How is it that...

almost 10 years

How is it that newer players become moderators over people who have been playing for years? It makes no sense tbh because wouldn't you want the older players that have more experience modding this site? We literally put in time and effort here and tokens. idk, I guess the admin team can pick who they want but don't you think vets that have been around since 2.0 or earlier are more qualified?

just mod whoever you think will do the best job for what is needed or who can learn the fastest

being a good "team player" matters too, obviously, but you should also look for people who aren't afraid to give a stance/raise their voice when they feel like an admin or another moderator is wrong. that being said you don't want someone who will go nuts if their opinion isn't the one that is deemed "correct"

old/new doesn't matter really when you consider the above. sure maybe more old players would fit the criteria (at least that's what one would think), but newer players can definitely fit it too

Anyway, I *personally* don't see whether it matters if "old" players or "new" players become moderators, but I suppose I fall in that "new" player category so it wouldn't.

I just want competency.

i think theres nothing wrong with modding new users over older ones when theyre the only ones applying


I literally apply every time they need mods and I have been here since 2010..don't wanna hear that lol.
But this really isn't about me..this was just a question that I have always wondered..

where is even the "proof" he blackmailed him anyways?


I will always be thanksful for Runwithfire, Eris/GaryOak and Apostasy (and a few others such as rutab) for saving me. Incredibly thankful and I won't let anyone talk crap about them.


it was in his outbox, riot was admin at the time and reset the password and I read the messages, what he had over derfel was unspecified though.

starfuel says

do you really mean "old players" or do you mean forum posters, because the most recent mod, Totori, is the oldest player on the team.


not older than me

Hmmm idk.. I'm not saying that black mail is right.....but if I remember correctly it was him "black mailing" Derfel for not reporting him to the authorities when there was solid evidence of derfel messaging a 16 year old girl suggestively...also Derfel was a teacher so that was against the rules for him as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but was't derfel accused of being a child predator?


Because That Justifies Blackmail
