Then what relevance does your statement about Stefan have?

I said he made Graal.

I think it's good that there's a parent that moderates forums, they know what's good for their children to read, or not.. and are mostly serious people that know what's thread-related or stays inside the rules.

Also, some kids maybe think at "ewwy" things when they hear parents or just adults are playing (age 30+ or so).. but as long as they have fun playing, and do good things to Graal (eg. be nice to players, and run cool servers), I don't see any weird things..

I actually have a good friend on Graal Kingdoms, that is age 40 (or 41, w/e).. and we always have fun, while I'm just 16. It's good to talk to such persons with problems or things, they always understand you

An overprotective parent does not make a good mod.

Nayoko? Their whole family plays (or used to, they all seem to have quit except Misty)

Not just an overprotective parent.. Darlene is always polite to everyone, and she follows the rules, and some how protects us from evil posters, yes.

And no, not Nayoko

You're going against the norm, and somehow it's bad.
I think it's honorable.

And in the process protects us from posters who make a valid point and are not posting anything against the rules.

For all the times Moonie and I have clashed, I probably should dislike her by now, but that's not the case because at least I know that she usually handles stuff appropriately. Save for maybe Dal Yeoshin.

Obviously it's impossible for us to get examples from when you first started playing seeing as we didn't know you back then.

Haha. I was going to say something about that, but thought otherwise.

Impossible for Googi to get examples?! Impossible!

If you only want to go back as far as the beginning of the forums, there are lots of examples. Even without staff powers, Moon Goddess still consistantly acted like she had infallible moral superiority.

Ugh, some of you are making this about the forums, when it is not.
I am speaking of how older adults are treated IN GAME.

It's been said time and time again. People do not just treat you the way they do because you're older. Read the posts next time.

That's odd. I guess all those people are liars then, interesting.
There were specific refrences to my age, from the first time I stepped pixels on Classic, up to present day.
I am sure there are other reasons why some dislike me, but that is not what I am talking about in this thread.

By you moderating the forums and acting sort of like a mother, if you will, you're the exact thing they're running from.

You and younger kids both take a break from reality by playing Graal, however, you interfere with some of the younger player's escape.

Yeah, I'ma have to go with Curt on this one.
