Right for doing the right thing a mod has been massed it arent the first time and i bed ya it wont be the last.
Why the hell do you guys move it into SGW?? This is the Forum If you can keep cross server wars apart why the hell cant you keep SGW forum apart of SGW ingame??
I c this as a sad proff the few people outthere cant take what we do as a good job because we mod them or do as the rules SET BY ADMIN of this game and forum.
Come on. I sincerly hope there comes a update that does hitting a mod for doing his job will mean you hurt your own account 5 times more.
No i ask you if you can band together against someone who takes action done in one server into another why cant the community band together when one player get offended for a right mod job against a mod??
I took this job to make this community a fun place and using my time to mod people for swearing, insult badly, racist remark and even close topics because it gets out of hand could get me massed why even do it?? Why not let this forum die and the game die instead because you people who take modding done here into the game for sure arent.

I don't think anyone gets mad when a mod does his job and enforces the rules when needed. But when threads are locked because the mods can't be bothered to moderate them is a pretty cheap way to go. If you don't want the community to have war threads then just take the whole forums offline.
Modding is fine, locking valid threads is not.
To Supersquish, the rest of the mods and the community

I try to help the community and people decide i cant be bothered... well maybe the community doesnt want me around anymore.

Locking is not a synonym of moderating.
supersquish wrote:well all i ever get is rubbish thrown at me and every time i try to help i just have more people annoyed at me... obviously the community doesnt value my assistance at all... im not leaving yet but im strongly considering it from the forums for good.
and geisha: fyi i have a post in the supermod section telling people im suffering from depression and to stop me doing anything stupid.
if you wanted it open you should just have pm'd me and said to just clean it up or something rather than mass me for it.
Oh come on, don't get silly now.
1. I did not mass you, I was only considering it but someone else was quicker
2. people were asking to have the thread reopened
3. you annoy people by doing a rubbish job, get massed for it and then start crying about suffering from depressions? If that is the case, I am truly sorry to hear that and I would recommend to seek professional help if it is really that serious. But how is the community supposed to know about your emotional condition? Oh and maybe you shouldn't make yourself a target on the forums then. I doubt it will help your depression.
Oh, and can we please get our war thread back? Thank you.
Trying to make the community shut up isn't really "helping the community"

if mods are playing the game then they deserve to get massed.
not because they are mods but because this is a war game, i get randomly massed all the time and it sucks balls.
tennis balls that is

i was modding it thank you very much.
infact i was the ONLY one who was more or less modding it.
its christmas and stuff and im short on time so im trying my hardest here with the time i have.
This community is rubbish. its full of spoilt brats (yes i warned myself for that) who think they can push the forum mods around as much as possible and gang up on them even when they try to help
no-one is perfect and mistakes happen but still that shows that people dont have the guts to ask a mod nicely because i am a reasonable mod who would listen to suggestions and reason not a mod who ignores everything.

It is a war game but if you play Q and take your qual into main you will get the whole Q players on you. Why because what happens in Q stays in Q.
Now the same should go for this what happens in SGW Forum STAYS in SGW forum and shouldnt be brought ingame.

Look i have been true your topic and tbh even modding it would mean days of work because some people went overhand and i do not c anyone try to inforce on thoese party to stop?? So basicly closing the topic and open a more clean one is a valid reason also SET as a rule by the admin.
Now Maybe instead you should have helped the mod in question with asking thoese people to stop it is many pages and i will admit i could have missed some saying it but for making you a new clean is ok i would have done the same.
Even in the TLE war thread they make sure so much they can it is clean and i would bed ya if it got out of hand they wouldnt mind a new and clean one instead.
We do this in our free time to help keeping this game and forum going for all and get no benefits anywhere and you take it ingame is not even one show of honour. I saw no message to me or any mod about getting it open again before the mass.

Although I disagreed with the reasons for locking the TO/DDE war thread (as I stated in my earlier post), we should have worked together within the forum to resolve whatever issues were involved.
My two cents.

First of all, your actions have consequences just like everybody else. If someone offended another, they are probably going to get massed. As most people have the same mentality as me, they wanna hurt the person in any way possible. No cross-server is stupid and nobody abides by it. There might be two accounts, but its the same person. People don't have beef with a perticular account, but with a person. If your a mod and offend someone who can mass you, he most probably will. That threat comes with the job, if you can't handle it, either quit modding or quit playing sgw and just mod. If you can handle it, power to you.
I suggest that you give better details on why you lock threads, and stop being such a fast trigger on the lock button. I too have been annoyed by you locking my thread prematurely. When you wanna lock or move a thread, and your uncertain on if its the right action, talk to the author, talk to another mod, TALK to the author. PM him, MSN him, do something, don't just low blow him with a lock or move.
Actions like that more than garantee you losing community respect, annoying the community, and getting massed. When I become ombudsman alot of things will change with how the mods act. In return they will get massed less and not be hated as much. You shall see...

You don't just lock a thread because a crybaby asks you too. Edit posts/warn people/3 day ban those who brake the rules/ask the author for permission. Mods are not GODS, they are simply law enforcers on the forums.

you can handle by yourselve cant you?
if you get one of those pm, you immediately obey what it says?

You can think for yourself and do what you should do.

Ero's I only lock thread that by Rules set by this admin should be locked. There are threads gven more days before locked. Now I do still think that taking what happens here ingame on a mod for doing his job is wrong.
I know people can do it but its not right taking actions against the players account ingame for insulting you well hey i would do that. But do show some respect towards a mod doing his or her job. We abide by rules we have to follow and if thoese rules get us massed well then the problem is either the player who broke the rule or the admin who set them not the mod for following what his job is.
But come on if you are so good mods then why not try our job instead before you complaine. I have to remove insults and have already been threathen to be massed for modding someone swearing and name calling which where uncalled for heck one day i might even get it?? Now that person broke the rule i had to mod him should i just let him keep going with his job at offending people so i wont get massed and c others start doing the same maybe even use racist remarks and start making it worse in fear i would get massed because someone cant handle that he/she got modded??
Ero's you know as well as me that if you make a topic uncalled for breaking the rules on this forum or swear you need to be modded or topic locked even we can make mistake i do also i would espect people to be man enough to talk to me first instead of making threaths because I do my job.
But no i will continue do this job also if i get massed for doing what is right. When i mod i have no sides even my own fellow mods i mod i cant be bias i arent allowed.
And for that i would have thought more people had enough honour to say well he didnt insult me he did a job as a mod not as a player and let it stay there but apparently someone just has to bring it ingame for a job.
Damn if this was RL how wouldnt the world look today??
