I'm an operator.

Do not adjust leg levelers - it's not your fucking machine.

Something not to your liking? Report it, play another machine, go somewhere else, or buy your own. Those are your options.

Some other things I wish "helpful" people would stop doing:
Turning off the power - that just delays a fix because I won't know about it
Power cycling - it can damage the machine
Putting tape or handmade signs on a machine you think is broken - this just delays a fix because again I won't know about it
Physically lifting up the machine or nudging so hard the machine moves from where its legs are - now I have to RELEVEL it, yes one inch to the left makes a difference on a worn wood floor

This should be common sense, people.

Lol, they're plenty tight. Doesn't do anything for the rage push, does it?

That doesn't do jack since staff usually turns the pins off at night and back on in the morning. Bad staff is a management issue that is correctable.

If you don't trust the staff use pinballmap.

I’d rather staff left them on 24/7.

Said nobody at all.

It’s simple: don’t fuck with something you don’t own. Road to hell and all. Want to help? REPORT IT.

The level of entitlement and self-delusion that someone has to have that they think they have the right to make "personal adjustments" on other people's property makes me sick.

Just yesterday I caught some homeless people trying to jimmy the lock on a fully enclosed and locked trash area. All so they could scrounge for fifty cents of recyclable cans. They didn't give a flying fuck about the $200 lock they were about to bust. No, they were entitled to their damn fifty cents. Exact same bullshit snowflake attitude.

Stop it. Show some respect.

You should be feeling sick about fucking with someone else's property. Shame on you.

So let me get this straight. Someone here suggested someone was calling pinball machines faberge eggs. Then I wrote 'said nobody at all.' And you link to me writing that pinball machines aren't faberge eggs. So, thanks for helping me make my point.

Or do you somehow believe that because I wrote this that I condone this behavior? That it makes it right? That I like it when people do this?

And Swainer80 does anyone give a shit if you slip a coaster under their pin, of course not. Again, "said nobody at all."

Lifting a machine, adjusting bolts, flipping the power? NO. That's not okay. You think the machine isn't level, broken, whatever, report it and go play another game. As a bonus if you report it we will gladly refund your two quarters, because that's the right thing to do.
