Ok, just like Lux said, we would make sure that you weren't banned out of revenge or anything silly like that, however, we really can't do anything to stop it if you don't work with us instead of against us. Right now, all your saying is 'mods' and/or 'people' are doing these things, but you're not giving any proof, nor are you narrowing anything down for us, so that we can find the culprits and prevent said actions again. If you had some screenshots of this as proof, or if you copied the messages even, that would be a great help. Even the names would help us investigate. You don't have to post them publicly for everyone to see, you can pm them to me and I promise I'll take care of the problem and you'll be safe.



Charlie, I'm afraid that might just turn the job into a popularity contest, much like the campaign for presidency in the United States. Don't get me wrong, I'm an American and proud of it, but there are some major issues with the way we pick our presidents. Moderatorship can't be determined on popularity, it has to be based on ability, which is the way Steet chooses now. It's the best way.

Gold Kitty, not all of us are like that. You can't judge all of us by how some of us act. And yes, I know you and Yupik don't get along, and I can see how you both act toward each other. Sometimes you're right, sometimes she's right, sometimes you're both varying degrees of right and/or wrong. However, picking at each other won't help anything, and I know she picks back at you.

But that's just one mod. You keep saying that you've seen other mods curse and speak about sexual topics, etc. Please, tell us who was doing this, when (if you can remember) and what they were saying. You won't be penalized.

No, I didn't know the whole time, I just recently found out because I went back and read old messages. But, Gold kitty, I didn't do anything because you were both bickering with each other equally. You both picked on each other to the same degree. Besides, Lux has already told you all to cut it out, so I figured that I didn't need to echo his words. If you want me to say then I'll say it, both of you need to quit picking at each other and if she says something mean to you then the best thing you can do is just ignore her instead of arguing back and starting a fight. Yeah, I know it's hard to ignore someone when they're being mean, but at least that way you aren't doing anything wrong and only the other person will be reprimanded, understand?

As far as what kind of mod am I, well, I don't leave that up to myself to say. Others say I'm pretty good, but I guess that's their opinion. At any rate, I've always tried to be fair and objective about everything. Personally I don't care if you say I'm not right for the job; maybe I am, maybe I'm not, but that's Steet's job to decide. I'm primarily the mod for only the roleplaying forums, but I do frequent the shout boxes to help there. I don't appreciate you attacking my integrity just because I didn't warn either of you, especially since this is pretty much the only time you've talked to me. Why don't you calm down and learn a little more about me before rushing to conclusions? If you can do that, I promise I'll do exactly the same.

As to why you should post here, it would be proof to everyone that you do indeed have proof of wrong doing by those moderators. You could show everyone when, where, and what happened and revealing it publicly would be safer for you, in my opinion at least. However, if you still don't want to say in front of everyone else because you fear unjust banning (which I will reiterate will not happen under my watch) then you can simply pm the information to me.

I'm not trying to insult you or anything else, I'm just trying to get to the bottom of everything in a calm, rational way and I'm also trying to remain objective and not let my own opinions or emotions cloud my judgement. Please just make things a little easier on me and let me know what you know, that way I can do something?

I am going to say this once and for all.

Please do not post about mods apparently breaking the rules unless you actually have some sort of solid proof. If the mods are so bad for breaking rules, one who witnesses a rule breaker but doesn't report it is just as bad as the offender. It's tiring to pop into a thread complaining about moderators breaking rules that have no real evidence of such occurrences, and pretty irritating when the poster is questioned about it and either responds hostilely or vaguely.
