This is a great conversation. Thanks Rob for showing your frustration with this. Important for this to be talked about as much as it needs i feel.
New to the world of “Moderatorship”, I’ve not engaged much on these issues. I do have my “real time” world and it has been shaving away the patience of my once thick skin. My patience is not what it used to be.
The “rules” laid out for admins are pretty limiting. We’re supposed to give warnings, let everyone play and have fun, give more warnings, listen to some potty mouth talk, play and have fun, and give more warnings. The process is pretty laid out, and I hope my patience bares up under some of these issues. I have left a game many times because of a player “overreaching” with their skills, or their hacks.
I support fun here, and I put up with ausies “tasty toob’n”, but as told above, we are here for the break from r/t, for the fun.
Im not in often, but anyone is free to pm me for a discussion on issues, and if I can’t help, I know a few to talk to. All the admins care about this place. That’s what I’ve seen anyways.
