I asked a simple question, out of curiosity, but most of the answers were based on my job on the forums, which had nothing to do with the question.

What did I expect? Exactly what happened.
I knew that some would use this thread as an "I hate Moonie because she is a bad mod", and I also knew who would do it. I wasn't wrong.
But, I did get good input from a few people, so I'm happy.

Of course you "knew". Yet you still made the thread... You know 4 out of 5 dentist don't pick you Moonie. By the way I don't think you are a bad mod. Your modding has never really effected me at all. I just don't like you and your attitude towards others. Why can't you be more like Okiesmokie?

Yes, because I knew there were members who could be mature enough to answer my question.

I don't try to be someone I'm not.

Who are those members?

I asked the guy I work who is 37 and told him about this situation and he told me that its pretty sad that you are playing this game with a bunch of teenagers. He asked if you use this game as an ego boost since you can control anyone in RL? He said its like himself playing against his kids in basketball and useing his size and age to his advantage. His kids are 8.


P.S. Ahah he has been saying "Mom I am hungry!" "SHUT UP! I am playing Graal and deleting peoples post!". lol

So everybody who moderates a forum have to be a young person? Or is it just because graal is a game, and a game forum MUST have moderators younger than 20 or 30?

Wikipedia says:

"A forum moderator is someone granted special powers to enforce the rules of an Internet forum
Almost all moderators on all forums can move discussions to different sections of the forum, "close" or "lock" discussions to prevent users from continuing to discuss them, edit the content of individual postings, answer question ..."

Ask your fellow why he is playing basketball! Adults shouldn't play games or is he emotionally disturbed?

I hate that thinking in black and white. Let the people the freedom to do what they like to do, as long as they dont break the rules of social life, which includes rules of a forum.

I don't think Sam realizes the difference between games and video games.

I love how moonie didn't shoot down this one with the usual 'It's not about the forums.'

I also love the fact that if this thread was created by anyone else, and these comments were given, it would've been closed a long time ago.

No. I feel no need to boost my ego, nor do I feel the need to control anyone either on the game or in real life.
I also don't feel the need to ask someone else in real life about something I am asking input for from actual players on the game.

That would be pretty sad if I were to do that, but I don't.
That's probably why my family doesn't mind what I do in my recreational time.

You are using this thread to attack me and my personal life, which you know nothing about. Not that it upsets me, really.
I know how my life is, my family knows, and we are all very cool with it
You can keep pretending all you want, that you know all about me personally if it makes you feel better.

See, I would rather not pretend that I know a person, and why they do things, that is why I made this thread, to try to find out why age makes such a difference on Graal. I may have to scroll through the "I hate Moonie because...." posts, but I am still getting the input I asked for here and there.

It seems to me like he thinks that parents either should have no leisure time at all without their kids, or just not play games if you are a parent, because if they do, they surely neglect their children. That is what I get out of his posts.
Or maybe he thinks that parents should not play games that other children play, which is sad.
I like to play video games with kids, is that horrible? I like to play childrens board games with kids, is that horrible?
When my kids were playing baseball, I liked to play with them (all the kids), is that horrible? Or is it just online games? If so, what is the difference?
