Bonfire Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 8 minutes ago, purple person said: someone really should make a better backpack.tf While I like the idea of a fresh, new site, I think that the issues brought up in this thread can easily be solved with more time/money/effort being put into backpack.tf's moderation. That includes more moderators and more transparency when it comes to both rules and reports. You could make "new backpack.tf" after "new backpack.tf" and they would all have the same problem if the above items weren't addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikhas Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I think you could easily refresh site design by puting an existing or made from zero ipb design, that helps almoust always, dont need obvsly create a new site and or forum version. The refresh by new design forum, is easy and can help fix atleast visual things, but can agree if you want to fix things, start with staff and rulles.

🔥Master Throne Crimson🔥 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 It is unfortunate that becoming a member of backpack.tf staff is getting more and more a thing to be embarrassed about, it really is a shame, considering im an avid contributor to the site and get along well with most of the staff.

Probably not a coincidence either that OverduePixels handled all of those reports and has now come here to defend them once again "If they continue this behavior, they will receive a ban. Thank you for your report!" So much for that, hey OverduePixels? Expensive inventory doesn’t really matter here. In fact a lot of the top 1000 TF2 inventories are banned on the site lmfao. It’s just the lack of action being taken against consistent rule breakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaters killed TF2 with bots. Geel killed TF2 trading with bots. And top backpacks are just abusing the flawed system that we currently have to milk as much profit as they can on a withering game.

But we might need some more report mods to get some consitency and some speed with all the bigger issues My fav response: https://backpack.tf/issue/61775233f6d3c7528977396b "I will say though, the reported user is borderline on getting banned though. As a result, this report will be archived. Thank you for your report nonetheless!" Luckely people can be on the borderline forever and keep sharking. Hmm guns A bit hard to get more report mods when nobody qualified applies, sadly. Only applies in the last year were a user who had little-no activity, a troll app, and a user who had their app declined for inappropriate conduct towards other users (and is now banned from the discord).

I guess the amount of interested professionals decreases due to the game being in "inactive state" AKA dead And experienced people just don't want to do anything anymore, but I might be completely wrong anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0ckingbird Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Lol Where the hell did these “Blame Geel” shills come from? He literally has nothing to do with Team Fortress 2, trading, or any of the .TF sites anymore due to…….reasons that I think any sane individual would walk away from. He’s been gone for almost 2 years now, for sure at least 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how this is going, Connor fr should have been accepted. Altho he was maybe over the line with his comments don't really see a reason to decline the app. A discord mute/ban would have been better.

The number of applicants would likely increase if there was some sort of incentive, financial or otherwise. I know a part of our premium money goes to making the site run -- although there's been numerous experience breaking bugs for what seems like years now, maybe those are simply too hard/take too long to address, IDK. Nonetheless, some incentive to apply would be a plus. I know I'd personally apply to both a mod and dev position if that was the case... although I'd likely get rejected because most mods and admins in the TF2 community regard me as a piece of shit who is untrustworthy and scams others *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
