First let me explain before we move into the Zero Period talk.
TQ ~
Troll Queens ~ These are the worst type of trolls, now this is different from Slycan's classification list. Troll Queens are the users that control the pace of the trolling. They usually start the trolling session, and they are usually the last to stop. We usually know exactly who Troll Queens are, when they are on, and where they are on the map. Why? Because they shout it to the high heavens, and they are
always in general. The trolling can simply be about our stinky socks, but when a Troll Queen comes on, it turns into something perverse, and by the time the Queen gets off we usually have up to seventeen people on our block list.
T's ~
Trolls ~ We all know what these are. They troll. Sometimes it might be lol but most of the time it's *headdesk* Annoying yes. Unneeded yes. Bad people? Not so much. They are under the influence of the TQ's.
O's ~
Ogres ~ These are not trolls, almost like a subspecies, these people are usually extremely nice people, helpful and generous, and kind. But when a TQ comes on they Troll like no other. They become rude and obnoxious and they are like a different person. But when the TQ gets off they are themselves again.
ZP ~
ZERO PERIOD ~ The worst time, all in game people know what this is. This happens when it's extremely late at night, or very early in the morning, sometimes it happens in the middle of the day. ZP comes more than once sometimes, and doesn't end unless there is evidence of punishment, or when the TQ and the T's and O's get offline. Zero Period is a time when there seems to be no in game moderators online to control general chat. And we block twenty people until the general chat is silent. You can tell when ZP is happening because almost everyone is shouting MOD through general chat, sadly your calls for help cannot be heard. Why? Because there are no in game moderators online, or watching that specific map at the time. Once the red letter scariness comes over general chat though, everything calms down and ZP is officially over.
The point? ZP is one of the worst times on FH, I find myself looking around for a moderator, or blocking everyone in sight that's trolling general. Why is this thread here? Because a lot of people have been wondering about the use of the general chat, and why moderators are kicking/banning people for chatting in general. The reason they probably do it is because they have received screenshots of ZERO PERIOD at it's worst when people are "chatting" away about all types of inappropriate topics. I think I might post a screenshot of ZERO PERIOD right here for you to see. Maybe this way you'll understand a little bit better. All user names have been blotted out except for the people sitting next to me. They didn't say a word while all this was happening, I'm having a feeling they were screen shooting all this as well.
