Rule Violation Reports (New forum)

Reporting @Kinggg121132 for making repeated stomps. He made like 3 within the past few hours which were all closed and listed in APR Thread. 2 staff already supported a thread ban for him in APR thread. What are we thinking, mods?

I think the man is simply confused. He made Blaizaken vs Deku, it got refuted as a stomp. I told him to try and make matches between characters of the same tier. He did so, even though they were stomps. Let's not be harsh to a guy whose a newbie here.

Ah, my bad for that. My brain auto registered only the "Did you ask the staff?" part.

Nah. I was referring to @PHANtomFELdway ’s comment, despite sounding like I was referring to @TheHyperGuy. I saw the conversation about making a Staff Thread in the previous thread but that is also probably my fault for making it sound weird and for not replying to @PHANtomFELdway ‘s comment.

And I thought they did a great job of doing so.

Whether or not procedure was followed, I don't think any harm was done exactly.

So I definitely don't think any action here is needed other than to remind people they need permission.

I also think it's probably fine to assume implied permission if a staff member directly asks you a question.

I suppose that we can overlook it this time then. 🙏
 
I guess not. He's been on since the ping went out.

The edits are largely petty, things we wouldn't require a CRT to undo, but if they are done as targeted harassment, which may be the case, then I think action can be had. ARCH listed this as a justification in one of them:

You have no thread, you can't make changes, and you say that I'm the one who breaks the rules.

...which reads to me as both him not knowing the rules he's trying to uphold, and this being a way of getting petty revenge. It does come off as spiteful. I would currently abide by a warning to not do that, as well as offering the knowledge that these small changes don't need a CRT, as they are not substantive- they change nothing about the page that we would require a CRT for.
 
Thank you for helping out. 🙏❤️
 
Yeah, it's not the edit removals themselves that violate rules but the instigated edit wars factor that would result in that being the case.
 
This is not a request at a warning but for any free staff member to talk to @OnlyonethatEXIST in this thread. Member at first seemed confused about the speed equal rules, but after multiple users tried to explain them to him, he got combative (Understandably so, considering how rough the tone of the thread is) and is now stonewalling the topic and uncommunicative. He seems to at least listen to staff member going by his post history so pretty please, before this escalates into something warningworthy.

Do we need CRTs to fix the wording of a specific weakness? Because last year I published a profile but the wording of its weakness seems badly written

Those type of edits are self-evident so grammar corrections are fine without a CRT. If a staff VSBW Message Walls you about it, you can happily sort it out and I'm pretty sure they won't have a problem with it.

So long as it doesn't change any of the actual substance then no.

So like:
"Get extra hurt by cold magic." -> "Takes additional damage from cold magic." 🆗
But if it changes what's being claimed, it probably needs a CRT, like:
"Get extra hurt by cold magic." -> "Takes additional damage from cold magic and fire magic." 🆖

Such a minor CRT would only need a single staff approval, but should probably still be made.

hmm, some minutes ago i changed

"The Maw is a place where people are safe from him but the reason is unknown; it may be because he's scared of The Lady or there's another unknown reason."

to

"The Maw is a place where people are safe from him but it's unknown if his powers are ineffective in the Maw or he's just scared of The Lady, the proprietress of the Maw."

was this fine?

I'd like to report @ARCH0207 for his constant spamming of bumps on threads and being unnecessarily hostile towards anyone who disagrees with him, even seeming to chase down some of them in other threads like @DaReaperMan . It's really concerning actually.
Click to expand...
Regarding the threads, it seems exaggerated to me that you are reporting me, since it doesn't hurt anyone, and besides, if they responded, there wouldn't be so much spam.
As for the joke about "Welcome to a battle board, if you can't deal with the heat of people cussing, get out of the forge!" It was DaReaperMan who said it to me first
I had asked him before to stop joking with me but he didn't want to so I decided to play his game but now he doesn't like it anymore, I mean he likes being rude to others but he doesn't like others being rude to him, also, for your information I didn't look for him, he looked for me, he also told me that I already said nothing to him about the issue of the size of Death but now he's getting into it again, and he still has the nerve to call me a hypocrite when the hypocrite is him, because it is related to the subject that he strictly asked not to be related to? It's ridiculous
That's all I have to say in my defense

It seems like I warned them before for this kind of thing.

In general I've noticed they've a tendency to crash out when someone disagrees with them, or otherwise take it very hard and personally.

That said, it seems like them and DaReaperMan already made up in the thread.
 
ARCH0207 said:
It's okay bro
Click to expand...
Well, it's not okay if you regularly bother people and/or turn otherwise civil discussions into hostile arguments.

Also, while I'm here, and since you seem to invoke my name a lot: DaReaperMan is correct in that I do not have the right to approve or reject calculations, only how the final value is applied to profiles.
Calc Group Membership is a separate position that's not inherent to other evaluating staff positions, and I am not a part of it.
Anything I say about the specifics of a calculation should be perceived as a mere opinion without authority like any other normal user.

Ok bro
 
What rule-violations have they done more specifically? 🙏

I have unblocked Astral_Trinity439 now.

Sorry to mention this after twenty days but there is a problem here. What exactly is the reason for Astral's unban?

Is it "We don't think there's strong proofs that Astral engaged in translation manipulation" or is it "We think Astral engaged in translation manipulation, but we're still unban for once this time" ?

If you think Astral doesn't engaged in translation manipulation, we'll have to rewrite the reason this discussion rule exists.

Discussion Rule for Tensura

So, given the discussion that took place regarding Tensura translation issues in the RVR, and the general consensus on establishing strict rules against human-edited MTLs for the verse due to recurring issues with misleading and dishonest translations as described in following post. I propose...
vsbattles.com vsbattles.com
Due to the recurring issue of misleading or dishonest machine-translated (edited-MTL) content within this verse (both WN and LN), particularly when used to support major arguments or upgrades, the use of human-edited MTLs is strictly prohibited unless they are verified by one of the official Translation Helpers (TLs) or a user with proven fluency in Japanese. However, exceptions may be made for human-edited MTLs originating from well-regarded and trusted sources that show no signs of intentional misrepresentation or manipulation, such as Slime Reader. This is to ensure accuracy, consistency, and prevent misinterpretation or manipulation of source material. Any future CRTs or profile changes that use unverified human-edited MTLs will be considered invalid and subject to reversal.
