I still fail to see why people keep coming back to the Summit if they hate the moderation so much. There already exists another channel. There already exists the opportunity to make your own. Attempts have been made before to make their own. CCP stepped down from the fucking heavens and MADE A CLONE OF THE SUMMIT AND OOC just for you. Just for all of you, who don't like the way we moderate.
You don't want to go anywhere else, for whatever reason. You want to sit your pretty butts down right where you are, point fingers, and complain about us. You demand professional moderation, from amateurs, from volunteers spending our game time to moderate a bunch of roleplayers. I signed up for this job because I wanted to help you all. I wanted to be something better for the community. I saw all the older threads just like this, and said I could do better. I looked at the mod team, and it's true... I thought I could do better than all of them.
Maybe I'm not cut out to be a moderator. God knows I've tried to be respectful to most of you when acting as a moderator. I've tried to be fair. I've done my best. Some of you, yes, I crossed a line. Most of the time, as far as I know, I've apologized when it's been pointed out. Maybe I just didn't do a good enough job. Maybe I'm not a perfect fucking snowflake like Lyn over there. Maybe we should all aspire to be as fair and balanced as he is.
I know one thing for sure. For all the efforts I've spent trying to be a friend to most of you, I've been called more names after becoming a moderator than I ever was before. Maybe it's the anti-authority streak you all have. Maybe I was just that much of a bitch. Whatever the case, I certainly did not sign up to be treated like a minimum wage bar wench without being paid, and grin and take it.
Well, from the bottom of my heart: Fuck. That.
I don't give a flying fuck in February what Diana thinks at this point. I tried to help. I talked to him about it repeatedly. Towards the end, yes, I was sick of hearing about how horrible Morwen is, or how horrible Ava is, or (via other parties), hearing about how horrible I am, or Graelyn, or Tiberious... or who the fuck ever else managed to get in Diana's panties at the moment. We sent multiple mails. We sent multiple warnings. She ignored them, or was too thickheaded to follow through with them.
If Diana Kim agrees to airing the mails I've sent to her in public, I'll post them here unadulterated. Because I actually like my account and don't want it banned, I will only be including what I typed to Diana. This is only if Diana explicitly grants permission (by saying so here) to post them here in front of everybody.
People don't stay amateurs all their life. People learn by doing their job.
Unlike many peoples who replied here, I don't tell things like "you are horrible".
I point exactly what was wrong, and my demands to moderators are rather definite and clear:
- to provide warning/information about rules before banning for them
(like Ava was saying, to tone down a notch, which wasn't done in neither of two previous bans)
- to explain which behavior is strictly forbidden (will be banned), and which is not encouraged, that I still can do, but will be modded for short term for this
- for the modding provide exact date, time and violation, and if it won't be obvious:
- tell what exactly it violated and why i should avoid it
I don't think it is really that hard, and on these terms a constructive dialogue can be made.
And in your turn I ask you to help me actually. Instead I get just insults as reply. Where was warning for previous two bans, really? I have asked this question before, you didn't answer, and you again are saying that I was warned. I am asking second time, just tell when if you don't wish to copypaste text, I still have myself all the logs, and if such warning was, I will apologize, of course... of course, if it was. You warned me about other things. And I am asking about stated incidents.
And why would you bring Morwen, Ava, Tiberious to this? To them as
moderators I had complaints
more than two months ago, so I don't know how you got sick from it, unless someone else was telling you about it. Then why do you come to me with it? Their cases aside, for the situation around the last ban, I have a case only to Katrina Oniseki as a moderator for not professional behavior.
And I will explain how and why.
There was a combined complaint to moderators on two characters in one, first complaint - just funny for RP reasons, while second one was against quite disruptive behavior and direct insults.
Moderator Katrina Oniseki replied to this complaint with reject in rude form to act, claiming that Diana Kim "was still banned". After that, Diana Kim indeed was banned, however, both complaint and what was said to her, was filled before the ban, and even Graelyn himself before that was saying that Diana Kim was unbanned after previous ban.
If you wish to post this mail - go ahead.
