Reguarding Classes and behavior... -Virtue - Mar 28 07:29pm

It seems that this has gotten to the state where a News post has to be made, and I'm really not happy about it.

I for one have noticed that behavior of the Students, and even the JAK+ sometimes have gotten slightly out of hand in Classes recently.
Screwing around, not listening, treating everything as a joke, running around, swinging Lightsabers or firing Weapons at the wrong times etc.

I'm going to try to make this clear to all of you now.
Classes held Officially by the Academy and it's Instructors are not to be made fun of.

Sure, it's okay to make friends and have a laugh, we're a community after all, but when you enroll in a Class, you need to be respectful, quiet and pay attention. If you don't like the Class, leave, I'm sure you won't be missed.

I have spoken to Buzz and a few others about this and we have had words with alot of the JAK+ to be alot more strict during Class now. If you act up, you get kicked, if you rejoin after you get kicked, you get kickbanned.

Now, if you are in a Class to learn, you must do just that, pay attention and learn. Only do something when an Instructor tells you to (I.E. Turn on your Lightsaber, Shoot a Gun, Run around etc.). All other times you should be sitting down and listening.
If an Instructor is talking, it can get very difficult for others that are trying to read what He/She is saying if people are constantly talking or spamming their "LOL" binds. So as I said, just sit down and pay attention. If you have a Question, just let the Instructor know and He/She will get around to answering it when they have finished giving advice about the current subject.
Wheather you have Enrolled for a Class or not, please try to show up either 10 minutes before the Class starts, or 10 minutes after. Any later than that, then please don't join at all as it'll take the Teacher some time to explain to you what has been going on and what you should be doing.

Classes are held for your benefit, so making a mockery of them is both disrespectful to the Instructor, and disrespectful and unfair to those who are actually there to learn.

This was made clear in the Rules, and it makes me slightly angry that it has to be addressed in a News post aswell. I'm sure Hardwired and FiZZ wouldn't take kindly to the fact that many of you have complete disreguard for the time and effort they have put into writing out our Rules aswell.

Please bare this in mind.

That is all.

We're aware of that Roan, which is why I said "sometimes even the JAK+...".

Thank you for pointing it out though, this proves that things arn't going as they are supposed to.

I agree with this all. But would like to add sometimes JAK turn up and muck about with the Trainer.

This could give ppl the idea that the class is not so formal.

indeed

I don't really know what has been going on, since I only attend master FiZZ's classes, and things seem to be in order there.
Sure, some kids say 'LOL' all the time, and some just can't keep off the chatting, but that's all that I've seen here. But then, I don't attend more than two classes a week...

So, what has been going on?

Yeah, I agree with what virt said.. I dont know how things are and classes are run exactly in jk3.. But JAK's and JAT's dont show up to classes to fool around the entire time.. a class is indeed a class, people should listen rather then be an idiot at them. If u dont want to respect your fellow students , or the person leading the class and feel like fooling around.. I think there are plenty of other servers u can do that in. But while your here, Stop fooling around, be respectful and quit spamming and fooling around. Theres plenty of times to do that out of class, but while class is in session , guys , chill out. One thing I wanted to ask is..

what happened? have people been spamming and stuff? What'sa going on ?
