In response to Moderators hanging out in chat for funzies.

[Anpu]

Keep up good work Dky

Haha I find funny that user, who "officially" left a game, doesn't like mod using his mod char for doing guess what: moderating. Mod-moderator-moderating, those words looks like quite related to me.

I'd hate to be a mod honestly..the jealousy part i don't get?

Everytime one logged on in the past it was just spammed..id probably end up swearing or getting tired on day 1 of the innane questions and immature people/responses/conversation.

so i guess it is is honorable that can take it in stride and not blow up.

Dky its nice to see you on realm, its shame the other dev's couldnt show their face's a bit more

First off, just because I've left doesn't mean that I can't still voice concerns about a game that I've invested quite heavily in. Secondly, I knew you'd disagree with me, if only for the sake of disagreeing. And finally, he's not a dev. That is short for Developer. i.e. someone who develops the game. He's a Moderator and while it's one thing to "moderate" chat, Anpu, it's quite another to sit on your mod account and chit chat with the kiddies.

Why does this concern you of all things? Why not worry more about the game itself and the state it's in?

You say it like this is all he does. Really... he's done more than most people for the game. I think you're overreacting...

But since you are on enough to see a Mod talking in chat to long enough to annoy you to the point of complaining on the forum about it you clearly havent 'left' very effectivly.

Dky is doing a good job, and last I checked becoming a Mod dosnt suddenly mean you dont have the same rights as everyone else (ie being able to talk to other players in game) if anything Id be happy if Mods & Devs took a more active part in in game chat.

And why is that a problem for you? You want all kids for yourself or?

I dont understand, his presence on realm chat brings benefit to realm.
You have someone willing to invest part of his free time to help new players by answering questions, talk with older players and possible share some news he got (as he is a staff from NGD). And plus, he will sure try his the best to make realm chat more pleasant place, eliminating trolls/other kind of bad users.

My point is not to negate you, but I m failing to see good reason for such a "complain".

What are you his spokesman? You sound like you're reciting a resumé for the guy. My point is this; not only does it appear big-brother-ish, but he's not exactly a "righteous" user, I've seen him swear in realm chat ON a mod account... And here you talk about cleaning up the chat and setting a good example...my only problem with that isn't that he swore it's that it said "[Mod]" next his name.

Look, I'm not trying to troll, I'm simply saying that these things could be avoided by simply hanging out in chat as a "Regular user". If you need to do "mod duties" then log into that account. Historically RO hasn't needed official policing, we do that pretty well on our own. We also help the noobies. On our own. We don't need a frackin' hall monitor.

Have you ever been to other Regnum servers with gamemasters?
There is 1 at least online all the time.

If you don't have a problem with swearing, it shouldn't matter who said it or what it said next to their name.

"These things" just seem like excuses to complain to me. He's done nothing wrong and you're making a big deal out of nothing. If you have to, ignore him and move on. No one else seems to have a problem with it, leave him be.

[Vythica]

See that's where you and I agree. He's done nothing wrong (except for one occasion of swearing that I've personally seen) but other than that nothing. But there is a perception that's being put out. And it's a bad one. I have a feeling if anyone else had brought this up it would have been taken more seriously, but because I'm me, this is a chance for some of you to disagree to disagree.
