Drew Pickles Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I think this problem would be fixed if we had multiple mods and player nominated mods 1 Quote I am Drew Pickles, leader of the ultra swell nation of Drewland.

Jon Snow Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I think this problem would be fixed if we had multiple mods and player nominated mods yea...no... moderating is not a democracy. you don't get to elect your friends and give them the power over a forum/game just because you don't like structure.

Ikol Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I think lambda would make a good mod Funny that because I was thinking she might be a good candidate, certainly is active enough to just to justify it and would be nice to balence things out.

Zacharias Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 How about you just follow the rules? If the rules are followed, then there are no problems. Player nominated mods are a bad idea. Alliances with a large amount of nations, bloc for example, could nominate one of their friends to be mods, then the mod could go on a rampage and ban everyone who has something negative to say about a bloc member/the alliance in general. Then Sheepy would have to sift through the rubble and fix everything. 2 Quote "To say that nothing is true is to realise that the foundations of society are fragile and that we must the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions and that we must live with our consequences, whether glorious or tragic."

Bilal the Great Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 How about you just follow the rules? If the rules are followed, then there are no problems.But the problem is not everybody want to follow the rule. If we had a strict mod everybody would just call him "tyrant" get him replaced.

RedArmy BushMan Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 But the problem is not everybody want to follow the rule. If we had a strict mod everybody would just call him "tyrant" get him replaced. What's wrong with that? If the majority of the player base disagrees with a mod and declares him over zealous then the only logical thing to do is replace him because a game is supposed to be fun to the majority.

CrackedMind Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Also, Drew, you're running on a double standard here: you campaigned to have Unkajo removed, and now you want the same rules when he was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikol Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Because 18 year olds can be a little insane. I am 18, and I am sure some people can testify that I was a sane mod. Honestly its all comes down to attitude (aka not just locking/banning things that make you uncomfortable) and experience to make a good mod, its a tough job that's for sure but I doubt age has a big impact on it.

Lambdadelta Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 But seriously though, Ukanjo wasn't a bad mod Yeah, no. He was disliked because he overzealously enforced his (selective) interpretation of the rules, silenced debate on the matter with locks and warns, often refused to respond to requests for clarification and frequently acted like an arrogant buffoon on the IRC channel. Even one of the Moderation staff agreed that he had to go. Unkajo was only in it for the power of being Head Mod - and his departure from the Moderation team entirely soon after his departure from that position more or less confirms it. 2 Quote There is no order and no meaning, there is only the truth of The Signal.

Ayayay Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Listen, I think "good" mods are a nonexistent entity. Everyone has a different standard for moderation and each mod enforces rules differently. I am sure that you do limited moderation on your AA's forums(as I did) and you probably were pretty laid back about it. But Laissez-faire moderation is only good for alliance forums, not the P&W forums. And as a mod, sometimes you have to censor something even if it is not listed as a rule (Seriously, who the hell posts an actual .torrent link?) If you don't like the moderation policies then you have a choice to not use the forums, simple as that.

Why, just this very moment I remembered not one but two games in which the moderation was and is very relaxed and for it the community blossomed.
