yeah mantys was really solid. when i was first modded i admired his approach to modding the most - diligent and low drama.

well i mean, this is modding on my free time for a website. it's not that serious. i'd rather be right and get the job done than posture myself.

when people use the report function they aren't asking mods for help. they're basically saying "this person did a bad thing, bye"
Very true, but with other things like asking questions or how to do something or being whitelisted etc
You can't even name 3 people on the site who would splurg out in the Whitelist thread and say things to the user which would push them to suicide if they're mentally fragile.
mantys wasn't rude. he just wasn't outwardly "nice" that seems to be the only way to not be rude, apparently. he never said anything rude, ever, and the short time that i modded with him he was super chill

actually, i think every single moderator who has worked with me should know that i'm one of the few people who is genuinely helpful in the mod chat, and that's what pisses me off when i read about them thinking i would be a bad influence on retti and that he would leak to me.
retti has never leaked to me and i have never asked him to, unless it was a ban ID check to do a cheating pastebin.
idr but someone was under the impression retti leaked to connor but retti's never leaked anything, even post modship

rutab i don't understand why you have factually incorrect memories of me but it's weird O__O
You can ask Shacky, I think I talked to him about this once
well calling myself the best mod isn't really a slam against the other mods. i'm just trying to be the best mod. i'm not gonna try to be an okay mod, i'm going to be the best mod. and i was.
Report wise, yes, you were a good mod. Personality-wise, approachability is an important thing.

i think the bigger problem with people perceived as rude is that the other mods may feel uncomfortable working with them, which could throw off good chemistry on a team.
There isn't a person on this site who's aggressive or "mean" enough to make [PROFESSIONAL] moderators take a dislike to them and freeze them out.
the question is how many mods fit that definition of 'professional'? Not very many.
And very many are nice ... it's almost like there's a connection here.
i remember the convo, rutab. i'm pretty sure i told you that that's just the way slow is and he didn't purposely try to make you feel that way, but it's understandable if you aren't chummy with him i guess.
