I'm leaving, have yourselves a good one.

Post #1 by Amr Khalid » Sat Dec 12, 2020 3:43 pm

I registered my account back in 2017. I played around DB for a couple hours then left it. 3 years later I went back to duelingbook and got active with the community and made some friends.

I didn't really have any issue with the site until I had to interact with the very high ups in ranking (excluding klubba and player 1, they're good).

The way this site is handled is terrible. Every day and I can't even say almost because it is every day the site inevitably crashes and many people lose or win in rated because of it to the point where a good bunch of users are now afraid of playing rated so they don't crash and drop their rating. Even considering a daily monthly goal as a suggestion was ignored.

Then I have a problem, a couple of my friends got muted (including me which was resolved later) and they weren't told how they were muted.

The way xteven handles duelingbook is immature, you try to be like the other popular games where people who break rules get put with others who break the rules but if someone breaks a minor rule or you don't like them then they get muted without being notified.

Duelingbook players are treated like criminals, not even a tiny bit of warning or message to those who break the rules to make sure they don't do it again, not at all.

And if you ask xteven if he's an owner or an admin he'll respond with "no", a hierarchy that doesn't take its own system seriously.

Judges are of course told to shut up about it, if you ask any of the judges on why you were muted or for how long you'll get a response along the lines of "you wont be told" or "I'm not gonna tell you" until you ask a responsible moderator/admin.

I watched site raise and fall, and it only goes downhill from here, can't say I regret it but I can definitely say I was disappointed.

I’m sorry you feel that way as misguided as it may be. Wish you the best

I think he says he didnt get an explanation(?) on why and didnt bothered to look at the rules and investigating it himself.

I got muted by a racist judge who was trying to suppress Japanese Culture before. He makes sense/

Here is one of my greatest points to you:
I am not a troll, I am trying to save duelingbook from impending doom.
Take Amir Khalid for example, he has done nothing wrong.
Let’s say that most of you are right about it being boosting for the rest of this post;
the ethical thing to do would still be to remove Dark Cyborg, Orcustplaya, Amir Khalid and all the others.
BECAUSE ONE REPEATED THEME IS THAT THE PEOPLE BEING PUNISHED ARE NOT THE PEOPLE WHO DID WHAT EVER THEY ARE BEING PUNISHED FOR. If that doesn’t seen unethical to you, then I don’t know what to tell you.

OR, you're just taking this too personally, were you falsely punished on DB before?
