Sheep Tag Community

what an extremely vague statement. without CsB sheeptag would not be active at the moment. also, for the most part the players we ban, we have good reason to ban. a simple analogy, people hate on cops, they trash talk them and call them idiots, but when they are no longer there, everything goes to chaos.

Exiling banning and kicking people from games and/or major channels(SoR/CsB/Behh/StH) is a serious offence. The only people who should have positions of power within these channels and/or games should be mature and cool headed. Not Some raged up 13 year old spoilt, **** of a girl having her first period all over her dads face.

Exiling people who are deliberately not adding any value and hindering the community I have no problem with, nor should anyone else. For example Jaspur: He should be exiled, he does not like Sheep Tag, he wont play it, he has no reason to be anywhere near the community now he's started warbotting. If you're friends with him fine, he's not allowed in our channels, nor our games. There will be no second chance for him. He'll be banned until he's 18 and can think in a mature fashion(Maybe 21).

Exiling people like Hawkeys and Tollison is not allowed and should be ceased immediately. I'm not saying what they have done in the past is inexcusable, however indefinitely banning them is out of the question.

To ban someone indefinitely for what some people would consider "Game ruining" without giving them a proper chance is taking one player away from a game that is currently populated with 50 active Sheep Taggers.
You are also banning upon personal grievances and to take that a step further you will simply kick a person for not being as good or not liking that person. Now this attitude is a disease in Sheep Tag, because what you are effectively doing is excluding people from games, which makes them want to leave. If they do leave then we have less than what we do now. Eventually there will be 12 sheep taggers actively playing because that's all that can fit into a game. Wouldn't it be better if we could have say 5 st parties going on at the same time?! I have another plan to fix this in another thread located here

The following is the plan for a controlled banning system
Game ruining can be as follows:
1. Deliberately tking your sheep member(This can be joking around, but if the person you are doing it to doesn't enjoy this joke, he can report you).
2. Going afk as Shepherd because you are bored. If it's for a legitimate reason, then ask for permission, it will be granted, otherwise if permission is not granted you can be reported.
3. Leaving before fair is done, If a few Sheep haven't had a turn in the game, and someone has to go, that person is allowed to leave, provided that he tells the rest of the people in the game and is genuin. That person will not be allowed in the remake though, because that person had to leave. Otherwise if it isn't a scenario like that one then you can be reported.
4. Deliberately letting Sheep pass you, if you are complaining the whole game and then let a sheep pass you and you have no lag etc.. You can be reported.
5. Pausing during Run ST(Run Tag) intervals in hopes to kill said Run ster(Run tagger).
6. Saving during Run St(Run Tag) intervals in hopes to kill said Run ster(Run tagger).
ALSO NOTE THIS LIST ISN'T COMPLETE THESE ARE THE ONLY SCENARIOS THAT I CAN THINK OF AT THE MOMENT, SHOULD ANYONE ELSE POSE ONE THAT SOUNDS LOGICAL, IT WILL BE ADDED TO THIS LIST.

Warning: If you request a ban on a player and the majority on the forums agree that it was insufficient to warrant a ban, the person who instigated this ban is now not allowed to report/bans for the rest of the night. So be careful before you deem it bannable. If there are repeat offences of this happening that person will not allowed to report bans for 48 hours, each time doubling until you are no longer capable of making any decisions in this area at all.

Short term, one game bans
From now on, no matter who you are, whether you are a leader in this community or Hawkeys, if you deliberately ruin a game and everyone agrees that you did, you're not allowed in the remake, A short 1 game ban.

In order for this ban to happen the replay and time location of the deliberate ruin must be posted on these forums as soon as possible. I'm sure I can get Sidey to put together a section for it. You may commence the one game ban immediately(before waiting for people on the forum to agree) that's only provided that the majority in the game agree(Take screen shot of the majority agreeing). You must upload the replay asap.

Midterm bans, Two days - One week bans
In order for this to happen you need to have repeat offences of game ruining and ruined the game more than once and are currently a casual game ruiner. Once again the replay must be submitted and the time of the offence posted, a short 1 game ban will commence immediately, the rest of the ban will commence after the replay has been checked by a few on this forum. Or 80% of people who were in that game. Screen shots of the people agreeing must be posted here. In order to get the one game ban.

Longterm bans Two weeks - One month
In order for this to happen you need to have repeat offences of game ruining, be a casual game ruiner and have had the midterm bans placed upon you already with no improvements. The same steps of reporting these bans are to be followed from the midterm ban steps. Once again these bans aren't immediately enforced, they are only enforced after the replay has been submitted, only a short one game ban will be enforced until then.

Additional information about the controlled system
ALL BANNED PLAYERS AREN'T EXILED FROM THE COMMUNITY, NOR WILL THEY EVER BE, They still may participate in games provided that
a: no one else is on to join the game and it's not full, if they are and they want to join, that spot that the banned player occupies is now that other players.
b: everyone in the game agrees(100% of people agree he can play, this player may need to do a lot of ass licking).

These players may also reside in channels, if they abuse their time in the channels then they may be kicked from said channel and/or banned. But they wont be booted from the channel based on something that happened in a game.

Ban appeals for mid - long term bans may be heard and it's up to the community to judge whether you've learned your lesson.

Anyone who kicks a person for another person should have bot access removed immediately.
Anyone caught banning people without any justification once again will have bot access removed immediately.
All replays/the time of the offence and the picture must be posted before any banning commences.

Edit: Added Rule Scenario 5 and 6.

We need more people like you, Alpha.  Nothing but reason comes out of you.

WHAT?
Letting sheep pass = being reported?
Like really?
We human beings, we are not flawless, everyone makes mistakes.

Deliberately letting Sheep pass you

Spoofy, note that I wholly agree that since you pay for your bot, you can do anything you really want with it, as this is essentially the same argument I made that since I was the map developer, I could do anything I wanted with the map.

However, realize that your hostbot exists within a context. If you wish them to be viewed as "community" bots rather "personal" bots, then rules should apply to them. Realize that, in the past, bots had been monopolized many times over, and when they get too abusive, it is common to switch to new bots (Behh to WhiS, WhiS to free market, etc). You can lose more than just your monopoly.

Spoofy its not like u didnt flame me also, and u let many people stay banned. However you now let me play and i hope we can play st in peace together

What do we do with people who use namespoof and make a bad image of the person they are namespoofing?
e.g. Polar played as Tollison and ruined and teamkilled us during the game.
