    I doubt anybody will take my seriously on my other account so here goes this account.
    I've been on the forums since well what, the summer of 2009.
    I've seen moderators come and go during the same time.

    However I do agree, we need moderators people know.

    Its disgusting sometimes how PWE thinks they can just give us these people to us like this.

    No offense to the new moderators of course.

    But before you make claims you have been here for a while,
    I think its best to prove that you have been.

    For one as example, every here knows Red.
    Why?

    She's a complete active member of the forums.

    The new moderators are not known by well...
    Almost the whole majority of posters.

    They will be flamed (already happening), trolled (same thing), etc.
    But we have to give them a chance before we say they fail.
    Its like food.
    It looks disgusting so you don't give it a chance.
    But the people who do, it tastes like the best thing in the world.

    My two cents on this

    I honestly appreciate your opinion. That said I do wish that you guys give me and my fellow Mods a chance - sure, you feel like you've been let down and betrayed before, but we are new here and eager to change things around, allow us to. This isn't a blank statement. I wouldn't have taken the task otherwise.

    We're not here to ruin the community but to add to and improve it. Please give us the time and be patient with us, I know what I ask isn't easy for any of you.

    Shelly, this post of yours? I appreciate it.

    It also seems to indicate you do not know these forums.

    Look at the people you are talking to. Look at the community. They are a community recently slandered by their own GMs of "nit picking" when they asked for something to be clarified and they are community accused of being "most likely to break the rules" if they asked for clarification.

    You are talking to a community who has been outright slandered, insulted and let down by the moderators and GMs they do know.

    And you are asking us to trust new, faceless moderators to do a better job.

    Keep in mind who you're talking to and what they've had to sit through and deal with from GMs and previous moderators before you tell us to have any form of patience with you and keep in mind everything that's gone before when you ask us to give you a chance.

    This community is not willing to give many chances.

    They have done so before, and were met with nothing but disappointment on all accounts. Better to not give them chances and have nothing further ruined, then to put trust in them again.

    Hi Shelly. I've lurked the FW forums for a while now and you seem like a pretty cool cat. I look forward to some fair moderation for a change on these forums and I hope you are the one to bring it to us. b:cute

    Edit: I wasn't going to say anything, but I thought Grim's name seemed familiar in a negative way. But I am far from the person that should deny someone a second chance, so all I can say is good luck and I hope you do well.

    I never said you were here to ruin the community.

    However, you have to understand no one knows these ppl but one and IF I look up all his old posts...ijs

    Everything being said has been said before. The community WILL be watching you. But know this, the mod system tends to take ppl to the forums (other games) that they know better. Kon really was the only semi-fulltime mod we had here in this Game. Even then many questioned it but people KNEW him, but I alone also spent countless hours talking to him and giving him threads and the like that were heading for trouble, necro's etc.

    Here we do not care about JD/FW/etc but those forums are paid much more attention too. EACH forum should have their own set of specific mod's...we can only wish for that. But I know that the games each mod plays = those forums will be focused on more.

    We help each other but he had an advatage we knew him and where he stood. You no one knows anything about as with another. And tbh one of the new mod's (6x BM spammer) is beyond shocking and in seeing old posts...ijs

    We will all see and judge on what we see. It is on you all now, we are a tough crowd and you must earn our trust. MORE SO on a forum that has been on the verge for months...


    PS --> pls all this thread is NOT about me, it is about the new mods.

    Aw Frankie, you're spoiling all my fun.

    Besides, what I say is true, is it not? Moderators here earn their place by trial of fire. Konari failed, and disappeared. Aryanna battled hard but eventually parted ways with us. I haven't seen sight or sound of another moderator (excluding the Wiki mod) for months.

    Do I have to lie if I have to play nicely?


    You know, grandmothers often say "if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all."

    Is it really so hard to wish them luck without throwing in the idea that I "couldn't be bothered to find anybody better suited for the job"?

    They are volunteering to help take care of a notoriously volatile forum, and for this reason I think they should be recognized for their courage.

    I've been in direct contact with them for some time now, and I can assure you that they are good people, so please show them some decency.

    There's a sucker born every minute. Apparently 3 this time.

    Grats on your forum promotions... I guess. I can understand and respect volunteering to help the SPCA or a soup kitchen, but I won't disrespect you just for volunteering to help here, since this is a place I do like to have fun.

    The only one truly important things about a moderator? They have to be able to enforce rules fairly and consistently over time, monitor the forums well and know when to stay out of something and when to jump in. New moderators are likely to start off very inconsistently and tend to try too hard trying to figure out how they fit in. Proceed with caution, you're always going to have to walk on eggshells here.

    Enjoy... all of us. b:chuckle

    You know why that is. b:kiss

    But I do hope this is for the better. Not all change is good (i.e. every single recent "update" to PWI) however I have a feeling that at least one of the three mentioned will do well.

    Tell me this, Frankie.

    When I state the honest truth - and I haven't been the only person to do so in this thread - I am openly told by you not to do so. Is it simply because it's easier to target somebody you know has or has had disputes with more forum goers in the past then the other people saying the same damn thing?

    Is it so hard for you to admit that this community has a right to know who is moderating it?

    No, Frankie. I've shut up before when I was actually being mean. I've shut up before when I was in the wrong.

    But I will not be told to sit down and shut up when I voice the concerns of multiple people, nor will I be treated like I am the only person saying such things.

    I will not stop saying the truth because it suits your convenience.

    This forum does not know these moderators aside from one person, and that one person was a better spammer then a better helper. I will not have you tell me to put faith in two faceless moderators I do not know and one person who spams, when I cannot even put my faith in you to the same extent.

    That's true franky. but if the moderators on a forum isnt respected by any1, laughed at whatever. then they can be as classified and good as possible, without it will matter.

    FINALLY A GIRL MODERATOR.

    Seriously, theres been too many guy moderators and no girls.
    I used to think it was so unfair since all the moderators were guys.
    But finally, a member of my own gender!

    b:cute


    Since you have joined there were 2 female mods and 2 male mods, if you really want to consider Konari a mod.

    In the end, they basically chose 3 people who have no idea what PWI is about . . . which works cause the GMs prove every time they post that they don't either.

    Or apparently 2 people who have no idea about PWI and that chick who says she plays PW yet I've never heard of her.
