Grant admins authority over unrated formats please!

Post #1 by parhelia_0000 » Wed May 20, 2020 3:57 pm

Earlier today on May 20th 2020, I did a Rush duel against Hitta Lover. I was at an advantage and was about to win the duel on my third turn, until this happened. https://www.duelingbook.com/replay?id=37528-18465890

It's not just custom format players that have to deal with those who abuse the Pause button. Even Rush duel, speed duel, traditional format and even in unrated Advanced formats, we're seeing players who are acting like sore losers by demanding wins that they do not deserve in the first place. This is creating an unhealthy environment that's virtually making almost every single unrated duels unplayable.

Remember what I said before in the previous thread that we need to restrict the Pause buttons to ranked duels only? I feel as though that won't be enough. We need to make sure admins have authority over unranked duels as well, so that any form of malicious abuse of Pause buttons are strictly dealt with.

Yes, some people will say that it's best to ragequit and start a fresh duel. However, who has the patience of ragequitting over 50+ duels JUST to find opponents who will actually respect the game? At this point, this is a necessary evil we must adopt in order to make DB's unranked sections healthy again.

I remember back in the Dueling Network days when admins there used to be able to enforce the rules in unranked sections as well. I would like to see such enforcement make its return to DB as well. Thank you.

if your opponent is going to use the pause button to screw it, you know they already lost, so just leave and play against someone else. You waste more time if you stay in games like that.

Duelists like that will use those duels as an excuse to rub their so-called "win" records against us. I can't allow that to happen any longer. At this point I don't care if admins become dictators at this point, I WANT TO SEE ORDER IN UNRATED DUELS!

I'm not judging custom games. that aside unrated is unrated for a reason. it is considered casual play where you dont need to worry about judges for a reason. if you are in an actual tournament we have judges that help with those. if ur just playing casually just leave thea game if the other person does not want to play.

and trust me we do have authority in unrated. we just dont join those games as we have calls to get to. if somebody breaks certain db rules like threatening you or such in an unrated game you can file an appeal with the game replay and we will look at it.

Some of us actually care about win/loss records from Duel Records, even if it doesn't count as part of the Ranked duels.

Casual play does not matter if virtually almost every single unrated games is unplayable thanks to some trolls who decide that demanding wins is far easier than playing fair and earning their wins fair and square. This is not fair towards those who want to have fun in a casual environment, and have spent so much time building (and/or creating their decks in the case of custom players like myself) only to see that effort go to waste thanks to those idiots who only exist to ruin their fun.

Honestly, if admins truly had authority in unranked duels, we'd be seeing toxic players like CrystalMusic, AromaGirl and even Hitta getting frozen and/or banned in an instant due to their unhealthy contribution to the unranked format. I want to see it happen. I want to see those changes being done. I want to see some punishment handed out to those who only play in unranked formats to ruin the fun for others.

being annoying isnt a crime. that being said yes there are lots of trolls. there are also vastly more people that are not trolls. you come across a troll block them and leave and move on. you arent forced to duel them. people who do break the site rules are penalized accordingly. just because you dont see something happen to somebody doesnt mean something wasnt done.

First, a couple things wrong here.

You claim "Casual play does not matter if virtually almost every single unrated games is unplayable"

Then proceed with "thanks to some trolls who decide that demanding wins is far easier than playing fair and earning their wins fair and square."

You imply that virtually almost any single unrated game is unplayable, then proceed to back it up with "some trolls". But that can't be true in the slightest IF there was only "some" trolls. Which shows you are doing nothing but exaggerating, which doesn't help your case.

"This is not fair towards those who want to have fun in a casual environment, and have spent so much time building (and/or creating their decks in the case of custom players like myself) only to see that effort go to waste thanks to those idiots who only exist to ruin their fun."

So this right here, trolls exist in every game, just leave and move to another game. Or start creating a list of users who troll when they lose and avoid them at all costs. Its literally a player solving problem.

"Honestly, if admins truly had authority in unranked duels, we'd be seeing toxic players like CrystalMusic, AromaGirl and even Hitta getting frozen and/or banned in an instant due to their unhealthy contribution to the unranked format."

I don't know anything about AromaGirl or Hitta as I never had a conversation with them or seen any of their conversations. The duels I did have with AromaGirl is just them quitting without saying a word, and I never heard of Hitta. So I can't really comment on those 2. CrystalMusic on the other hand, literally harasses other users on the forum when they make call out threads and even in duels where they call their opponent retards while acting superior despite them being wrong. That being said, something should be done about CrystalMusic.

However, if you're referring to how they play the game, the way I see it, they have fun playing their way, whether it is fair or not doesn't matter. If you don't like the way they play the game, then, don't play them. When people start wising up to their crap and they can't get duels, they'll most likely quit. But you shouldn't try and dictate how others should have fun. That isn't an answer.

" I want to see some punishment handed out to those who only play in unranked formats to ruin the fun for others."

If this was a rule, its really vague, I don't think its fun watching people play for 10+ minutes for their first turn while I'm sitting there waiting for them to end. So does that mean those players who do should be punished? I think not.

I don't think unrated duels need judge oversight. There's already a perceived lack of judges and overextending judges just makes for a poorer experience for all rooms.

Not really. Just report people like him if they break the rules and send a replay to the staff so they'll deal with it without having to send a judge to the duel, so that way the judge can focus on the more important calls in the rated duels.

Imagine needing judges in Unrated.
