Let me speak my mind for a moment. Recently, I have noticed a major increase of personal bashing in various topics, if not all of them. We get along once in awhile, but as time goes on in topics, we just focus on insulting the crap out of others. Well... some people do anyway. And there is an increase of posts being reported, that that's irritating at the most of times. I hate warning people, but if I hear another post, even a line of posts from various people that intentionally are made to put people down or insult people's intelligence, then I will start warning.

Let me just give an example... every time Capsa makes a topic, a few people just feel free to say 'Screw you' and go off on that note. I don't give a crap who you hate... keep the personal attacks to yourselfs, people. And I don't care how radical an opinion is, just give your disagreement and get over it. I normally wouldn't care about this crap, but frankly its part of my job to keep the peace around here, so get in line next time you feel obligated to go against the rule against bashing. And on another note, it's hard to represent a site that has a mass of members who have guts so stubborn, they turn insulting. Probably one of the reasons why half the people who join, leave as soon as they come.

And if I, or someone else who takes up this warns you out of the blue, then you can just give your argument to them or make a topic to get it removed. We might take your post the wrong way in some cases.

Have you noticed that Revora has been a lot more active over the past few weeks? And a lot more... interesting?

[Puppeteer]

On a partially unrelated note, why are you a global moderator? Your rank doesn't qualify to receive that power, and from what I've seen you're not moderator material.
I'm sick of this fighting too.

I'm one too. All Department Staff have GM powers. We aren't assigned to be moderators, but we have power to stop things if necessary.

Aye, aye. I'm tired (as I'm sure everyone is) of various threads being hijacked and turned into battlegrounds for flame wars.

[Romanul]

Um,what flamewars?I didn't see any flamewar at all lately.

OK, segway's discussion stuff.Right, that was something, but is it really that big problem?

[Mathijs]

You're a goddamn hypocrite, Pasidon. Most of your posts are either insinuated trolling or plain making fun of Segway. I'm not going to take you seriously. The only increase in ''flaming'' was me making fun of Hostile's moronic ''comeback'' a few days ago. Got any more? Because I can't really think of any.

Amusing how it roughly correlates with my return...

I raise objections to this - you don't need the moderating powers. You're Public Relations, not Public Enforcement.
What benefit does it have to recruiting? What benefit does it have to advertising outside Revora?
Why is Pasidon Head PR? Is that internally, or externally? - I'm sure not pleased at either.

I think quite a few people have had enough of the shit to be honest... and are letting everyone know.
You included Ash!

Department staff has them for practical reasons, but they're not responsible for moderating. This is a task of the community department, and specifically the global moderators.
So, department staff can use their moderating powers, but if a real moderator disagrees, what they say goes.

Puppeteer. You are actually one of the few staff I respect and have never had any trouble or problem with. You've never managed to annoy me or piss me off, and on pretty much all occasions I agree with what you say.

And this is no exception. I am curious as to how this came about.
Some of the more junior staff need to stop being so jumped up and get themselves out their own arse. Pasidon should be monitoring that. Or at least the GM should have that authority, not staff in charge of fucking RPG's

As I mentioned before (thanks for the better definition, 2play. ) We don't have the responsibilty, but we have the powers to use just in case.

Why do I get a (typo'd) mention here?

[Beowulf]

Because any time you're around, there's sure to be insults flung around. Not like Pasidon's Mister Fucking Innocent either though. He's a big hypocrite douche for even starting this stupid thread.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Although it's mostly the higher ups dealing out this shit.
We're talking NLs,undeads and other well known members.
It's not exactly a good image to be portraying.
I get that people have disagreements but let's at least keep it civil.
If Hostile wants to bitch about something or Matias wants to have a go at him for it they should start their own topic instead of Highjacking other topics.

Truthfully I think some of the newer,younger staff members are doing an ok job as so far they aren't caught up in the "politics" of Revora.

Oh and shouldn't this go into feedback?

[Hostile]

That thread would have two posts. Screw you and screw you too. Not much of a fun thread.

Someone deleted my signature again.

[some_weirdGuy]

I'm trying to work out if beo is proving pasidon's point on purpose, or if he just doesn't even realise he's doing it...

[Florisz]
