zenith Wrote:The only difference between a player and a moderator in-game is they have a "Forum Moderator" title in their player profile. They don't have access to anything a player cannot access in-game, hence why they do not appear on the staff list. For all intents and purposes they are only a player.
They volunteer to help out in the forums and don't get any other perks. Yes they volunteer for a thankless job and are held to a higher standard in-game by the community even though they are only players.
Most noobs would click on this list and see that there are only 2 people. 2 people who aren't as active as the players, and shouldn't really be bothered with noob questions. If the mods were listed up there and they saw one online, they might be inclined to ask there noob question insted of deciding they don't understand the game and quiting.
