Thread: Can Moderators play??

  1. #1

    Default Can Moderators play??

    On my server, 126, it seems that one alliance, Demonic, control the World chat. they can say anything (and they greatly abuse) while other people are very limited. Tonite the system was refusing my first awnser, even if i did'nt say a word in weeks. I was pre-ban while a demonic player was trashing me and rumors are saying that one of them (maybe Kelebra) is working for evony.


    anyway it's just an example of what could happen if a mod is allow to moderate his own server, so my question is; Am i paranoid or is it possible for mods to play and control things in their interest????

    [Forum] Moderators can play the game. Some play frequently, some only occasionally, while some others don't play at all (or had retired from it). There is no rule against this.

    They may have special privileges and/or authority here in the forums, but as far as I know they do not have in-game advantages more than the next average player.

    Refer to JPA32's post about this: http://bbs.evony.com/showpost.php?p=490744&postcount=7

    What are Moderators?
    Moderators are the police of the Forum, they ensure the rules remain upheld and the forum is kept under control.

    ...

    Are Moderators in-game Moderators too?
    No, they are solely here for the Forums and the Forum alone.

    Do Moderators play Evony?
    Yes, they are like any other player, although some do not play and others play very infrequently.

    Do Moderators receive in-game bonuses for being Moderators?
    No, Moderators live by the same limitations that normal players do.

    Moderators can play, and most do play the game. I do not know of any moderator assigned to moderate the discussion groups of the server he/she may play on, though.

    Moderators have ZERO in game power, and get no benefits like extra cents or amulets or anything. They have no access to any server side information. They could not control anything to gain an unfair advantage.

    Moderators (green/purple names) are volunteers that keep our forums clean from spam and vulgarity. They receive no compensation for their efforts from Evony other than a hearty "thank you." We should appreciate that people are willing to take this responsibility for no rewards, I know I do.

    I am just a player but come on, this is a multi-million dollar buisness do u think they are gonna let their moderators go crazy in WC? I think not. And i personally hope the moderators play as much as possible to stay in touch with what's going on.

    Precisely.

    I agree that the example you posted is disgusting and a clear violation of the chat rules, but I do have one question:

    If it's that bad in world chat, why are you staying there? Go to alliance chat, or the whisper room if necessary. You can go into alliance chat even if you aren't in an alliance, and it's so much quieter!! All you get are the war announcements. ;-)

    Whenever I start on a new server, that is where I go. Why would I want to keep watching the recruiting messages, bot advertisements, and trash talk? I pick an alliance carefully, or create my own, so there's absolutely nothing in world chat to attract me.

    Occasionally I will go there and answer a few noob questions, mostly because no one else will answer them with anything but threats and ridicule, but it's very rare that I can tolerate being there for more than 10 minutes.

    I have played along side lord arumen and abracax (when he was a mod) and DCjerboa so some do play in game, never seen brightfang or Abstract though.

    Okay... if the content is inappropriate for world chat, do you really think pasting it on the public forums is a good idea, much less then implying Evony encourages that kind of behaviour?

    I'm closing the thread to prevent that from happening again. I really encourage instead of posting inappropriate content on the public forums, to report the players participating in that kind of conversation when they do. Evony can get to it, perhaps not right away, but do keep in mind there's many reports and issues for Evony to deal with and yours is just one of many. There is no "special protection" for those that break rules.
    It's all Rodri's fault.
