@j8cob

I'm starting to see trends in these threads.

Looking Back - 5 months have passed, what now?

So... what does that have to do with me, and why should I care?

If that happens, call it out when it happens. As far as I see, that hasn't happened in this thread, so at this point, it just looks like you're ranting. It doesn't really help anything.

The whole circle that these threads tend to take is rather tedious, as it tends not to result in anything.

@ArenaSnow

You shouldn't care. I simply apologized to you and explained my reactions. Carry on as you will.

If you were paying attention to the conversation, you would note that the cesspool was the politics channel, and nothing to do with your kneejerk reaction to call "help! He's calling me terrorist!"

Try again.

@ArenaSnow

I was paying attention, thank you. I have no need for your condescension when it wasn't exactly clarified in the first place. With that said, I do apologize for the confusion. I know that it is no excuse whatsoever, but I just learned that I am apparently wrestling with a fever (thanks college), so perhaps my attention isn't on point at the moment. My point still stands (maybe not directly towards you), however, that there are some parties that are quick to toss our arguments aside simply due to our affiliations and whatnot. It's tiresome when you want to improve something that you care about, but people try to silence you over and over again with comments like "you're the vocal minority", "you're a bunch of trolls", and whatever else.

If the idea behind your post was that "nobody else wants to do it, so I'm better than nothing" then I'm not sure that the concept of scraping off the bottom of the volunteer barrel for a cesspool (that you participate in)

@ArenaSnow

Hilarious how Odin and I can make thread after thread with civility, politeness, and solid arguments with evidence. Despite this, however, we're still somehow painted as the harbingers of doom while others sink as far as to say that we're "terrorists" or that we "participate in a cesspool".

Give me a break.

The point is, if I decry 'you people' it's because most of you, at least seem, like a very select and vocal minority on RPG who have, for the most part, all had your run ins individually with the administration of RPG, and I strongly suspect that your motivations are intrinsically linked with those experiences. In short, I'd like to see someone who has proven they can co-operate and work with moderators and engage in realistic and respectful dialogue with them be a spokesperson for the guild. Not you guys, to be honest.

@MelonHead

Do you mean like this?

Looking Back - 5 months have passed, what now?

The thing is Odin, you yourself state that you 'generally shit on moderation' you surround yourself with people who actively dislike the guild, or have been banned for misdemeanours in the past

@MelonHead

1.) Some of these bans and "misdemeanors" have been overturned due to some poor administrative decisions in the past (i.e: Jacob and Nyte). These threads have also condemned people that have actually broken Guild conduct (i.e: Wade) in the past, so I don't really know where you developed this presumption.

2.) Offering suggestions =/= hating the Guild. I've been on this website for six years and I'm only beginning to hate it due to the resistance of advancement, which admittedly, has improved in the past few months or at least on the Staff's end. Considering how much fellow users preach the apocalypse or try to paint dissenting opinion as "a threat", "drama whoring", and so on (citing these from the responses I got in my thread about a month ago), I'm not sure that the same can be said for them.

Looking Back - 5 months have passed, what now?

If I may offer that advice - you should look at GCS and see what didn't work. Use it as a case study to avoid making the same mistake. If there is an interest in that from your side/moderators side, there are a few people you could contact, namely me, Nytem4re, Midnight_Howl (Beth) or Cynder to get some information on that specifically (I suggest either Nyt or Beth since they're easy to reach and for the most part not biased at all).

@Odin

Can confirm that Dion is a bully this as both are fairly objective and active. If the Staff, however, does have any questions for me in regards to the unofficial server, then they can reach me on Discord and I'll be happy to respond between classes. I'll also state for accuracy purposes that both HeySeuss and Ruby were both moderators on the server at some point and may be able to offer helpful insight as well.

Looking Back - 5 months have passed, what now?

More chat moderators will be added soon(TM). I need to figure out how to do so, however, because user roles are currently handled by GuildBot in the Discord and I have no power over him, and then I need to make my selections. I have a free weekend ahead of me (at long last) that I plan on dedicating to the Guild.

@Hank

To sastify curiosity, how will new chat moderators be chosen?

so college starts for me on friday

@Dinh AaronMk

Been there, done that. Still not enough since I'm quite literally on my own.

Shitposting and insulting one another. I see that you are new.
