Pfft. Whippersnapper. Why, I remember the time when you could actually see Igiss on the server on a regular basis, and everybody and their dog was ferrying Passengers and Cobalt back and forth from FP11. We had to pedal our bicycles to keep the server running too, even when we weren't online. And Gas cost less than $20 a tank for a midsize sedan. And people would know when to quit rambling.
I tell ya, you boys and girls are spoiled.
Excuse me while I load up my 4.80 luxury liner with its bank of battleship turrets...
Oh, and good luck to the new guys, goodness knows we need all the help we can get...
' Wrote:Because moderators don't deal with forum rules?
We deal with the enforcement of rules. We are often partially involved in discussions regarding them, but we don't have a vote/voice in the rules that get added/removed.
The reasons we got new moderators, was because we had 3 active moderators, Zelot, Marburg, and myself, trying to moderate the entire forums. We had no hope of effectively moderating a forum that gets over a thousand posts daily. There were plenty of complaints concerning consistency. These complaints were valid, and the inconsistency was caused by the fact that our sparse number of moderators weren't enough to catch everything that was going on. Not even half. Several admins had to be involved in forum moderation/rule enforcement to cover the lack, and that isn't their job. Now that we have 7 active moderators, we can effectively cover the whole forums.
Pretty much it comes down to the fact that the few moderators we had were overworked, overstressed, and insufficient to get the job done fully. This step was taken to fix those problems, and so far has worked very well.
yesterday one of the mods gone berserking through numerous parts of the forums.
And your reaction to this is replenishment?
I am not angry but very disappointed in you, cannon.
