neich Posted April 20, 2019 #1 Posted April 20, 2019 I think the question is several, and I hope that I have not overlooked a post in which everything has been explained. I already have such a premonition but, what happend? is it coming back? I personally miss it honestly!
KiXxnTRiXx Posted April 20, 2019 #2 Posted April 20, 2019 i think it is because people kept using to troll trivia after eugene did it that one time.. but at least eugene tipped everyone that typed the command 50k sats,.. then some peeps.. ahem.. was doing the troll trivias for 1000 sats.. lmao... it was funny at first.. then it just became out of hand,, all of a sudden its a popular trivia to troll bonzo.. XD
neich Posted April 20, 2019 Author #3 Posted April 20, 2019 ok then i was right with what i thought and honestly i was also one of those who did BUT! I got my punishment for it too.
wry Posted April 20, 2019 #4 Posted April 20, 2019 As with many things it was deactivated because it was being abused. Eugene might have paid everyone but it still generated a lot of support tickets so it made a lot of work for everyone else. The good news is that I'm sure any mod online will be happy to mute you for an hour upon request to help you take a break from the site. Good Luck!
FotisNt Posted April 21, 2019 #5 Posted April 21, 2019 I miss bonzo a lot, too bad that we abused it a bit, would make it harder if we knew that it will get deleted.
allisonn Posted April 21, 2019 #6 Posted April 21, 2019 If you think about it, isn't this a very interesting experiment? Anyone who doesn't know about it will find out the hard way sooner or later, so lets assume every participant is familiar with the rules. I can do a bonzo trivia and anyone who wishes to self-mute can race to be the first. That means you are willing to give up the ability to type in chat up front, for a chance of X amount of money. People who don't care about X amount will stay in chat. Wouldn't this result in a higher-quality chat experience? I think it absolutely would.
bobdole Posted April 21, 2019 #7 Posted April 21, 2019 Yes bring back !bonzo it's much more dramatic than simply leaving chat. The only reason I can see for removing it is so new players aren't tricked into muting themselves but they'll learn their lesson lol
jualid Posted April 21, 2019 #8 Posted April 21, 2019 Because of many people abused !bonzo and other selfmute command, also make a trivia to type !bonzo on chat. That's why admin/mod/sup turn off the selfmute command.
Mistake Posted April 21, 2019 #9 Posted April 21, 2019 i also like to do bonzo sometime xDD idk why thats like addict
williamshennie9 Posted April 21, 2019 #10 Posted April 21, 2019 I think it was removed because people hosted trivia asking people to type ! bonzo, then then they got muted of course. That was just plain taking advantage of someone else, so that is why I think they removed it.
Shaniqua Posted April 21, 2019 #11 Posted April 21, 2019 i know a way you can get bonzo to work instead of ttyping in"!bonzo" try typing in "!BONZO", sometimes its b uggy... so if you type it "!BONZO" a few times after eachother... you will get the same effect =P

Community Manager Stake Staff Posted April 22, 2019 Community Manager #13 Posted April 22, 2019 Personally, I loved the feature!!! I begged hui for so long to implement it on both sites and it has shown to be quite useful if a player wants to take a break or just move away from the keyboard after a loosing streak, get out from an argument and not bug mods to mute him/her 😉 Yes, we have had a few unlucky incidents because of it. Yes, it has been abused unfortunately. I would love to see it back, but I guess it will not be, not for a while at least, not since it creates unnecessary workload for us, and since many don't know how to use it properly 😢 #justiceforselfmute
zulfandina Posted April 22, 2019 #14 Posted April 22, 2019 just follow the rules. no need to be adventurous. we have mods that always watch every player's movements. don't need to be fickle. 1 minute ago, zulfandina said: just follow the rules. no need to be adventurous. we have mods that always watch every player's movements. don't need to be fickle.
Cent21 Posted April 22, 2019 #15 Posted April 22, 2019 I'm not sure if i'm understanding correctly... That bonzo chat command was an auto-mute function? What's the purpose of that? Can't users simply ignore chat to have the same effect?
Kate Posted April 22, 2019 #16 Posted April 22, 2019 Well i feel bad for Gene Even though it was removed because of Gene but maybe they might bring it back after discovering and fixing all the bugs that caused the problem.
rajamishra Posted April 22, 2019 #17 Posted April 22, 2019 hello friends its missed by all off us,but its true we all messed it up too ,hope it back again if we are not messed it up again
laron Posted April 22, 2019 #18 Posted April 22, 2019 well that's the question that I often ask, I really miss bonzo, because with bonzo we can pause from chat activities that might be rather sickening hopefully in the future be held bonzo by stake team
Etude Posted April 22, 2019 #19 Posted April 22, 2019 This is a weird request, but sure whatever fits you self-muter's lovers fancy I guess.

Sped Posted April 23, 2019 #21 Posted April 23, 2019 It was probably because of all the troll trivias and such and this is just a hassle, but I loved the idea of it. When stake rams you up the ass its an easy way to just get mad and rage without actually getting mad in chat. Its a self control tactic in my eyes.
williamshennie9 Posted April 23, 2019 #22 Posted April 23, 2019 I'm sure you can just ask live support to mute your account for x hours if you really wanted your account to be muted. But yeah, bonzo was a nice way to publicly declare yourself muted. Pity it was abused by people.

I mean every player should have the option to self mute. For all those that feel for it in troll trivia thats there bad for not knowing the chat commands lol.
Community Manager Stake Staff Posted April 23, 2019 Community Manager #25 Posted April 23, 2019 Did you guys know that !bonzo was just one of many self-mute commands? 🙃 harakiri|bonzo|Βonzo|tipme|rain|selfown|redbutton|detonate|bigbadabum|kamikaze|selfmute|whyce|sad day|sadday|bored|donate|nice tip|nicetip How many did you (ab)use? 😁
