New F2P Channel Aerie Peak

Can't explain how good it feels logging in to this after a 14 hr day. Thank you guys.
 
I totally support this.

But it makes sense that players are the way they are on the main AP channel, with them getting banned every other day for being able to form their own opinion and then being harassed by these "mods". I'd be a little crabby too.

Everyone knows who these "mods" are, no one needs to be called out, sh*t doesn't need to be started, it's obvious from the time you log on to the time you log off and that's the sad part. I don't care how long they've been on AP, they're bad eggs. If we started by rooting them out, letting the channel simmer for a few days, and then removing the rest of the people causing trouble, we'd get the main channel back and wouldn't have to resort to something as passive aggressive as making a new channel.

If you're who I think you are (seeing as you've just made this profile today), then you know why you were banned. Don't spam chat with swearing then whisper the mods to put guns to their heads after they offer to unban you after a short period. The mods gave this individual several warnings and a 2nd chance, and that makes them bad eggs? oooook....

If you are not this person, I sincerely apologise for the above statement. For the sake of trolling I won't give a name.

I'm not banned from AP f2p chat, I have no idea what you're talking about. I see people banned all the time for no reason. Thanks for the baseless accusations though.

look at vashj, mg, and bwl. stating the rules and banning the offenders does in fact work, and it has worked for over a year in each case. sure, they're smaller communities than they once were, but that has little to do with enforcing their rules. banning offenders will of course shrink the community, but if it's a community worth having, it won't be wiped off the face of wow. as Kochist put it,

there is no need to keep someone as mod all night and day. why do you think vashj, mg, and bwl work? it's not because they're smaller communities; it's because their members understand the rules and are willing to enforce them. it's not only Licholas, Reflexz, and Snowjobs enforcing their community's rules; it's (most) everyone. it's a group effort, and because AP H is so much larger, it will take a larger group. but so what? you've got the numbers and you've got the influence - use them.

what is the difference between the banhammer and a channel split? one is a split between those who are willing to abide by the rules on which AP was founded and those who are not, while the other is a split between those who want a break or don't care and those who want to work on the community.

division by banning is not 'mean'. it is how you take what AP has become and return it to its former respectable state. a few users stated that you can't bring back the past - well, you can. you can bring back the basic tenets of AP and enforce the fuck out of them

instead of leaving the chat to all those who do not wish to abide by AP's rules, take it from them. they don't like it? they can reroll, or they can stay banned, or they can leave chat. it doesn't require constant banning. there's no need for a list of the banned. the ban lasts at most a week, and that's a fine system. if X banned person decides they want to remain a part of your community, they'll buck up and follow the rules or they'll be banned until the next server reset. someone unbans them? bfd! you've dealt with it before - you can reban them, or you can wait until they break a rule again and then reban them

directly quoting you and the white knight, AP is a community and those who joined it agreed in one way or another to follow its rules. personally, i think that's bullshit - if you're not explaining the rules, how are people agreeing to them? but that's irrelevant - if you start explaining the rules, members of the community have no excuse to break them. fix your community

tl;dr? not if you care about AP



EDIT: what would a player new to AP think when joining a chat filled mostly with the people you all DON'T want to be around?

iminibiv if you're out there somewhere it'd be cool to chat with you sometime.
 
This thread is impressive. I've only been involved in the f2p community for a couple months now. I have observed that it used to be something impressive with lots of veteran players. Now those players are scattered it seems. Rather than live in nostalgia, fix the foundation of the house you love. There are lots of new players including me who would love to gain the insight the more experienced folks have. I digress and agree there are a few players who annoy the shit out of me, but make your own judgement of when to /ignore.

Get your shit together. This isn't anything new. All games/activities with relative communities have their bouts when theres a wide range of people involved. Be an eclectic leader and give people the credentials to respect.

In other words, don't be a dick if you don't want to attract dicks.
 
So as a returning veteran, I spent a little time in the channel last night. I did observe some immature behavior and rude discussion. Nothing too bad though. How many old-schoolers are still around? Are there any efforts to organize premades, world events, or even silly screenshots? Used to be a very tight knit community, has everyone gone off the reservation? Am I wasting my time (well ofc I am, its WoW)...?

Definitely have a look at the We Can Do More thread. You may have come back at a very opportune time.
