We all know your opinion of Jello Shooters. It's been noted, several times, but it's not getting changed in my post. |
With all due respect, you have no clue what my true opinion of JS is.
People were invited to send me a PM to find out exactly why that was, and you never asked. If you got your info from another player, you didn't hear it from the source. If you're basing it off my comments in these forums, then you have a partial understanding at best. Less than 5 people asked me directly.
One of the reasons I left it (the main one) is because I have underage children who use our accounts, and given the nature of some of the topics discussed (drug use, sexual acts described, etc.) there was no way I could, in good conscience, enable my kids to find their way to that.
I'll say it again, my interest in getting Protector Vigilance back up, with Arion Elan and Blazing Blue's help, was to provide another channel centered around server events, team ups, etc. since I had time to devote to it. A channel that was more "appropriate" in nature and respected the CoH Rules of Conduct.
Some, like me, will see it as an alternative to Jello Shooters. Others, unlike me, will say it is a competitive channel to JS - but mistakenly so. I have nothing but good things to say about the core players involved in Jello Shooters.
PV's growth and popularity proves there was interest in such a channel on Protector, one that could be more family-friendly.
Whatever rating you give JS doesn't bother me in the least, since it's not a channel I can frequent anymore. I was merely proposing a rating that reflected realistically some of the conversations I've personally seen. I suggest you ask Rasta what he'd like to do in that matter.
Now, since you've undertaken to maintain this list, I would ask that you remove the PG-13 rating from Protector Vigilance as well, since for all intents and purposes, it is implied (as per the game's Rules of Conduct), stated in the channels MOTD - like JS does, and no other moderated channels listed so far have a rating placed on them.
Thanks.
PS - I don't know why you would, but if you have a beef to settle with me, please take it to PMs. It will be my pleasure to discuss things further with you.

And... throwing another 2 cents in....
I think the label should remain on PV, since, yes, all channels SHOULD follow the CoD, since that's kinda the reason for that channel to exist.. that it is family friendly, that would be a reason that someone might chose that channel over another. Therefor, it's useful info and should be mentioned.

Hmmmm.
Hadn't thought of it that way...
I was under the impression this was being suggested to single out PV as an exception, instead of being the official rule in all channels, but yeah - perhaps indicating that there is active moderating going on will be a deciding factor.
█ Players Guide to the Cities
This is an updated list of the global channels Protector has.
Jello Shooters: Primarily a chat channel. Sometimes you see mention for events, task forces and whatnot.
Protector Vigilance:Server events, team-ups, badges, monsters, and chat. Consider this channel PG13 and moderated.
Protector Watch:Mainly used for rare spawning monsters, occasional task force.
Teamsters:TFs and GM hunts.
Protector Monsters Giant monsters
Paragon Watch Task Forces, Giant Monsters, Badges etc.
Please note, this is a cropped list from the original. If your channel is missing, or there is another active channel I've missed, please let me know. As well, please let me know what the primary function of the channel is: ie Badges, Task Forces, Chat, Teams, etc. This post will be updated/modified based on information received.
Thanks and happy hunting!
I hear Protector TFs is still active, though I don't have room to get on it and check.
Also, there's a rumor that the /Chan_Timeout command is now working. I would say that it doesn't really apply to any of the Protector channels, since there isn't one that I know of that gets near the member limit (2,500, I believe), but I just thought I'd mention it.

I've found Protector Watch and Vigilance to be pretty sparse lately with Watch almost completely inactive. Or maybe it's just the times I get on. Are there other channels that have become more popular in the last 6 months?
There's just not a lot of Task Forces being done lately. I was on Saturday and there were only a half dozen or so started. Most of the traffic has been trials. Once the word gets out a lot of folks just hang out in RWZ or Pocket D waiting for trials to start.

Often there are scheduled events there already announced, which might also explain where the activity is occuring.

The MOTD in the channel, before I left, supported that rating.
An NC-17 rated motion picture is one that, in the view of the Rating Board, most parents would consider patently too adult for their children 17 and under. No children will be admitted. NC-17 does not mean obscene or pornographic in the common or legal meaning of those words, and should not be construed as a negative judgment in any sense. The rating simply signals that the content is appropriate only for an adult audience. An NC-17 rating can be based on violence, sex, aberrational behavior, drug abuse or any other element that most parents would consider too strong and therefore off-limits for viewing by their children.
But I agree it does happen from time to time, hence the "R" rating.
