Virtue - Jedi Council  |
It seems that quite a few of you need to be reminded of how to conduct yourselves around this place.
I've seen and heard alot of things these past two weeks that have just dissapointed me. But not just me, most of the JAK+ aswell. First off, I'd like to remind you about dealing with troublemakers (or potential ones): - As Students, you do not enforce the rules. You can represent them and respectfully remind people of them or direct people to them, but you are not within your rights to bark orders at people and tell them what to do. - If someone is doing something that you find distasteful or is aggrovating to you (or any number of people), then ask them to stop. If they refuse, you take screenshots, a condump or record a demo of the actions and go get a JAK+. We don't think you are children who aren't capable of handling things - but it is not required of you and you have no authority to do so, our Staff are qualified for this sort of thing and actually have the abilities to do something about the problem. Combatting it yourself will just make the situation worse. Always go fetch a JAK+, at least one can usually be found on IRC or MSN at any time of the day. - If a JAK+ is dealing with a problem, go about your business. Your opinion and/or 2 cents on the matter are not required or welcome. If you have information on the matter at hand, make yourself known to the Staff member present (via PM) and he/she will get around to you in due time. Students, in situations like this simply get in the way and in most cases, make the situation worse - alot of Students will do it thinking that the Staff member present will think "Ohh, this person is intelligent and supports the JA rules, I'd better recommend him/her for Knighthood!" - Trust me, it doesn't work like that, it just annoys the Staff when you butt-in and makes the situation worse. 
(The above reason doesn't go for everyone of course, I am well aware that some of you don't care about becoming a JAK, that was just an example). - DO NOT lower yourselves to the standards of the people who are annoying you. That means that if you don't like someone, nothing gives you the right to pick on them, no matter how funny you think it is or how much you think it'd be funny to others. You do this and you make yourselves worse than the person who you may find an annoyance - and that means that we'll have to slap you around a bit, too. 
- A Staff member will always listen to you if you have a complaint or a problem. They will not look down upon you and they will keep it confidential, if you wish it to be. There's no shame in getting a Staff member to deal with a problem, as at the end of the day, it bodes best for everyone involved. If you want to reply to this thread with questions about the subject matter, then fire away, we'll do our best to answer whatever we can. But please, don't be a smartass, because all you'll get from us then is a loss of respect and you will probably just be ignored. We're trying to do our best by everyone here, don't make it hard for us, because you're "everyone", too.

Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??" |

For sure, I trust JAC, JAK+ and JAT capabilty to judge these things
and Unbehaving is very serious issue, but still wondering what is the serious level of this? I don't want exact numbers but How many people have example said that people are unbehaving on servers? How many cases of unbehaving? etc Because past days, Several inviduals of this JA community have like overact the feelings about jokes and way of playing. They have made an elephant thing from fly thing
I hope this wasn't a stupid question  _______________ Still here | My Lightsaber |
