Warning when joining trio/solo server

[worthy kernel]

These servers should have a warning screen before they join that teaming in these servers will result in getting banned. I don’t think people grasp the concept of it being a “trio” or “solo” server

[jolly ermine]

It’s true - you have to presume everyone is stupid. A lot of these kids think having a solo base means you’re solo even if you trade and ally with others 🤦🏻‍♂️

[wooden igloo]

I havent played in a bit but there used to be one, is there not anymore?

[worthy kernel]

Nah :/

[latent marlin]

I'm pretty sure these kids know what they're doing, half of the ones getting banned have also complained about people teaming in solos themselves so they can't claim ignorance

[dusty ingot]

Your allowed to trade you just cant ally

[jolly ermine]

You can have shops right, that would be a safe way to trade goods, well away from directly interacting with others

I mean if you’re caught chilling with someone and passing each other shit, that’s a no go, can’t be trading like that

[dusty ingot]

You can though…

As long as your not fighting raiding looting and such in a group more than the limit its okay

Asking a base if theyd like to give this for this etc is okay

[jolly ermine]

I’m not a moderator so I can’t argue it. But I would have thought they would tell you not to team, co-operate, alliance and be seen passing each other stuff 😌

[latent marlin]

I think if we allow trading like that it just opens up avenues for people to abuse it to share resources, have farmers, etc. Imagine one player that has two friends farming for them, but they're just 'trading' resources

[dusty ingot]

If its a long term thing i think its considered allying

[dusty ingot]

Im just saying a one time thing

[jolly ermine]

Personally I would just avoid any direct interactions with players on a solo server that doesn’t involve killing them and looting their shit

[latent marlin]

How do we regulate that as moderators? There's already a LOT of time that goes into that without having to watch people for 20-30 minutes to see their intentions

[dusty ingot]

Thats fair

Genghis what do you think of my idea i def didnt steal from you? https://discord.com/channels/992604384343105586/1495450471761055804

Shops and trading windows exist

[worthy kernel]

Why don’t mods have access to see like a red dot on the minimap of all the players. I feel like that would make it life so much easier. Seeing 2 red dots close together and not disappearing for a period of time should be an easy giveaway

[latent marlin]

We don't really have time to just sit and monitor maps or fly around in-game all day, this stuff all comes out of our free time around work, eating, sleeping, etc.

[worthy kernel]

Should give the ability to a mod or someone y’all trust. I’m sure there is someone who’d gladly do it for free. I know I would 🤣

[latent marlin]

We do, but there's not many people we could trust with the power to ban player accounts, spectate others, etc. I'm sure there's tons of people who would love to do that but there's a huge potential for abuse

[worthy kernel]

I’m aware, maybe just don’t give the ability to ban them? Just to gather video footage and submit it to the right people?

[latent marlin]

There's no way we could just casually give people we don't trust the ability to fly and spectate, it would 100% get abused

[worthy kernel]

Well someone y’all trust haha. Like a longtime mod or something

[latent marlin]

Like I said, we do that lol. Nobody wants to spend all their free time just flying around all day though so we have a report system that most players ignore

There will never be a situation where it's convenient for people to just actively monitor the servers all day

[worthy kernel]

True, but even at least a 30 min pop in once a day would be plant, not all day. Again, people you trust. A quick pop in and to see if any 2 spots are close together and not dying would be an easy and I would say, enjoyable job 🤷🏻‍♂️ like if that’s ALL they had to do, not work on other in game “dev” things, but rather a mod monitoring system ran on by trusted volunteers.
