Shhhh...they haven't picked out their entrance music yet. Yes, those are two and there should be some more coming aboard shortly.

That would be fun. Moderators would have to pick an entrance theme. Course then we would have to have "bad guy" mods and "good guy" mods so people know who to cheer and boo for.

You can see the full moderation team here. In the next few days, after getting some responses from people, there will be an announcement made here this blog welcoming the new moderation team members. As well as future announcements to keep the community informed when new moderators come on board in the future.

Take a bath that keeps the dirty hippies away.

Indeed. You are still on double secret probation.

Not that I'm aware of. He and I don't use it to communicate. We use other means.

While I understand the accusations, I don't see us breaking with tradition of keeping our identities private. I believe, last time I looked, all moderators currently (not the Senior Staff of SoE and Andro) have active nations in game. Any act by a moderator that comes in question as being politically driven will be reviewed by Senior moderation including Admin and dealt with immediately. Course as long as we all (I mean me as a player as well) play by the rules and don't break the rules, then there is never any reason to worry about any false claims by players. Any player using mods as a weapon will be warned for reporting false reports. As I said in the response to that private message I posted above, with the change of the moderation forums to being viewable by only mods and the players reporting this will stop any false reporting by players for political reasons. As far as the moderation, all actions are reviewed and if there is ever any question or concerns on a warn or action I am always available by private message and so is admin.

I don't know what happened to Allan...according to records he self-retired back in July 2014. As far as internships, I don't know. That'd be something to ask Admin.

That is definitely something that can be looked at on a case by case basis. The person in question can either post a thread in the Warn and Ban Appeal forums or private message me or Socrates. The criteria that will be looked at on each situation: Length of time since banning. Whether there were ban evasion attempts and duration of time since last ban evasion. Behavior here at the forums (ie: anyone posting things intentionally to get banned like images, mod identities, and basically total disregard to forum rules in a deliberate manner). Obviously the second and third criteria will eliminate many of the known persistent abusers, but I'm sure there are some that fall in the smaller group that did not try to circumvent rules.

Ahhh true point, indeed.

In the moderation top level of the forum the threads have been set to be secret until approved for many years now. Yes, if we approve a thread for discussion we will send a private message to the OP letting them know that their thread has been approved for discussion out of courtesy so they can "make their case" per se.

Man, how do you have 200 pms? You should clean those up. However, I did up the maximum to 250.

Received this pm and with permission am posting here with my response. My response:

Thank you for your comment. This is under discussion and I will let you know the answer.

Moderation Team Blog Welcome to the first entry in the moderation team blog! This blog will be used for announcements and other topics between moderation and the forum members. There are some exciting things being done with the moderation team and we look forward to sharing those with all of you. There is a review of the current moderation structure taking place and the new structure will be announced within weeks. Along with the restructuring, there will be the need for new graphics made for the images for each moderation rank. There will be a contest announced in the Open World Forum about this contest and the chance to win a prize for the best images that is chosen from among all of the entries submitted. Other changes that have taken place include the changing of the moderation reporting area to being made where only the players reporting and the moderation staff can see each player's individual report. This change was necessary to encourage those who report things not to feel like they are harassed by other players for reporting possible violations, but also it will curb the desire of yet others who choose to report things out of a motivation to try to take out political opponents or even just to curb players that report things for the sake of the attention. We are here to help maintain a civil playing field yet encourage an atmosphere that will allow players to enjoy the game in their roles as nation leaders, alliance leaders and members. If there are any ways in which we can improve the forum experience please feel free to post in the Moderation Forum and those entries that are of merit will be approved for discussion. If you need anything feel free to message me or any moderation staff.

Ok, this is going nowhere pretty. iClose.

Thread closed since obviously the thread starter is no longer with us.

Discussion of moderation issue such as multis is in violation of forum rules.

Hi Princess Kitty. We meet again. Banned for ban evading. Thread closed.

Grave dig.

As a reminder, posts of just "o/" is spam. You must include more than the hail. "o/ Oculus" is acceptable.

Since this is not an alliance announcement, moved.

If someone wants to start a new thread and keep the map update, go ahead and make the new thread and post the link to it here, please. Thanks!
