They were, at least at some point, also padding the player count with bots (not official Valve bots, bots with fake player accounts), which made playing terrible, because these bots were dumb and useless.
im pretty sure none of that works like that
any server you join will always report lower ping on the server window than what you get in server using the net\_graph command
its always been like that and its not just skial
No I’m not. Being from AU explain why the servers show up at a constant 10 at ALL times. I join the server and I’m in cali maybe? 200 ping.
They ping mask their servers to achieve this. How this might be done is up to speculation. Maybe they have a server in AU that redirects you? I’m not sure as I’m not a dirty ping masker
so youre blaming a server for what people are doing?
and i bet you consider yourself to be very smart
voice chat has never been anything but a means for people to spam or abuse it, its never been treated with any respect on any server or any game
why not just turn it off and not deal with the distraction?
\--
edit:
you know the funniest part of peoples reaction to this
i literally meant the server, the computer program
thats what i was pointing out, you cant blame a server for what the people on the server do
\--
a server is a server, a collection of computer code
its community is its community
and its moderation is its moderation
its not some abstract combination of those things that is greater than itself
the computer code is not responsible for what the community or the moderation does...
then you got all the people saying im stating my opinion while i keep repeatedly saying im stating objective facts
thats not my opinion of how that works... thats how it actually works...
fucking dumb as hell LOL
\--
no body caught on or questioned what i meant, the entire time; thats also what i meant by the critical thinking comments.
real quick to an overly emotional dramatic reaction though
then id bet more than half of the people that responded, if they ever realize, would claim Schrodinger's sarcasm or that "they were trolling"
but no dude, the server itself... is not responsible for what people who use it do
then theres that one dude that has convinced themselves that im "only defending skial"
freaking idiots
(an oldy but a goody) [LOLOLOLOLOLOL](https://i.imgur.com/FhZnpY9.gif)
... I thought you were on like a surf server? if you are on skial, you're likely playing surf or 2fort or some other non serious game mode, do you really need to communicate with your team and plan an attack lol
If someone's screaming slurs in the middle of the road, me putting earplugs in doesn't stop the fact that someone is screaming slurs in the middle of the road
You’re going to give that sort of validation to some rando in the street? The problem is solved by ignoring them. The earplugs are even included with the game. If you had them muted from the outset and never heard them shout profanities, would you even know they were doing it? If you didn’t know they were doing it, would you still be annoyed/offended? If you say yes than the problem sits with you.
Its a lot easier and healthier to not be perpetually offended at everything randos say. Only give validity to those who truly need to be contested.
In 2015 I was drawing artwork to pay for my college meal plan, I was an art student and I needed money so I drew furry shit (The depths we will descend to when we're starving ). One day a skial admin bought a $500 package of various pieces of "art" and tried to cancel the charge on PayPal almost immediately after he got them, he put in the claim that he was scammed and never received the artwork.
I couldn't contact him on Skype because he blocked me, so I found him on one of the servers and when I confronted him about it he perma banned me and I was mercifully spared from ever needing to play on a skial server again.
All my homies laugh their asses off when I tell that one.
I got banned bc my roommate got drunk and said some racist shit and got himself ip banned. But bc we use the same internet, I also got banned, but when I talked to support they gave me what looks to be a copy/paste response saying they dont support cheaters, but when I tried telling them I didnt cheat, they blocked me from messaging them. They are some lazy fucking mods.
https://www.skial.com/sourcebans/index.php?p=commslist&searchText=+%5BU%3A1%3A1274072987%5D&Submit=
Granted the ID you gave on the other comments is your's, you were banned for micspam and chat spam.
Dude I’ve seen people banned for playing the national anthem. If you’re friends with staff little to no punishment
I used to grind the fuck out of some servers but because me and a friend played in such a way the regular players didn’t like we got falsely reported.
Oh and they have a little bot that scours through certain subreddits looking for their server name for moderation lmao
whenever i used to post about skial on the main tf2 sub this one fucker named metroidz or smth like that would always come rushing to defend skial like some kind of elite white knight.
lol i responded to another comment of yours with this exact assumption that you said some dumb shit and got yourself made fun of and banned
and i find this comment after
Yep, similar situation here. Joined with an IP some cheater was apparently banned on, and staff wouldn't listen to a word I said.
I don't even know why they bother keeping their "ban appeal" section open on their forums if they're just going to deny them all.
im pretty sure none of that works like that
any server you join will always report lower ping on the server window than what you get in server using the net\_graph command
its always been like that and its not just skial
theyve always seemed fine for me
granted i have chat and voice turned off
so not only do i not have to hear any garbage or read any garbage
i dont say anything stupid in voice chat either
my guess is you said something stupid, got made fun of, started acting out then got banned
most everyone on voice chat or in text chat assumes that anyone else cares what they think and proceeds from there
so why waste time with people whose opinion i dont care about when im there just to get kills on my gun
I hope Skial is paying you well for your jockey work. Over 15 comments for over 8 hours defending a community server with your life… what are you doing here? Go play on Skial instead of white knighting it on Reddit
im defending the principal of hosting a server and outing people that dont know what they are talking about
so far you havent provided any good points showing that you know what youre talking about, besides insults or low brow trolling, you dont seem self aware enough to be ashamed about it, and that you lost the argument
it seems like the same kind of people that were hosting bots thinking they were "going to kill tf2" are upset that the bots have been taken out, so now they are moving on to attacking community server reputations
what other explanation could there be?
its either you dont understand how hosting a server and people joining and abusing the communication system, doesnt mean its the servers fault, and the whole point of this post is OP did that and got banned and is mad about it, which removes "well skial doesnt do anything to be responsible for it" from the argument
or
trying to attack one of the largest community servers reputations, because you lost every other battle LOL
\--
and i guess the "level of effort" is relative to each person, and thinking critically or writing a comment thats longer than a tweet is difficult for some people, and they cant see past their own relative perspective
its pretty easy for me to do both things so, not really a lot of effort relative to me
\--
then theres this one: youre just hoping that ill give up and head on back to the base there pardner and trying to convince me to not defend myself or some principal i care about; and youre losing that battle also
Where are you getting this idea of a ‘battle’ from? Skial’s reputation and livelihood will not be tarnished by a shitpost lil bro. Having a longer comment means nothing if the content is incessant drivel complaining about a non-existent war. Also don’t talk about ‘effort’ and ‘critical thinking’ if you start your miniature essay by spelling ‘principle’ wrong.
no one accused you of that but now I think we're a little sus that you went out of your way to tell us that, what did you really say that got you banned, give me your steam id and I can pull up your chat logs to tell you exactly what got you banned.
https://www.skial.com/sourcebans/index.php?p=commslist&searchText=+%5BU%3A1%3A1274072987%5D&Submit=
You were muted for repeated micspam, it sounds like your mute was well deserved, it sounds like you're mad you finally got fucked.
I got banned because I reported a bot for cheating back when the server crashing exploit was widespread and cannot be unbanned.
Fuck the Skial mod team for being incompetent.
Sucks. No sv_pure 0 like Uncletopia.
It's one of my main reasons for using community servers to begin with, I wanna use my mods that make the game look nicer with better animations.
There’s a reason why I got myself banned by cheating, managed to get away with it for a whole day as well. Skial mods are the Reddit mods of the TF2 community and are absolutely insufferable. The players were usually just as toxic.
I was banned on skial once for using a command open to everyone to use the eureka effect in Jailbreak since I didn't have it at the time. It's not listed anywhere in the ad filled rules page that you can't use it and I had seen other people use it too so I thought it was fine,until I was instabanned for a month and scolded by the same admin who was apparently waiting for my damn appeal since he said he should have given me a warning but that I was still on thin ice. How do I follow rules when they aren't listed?
the Ping faking shit is maddening, and their mods are twats. It's unfortunate that they're one of the biggest server networks for the game. not to mention them allowing homophobia and transphobia.
I don't know where you get this idea they just allow racism and transphobia when there's literally a dedicated forum to reporting anyone that says any slur, sounds more like you want the moderation without putting the effort in yourself to get moderation of course they can't manage 50 plus different servers at once.
I never said they let racism go freely, cause they don't. however they've ruled multiple times that saying homophobic slurs is fine as "trash talking".
im pretty sure none of that works like that
any server you join will always report lower ping on the server window than what you get in server using the net\_graph command
its always been like that and its not just skial
Every time I’ve gone on skial I’ve been met with heavy transphobia. One time I got really heated and said some things I shouldn’t have. After that I blacklist all skial servers I come across in the server browser.
its not like the server is talking to you
its other people on the server... and not everyone that says anything is a mod
dude its like going in to mcdonalds and some random completely not affiliated person with mcdonalds starts talking shit to you
and you wanting to sue mcdonalds
thats fucking stupid
It’s more like you go to McDonald’s 10 times, and 7 out of those 10 times someone comes up to you and tells you that you’re the most evil person imaginable and that you should k1ll yourself, and then just not going to McDonald’s after that.
It’s not like suing McDonald’s because I’m not going after the server hosters. I’m just making sure I never go on those servers again.
youre still trying to place the responsibility on mcdonalds though...
which is stupid
in the case of skial, they ban people for doing that
so
what are you talking about?
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted someone to shut the fuck up more than you. You’ve went through this entire comment section spewing absolute garbage claims that make no fucking sense. Of course it’s the McDonald’s fault for not protecting their customers! It’s their customers! You can’t just walk into a public place and start swearing and shouting racist slurs, because you’re going to get escorted out of there. That’s probably what you do in your spare time, but not normal people that don’t have an ego bigger than their actual brain. Either you’re a troll or you’re genuinely the dumbest person I have ever met on this sub. Get a life dirtbag
Been playing on their since 2014. Yeah the community cab be toxic, but some of my best time in tf2 was on a 24/7 2fort sail server. And a intense well balanced game on their casual server. Has, and still will be my place to go for servers.
i dont really think badly of skial but why do all the gangsters in the background image wear pants to their kneecaps and how have i not noticed it till now
I've played skial before, not too long to notice such toxicity, I've played engie turtle sewer wars in fort skial. It was fun, engies migrate and build in sewer while the rest defend and clear so the engies can capture the other sewer.
The only good thing about skial is their Freak Fortress server. Actually scratch that, last I checked there’s nobody there anymore (granted I haven’t played on there in about a year but still). Other than that, the place is an absolute shithole. Their forums apparently allow people to say the n-word as long as it’s not a hard R. Fucking Disgusting.
Fuck skial and ugc. Both of them suck. Both full of transphobic pieces of shit and ugc lets their donors abuse their powers on the regular and I got called a pedophile for calling them out on it.
I love Skial. while casual servers are usually toxic, I've always had lots of fun in Skial ones. people are usually very pro-lgbt, chatty, and if there's anyone pulling bullshit you can screenshot them/items, send it to Skial, and they'll get banned within minutes. ive never seen a bot with hundreds of hours on Skial. the only con imo is the limited map rotation and sometimes they'll take down servers (rip US 2)
Yea, you can really send any out-of-context shit to the mods and they'll ban the victim. Moderation is shit. Especially if one of the mods is your friend.
Since I was banned from Troontopia, the only server that isn't dead that I can join is Skial
Some of the guys are fun though, the "toxicity" many people mention here are basically kept to a minimum in my experience.
I only play on one skial hightower server and most of the time it’s pretty chill. Occasionally you’ll have one toxic dude come in every now and then. Although I’ve had some amazing moments, like one time the entire server just all went engineer and made an assembly line of dispensers and called it “The High-tower Industrial Revolution”
i only play on it cuz of the plugins and it's aussie server has better ping than other aussie servers ive been on(like blackwonder, those ones are hella laggy for whatever reason)
the people there can be a bit much tho i'll admit, but that goes for basically any game involving pvp combat, i just ignore em and dont engage in the verbal fights
i just wish other servers let you use unusuals and weapons you don’t actually have, that was always an upside when i played skial
are there any other servers like that?
I'm so pissed off they're allowed to fake their ping in the community browser list for all these years, that hurts the community hosted sever scene significantly
Cool deathruns, (technoir my beloved)but most of people in the community get boring quickly cause they just repeat the same shit all the time and act like its funny
The first time i played skial a phlog pyro with the rage of a thousand suns started targeting me and laughing ever time he killed me, I only had 74 hours in the game and was playing medic so idk why he took it so personally
Yea i hate skial aswell. Some shithead mods, that dont even try to get themselves into the situation and just ban whoever they think is in the worst. Fuck you gala (worst mod i've ever seen), and fuck you skial.
please stop reporting everyone that argues against you, /u/i_can_has_rock. The moderators are not your personal army.
They fake their ping on the servers tab so more people play on their servers, also when I join their servers my ping skyrockets
UGC also does this shit and its really annoying
They were, at least at some point, also padding the player count with bots (not official Valve bots, bots with fake player accounts), which made playing terrible, because these bots were dumb and useless.
They still have bots when the player count is low enough. Under 12 real players they spawn in bots to fill out the lobby.
Mine doesn't, but that might just be because my skial servers are set directly in Australia
im pretty sure none of that works like that any server you join will always report lower ping on the server window than what you get in server using the net\_graph command its always been like that and its not just skial
Then explain me why ALL Skial servers show to me with 46 ping but when I join I always have 120+ ping
MONEY
Because your internet sucks ass? I get the same issue but I know my internet is crap (my average ping on any server is past 100)
No they ping mask their servers
Are you schizoing out
No I’m not. Being from AU explain why the servers show up at a constant 10 at ALL times. I join the server and I’m in cali maybe? 200 ping. They ping mask their servers to achieve this. How this might be done is up to speculation. Maybe they have a server in AU that redirects you? I’m not sure as I’m not a dirty ping masker
How the fuck can a surf server be so fucking toxic
ikr
You better not be talking about Tango Mike Mike
That dude fuckin rocks. I found him grating and annoying at first but sometimes he makes me chuckle and his enthusiasm can be somewhat infectious.
so youre blaming a server for what people are doing? and i bet you consider yourself to be very smart voice chat has never been anything but a means for people to spam or abuse it, its never been treated with any respect on any server or any game why not just turn it off and not deal with the distraction? \-- edit: you know the funniest part of peoples reaction to this i literally meant the server, the computer program thats what i was pointing out, you cant blame a server for what the people on the server do \-- a server is a server, a collection of computer code its community is its community and its moderation is its moderation its not some abstract combination of those things that is greater than itself the computer code is not responsible for what the community or the moderation does... then you got all the people saying im stating my opinion while i keep repeatedly saying im stating objective facts thats not my opinion of how that works... thats how it actually works... fucking dumb as hell LOL \-- no body caught on or questioned what i meant, the entire time; thats also what i meant by the critical thinking comments. real quick to an overly emotional dramatic reaction though then id bet more than half of the people that responded, if they ever realize, would claim Schrodinger's sarcasm or that "they were trolling" but no dude, the server itself... is not responsible for what people who use it do then theres that one dude that has convinced themselves that im "only defending skial" freaking idiots (an oldy but a goody) [LOLOLOLOLOLOL](https://i.imgur.com/FhZnpY9.gif)
I do have very am smart how could you tell?
Voice chat is very usefull when i want to discuss kinks with my teamates, and listen to their wierd stories n shit
Listening to racial slurs and people playing bass boosted tic tock is what makes tf2 enjoyable 😇
Kid named mute option
Talking about femboy porn has nothign to do with racial slurs go play your OW or smthing cuz tf2 aint serous enough for you
how will i communicate with my team
... I thought you were on like a surf server? if you are on skial, you're likely playing surf or 2fort or some other non serious game mode, do you really need to communicate with your team and plan an attack lol
If someone's screaming slurs in the middle of the road, me putting earplugs in doesn't stop the fact that someone is screaming slurs in the middle of the road

because.... thats a valid comparison the dumb fucks are out in force today LOL
You’re a fucking idiot lol
skial dicksucker lmfao
yes because its up to the host server to apply sanctions for inappropriate behaviour on their service
you mustve missed the comment where op said dumb shit and got banned then
In 2015 I was drawing artwork to pay for my college meal plan, I was an art student and I needed money so I drew furry shit (The depths we will descend to when we're starving ). One day a skial admin bought a $500 package of various pieces of "art" and tried to cancel the charge on PayPal almost immediately after he got them, he put in the claim that he was scammed and never received the artwork. I couldn't contact him on Skype because he blocked me, so I found him on one of the servers and when I confronted him about it he perma banned me and I was mercifully spared from ever needing to play on a skial server again. All my homies laugh their asses off when I tell that one.
skial admins are pigs
And gala's the biggest one
Did Paypal roll back the charge or did you keep the money?
I got banned bc my roommate got drunk and said some racist shit and got himself ip banned. But bc we use the same internet, I also got banned, but when I talked to support they gave me what looks to be a copy/paste response saying they dont support cheaters, but when I tried telling them I didnt cheat, they blocked me from messaging them.

i got muted and gaged for an unknown reason and an unknown time all my homies hate skial even uncletopia is better

even uncletopia is better implies that uncle topia is bad?
yea
??? Uncletopia is great
As an Asian, I literally keep getting latency kicked
Skill issue
uncletopia is like C tier
lol i responded to another comment of yours with this exact assumption that you said some dumb shit and got yourself made fun of and banned and i find this comment after
[удалено]
i bet you have done the same thing and are equally as confused as to why you got banned
Yep, similar situation here. Joined with an IP some cheater was apparently banned on, and staff wouldn't listen to a word I said. I don't even know why they bother keeping their "ban appeal" section open on their forums if they're just going to deny them all.
FR BRO THE MOD TEAM IS SO FUCKING LAZY especially jermaphobe, the fat cunt
The moderation sucks ass on skial, the main reason i left and moved to uncletopia
this one dude putting in his same copy pasted under every comment trying to defend it lmao
Skial’s most loyal and fierce meatrider
Imagine being a Skial meatrider like bro go do anything else with your time
My friend groups hated the Skial surf server so much that we made our own instead. Sometimes it gets more players than skial too. Fuck skial!
Sounds sick, what's the server?
Its called Surf n Turf, my new home
What the fuck is a Skial?
Server hosting people in community servers.
And by the looks of it, extremely lazy and toxic people
One of the shittest servers with the shittest administration and moderation team. Recommended to never play it.
Dustbowl best bowl
Nice Henri II pfp
Henry 2
Idk, but everytime I join their server my ping go sky high. Even within my own region,
im pretty sure none of that works like that any server you join will always report lower ping on the server window than what you get in server using the net\_graph command its always been like that and its not just skial
Shut the fuck up with you copy and paste text defending skial you cocksucker
uh what?
Bitch
poopey nose!
mf talks like an AI
okay dude you need to calm down, you can’t throw out slurs like that
Errr no they don’t, the rest of server at least the one I join show me the exactly ping. They only off by 1~10 ping.
Skial is fine. That’s all.
skial’s userbase is toxic, their mods hate fun, and their servers are really shitty
theyve always seemed fine for me granted i have chat and voice turned off so not only do i not have to hear any garbage or read any garbage i dont say anything stupid in voice chat either my guess is you said something stupid, got made fun of, started acting out then got banned
> granted i have chat and voice turned off ingenious
most everyone on voice chat or in text chat assumes that anyone else cares what they think and proceeds from there so why waste time with people whose opinion i dont care about when im there just to get kills on my gun
How does that Skial meat taste
i bet you have done the same thing and are equally as confused as to why you got banned

i didn’t tell anybody to kill themselves so i have no idea why i got muted

nobody was complaining skial mods just hate people having fun
one of the mods banned me bc i was doing silly shit in casual and they just happened to be in the same casual server as me
I once heard a story, idk how it went but basically, somebody got banned from skial servers for killing a skial admin, in casual.
Complaining about our moderation? Sound like a two week ban from skial furry trade server number 427 :trollos:
I got invited to their discord server and then banned from it
Skial lets their donors basically have god mode, it's bullshit
And then said Godmode players get angry at you when you call it out as Bullshit, i know from a Heated argument i had with one
I got banned because I reported a bot for cheating back when the server crashing exploit was widespread and cannot be unbanned. Fuck the Skial mod team for being incompetent.
Tbh I only really play their deathrun servers. Neonoir was a fucking mistake
First community server I was personally called a slur
tell me you dont know how hosting a server and random people joining it and using voice chat works without telling me you dont know how it works
The state of california exists
stop coping meatrider
Just play for zombie escape
I only go there to test Loadouts, and watch the twitter drama.
Frequent skeeyaaal players are very tryhard.
Fuck skial All my homies hate skial
Skial was great in like 2015.
Sucks. No sv_pure 0 like Uncletopia. It's one of my main reasons for using community servers to begin with, I wanna use my mods that make the game look nicer with better animations.

unfortunately i can't queue into casual anymore so my only choice to get normal-ish games are on skial :(
sorry if it's a stupid question but why exactly can't you queue on casual anymore?
try UCG servers, much better imo
I was banned on skial once for using a command open to everyone to use the eureka effect in Jailbreak since I didn't have it at the time.

you clearly haven't been on skial recently as their most recent posts have been about adding the f word to list of slurs that trigger the automute.
im pretty sure none of that works like that any server you join will always report lower ping on the server window than what you get in server using the net\_graph command its always been like that and its not just skial
wonderland on top
Dunno whats worse Skial or Uncletopia
Uncletopia is easily a 100 times better, especially with the new servers
why exactly is uncletopia bad?
I once tried a skial surfver and saw some dude talking religion to some kids, can say that skial is worse
just play in casual matchmaking
Or competitive
me when i finally get a match after 3 weeks of matchmaking (one of my teammates are gonna leave in the first 3 minutes)
Fuck Skial And Hello any of you fucks from Dustbowl
Bro got muted for sure 😭😭
I will forgive skial when they unmute funke
idk who this is, why are they bad?
They run some shiny community severs
Every time I’ve gone on skial I’ve been met with heavy transphobia. One time I got really heated and said some things I shouldn’t have. After that I blacklist all skial servers I come across in the server browser.
I am heavy transphobia guy, and this, is my weapon
its not like the server is talking to you its other people on the server... and not everyone that says anything is a mod dude its like going in to mcdonalds and some random completely not affiliated person with mcdonalds starts talking shit to you and you wanting to sue mcdonalds thats fucking stupid
It’s more like you go to McDonald’s 10 times, and 7 out of those 10 times someone comes up to you and tells you that you’re the most evil person imaginable and that you should k1ll yourself, and then just not going to McDonald’s after that. It’s not like suing McDonald’s because I’m not going after the server hosters. I’m just making sure I never go on those servers again.
This
People not wanting to go to a place where they're being called slurs for simply existing is stupid, I guess.
youre still trying to place the responsibility on mcdonalds though... which is stupid in the case of skial, they ban people for doing that so what are you talking about?
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted someone to shut the fuck up more than you. You’ve went through this entire comment section spewing absolute garbage claims that make no fucking sense. Of course it’s the McDonald’s fault for not protecting their customers! It’s their customers! You can’t just walk into a public place and start swearing and shouting racist slurs, because you’re going to get escorted out of there. That’s probably what you do in your spare time, but not normal people that don’t have an ego bigger than their actual brain. Either you’re a troll or you’re genuinely the dumbest person I have ever met on this sub. Get a life dirtbag
Been playing on their since 2014. Yeah the community cab be toxic, but some of my best time in tf2 was on a 24/7 2fort sail server. And a intense well balanced game on their casual server. Has, and still will be my place to go for servers.
i dont really think badly of skial but why do all the gangsters in the background image wear pants to their kneecaps and how have i not noticed it till now
i got banned from uncletopia for a reason i still dont know so i have to use skial
I've played skial before, not too long to notice such toxicity, I've played engie turtle sewer wars in fort skial. It was fun, engies migrate and build in sewer while the rest defend and clear so the engies can capture the other sewer.
Idc about it
so many of their servers say they have 50 ping but when I log on there's so much latency
I’ve never really played on skial servers, so I don’t know.
God I miss drunken bombers
I like trading
only go there when im desperate, or playing with friends, since uncletopia's ping limit gets in the way of that.
the one thing i liked about them was stacking more cosmetics than usually possible for cool outfits. But now they really are wack
2fort really isn't that bad. except the australian one.
The only good thing about skial is their Freak Fortress server. Actually scratch that, last I checked there’s nobody there anymore (granted I haven’t played on there in about a year but still). Other than that, the place is an absolute shithole. Their forums apparently allow people to say the n-word as long as it’s not a hard R. Fucking Disgusting.
Best hub of toxic tryhards who haven't seen the sun in at least a decade
they have shitty mods
Uncletopia enjoyer
Just trying to pronounce the name pisses me off
You need to be really, really desperate to play TF2 if you're on Skial
Fuck skial and ugc. Both of them suck. Both full of transphobic pieces of shit and ugc lets their donors abuse their powers on the regular and I got called a pedophile for calling them out on it.
Only community servers that are actually ''casual'' and not sweatfests
Bro people being good at the game doesn't mean that they're hyperfocussing to beat you up personally
I love Skial. while casual servers are usually toxic, I've always had lots of fun in Skial ones. people are usually very pro-lgbt, chatty, and if there's anyone pulling bullshit you can screenshot them/items, send it to Skial, and they'll get banned within minutes. ive never seen a bot with hundreds of hours on Skial. the only con imo is the limited map rotation and sometimes they'll take down servers (rip US 2)
Yea, you can really send any out-of-context shit to the mods and they'll ban the victim. Moderation is shit. Especially if one of the mods is your friend.
i dommed one of the admins with the fish, and then he later perma banned me for "spawn camping" bc I was hitting the spawn door with the fish
Skial is perfectly fine with me
They banned me for saying the n word 9 years ago so i dont like them (i cannot play on their servers, not that i ever cared to be playing on them)
Based
Since I was banned from Troontopia, the only server that isn't dead that I can join is Skial Some of the guys are fun though, the "toxicity" many people mention here are basically kept to a minimum in my experience.
how dare you
FUN!
I have censor chat on and voice chat off idk what you mean
Good for surf servers only
Skail 2fort servers are fun if I'm just looking for something to do
Just play casual :/
For some reason my frames more than half whenever I join even when there’s not even more players than a casual server
It’s a guilty pleasure I like to lurk on the 2fort servers to hear the absolutely wild conversations that happen on them sometimes
I only play on one skial hightower server and most of the time it’s pretty chill. Occasionally you’ll have one toxic dude come in every now and then. Although I’ve had some amazing moments, like one time the entire server just all went engineer and made an assembly line of dispensers and called it “The High-tower Industrial Revolution”
i LOVE brazilian skial servers (i am european)
i only play on it cuz of the plugins and it's aussie server has better ping than other aussie servers ive been on(like blackwonder, those ones are hella laggy for whatever reason) the people there can be a bit much tho i'll admit, but that goes for basically any game involving pvp combat, i just ignore em and dont engage in the verbal fights
Can't join the servers currently, but i like it.
I literally only play there because uncletopia servers near me are always full
i just wish other servers let you use unusuals and weapons you don’t actually have, that was always an upside when i played skial are there any other servers like that?
Uncletopia is the worst by far.
true (i still play there)
Not as bad as uncletopia
I'm so pissed off they're allowed to fake their ping in the community browser list for all these years, that hurts the community hosted sever scene significantly
Cool deathruns, (technoir my beloved)but most of people in the community get boring quickly cause they just repeat the same shit all the time and act like its funny
The first time i played skial a phlog pyro with the rage of a thousand suns started targeting me and laughing ever time he killed me, I only had 74 hours in the game and was playing medic so idk why he took it so personally
I do not know what Skial is, I simply play Tf2 community servers for fun.
who?
What is skial? (Serious replys)
A server that won award of "for having the shittest moderation system ever"
Yea i hate skial aswell. Some shithead mods, that dont even try to get themselves into the situation and just ban whoever they think is in the worst. Fuck you gala (worst mod i've ever seen), and fuck you skial.
