To The Community: Why Are We Mods?

[Jack]

I'm going to answer a question with a question:
Why do people remain mods after they quit the game?

I'm a reformer and I believe that mods who no longer play the game actively lack a certain finesse that comes from up-to-date in-game interaction. I know this will offend people who fit this category, but there is no excuse for quitting a game while trying to hold onto power over its forums.

Play the game and read the forums, or just play the game. No if's, and's or but's.

If you had nothing but game playing mods people would whine and moan about why mods should not be allowed to play the game. Then if you had the reverse, you'd have complaints like the above. A good mod does not have to play the game, but a good mod can play if they want. Whether or not a person plays the game will not impact whether or not they are good mod.

Fair enough, but I would just delete the misc and spam sections if I had the power anyway.

you would kill the one "good" part of the community left... at least, imo.

I concur.

The offtopic discussion has been splittled.

Just a word of thanks for all those admins and mods that freely give of their own time to keep these forums in check.

*huggles you all*

Noobly doesn't freely give his time.... he's forced to do it.

Oh noes, my secret is founded out.

I give my free time, although, sooner or later I will start my quest for global domination.

Trust me, the only reason anyone stays a mod is masochism. I was a mod too once upon a time, so trust me--their a bunch of masochists!

Seriously, the mod forums are even decorated like a dungeon (it was Robes idea!).

You silly, how come it's like 2 years ago since we talked on MSN?

[Zekk]

Because it's probably been two years since I've been on that msn, whichever one you have, whoever you are.

*has been completely and utterly gone for over a year now, and thus barely recognizes the place*

I thinks the mods are mods because they enjoy the company of their coworkers, the work that they do, and the people they moderate.

[Empy]

because they enjoy the company of their coworkers

Oh I didn't think of that one! So true though...

[Phlamingoe]

For the lulz.







And the spam

The only thing we talk about is women, Sexy Stripper Ninja chicks, nooberts neko obsession, bucks secret plans, Semper, random forum noob, Jack, how to capture squirrels with enhanced AI, Zerglings, Eros, the Ultralisk and umm..this 'Thing'.

F'xed

Fix'd.


No adding random things we don't really talk about.

[MEZZANINE]

Hmmm, mixture I'd say, some for power, some for love of the game. I even applied for a Mod position once ( for the later reason ) so guess I'm as nuts as the rest of them

[Tyber Zann]

I think you like the sense of 'power' and being a mod makes you feel important or different from the rest of the community.

[Phlamingoe]

I think everyone is very cynical

You as in me or you as in general?
