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?
Maybe it's because one time he got so gosh darn mad at a cheater getting modded he felt the need to go on a tirade against transgender people. The perfect moderator.
Sure this wasn't sarcasm or taken out of context? Because he hated when people would mock others for severe disabilities, he befriended me and other black players (he really did save my life once)
most vets don't make very good mods, especially ones that modded before. they get bored of doing reports quickly and want things done their own way instead of how they should be done. this applies to the current ones as well.
I don't know why people disliked him really. He practically saved my life once and is such a nice person once you sit down and talk with him. I've never heard him say anything racist at all. Yes he was slightly arrogant, but can you blame him? He was all about in justice on the MOD team and cheaters too.
Or do you really think that sonseray would be a perfect mod? Mr. literal blackmail, flagrant transphobic & racist comments, angry contrarian, arrogant AtE-happy player would be a perfect mod? really?
oh and Anthony just got remodded I guess so there's a forum poster vet.
the real solution is that a mix of vets and newer mods is probably ideal. vets tend to know what they're doing better and are often (not always) a bit better at handling the PR side of things. but they tend to be jaded and often even lazy about reports. newer players/mods on the other hand consistently have high report counts and tend to get a lot of stuff done.
Indeed we have. I haven't been regularly active since like 2013 or maybe a brief stint in 2014 though, can't properly recall. And yet we still aren't friends DDD:
Isn't that what's already going on? There's a mix of old and new players on the team, the oldest few players being Laptop and Totori and then there's newer ones.
The answer is to keep a balanced moderator team of older players and newer players, or at least try too. That way you have connections to more of the community. Currently, imo anyway, there's not a bad mix of older players and newer ones on the team. Maybe we could use another one of the older members, but that's just my oldfag prejudice talking
