Hi, create a moderation-support ticket through the FAF discord, and we'll try and get you sorted out.

@OnceHandsome quick tip: if you don't want to download discord, you can use their website instead. The discord website will allow you to call and text with people and servers just like the discord software will, but without a need for downloading.

FAF as a platform does not endorse or promote any political ideologies, figures, or narratives, including those associated with any form of dictatorship or extremism. The username in question has been in use prior to the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine, and under our current rules, usernames that reference political figures are not automatically disallowed unless they explicitly violate community guidelines, such as promoting hate speech or inciting violence.

We do not agree with your phrasing suggesting that FAF "openly promotes dictatorial and Nazi attributes." Such accusations are inappropriate and do not reflect the nature of this community or its administration.

To clarify, the FAF Association has previously issued a statement regarding the war in Ukraine:

"The Board of the FAF Association expresses its grave concern about the military action started by Russia in Ukraine. Alongside the UN, we stand united against war and condemn any use of military means to resolve political conflicts."

We maintain this stance and have implemented measures to keep FAF a safe and inclusive space for all members, including restricting political discussions to designated channels and moderating content based on established guidelines.

This thread will now be closed, as the issue has been addressed. Thank you for your understanding.

@Yevpatiy From what I can see this account has been properly linked. Feel free to contact us in the FAF discord if you need further tech support.

@BlackYps I spoke with @Jip about this issue because it was also new to me and I had similarly assumed this to be the result of a recent change.

Jip told me this has been happening for years now, albeit fairly rarely and under specific circumstances.

@Nuggets said in Bug Report:SMD missing target:

It makes no sense for there to be an argument to keep this "feature" of smd's missing.

It's not a feature, it's a bug. Fixing it requires the balance team to make a change to the missile turn rate, as Jip explained.

Have a read to understand the current financial situation of the FaF association.

flaunt their financial dominance

There really is no good reason why stuff like this should be added to FAF, ever. FAF is not in financial need. Splitting the player base into groups of "those who pay" and "those who don't" just so that people with more money can flaunt it... what an incredibly unproductive idea.

I'd like to request that 'The Cold Place' is never again put in the 1v1 pool. The center reclaim makes it super volatile, the start is just very unpleasant, the map is really boring, it is very poorly designed and has no aesthetic value whatsoever, and god forbid you play as cybran/uef against an Aeon or seraphim.

Necroposting a diary entry, kewl.

Glad the trainer team is dragging some people out of the gap environment, however.

@BlackYps said in Open Review of FAF Moderation:

But I just want to say that this conversation illustrates really well that the "don't leave unless the game is lost"-rule is far to hard to gauge in practice and leads to bad experiences for everyone.

Agreed, though in this particular case the issue involved base Ctrl-K, rather than just leaving if I recall correctly.

A reminder (as explained previously in the discord discussion that spawned this thread):
While we welcome suggestions to the FAF rules or feedback on the moderation system in general, we will not allow the discussion of specific reports or moderation cases. If you would like to discuss a specific ban you have a received or report you have filed, you may contact the moderation team through the discord channel, or send an email to moderation*faforever .com. (Replace * with @)

If this thread will start to include such discussions, or if it becomes uncivil, we will lock it.

Please do! The available darkmodes are pretty bad.

@taxesaretheft You don't need to use distribute orders, you can just queue up normal attack orders.

@snoog Allow fatboy to print SACUs

Now that's necroposting.

The idea of having a customizable experimental is pretty funny though.

Expensive and inefficient way to use TML's, but then again it's Astro so not unexpected.

@stormlantern Certainly if a match was made once, the same match directly after would be 'valid' enough?

I can see problems when the same two teams play a long series of games against eachother, but realistically you'll get 2-3 matches before people have to leave or want to do something else. I can't imagine that would really cause any issues.

@boony said in Brick torpedo damage:

Sure, you can kill an enemy earlier. That is not the point! Why would you want other units to become obsolete once you arrive at T3, especially subs that have nothing to do with land units?

All units become obsolete compared to their higher tier counterpart if you only look at DPS and Health per cost. This is not unique to subs and bricks.

Which rating will count? Global?

Do you have a particular time in mind?
