Code of Conduct

I would like to propose that we introduce a Code of Conduct for IPX. I have found myself apologising on behalf of IPX for the behaviour of some individuals within the team on a few occasions and find having to do so, disappointing. I am not proposing that we curb enthusiasm or restrict the enjoyment people take from a bit of banter however I think it would be worth putting some guidelines down to what we all consider acceptable behaviour. In IRC or on the website amongst ourselves – I couldn’t care less what is said, however when we are on a Pub, in a Scrim or on the GA Forum (etc.) we are out representing our colours and I would prefer our colours to be clean and/or only tainted by the kills we have fairly earned, not the blood from cheap shots.

Agree with the idea, but I

Agree with the idea, but I believe we already have this (or close enough to it):
IPX Rule Book

Contains jokey rules as well as serious ones but I’d be very surprised if it didn’t cover every time someones tainted the IPX name in public. In fact I think we even kicked someone for breaking the rules (Firefox?).

Maybe the problem is enforcing them more strictly.

Perhaps

I Understand what your saying and I have read it, however I think some of these Jokey ones are probably subverting what I’m talking about i.e. Rule 15 “Rule 15: Don’t Cheat… if your getting nailed… Abuse them, Play Dirty or even bang their mother. Just dont cheat!” The premise is fine, the explanation of what to do when being beaten doesn’t seem as accomplished.

Perhaps we just need to define this one a bit more “Rule 28: There shall be no bringing IPX or the Team IPX website into disrepute by actions or inactions” because it’s the one which I think seems to be consistently forgotten.

Agree on that too :)

A team wh0 sh0w respect…..

Whatever it is, I didn’t

Whatever it is, I didn’t do it.

If your gonna listen to somebodies bs they have to say about me, without comming to me to get a real honest opinion.. then go fuck yourself with a rusty pole up your arse.

Ive been barred from family parties for the same reason.. How about, you go drink all my Scotch, then blame me for bringing a popular drink..
WTF

Yes I agree, Code of Conduct.

The only thing I hear about you

Relates to the in-game voice commands and it’s always how the fuck does he do that – lucky they don’t have a quick key for “go fuck yourself with a rusty pole up your arse.” ;-)

Thx Panda. Hearing that from

Thx Panda. Hearing that from you makes me feel better dude =)

Im “trying” to put a noose on the out of control binds.. But its just when the knobs in game complain about it.. Some sadistic part of my psyche needs to egg them on ;p

Lets please try and keep the peace between IPX and everything else Non-Norwegian =)

Penguin generals.. HAHAHHAHAH

got a problem with me Panda?

If you have a problem with ME panda, suggest you come see me personally about it.
but i guess you kinda miss the point of rule 28 with a “read between the lines” semi public post.

good work

Had a bit more of a think

Had a bit more of a think about it and think both clarification of some of the existing rules (like rule 15 and 28) as well as some specific new rules something like (specific details of each can be discussed and decided):

  • Only the captain may speak via global text or voice chat in any ladder match. Breach of this rule results in X match suspension / demotion etc
  • Any global abuse of the opposing team in ladder matches or organised scrims results in automatic X match suspension and / or demotion etc
  • No player shall ever accuse an opposition player of cheating in game. The proper channel for cheating accusations is to take a demo, submit to founders who will decide whether to submit a formal cheating accusation to relevent authority (GA / Node etc

We have definitely had problems in this area, right back to the disgraceful showing against Nes, as well as accusations of cheating against several teams we played early in the GA ladder. For the most part this is much better these days (still not 100%) but formalising things like this as rules, with clear consequences is a good thing IMO.

We have a rule book.

If you feel a rule needs to be created or one needs amending.
Email teamipx@gmail.com

Fuzz, you have the ability to make rules, you know the process…

Fuzz's picture

Yep I know I can make rules,

Yep I know I can make rules, nothing says we can’t discuss them openly on the site though. Happy to stimulate the discussion before rules are formalised.

Rule book

Yes i agree there should be a formal IPX rule book.

Sha8doW's picture

we do...

We have one already.

you all signed up against it….

not having read any replies

not having read any replies after the crap i posted before.. ;

Excuse me for that.. Dont have to forgive me, but I know I over-react sometimes.. When you feel like your 100,000 lightyears from everything you know, then you MIGHT understand.. ;p

Pretty much this team is my life at the moment.. Might not seem like it, but its the only place I feel welcome. If I do anything to undermine that, and this team, then yes, bash me over the head with an alloy pipe..

No need

No need Hashy.

and to clear it up for everyone else
The Issue is clearly with ME.
Specificly: – My treatment of Luckless in a response to his treatment of IPX; – My treatment of Tsyuoi in a response to his poaching of IPX ET:QW players; and – My non condolence of Negs racism and refusal to play or be associated with him or his team which in advertantly support him.

Like always, i have an OPEN DOOR and am more then willing to hear your concerns and respect all of your opinions. you should all feel free to talk to me about any issue at any time.

I suggest if you do have an issue, address it in the correct manner is all can say at the moment… a thread such as this, probably isnt the best way to deal with it.

Abstain

Chose abstain as my vote as it was closest to – we already have a process for this – the rule book.
