ALSO GO @#$% YOURSELF IN THE ASS AKENTAS BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE YOU CAME FROM OUT OF UR MUM

@strat0spheric I think you don't understand how 0ad moderation works and your view is very very shortsighted. As I understand it you are for more moderation even in-game so people like Aslaug can't spout fascist @#$% and Tania wouldn't get harassed by him. The fact of the matter is there is no direct moderation of in-game chat and moderation is lobby-only for the most part. What you are proposing is what is already happening. There effectively 2 people both toxic, the only ones hosting games and taking down the standard of 0ad single-handedly. You are saying you want more moderation but at the same time you support a version of vigilantism based on activity. You are proposing to re-invent the wheel and your uninformed affirmations contribute nothing new. The only thing you are doing is providing people like Akentas and his dog eric with new material to foster a culture of OP players bullying people because they can. All you are doing is empty talk and virtue signaling so you can feel better about yourself. Essentially both of you just buckle around before the mods so everyone can see how you are the good bois when the time to man up has come nobody is to be seen.

hello, the player named Vetsikas left the game after losing his army due to his own attack. it was a rated game. there is also another issue i would like to bring to your attention. in this game, Vetsikas was rated 1357, and this was only 3 days ago (june 10, 2026). today (june 13, 2026), Vetsikas is rated 1711. it appears that Vetsikas is inflating his rating by playing 1v1 matches against fake accounts (possibly bots). as you can see here, even though the game start time is 19:14, the account "muricaa234" resigned twice at 19:14. that's two wins within a single minute. In some of the chat logs (I share), he even appears to acknowledge the situation himself, implying that these accounts are bots. He also makes comments such as, "I will show up on the leaderboard, and you will look at me"  in addition, he regularly hosts rated games with the 0 minute wonder victory condition enabled. he then invites people to play 1v1 matches. since many players do not carefully check the settings, Vetsikas quickly advances to phase 3, builds a wonder, and immediately "wins" the game. when people complain, he often responds by accusing them using various manipulative arguments. i do not know whether the administration will take any action against a player who reached 1711 rating within 3 days under these circumstances. however, at the very least, people have a right to know that he is a scammer and should be aware of his behavior. thank you for your time.

thank you @Akentas for refining and adding some thoughts. I also think these ingame moderators should follow a clear and published Code of Conduct. And if they abuse power, there privileges should be withdrawn of course. The sanctions should have a clear response to given escalation level.  first mute.... then timeout and so on ... bans  only for repeated misbehaviour.
