who will be the next moderator(s)

I don't think I'd get much joy from being a mod. From all the thing's I've been seeing lately, mods have pretty tough times these days.

I rather enjoy being a mod, or else I'd not have continued to do it after being hired for a paid position! Yes, you take a good level of abuse, but you also get to help people and I like being able to do something about stuff I see happening rather than having to stand helplessly by. I've made some nice friends modding these forums, especially here in OT. Enough so that the few who decided to hate me because of some minor infraction don't really bother me.

foxybunny, you still didnt correct yourself....

ya well that is true with out them there will be no help lol

any way if u r a mod do u hav 2 be on like all the time

For anyone who wants to be a mod and doesn't think they stand a chance, can I point out something that I thought was sort of obvious but apparently isn't? Well, two things, really:

1) When you wear the green name, you represent Evony to the community. If you have a long history of trashing Evony and trolling against the company or its staff, I would think chances are slim of them wanting you to represent them. And why would you want to?

2) A mod's job is to enforce the forum rules. Anyone who has a history of being unable or unwilling to follow forum rules probably doesn't have a great chance of becoming a mod.

Although we don't look for people who kiss-up or agree with everything, if you want to be a mod it would help your case greatly if you could manage to obey the forum rules and not trash the company you'd like to be a part of!

I don't think the mods should represent the company. By all means they should work with them, but since they are volunteers (all but Foxy, the mod), they should owe more to the players then the company. Also, Foxy, you and I have a serious disagreement in what trolling actually is. I think players that attack others is trolling, but players that attack the company is not. That is my opinion though. The reason why I speak up the way I do is because I hate watching potential get thrown away. I don't hate Evony, but as every day passes by, my trust in them fades much more. There should never be as many issues as there are with people trying to buy the "special" packages. Overall, I don't see any dynamic improvement occuring with them trying to make their image better. Overall, I tend to have to do something drastic to make a change occur Foxy. If I act out, I've noticed Thalin will normally come answer people's questions then, and other changes have occured when I tried to act out. Take the 16th (last time I was suspended). I acted out only a bit that day, but Thalin then came on shortly after and actually communicated with the community. Evony never takes the proactive step they need to. They are always reactive, and that is where the issue lies.

I like helping people...gives me a warm tingling feeling.

No, you don't have to be on all the time. We do look for people who are active, though, since it would be nice if we had mods on as often as possible.

And ABakker, I wasn't referring to anyone in particular when I said that bit about trolling. Had I meant you specifically, I'd have said so. I think I have proven I am not shy about things like that.

BTW, please correct your post. Purples, just like green names, are NOT paid. I was made a supermod because of my activity level and because I had earned the trust of the reps. I was not made a supermod because I was an employee. At the time I was made a supermod, the reps didn't even know I was in the process of being hired and I still do NOT get paid while modding.
