Ensign Cthulhu Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I once did moderating for a forum whose owner referred to us as "Apostolic wreakers of havoc". Fortunately it never got as serious as the name made it sound! Good luck to the new Mods. You are gonna need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a mod for Many games , My own BF servers and a few dating apps ( you would be shocked what I saw ) I was being a bit sarcastic because of my once in a while saltiness on the WG forum but if you guys need help I can Stow it and help in any way I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SureBridge Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 @I_cant_Swim_ - As previously discussed, happy to do moderation. It's probably worth a discussion, since the "official" site had forum mods moderating across forums, which worked well in terms of load balancing (we would often hit 1,000 posts a day when it was busy) Also happy to have @Col_NASTY on board. Yup, you occasionally got salty, but you were also one of the folks where we could discuss *why* warnings happened, and generally ended up understanding each other's point of view. Thank you for being "agreeably disagreeable" IMO it's important to let folks have enough latitude to disagree (politely) - it's how I have learned a lot about this game that we all seem to enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
