I think there is a command -disablehelp to stop your teammate from using force staff on you. Dont know about toss and about enemy force staff.

Regarding question 1:

Quon is working on the new set of rules. Coming soon!


Regarding question 2:
-disablehelp should work for both, if not it's something for Icefrog :P. Can't disable it on enemies.

Quon is working
Quon

Wait, so the mod whose standard response to any feedback is to say "Rules are fine, locked!" is in charge of improving the rules? OHSHI-

but disablehelp also actually stops them from helping me, eg. omni healing me!
-disablehelp only disables specific spells that can be used for ally-griefing (nightmare, recall, etc.).  Spells that cannot be used to hurt allies (omni heal F.E.) aren't disabled by the command.

It is not only quon, it's a team that works on the rules. Everyone has a point of view and that is yours. As a team they share their points of view and their ideas and as a result you will see the new rules when they've finished.

Lal...

All playdota.eu team is working on new rules. We r w8ting new rating system to be finished, then we will post THE "new rules".

@ AliRadicali

This system IS working fine else here wouldnt play 90% population on bnet. Just as I sad before, I will say it again:

If u have productive idea, plz share it with us at our feedback section else dont post crap like playdota.eu is shit and finish your story there. If u dont like here, plz be free to play at other realms.

Oh.. and yes, our system works fine

@ opa_bato[o.0]

1. Using !rmk, !votekick and -switch isnt obligation
2. Just report them. They will be banned for bad behavior

I do have productive ideas, they just get locked because you ignore them. Just like you ignore my several complaints. Part of your JOB is to listen to customers' (AKA players) complaints and to improve the services you provide. But instead of listening to complaints and seriously trying to adress the issues brought up, you respond with one-liners like "rules are fine", "if you can't understand the rules don't host" and best of all "If you don't like it go play on another server". LOL!

Let's draw an analogy here:
I'm a customer in a restaurant. I think my food tastes a bit plain, so I ask the waiter for some salt. Should the waiter:
a) Tell the customer to go eat somewhere else if he doesn't like it.
b) Give the customer some salt.
Well?

I have made a complaint about the aforementioned "40% rule" in another thread, and it got pointedly ignored. I'll make my suggestion again:
Add an exception to the rule: "Hero picks do not count as an "unplayable condition."
Why? Because "our team has a (insert hero here), REMAKE!" should obviously not be considered a proper reason to remake a game.

Now are you going to tell me to go find another restaurant, or are you going to give me my damn salt (or at least explain why you can't give me any)?

Oh.. and yes, our system works fine
a) I disagree with you. The rules are too vague and open to multiple interpretations, and several of the most common scenarios aren't covered by the rules. The fact that disconnecting is not mentioned in the rules at all proves this point perfectly IMO.
b) Even if that were true, that doesn't mean things cannot be improved. The T-ford was an amazing vehicle when it was introduced, but that didn't mean that people went around saying "OMG this car is fine, no need to change it! LOCKED!"
Would you rather drive this:

The t ford got me giggling. Well why we can't get you the salt is because we do not have any.We are waiting on the completion of the new system, to fix all the issues that he know and that people have brought to our attention. The new system is in test mode atm, and we are very close to the arrival of it. The new system will cause many issues to be resolved which is why we are waiting for it. For now try to deal with the frustration of the loop holes in the system, and if you do have a problem and get denied do not be scared to pm and head mod to get there opinion on the situation.

I have red your posts. All of them. U only whine how everything sucks... and how our ban system has loops and nowhere u have written solution or proposal. Srsly idk why u play here if all rules r lame. I explained it all why is it that way and then I locked topic, cause its not debatable.

I have tried to play DotA at almost all platforms. PD has best system I have seen.

If u think that u r "master pro" and u want decent pro game, u r at wrong place as I already said. This is public bot. Every1 can pick techies and every1 can have boots + tangos as starting items if they will own in pro game. Score is only measure for pros and noobs.

We made rules as simple as we could to make it work. I persanoly play usually with friends cause I hate "pro" pubbers who go mid with eg Lich with boots + tango and refuse to go side.

Write concrete solution instead of only complains.

p.s. Customer pays that salt...

Post by: NEGERTIVS on October 17, 2010, 18:05
I agree that PD.eu's concept of having a system of pub rules and enforcement is a great one. But the problem (at least, in my view) is that if you choose to build on a system like this, you ought to be consistent. Right now the rules are just vague as hell and too open to interpretation, leading to numerous disagreements and a lot of people feeling wronged by some of the decisions that are made. I have been told that a new set of rules is being worked on. I think it'd be a good idea to give the community a small spoiler of some of these new rules, it might put a lot of concerns to rest. And maybe you'll get some constructive feedback to further improve them.

Oh and Ali did give you his view on how the rules should be changed, I call that presenting a concrete solution. It might not be in this thread (where, by the way, he pointed out the -disablehelp thing), but yes, he has posted a lot of useful ideas, I can understand why he might be annoyed when you keep locking his threads! This is a forum for discussion of the rules after all.

This is very wrong, when you're in a restaurant you are paying for the service. Take your analogy and replace restaurant with homeless shelter and waiter with a volunteer. Ask for salt then? He will tell you that you're lucky to have your free soup and go on.

But anyway, i agree with you the rules are not fine, it will be updated in a major update as i said here http://playdota.eu/forum/index.php/topic,23857.msg74474.html#msg74474 (http://playdota.eu/forum/index.php/topic,23857.msg74474.html#msg74474)
You'll just have to wait a bit and see, like polska said.
Title: Re: 2 questions
Post by: NEGERTIVS on October 17, 2010, 18:33
I agree that PD.eu is a free service, but for all intents and purposes it is competing against several other places where one could play dota. A homeless shelter does not compete, it simply takes in the bottom of the barrel who have no other place to go. Or wait, is that what you wanted to state about PD.eu?  ???

You should realize in by setting the quality of "service" on this bot (the quality of the rules, the enforcement of the rules, the overall image of PD, etc) you are having a great influence on the influx of players. Do you want to attract pubtards, or semi-decent players?

Negertivs, I like your idea, I wanted to ask quon to put new rules visible before we post them for real!

Ok, I will speak with rest of stuff about this, and we will post them for you guys, so like that you will be able to propose changes, and we will decide are we going to accept them or not!

What i wanted to point out with homeless shelter is that we are free in response to what aliradicali posted. There are no customers here, there are no paid jobs here, there is no quality of service that you can demand here.

But we are trying to compete with other DotA communities by making a better rules and better bots. As i said above, we will update the rules and the bots extensively sometime this month.

What exactly is pd.eu's objective, if not to provide casual DotA players with a place to play DotA?
Assuming that that IS your objective, why would you want to ignore feedback from said casual DotA players? No-one's demanding anything here, I'm merely curious why I get labeled "spammer" for disagreeing with certain rules. As far as I can tell, my suggestions would have a positive influence on the overall enjoyment of pd.eu DotA games, and implementing them is a matter of copypizza, so the real question would be why NOT implement them.

1.
In this topic http://playdota.eu/forum/index.php/topic,24342.0.html (http://playdota.eu/forum/index.php/topic,24342.0.html) quon said that
Quote
# If 40% of users in game complain about unplayable conditions (with !rmk) in the first 10 minutes of the game, all players have to leave (and game owner can rehost the game).
does not apply anymore???

2.
Is it possible to make a rule to stop intentional ally sabotage, eg. tiny tossing you to the enemy, someone force staffing you itd,....

u can type -helpdisable    or -disablehelp  (I do not remember which is the command of these two,but 1 is for sure),-and nobody will be able to push u whit force staff or tossing,or healing :)

Trust us, we do not ignore your feedback, or suggestions. But when you have heard the same thing over and over and over again, all you want to say is I GET IT, and we are working on it, but that is just plain rude

On Topic, the rules are vague because in pub games every situation is different. If you put to specific rules then you have arguments among the players and staff. If you make rules too vague you get people reading between to lines and cutting corners, and abusing loop holes.  As a public bot, putting rules isn't the easiest thing to do. It took America very long to have our present day constitutional laws, and which they are still changing as years go on.  In my opinion I do not really care for rules. Banlist was made so that people wouldn't play with laggers and game ruiners.  There was no sd back then and people actually enjoyed playing the game. There were few leavers when I played on random hosted games then there are on pd. A issue of this is because all people care about is there stats. If you did not care about your stats, you would not care if you have a leaver on your team, nor someone farming the whole game. Things that are wrong is controlling your character selling your items, purposely feeding. Which I understand ban, but because there is a noob in pro game. I am rambling on more then making my point, but the problem lies in the !sd command. And with then new relative score system many of these issues will dissolve away on there own.

So can we realize that there is no point in arguing, and accept that we need to wait longer for perfection. Patience is virtue, or as my father would say "Patience my boy Patience"

Lets pay to play on PD!
Only then, it can grow up from a homeless shelter to a nice restaurant.

Title: Re: 2 questions
Post by: NEGERTIVS on October 23, 2010, 13:54
I agree with polska. The biggest of PD's problems seems to be the attitude of most of the players, which seems to be caused at least partly by the !sd system. Instead of players pooling their talents in pursuit of bringing down that throne/tree, we have an endless stream of stat-related whining, defeatism when their team is down just a couple of kills, self-votekicking, and most importantly, the wrong idea of how dota is supposed to work.

People tend to pick "imba" killsteal heroes such as Gondar, Balanar, riki, etc etc instead of good team picks. And then they end up feeding, because they will lane 2 melee carries. Then the whining starts. Not that this is not a problem in other pubs, but it always strikes me as weird how the level of play on PD.eu is relatively high compared to the rest of eurobattle.net, but people still play with the "apemso" idea of dota.

I think the !sd system also puts a lot of pressure on the host. For every game I host, I have to statwhore for ~15 minutes. I dont require players to have godlike stats to join a "pro" game. A couple of denies and a non-feeding score is enough for a pub game imfo. I myself dont often make it past 30 creepkills because I always roam and/or support, and I get kicked from almost every PD lobby I join because apparently you must farm 3 buriza's to be a "pro" player. People in pubs will always find reasons to flame the host or their team, but I think the !sd system just gives them too good an excuse!

so on to the TL;DR ; could you tell me how this new system will work? I read somewhere on this forum that it might be based on some sort of ELO formula. But will it be focusing on wins/losses? kill/death ratio? Will assists play a role? Will creepstats play a role? Thanks in advance!
Title: Re: 2 questions
Post by: Quon on October 27, 2010, 12:13
This system and ELO system are based on fact that WIN brings major part of won points. Kills will be almost irrelevant

for some guys whos not happy with these rules { man, who talked about restaurant and some salt....} as them guys said, u dont have to play here.... In restaurant u dont get any meal unless u not gonna pay.
These guys are doing it for free, actually even some1 has to pay server rent, etc... did u ever sponsor pd.eu? Not? why u are crying here? u should be happy thats u can play for free...

If u not happy, my advice is: dota.fr  there is really good system, but... if u want to play more than 1 game, u need to pay for it...

Is it problem? ....no? nobody catch u.
