? he acted like this id throw him out a window

Well then good thing you're not a mod. Not only that, you weren't there, DB was muted at the behest of the angry mob that is Ignis realm chat by Dky, and then DB got mad, and rightfully so, that's why he said if you're gonna mute me might as well kick me which our super mature moderator did. And you know, I'm not the only one who feels this way, I'm just the only one saying anything about it. AND I like how you called Dannboy a troll. Nice going.

DB certainly did tell Dky to kick him, but he had good reason to be frustrated. There were several Ignis in realm chat telling Dky he should kick DB (without reason), and it frustrated DB to the point of calling someone "a noob." This common insult was Dky's reason for muting DB. (granted, when someone mentioned that calling another a noob wasn't mute-worthy Dky stated it was his attitude while saying it...)

And so DB must sit in front of his computer for 5 or 10 minutes, and watch most of his realm laugh at him, and has no way to respond. What do you think is going to happen when you finally unmute that kid? If I were muted because I called someone a noob, I would be pretty pissed off as well. DB is not the one at fault, realm mates asking a GM to harass him are at fault. The GM that did as his realm mates asked is at fault.

I'm not "taking his side" because I think Vyth is hilarious, and many of you probably know I'm not particularly fond of DB, but to me there is no excuse for a moderator to publicly reprimand a player at the request of other players, and especially not without a very good reason.

Well said Van.

Come on vyth go easy on Dky. He is just 16 and he's doing a great job for his age (apparently from people's posts, I havent seen him in action, so i refrain from commenting any further. Besides, I dont know yet how much of that is a$$-Ki$$ing, which again is a natural human tendency to suck up to people in power, which i dont complain about). He will definitely get there. Mis-judgements tend to happen just that they shouldn't be repeated.
About DB, its impossible to reason with him (and he is getting worse). Dky, my advice would be to not get involved in issues surrounding DB, its like fighting with a pig in mud. Ignore is the best option, as i fortunately found out.

My personal opinion? we dont need moderators. Either way i dont care.. i dont give a damn.

/me had to get his share of the troll-pie

Vythica · 02-25-2010, 03:43 AM

Veluchami,

I respect the tone of your post, but I disagree. (Except for the part where you said we don't need moderators.)

And for the record, this isn't now, nor ever was intended to be a "troll thread".

Altara · 02-25-2010, 03:49 AM

hmm ^^
Well, to start off, Dky is a nice guy, and is always willing to answer questions when people have them, which I appreciate.
Though, in general I dont believe we need a mod to watch over our Realm chats. If there is a problem, screens and reporting is always an option, whether it is a hassle or not. Another solution is to ignore the person that is _annoying_ you. Thought I find tooooo many of you are trigger happy with that option which in my opinion is not a good war strategy.

I like Dky, as a person, but I really dont think we need someone watching our chats

Hmm maybe its just me, but I think you guys are being too sensitive about this.

SlackerLinux2 · 02-25-2010, 04:09 AM

i wasnt there but i have been on enough when db is to know he was prob asking for it

dky was prob trying to act in the best interest of the game db tends to do stuff without thinking and often gets him in trouble with multiple realm players.

i like that dky is actually on moderating the server its about time there was someone to keep it all under control.

Vythica · 02-25-2010, 04:34 AM

There's a difference between "keeping it under control" and muting someone because the "angry mob" says to. If we're gonna have a mod, why don't we have a mod, not somebody who is buddy buddy with some and completely intolerant of others?

Kyrottimus · 02-25-2010, 04:42 AM

The few times I've seen Dky in chat on his mod account he's been laid-back, straightforward, helpful and fair.

For what it's worth.
