I don't recall the people who recieved these PM's reporting this to me.

They don't have faith you can handle this problem. They don't believe Unixmad or Stefan will handle the issue when they have more important game-related things to take care of.
We believe something like a Forum Manager, or what Tyhm pointed out as a possible better solution to dealing with these problems.

I usually hear "Unixmad" brought up for a excuse for the moderators reactions. Personally I don't think the Mods would act any different if Unixmad didn't enforce these "Laws". If they did, wouldn't they address the problem that his community constantly brings up to him illegal or not.

That is the issue. Users being silenced along with their complaints in the support tickets.

I have access to the infractions section here. I have yet to see an unwarranted infraction. I've seen a few that I didn't agree with but that is because there are 1-2 rules I deem unnecessary. Other than that it isn't happened, yet. I doubt it will, but then again I lack precognition.

Could you look at my infraction that was a "Personal Attack on Someone" in regards to the malinko thread.

I think that was unwarranted because I didnt say anything that was a personal attack.

But im over it, its the only one ive ever gotten, so im not cryin still.

You can't make everyone happy.
But how about aiming for the majority?

Problem is about that is you wouldn't know the true situation as it is of each and every case.

After reading through numberous posts I think the way Unixmad is blamed for all of this is what causes such stupid problems like "Anti-Unixmad". Unixmad is constantly being used as a scapegoat reason for problems on the forums to act as though some people are being forced by him to carry out his wishes. If you're going to do something, for god sake take responsibility for your own actions.

No wonder people turn Anti-Graal with attitudes like this.

I am already forum admin, but I still have to get most things approved by Unixmad. I can't just go changing things out of respect for his forums.

But does he? Yeah, no, probably not. Probably too busy counting his money.

Do you bother to ever address to him that things might need to be changed? If we cant speak to unixmad personally that you must be there as a representatives on the player. But you kinda just sit there as a mod..who mods because Unixmad says so...even though the true motive of a mod is suppose to be to moderate the forums for the player.

Darlene only forwards tickets to unixmad if you're "harrassing her" or if she wants to get you threatened, I have proof.

I disagree - while I believe you're as much the Forum Admin as anyone, if you were truly the Administrator of the Forum, it would be your domain, your fief to rule as you see fit. Since you can't, you aren't, and that's wrong. I've been there, I know.
The way it is, you have to enforce rules whether you agree with them or not, and not even you are allowed to grant exceptions to these rules. You should either be granted the power to act in Unixmad's absence or we should get someone who can.

I concur. Moonie's no more than a mod with a red bolded name as it stands.

killerogue · #**149** 01-25-2007, 03:42 AM

It's not like Moonie's a terrible mod it's more so like Infernix said she just kind of sits there and mods because unix says so and he should give her full reign over the forums then it would be more orderly and less confusion.

*shrugs* I work for Unixmad, as does everyone else. I guess Unixmad is the only true forum admin.
