You don't have to know a thing about any game to moderate a public forum for BAD BEHAVIOR.
Well, you kind of need to be active in the game and IRC to get a decent idea of the communitys' "groups" and where they stand.
I really don't agree...
Knowing "the communitys' "groups" and where they stand." has no bearing on one's ability to be able to see troublemakers who come on this forum or any forum insulting others and starting flamefests.
In fact it is MUCH better to have a person who doesn't know "the communitys' "groups" and where they stand." because he/she is more able to make non biased decisions. Think of a judge in a courtroom.
Seriously, this doesn't have to be made into something so complicated. Treat people with respect as you're supposed to in all aspects of life and you have nothing to worry about.
I've been guilty of allowing my hot head to detour me from that practice on occasion and have been reprimanded by jitspoe on this forum and Supermercado on the other. I am most always defending myself when I get myself into trouble and certainly don't purposely attack and insult others for self gratification.
I've been in this community shortly after it began, what, 8 years ago?? Seems longer but I have no problem whatsoever with jitspoe, Knack or Supermercado putting me in check if I'm truly out of line... I might complain about it a bit but I'll take my punishment.
- eiii beat me too it LOL GG I actually gave you a + on that
