Please do not edit/delete this. I'm not making any accusations, I sincerely think that what I post below is a hurdle in the development of this forum community and ultimately the game.
We may have a chance for constructive progress no matter if the author has dubious intentions (of which I have no idea).
i don't know what IoF posted or tried to post. I must have missed all of that.
However, ANK made a
(inappropriate) post that was deleted. I saved it for all to see in the ANK fan club. There is a reason I bring this up.
He did touch on a point that there is no consistency on how to interpret a rule from mod to mod. Not to bring up old wounds as I really want to leave them be, but that was really the heart of Tana's original gripes.
Unfortunately the consistency will have to flow from Azzer, but my understanding from different Azzer posts, etc (as I've never been a mod here) is that the mods only have the most general of guidelines.
Interpret wrong and be de-modded (after a few complaints). Interpret correctly and be hated (by the playerbase). Be inactive (which there are at least 3 mods I can list off the top of my head) and be named one of the best mods.
Does Azlev even log into these forums? (doesn't need an answer) He's a mod. Did his complete inactivity not come up in his review? (also doesn't need an answer, not my business)
I say this not to flame Azlev, and believe it or not, not to flame Azzer. I say this as a description/symptom of the problem. *IMO* <-- can't stress enough.
The forums DO *need* consistency. It has to start and end with Azzer. Yup people will make mistakes too. However, I feel that some of them could have been headed off at the pass instead of some of the freaking circus we had a few months ago.
