What was the point in the topic that caused so much drama if you're not going to take opinions seriously?

I don't get why you don't think that we'd take them seriously? A lot happens that members don't see, to ensure that the forum continues to run smoothly and without any problems. Don't assume shit.

Atemu just happens to be one of the best moderators that we have, and personal problems with a few members isn't changing that. We stick by our decision.

That is understood, but that being said, what was the point of the topic in the first place?  It seems more like "We asked for fun, you answered, and we pretended to listen". 

I even said myself people can't be taken seriously there, and all that topic has done in my eyes is stir up a greater animosity between members and staff members.
 
Is it really so wrong to want to canvas opinion?

The vote I think was unnecessary, but the comments were pretty solid (outside bickering). And we all know YOU don't like Atemu, Holloway, but from what we've heard from multiple others, she's doing fine.

Not to mention, it was a good chance to really focus on a few problems that we can try to solve. So it wasn't for nothing, it did serve a very important purpose, which may not be instantly noticeable, but will in time.

I mean, did anyone honestly expect we were going to rip the site from TREG, Des, and Atemu, just because they got a high vote? No, of course not. But it let them know that they have a few things to clean up in the way they do things, and that's important.

I don't think it made a rift at all, but I suppose I'm looking on from the outside?

Perhaps not generally, but the people who constantly complain about specific moderators I can see getting even more angry because of their promotion.  I suppose you're right, though.  If they don't like it, they can always leave.  (But then they don't always leave and end up spewing baw all over the forum)
 
Yeah ... Unfortunately, the people who don't like Atemu are usually the baw spewers.

"Oh noes! My ridiculous topic about 'hay ppl luk at my gam i dont have nuthin yet but check back sun' was closed! I'm so sad baawwww Imma' leaf"

Yeah, no love lost there.

--and I SAID USUALLY, don't start baw'ing on me now, all you people out in interweb land. >_<
 
Seriously, people. There'll always be a staff member you dislike/hate, but You'll have to learn to live with them. Atemu has her own style of Moderatin' just like Venetia's, seducing distractions, Des', quips and knockoffs, Teloch's, quick wit and down-to-earth-ness, and Sixty's wisdom. You love some and you hate some, but this is a game making forum, so lets get back to making games.

@All Support: Don't you feel belittled now that your color is pink? How can you ever array yourselves as men now?
 
Brew: "Real men sew." (I was fixing a tent)
Scott: "And wear pink." (daughter's boyfriend. Who had a pink shirt on at the time.)

Congrats on the promotions.
One thing that stuck out very quickly is the relationship between the new Globals.
Since they all communicate, there's a chance that we'll see more consistency in the moderating.
I think that will help with the 'professionalism' issue. No need to change personalities or self-censorship.
Moderating should be mostly 'objective' anyways.

"That's all I have to say about that."

Clizzz, I wanna hear some Cello!  :scruff:

Be Well

Well it sucks for them, doesn't it. Members who hold grudges with moderators aren't too high on the the MEMBERS TO PLEASE priority list.

I think if people are so unhappy, they should have made better complaints.  Most of what everyone said was pretty, "yeah, so?"

But, anyway.  Congratulations, new mods! And congratulations of the old mods getting promoted, I'm sure you'll keep doing your lovely job.
 
It is behind us, which is why we don't cater to members who hold grudges, and Atemu was promoted because she is a good moderator despite a few members who have personal issues with her. I don't think I can get much clearer than that.

So, excuse me for asking, what has actually happened as a result of that topic?

You might not be able to read, apparently, since I thought it was pretty clear that we just got three moderators and three promotions to pick up the slack on a number of inactive mods that were discussed in the topic.

But hey, that might just be me. It's probably all in my head.

Must be, because you never actually said that. I was just asking, fucking calm down.
