Experienced Moderators Needed
Can we have some experienced moderators please.
I would suggest moderators should have:
- been playing the game for over 1 year min
- extensive knowledge and experience of the game mechanics
- have significant history of posting to the forum
- are well connected and known within the game and respected within the community
We seem to have picked up 2 new moderators recently. You have kindly added a mechanism which tells us how experienced they are by adding the unique user ID to the forums (the ID is sequential). Both moderators are 1.1m+ which clearly marks them out as complete noobs. Nice people I am sure, who through no fault of their own meet no sensible criteria.
The last point is extremely important. For there to be any legitimacy for people to be given powers above and beyond the rest of us and for us to quietly accept that, there is a need for us to respect their authority.
This is extremely important when one considers that the forum mods don't just moderate the forums but are given unique access to inside information and the ability to directly voice coms with Plarium staff. They could be a huge positive force in improving the game.... if they understood it at all.
Can we please end the appointment of random new players who don't know anything about the game, have no feel for the tone of the forums and state of the developer/player relationship and who haven't been around long enough to have contributed anything to have gained any respect from anyone.
It doesn't do anyone any good.
