I saw many forum close, and mostly is when moderator are 'over-doing' their job. Isn't this what happened already to FEU on EU side? Wasn't their forum dead and some of them posted (and still are posting) here?
Mwahahahahah!
Ahem...
I post here simply because I want to contribute to the RoM community (and generally annoy people) but I have the same mindset for the EN & AU forums too.
The "Green Meanies" are only doing their job here. If we violate the forum rules, then we must accept the consequences of our actions.
As I understand it, the rules are there to try and keep the forums positive and helpful but I often come browsing in the hope of trying to help someone only to find a ton of crap-posts from people whining and moaning and complaining and even swearing or making accusations against others.
This is where the Mentors and Moderators come in. They have the 'lovely' job of coming in and tidying up after our [removed] and make the forums all nice and pretty again.
So, what do we do?
We [removed] and [removed] about all the [removed] posts that the [removed] Mentors have [removed] deleted or [removed] edited and how [removed] unfair it is that
my post was the [removed] one they [removed] messed around with.
Whichever Mentor has to clean up after us is just a matter of timing. If "
Mentor X" sees stuff needing moderated, I'm pretty sure he'd be doing it. If "
Mentor Y" comes in first, it'd be him.
If we're tired of always seeing our posts edited, it's probably about time we
re-read the Forum Rules so that we are full aware of
why our posts are edited so that we can avoid giving the Mentors too much hassle in the first place! Let's go easy on them - they are just regular players like us and probably lose out on a bit of
their fun game time in having to clear up or deal with our mess.
Let's grow up and stop acting like spoilt 5-year-olds!
EDIT:
Too much [removed] swearing, sorry.
