[GMS] The Maple Mentor Program

If they let you be a Guide in your own server you could easily abuse the powers to help your friends or annoy people you don't like >_> They want you to be unbiased. It's not like they can say "no, he wasn't swearing in public". Everybody does things that are against the TOS making favoritism easy.

Yeah, but it can easily be bypassed, so either way the abuse/consequences for abuse would occur. I mean, if some persistent douche really felt like it, they could get a Cleric to Priest in one week in a server they're unfamiliar with, apply to become a Mentor, and wreak havoc in the server they've made enemies in.

FLAWED, NECKSON.

All you can do is a more sophisticated report, so I fail to see how abuse could happen. Esp considering you have to provide proof anyway.

Aww, I was looking forward to this until I read down to service area.

Well I'm out. I'm not 70, I'm not in LA, and I have characters in every server. ;;

Dont have to be in LA, just in the US or other non-IP banned locations.

Really, they have to have proof anyway (says so directly in the post), and, at the same time, it would be better to have them in their own server, because many people watch/stalk the known hackers/botters, giving them an easier job on themselves too. If it was your own server, it would be a win-win.

I am so going to apply though. <3

How sure are you MasPan.

I think it means LA TBH.

pineapple. I'm from Italy. IP Banned location much?

Sigh.. I could be a great Mentor. I'd try to do my best to help them, but that won't happen.. just because I'm in Europe..

Flying is good enough for me; I want in. Traveling could be easier, and I'd help occasionally lol.

Yea....I'm pretty sure it means anywhere that isn't IP Banned.

Edit: Almost 100% sure. Read some of the others too:

"The area in which we are licensed to provide our services"

Also, if you were a guide, having a lot of friends would really pay off. If anyone were ever to see a hacker, they could just tell you, you fly to the hacker, and BAM, flagged. If only it was the same server though....
I'm probably going to conspire on Bellocan, my arch nemesis-world (only because Mardia and Bellocan are so similar). Mardia > Bellocan anyday! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Brb, making an account on another server so I can screw with Veng on Scania.

Hopefully they'll do IP checks on all applicants to cut down on the amount of abuse when it comes to people trying to get around the rule of you aren't allowed to be a guide in your own server.

I think it's a good rule - cut back on people having grudges

Again - all you have at your disposal is a high-priority report that has to be backed up with evidence. There is no way it can be abused against other players. Limiting by server only limits the usefulness of these.

What is there to be gained by people being one in their own server though?

You fly around in invisible mode, you report hackers. More like...unproductive GM.

Well, the real GMs are unproductive too, ha ha...

Just joking .

People are more familiar with previous hackers in their own servers, and have more incentive to root out hackers if it cleans the server they play in. I for one have a small list of names that I would immediately check out (major hackers that have been open and obvious for months and are still on-ranks).

i wonder what the compensation will be for doing this. They cant really expect people to go around flagging hackers and such for nothing in return right? Tho i do suppose some people would be willing to do it for free.

If they made it in one's own server, they could expect a lot more active participation...

Damn about the not in same server thing.

Oh well, I still hope I'm able to participate in this. Go clean up Bera and crap.

And let's hope at the same time that there isn't some Excellent lunatic doing the same. pook:

And how does this "Not on same server" work with players with immigrant characters?
