As far as I am aware, there are no prostitutes on the mod team. Could be mistaken.
Don't be forgetting me now.
These are the forums for the GateWa.rs family of text-based space-centred PBBGs

Not all spam requires a warning, imo. Every thread tends to go off on a tangent every so often, especially the longer threads, and sometimes a mod needs to post a message to get things back on track. The only time an off-topic post should be modded, imo, should be if the poster ignores a verbal within the thread or after being PMd.

See? Was that so hard?
Specific events and even mods help us to figure out what the problem seems to be. Blanket statements like "mods abuse their power" do nothing to actually help the forum. If you want something to change, you have to be specific about the problem(s).
It's like having a broken car and saying, "It's broke. Fix it," and not giving any details as to what is wrong with it. A mechanic might be able to figure it out eventually, but it could take a very long time. Tell the Forum Staff what's wrong, with details, and we/they can try to fix it.

That made sense. If we want serious feedback, we need to respond to this kind of thing seriously.Jedi~Tank wrote:I think you **Filtered** need to eliminate those pm's you send to people..with the instructions on where to post if there is an issue with a mod..and the warnings that you "proudly" mail out expressing what will happen if the instructions are not followed...or take these sections above all others serious and keep them CLEAN OF THE **Filtered** SPAM and act like you deserve the respect you whine about not getting.

Maybe, maybe not..still all too often this is treated like a joke and thus mods are treated like fools or disrespected. The guy has an issue, pursue resolution instead of fueling the current fervrent disdain. Just this past week I was pm'd and warned and posts deleted for what was deemed spam..BUT...hundreds of posts of WORSE spam or REAL spam remained thus my pm's and ugly replies were just and after seeing the conduct in this thread even more so.
