Can Oats get three game ban? He basically played like a mafia who gave up and cost us a mislynch while he was town.
I don't think he is motivated to play mafia at all currently and if he really wnats to come back to play proplery then he'd need some proper motivation. Else it's probably not his type of game.
Hey, if you wanna start banning people for playing badly, then im fine,
However, at least one person does shit like this every game.
You gonna ban people till they play better?

I think it'd be easier if you gave us the list of who wouldn't be banned.

As for why Marvellosity was replaced, I got this PM from Geript: I'm going to be honest. I just fucked up. I don't think it affects things or will. I sent Marv a PM saying my read on him was magic. I didn't stop to realize that kinda tells him I was town. I don't think Marv would let it affect things personally. I sent him another PM telling him to disregard the last PM. I'm really, really sorry. I was just feeling better and wanted him to tell me how awesome my read on him is. Instead I just totally fucked up without thinking. I'm really really profusely sorry. Please don't take action against him for my fuck up. With Marv being compromised on Slam's identity, I had to replace him. I won't be pursuing a ban for it because it's an honest mistake. The nature of the mistake was dumb rather than malicious (forgetting he replaced out rather than got modkilled) and I don't feel like a ban would serve any purpose. Public humiliation is more likely to cause him not to do it again, so everyone please shout boo at him repeatedly. If you strongly disagree with this ruling, feel free to comment on it.

We don't ban people for performance. There were activity guidelines in the OP that said "1 post and 1 vote per cycle". I believe Oats met these except he forgot to vote in the voting thread on the last day (there is, as far as I can tell, a vote in the main thread).
So a warning or at most a 1 game ban would be my recommendation. I can't remember if Oats has a history of activity issues (I think he may?) in that case he maybe needs a 1 game ban. Normally I think this is just a warning though, as he did meet all the activity requirements in the game.

I think that setting a precedent of excluding people from games is fucking dumb and should only be done in dire circumstances. Newer players that fuck up once or twice should be given leniency and should be provided a mentor to help them past these issues. Otherwise, you effectively drive away a player base. You can say that "we don't want those people anyway," but that's a stupid way to live.
Mafia is a logical game that gets heated sometimes. Real life also gets in the way sometimes. There are many reasons for peoples' behavior and punishing them for it is a silly

I don't understand why people keep thinking their is a behavior problem in games.
Like very occasionally some people rage quit. Other than that, what? What is happening that makes people think there are behavior issues?
Granted I rarely read games that I am not in. But still.
Bigger issues is to try and make games more fun and strengthen the community through stuff like the community thread and playing other games together.
Like the ban list has been quiet recently, Why does this post exist all of a sudden?
Marv is right. Mafia is NOT the same as posting anywhere else in this forum and it shouldn't be treated as such. It is a game in which breaking people down using any means is a fundamental part of playing as both alignments.
I don't agree with what GMarsh is saying and I don't like the fact that this is brought up every few months when I don't believe a problem actually exists.

Also the more people go on about banning people and PREVENTING people from playing mafia the worse this forum will be for it.
The mafia forum is clearly already in a state of decline. Coming up with new methods and reasons to prevent people from playing mafia is just ludicrous.
And one more thing. Nothing against GMarsh personally or as a mod but I think this subforum needs a moderator who is more active and engaged/relevant to our community.
AFAIK Gmarsh is an intensely busy guy who rarely hosts games and plays even more rarely.
TL Mafia Deserves a mod that is a current, active, engaged part of the community.
Someone like Robik for example.

Redundant. You should know by now how BH and Kita work with the Student/Newbie games. We had a significant number of warnings in Student V, but we stressed that our warnings were not meant to punish but rather to learn going forward, and the person who was modkilled for an honest mistake, same thing.

If RL gets in the way, there is a remedy for that. It's called replacing out. And knowing when to do that is key so as not to compromise the game for others. As for behaviour, other players can find someone's behaviour problematic. If there's no moderation, that also hurts the player base.
Just saying.

Eh... idk.
TL mafia is what... 5 years old now? We've always erred on the side of caution when it comes to being politically correct and been fairly liberal with banning people.
It's not hard to not get banned. I've never been banned I think, and I'm in no way some kinda saint who doesn't lose his temper occasionally.
The bans are generally short, the forums are very active and most people seem to just sitout as they must and then rejoin the fun. We also have a strikes system in terms of ban length, and in most cases people who have no history of problems, activity or behavior, tend to get some leniency.

I agree with some of this, mafia does get heated.
But honestly, I just read through what you posted in that game and it was well beyond "heated". I've in the past argued against overly restrictive rules about language and emotional play, but bro...
There's mad.
And then there's robik mad.
The latter is some kinda next level mad that is way beyond normal mad. Try not going to 11 next time.
I think a standard behavior ban is applicable here. If you've not been banned before, that'd be 1 game according to the 2n-1 formula.

Pt 1) I know nothing about student/newbie games
Pt 2) Grow a pair (not you personally, but just people in general.
Like listen, I said that I'm going to go watch HF's mom have sex with a goat instead of the Superbowl. OBVIOUSLY, I'm not going to go do that. So like, me saying that should be taken as null at best and just a show of frustration. As for me calling out other people for not thinking, well, they weren't thinking. They weren't playing the game. They sat there and said "ezgameezrares" and then just lol'd and posted pictures and told me I should concede against insurmountable evidence of the fact that I was town. Two of those individuals even admitted such. And all 3 of them said that they don't want me banned.
BUT THIS IS A BIGGER ISSUE THAN JUST ME.
I'm just a pawn. This is about making this place an inclusive place and not an exclusive place. That's why people like Cavalinho and GlowingBear are still allowed to play. So why shouldn't I be? Because I'm more abrasive or because I speak my mind or because I'm not so subtle in the way that I attack people? That's bullshit. Everyone else should be embarrassed that insults are flying around in backhanded ways, but someone who has balls to actually say what they are thinking is reprimanded. What type of just society are we living in? What type of ideals are we REALLY trying to promote?

itt Robik tries to handwave his behaviour away by blaming others

I can honestly say that each and every time I've been banned, it's been my fault. Each and every time was wholly avoidable on my part. I get the general backlash there's been against banning. But 99% of the bans here are fully warranted and usually less than the person deserves.

This.
The effort Robik is putting in to be allowed to play in Horn of Africa is quite amusing. Don't act like a dick and you won't get banned - it is really not that hard. You acted like a dick and now you are getting banned for it.

Your mad level was as if you had someone pointing a gun to your head irl that would go off in 30 seconds and your only strategy was to yell loud enough so that your aggressor might have some kind of eardrum rupture thus rendering him unable to shoot you.
The reality is you had 72 hours to talk through an online forum game and you started yelling and insulting everyone and everything instead.

You posted salt pictures since the beginning of the game. Thank you for your input and your participation. I'm gonna go back to watching my alternative of the superbowl

Well i was mafia and it's my job to prey on easy emotions. I posted about 4 or 5 salt pictures and only 2 were to you. Which makes no difference because that's not against any rules.
I have nothing against you and I like playing with you but you stepped out of line.

[11:58] <robik> i get heated during games. i get heated a little in post games

I just don't get why you are fighting a one game ban so hard when the amount of rage and spam that happened really should get banned one game for. Besides that a history of this makes people be more against showing you leniency. If you didn't have such a historically bad response to things I think you might be able to get off on a warning.
I'm not sure why you would drag people like ows and gb through the mud like this when they don't shit up a game and react as badly sometimes obi does go inactive but generally they are ok to play with sometimes really fun. You chose not to play the game because you couldn't for x amount of hours obviously you fake claimed a blue so you could skirt by, just take the ban rob and calm down.

Like I enjoy playing with you rob, but you did cross a line but that said if gm decides not to ban you i'd be fine with that to

rob bro
I can not for the life of me understand why you dont just find another place to play mafia.
there is absolutely nothing exclusive to tlmafia that cant be found in the millions of other mafia sites on the internet.
