Moderation

:love: Love!

That line you hear all the time about "wanting to help" seems awfully farcical to me. Everyone wants the power, because we're all desperate, mostly, for respect. I don't try to fool people with oft repeated defences: I know why I liked being supermoderator. It helped me, it made me feel important, and it gave me options that were completely under my own discretion.
But, it's easy to not realize how aspirations to these goals causes unhappiness for everyone else. When you're fighting for respect, do you suppose others are happily cheering you on? Of course not. Everything that is a symbol of power is just another token making you better than them. And, most winners of the token aggravate the situation by flaunting their options, to drive more respect home.

But, if everyone does it, it must be accepted as natural, right? Ambition takes people places, and the most qualified usually do get where they belong, so I guess it should be tolerated. But I've seen firsthand that Alkaren does a poor job of considering others' feelings and makes a slim show of humility in his frequently requesting powers. But, what will be will be.

Playerworlds -
Another obvious one, no one moderates it. Probably Crono or Psyker should moderate this one, maybe both.
Right again


Administrator -
Maybe Alkaren should be an admin since he knows so much about PHP, and is on the forums regularily, not to mention intelligent?
*worship*

If Crono and I moderate the Playerworld forums, there would be no trace of idiocy found.

Kamuii or Alkaren for supermod. Maybe they can have a brawl in the street for it or something?

anyone remember who the first one to register an account was? if so, you will understand what i mean when I say this is a terrible idea.

give up? the answer is...ICEPICK!

Hey, FatherDante IS right. I don't want to be a moderator because I don't want to be respected and sucked up to.

[Faheria_GP2]

okay, I want to be mod of scripting forum not for respect, and not for powers, I just want to get rid of all the annoying threads reading "GIV0R ME DRASINE SCRIPT OR DIE LELELELELEL!@"

Bugs -
None of the people on there look like they are every moderating it, or helping out that is. We don't even have a Bugs Administrator anymore.
Get a bugs admin.

That's because the person who had moderator status for that forum was banned because of the infamous fake credit cards, and because of the fact that his account no longer exists, he can't access the forums or anything graal-related.

Crono,
Brad(0629) was the bugs admin...

[Providence_Admin3]

Makoz was the bugs admin.

[Tyhm]

...but Makoz is no longer bugs admin...

We need a bugs admin. Technically Bloodysin hasn't been fired yet, but to my knowledge nor has he put in so much of a day's work since he found out bugs admins just research, forward and collate reports. He was hoping it'd be something cool, like MY job: upload any level with "bug fixes", make "staff tools". Not bloody likely, not in his lifetime, not after the RC Flood incident.

I don't wanna mod or admin any more boards, I can hardly keep up with the ones I got. Hopefully we'll get some sorta lifetime account upgrade dealie so we can get mods that last. Not like the average player stays around the full year anyway, you could charge twice as much for the same service...^_~

[IceHawk]

If I hadn't become so goddamned dissatisfied with how things were being run, I would probably still be AA.

Dante should be admin again, he was cool. He realizes his own frailties, a talent sorely lacking in the modern world.

In other news - if I may say a word on the subject of Credit Card Fraud. Believe it or not, there are more kinds of Credit Card Fraud than the black-hat card/number theft and fake number generation types. There's also going over the card's limit, cancelling the account prior to transfer, and the infamous refusing charges. All these variations are reduced to one single bit of information - whether or not the money gets to Graal. If the money makes it to Graal's account, everything's peachy. If for ANY reason - the card was fake to your mom didn't understand the charge and called the Fraud line to the CC account was closed too early - the money does NOT get to Graal (or was taken back from Graal), it's Credit Card Fraud and the account is cancelled.

Try and keep that in mind. More than a few people have been whining bitterly that Unixmad accuses everyone of stealing numbers, when all that really happened was your bank didn't pay his bank on time - and half the time it's because of a foul up on your bank's end.

I love that quote...


Brad was bugs admin, but got fired. We don't have a bugs admin right now..

[Slaktmaster]

Hmm, yes. Dante would make a perfect admin.
