Poll: Do you feel the moderators in general do a fair job?
Yes. They make mistakes sometimes, but overall they do a good job for which they receive no compensation.
No. Not really.
Definitely not. The community should be able to remove a moderator from that position as long as he/she can be replaced by another player.
They\'re great. I\'ve never had a problem.

hehe nice one, I gotta hand it to you. You can surely pull a rabbit out of a hat.

It means that we have had good enough control on the forum for over a year. Not that it was hard the first 2-3 months I was moderator, people got along, and those that didn't resorted to using ingame mail or simply ignore one another.

And I simply won't back down from an ongoing discussion like this.

Quote:That's similar to saying "we are not capable of taking any extensive amount of time to judge whether our actions could have been made better" or "as long as we are doing the minimal job, then nevertheless, we are still doing our job."

No it isn't. At all, it means that we have been using our common sense when we have been modifying, locking, removing threads. And that so far we have done a good job.

There will always be those that wander around in darkness ticked off cause their funny or witty insults got removed or edited, and if it is they or we who stepped over the line. That part is hard to decide. But you are forgetting our primary rule when we help keep the forum clean.

Our goal is to help players not make "unlucky" forum posts that might haunt them throughout their gaming experience. When they do it, we try to remove some of the useless banter/taunts or remove the thread entirely. You ask why? Because we want people that mess up to feel that moderators are looking out for them, no matter who they are. And we don't moderate people after face value.

Key to success: "Dress everyday like you're gonna get murdered in those clothes.
