That's some highkey nonsense. And if you are a moderator, like Norman said, you should 100% lose your moderator privileges. If you legitimately think the community is in the wrong here, you aren't just biased, you're straight up willfully blind.

@sanmu: I used to play some (by then standards) high level real time 3v3 Europe games back in the days (2013,...) where Boston also frequently joined and there were some in depth discussions about life and stuff. The games took maybe 1 hour to start since the casual players were too afraid to join. Out of that group of players clans like 20 emerged. I don't remember running into Beren there but I believe I understand his point. In fact if you are in Bostons "circle of respect", he can be pretty nice and I don't care about the MASTER Clan having him in their clan. However I do believe that whichever moderator is giving him a free pass is hurting the integrity of the moderation process on this site which people actually do respect on the basis of the moderation being mostly disinterested.

I believe I have received 2 warnings so far due to some "heated discussions" and I actually am glad about the warnings because I indeed acted toxic to some teammates (admitedly they were terrible players who refused to listen to reason). However when I see someone getting away with stuff like that https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=27141738, I have my issues with the moderation process.

@krinid just DM me or set up a game to know why i did it. i dont think it should we written in this forum as the topic of discussion is about addy

We got multiple complaints about the language in this topic.
It is Warzone's policy to not comment on the moderation process.

Do allow me to rectify some things.

• Please do not use offensive language here and everywhere else. Criticism is fine, but don't cross the line.
  
• Reports may take some time to get processed. Action may be taken immediately or take more than a week depending on the urgency and availability of moderators. We also have lives outside Warzone.
  
• Warnings are not visible on a player's profile. Someone may have been repeatedly warned without this being visible to you.
  Only the person affected themselves and active moderators can see this.
  
• Suspension are only visible while a player is suspended and not anymore afterwards.
  Only the person affected themselves, me and Fizzer know when and for how long a person was suspended.
  
• Nobody is receiving favorable or unfavorably treatment if we can help it. We try to be as consistent as possible.
  Do understand that a player can only be warned or suspended when they are reported within a reasonable timeframe by a person who was affected.
  Do understand that there are multiple moderators who are not exactly as strict as one another. This may affect some edge cases.
  Most complaints about consistency are cases where the player was never reported.
  
• Some former moderators have lost their powers in the past for abusing them. Fizzer implemented some features that made it easier to check this. It happens, but it's rare.
  
• Most moderators do a great job and we are very thankful for all the work they put in.
  It will never be perfect, but we try our best to make Warzone a friendly and accepting place for everyone.

hey anon mod, I can't stress it enough how eternally grateful I am that you are using your precious time to voluntarily moderate an online free multiplayer risk like games community. you are making a huge difference in the world and we need more people like you. cheers

Come on guys, why the record is still 13 turns?

It reminds me when I called a single level "record 31 turns" and won that in 30. Noone has ever tried to do it in less than 31 turns lol.

Hey "anonymous moderator." Great news! If valid criticism is fine, then you have no problem here.

So why don't you go scurry along? I would like to at least pretend that the moderation on this site is fair and unbiased. It's really hard to do that when you so publicly display where your loyalties actually are. Can you just go back to quietly lurking and banning people for nonsense?

Was it the part where we insulted the "master" clan that got you all riled up? Or was it the part where I referred to them as "toxic pricks"? Would you have preferred I referred to them as "toxic people who can be mean mean members of the community =(" ?

Do allow me to rectify a few things

• You are biased
  
• You are bad
  
• And so are the "masters"

can you crybaby somewhere else?

Sincerely
MASTER Clan

can i cry about not having marcus in clan wars anymore here?

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

        (Matthew 7:15-20)

Now even Norman has seen the corrupt fruit and yet you all seem to miss the tree. Why not strike at the root, at the head of the snake?

A single man holds back this community, stands between this game and the glory it deserves. He's even at his weakest point, dependent on you now to fund his get-rich-quick trademark troll shake-down play against the largest gaming company in the Western world. He's foolishly put himself into the hilarious position where this play could backfire and force him to sell his livelihood to someone who will push it toward its true potential. Math Wolf/Anonymous Moderator doesn't pull his shenanigans against his will but as part of it, with his full endorsement, complicity, and cover-ups. The system is not broken: it's the one he designed.

You can keep swiping at the fruit, or you can help Mitchell Silberberg and Knupp cut down the tree.

^ Case in point. I would've been permabanned if I made a comment like that, because per the Fuhrer's own words insults are never acceptable on this site. Of course, when he said it, it was merely a rationalization of a retaliatory ban- he later admitted he's just got an axe to grind with me because I "doxxed" Mercer by Googling the name of Fizzer's company, clicking through to the first result, and sharing information he'd already made public. So, even though his home address is on every document in the Activision suit because for some reason he's never heard of an anonymous LLC or even a PO box, I am held to a "higher standard" than celebrated toxic people like Addy the Dog, celebrated cheaters like Deadman and Farah, and celebrated cheating-enablers like Beren. Nope, it's just guys like me and sanmu- who speak up at the wrong time and don't know how to keep our heads down in the face of comical corruption- who get pegged as the worst community members.

Norman, I don't know what rock you've been living under, but this is not some place held together by transparency, competence, and the rule of law. It's the petty fiefdom of a man who loves to cite the criminal justice system to cover his abuse but whose understanding of how an actual justice system works is so poor that he's about to lose his whole livelihood in a court case he could've trivially avoided.

Just laugh and move on.

That goes for you too, sanmu. They can ban you or blackball you if you keep up stuff like this, and you're not going to change a thing. There's no upside.

But the converse of that is that you don't have to do anything, because these people- Beren, Fizzer, Math Wolf- know exactly who they are. They have to consciously lie, and if you just point and laugh maybe they will retaliate but they can't change a thing about themselves either. Fizzer can ban me again, but it won't make him any less of a balding, middle-aged, relationship-challenged schmuck who wasted his prime years on a joke job while his peers (can we even call them that when they're so far ahead of him now?) got rich off of tech stonks and now get to rest and vest and enjoy financial security without having to scam the legally illiterate into funding their doomed get-rich-quick scheme against a $72 billion company. Beren can equivocate and rationalize all he wants but it won't change the fact that he's enabled and defended cheating, has to shamelessly lie about things we all have the receipts to prove the opposite of, and that he's even gotten so sad these days you'll spot him cheating on Harmonbot Jeopardy from time to time if you pay attention.

Do you think you can do anything to these people? Nothing from any of us can crush them any harder than the weight of their own lives. Being them is punishment enough.

I have no sympathy for those of you who complain about Addy, when you've built the community you deserve. You celebrate those who harm it, because they are good or because they are at the center of community events or because they happen to be the guy who built and owns the game. And you blackball those who even bother to speak about it, labeling us as threats to the community or prima donnas. You built this, and you've earned every bit of it. I hope you enjoy the fruit of your own corruption, the toxicity you cultivated among your friends and admired ones while using the concept as a bludgeon to shut out players you have personal beef with.

(see you all if/once my ban expires)

oh Beren :(

I can forgive you for everything else, but this ... this unholy sin shakes me to my very core. Maybe you really are a Spawn of Satan, as some say. I don't know if there's any hope left for you, but I beg you Beren - please accept our Lord, Our Saviour, Jesus Christ into your heart. It's your only way to rescue yourself.

My arms are always open, as is our Good Lord's
