Why do people like Sorcus?

I'm genuinely interested to know as to why Sorcus remains so liked. I have not seen him serve any purpose but instead change the game for the worse (forcing a reset feature, patching local parts hack, forcing new in-game layout, etc.). Even after the things Sorcus does it appears that people remain joking around with him.

This thread isn't a means of disrespect but straight from utter curiosity.

Didn't Sorcus edit the new backpack and leaderboard?

Whoever did it, should change it back, to be honest. I like the text wrapping for chat, but the %% for team chat is a bit annoying, and if you put % at the start, it's still deleted. The leaderboard is harder to read sometimes, although the scrolling is better, it doesn't feel like the steams are as separated as before. (Cut and dry, hard to find the right word).

Then the tool box is really messed up. Tools without an icon will not display their names until you click them, making organizing your tools a pain when most of them are lacking an icon. :/

I heard he did that, but whoever did, seems to have made many things worse. (Some things are fixed, others become annoyances).

Whoever changed the leaderboard really changed it for the worse.

For example, instead of putting seperate bars for team names and such, why not just colour the background of the player names that team colour and show the team names when expanded?

What's more, the new leaderboard seems to lag, for example, entering a place would mean an empty leaderboard for me, and new names would appear after a 2 second interval meaning I'd have to wait for like a minute until everyone's name shows up in the leaderboard. >.>

For a long time there wasn't an admin part of the community here (probably in part due to the needlessly hostile environment). Wouldn't you agree it's better to have someone who'll tell us about plans and update details as well as listen to our opinions and suggestions?

@zars
First off, he's no troll. Also, if he actually was hated, you wouldn't call him troll.

@brandonhare
But Sorcus DOESN'T do that. He discovers the fun (and useless) hacks we enjoy using and patches it. I suspect he receives salary bonuses by doing so, and although that may be perfectly understandable as that is his job, he could easily approach problems with flexible solutions (e.x. letting us disable the reset button, adding an official local parts feature, making HUD less obtrusive).

First example: it would be good for older scripted games which require a lot of needless rewriting to get around it
Second example: he'd probably get an even bigger bonus if he actually did add this feature
Third example: We're supposed to be innovating with our games and they're supposed to supply us with the tools to do so. Not the other way around.

Not to mention there is HotThoth who is higher up in respect, to me at least.

>forcing a reset feature
The feature is great. Many games lack a reset tool/gui button, and having this in the menu has been really useful. If your game is so advanced that this feature is terrible for you, then you can easily prevent players from resetting by renaming the humanoid.

>patching local parts hack
The local parts haaaaaaax still works, and it's not getting patched any time soon.

Trust me- it's too common; they're not removing it.

>forcing new in-game layout, etc.
I like the new layout. The only thing I have issues with is the leaderboard crashing. THAT is annoying, but it wasn't intentional-- and it's not only Sorcus' team that updates without testing thoroughly, it's the whole of ROBLOX.

Emess/Holo/[ Content deleted ] is just a hater, probably QQing because he's banned. and just decided to like go hate and be depressed.

IMHO and for the good of our morale, I think he should just be banned permanently, maybe IP'd. All he does is flame, start flame wars, and write hate messages to Sorcus and I. He never really posts anything useful, I don't think so at least. Nothing that I can remember.

yeah so umm

do that pls

I mean look, even this has turned into some sort of flame war/argument

Sorcus took our opinions quite a few times actually

I don't know any other admin that did. Other than whoever writes the ROBLOX Suggestion Response blog article series thing.

@snucks
I'm not depressed, and even if I was, it'd be silly to be so over an online game where I'm not doing anything aside from playing around with Studio which lets me use it even when I'm banned.

From what I know, I'm contributing more to Scripters discussion than you. In fact I don't remember a single post made by you that was in good faith. At all.

@thedestroyer
I'm not sure if you know or not due to your young age, but Sorcus doesn't troll. It's called 9gagging, or as you may call it, posting a bunch of overused memes in one clusterfreak of a sentence.

Well, I post something and then you backseat moderate by saying how it belongs in Scripting Helpers. Not sure if you we're here for a long time, but we Scripters forum veterans know that when Doom was in charge, he stated that Scripters was a place for the type of questions that regard advanced scripting topics and can lead to intelligent scripting discussion.

Exactly what I try using my utmost efforts. I am sure I can post the same exact material on an alternate account without girl hair or BC and you will be completely unsuspectible and ignore the thread (considering the fact that you do not know how to script).

This can't be fixed without the API being expanded, which is open to hacks. Any they don't like expanding the API anyway.

I haven't actually met Sorcus yet.
I've observed him from a distance and heard about him from a friend of his, but we've never spoken a word to eachother.
I believe that he's the kind of person that turns out to be wonderful when you get to know him.
