The new rules and public mods

Firstly, thanks for posting the info regarding the new rules Bantha :-)

Personally im not going to read through all the new rules as I would rather stick red hot pins into my eye, rules and copyright notices when installing software just dont make good reading!

A few items have been pointed out to me which I will comment on though.

Firstly, I think it was a good move to now allow clan members other than the clan leader to create a clan recruitment thread. Some clans have a member who's job it is for recruitment so this will now allow them to do their job in the forums too.

In the past I have created our clans recruitment thread, only to have it locked and Blackloter had to repost exactly the same thread, meaning we had 2 identical threads. Which sort of made the rule pointless as it created spam.

• If you want to dispute your punishment, staff will recheck your punishment and make a final decision which cannot be disputed after the decision is made.
• Once staff has made a decision on your punishment dispute its final, if you reply to the ticket after we have made the decision the ticket will be locked

While I understand the reasons for these two rules, I am not keen on them for the simple reason there is still one or two bad mods still modding and these rules protect them and their mistakes.

A few days before the new rules were announced, I already fell foul to having an old ticket locked after the mod had replied with wrong information. So its frustrating that they can now lock the tickets even though they are clearly in the wrong. The ticket was regarding Synia related urls where the mod continously tried to tell me that Syrnia related urls are links within the gameitself.

Syrnia related URLs are those which take you to a page within the game, although we have allowed links to the syrnia trailers.

Later the mod changed their story and said the site had to be mostly syrnia related for it to be posted. While the link I provided was 100% syrnia related, they know it was, it was obvious from the url, they still replied with all different stuff to cover their mistake and then locked the ticket.

In this case I know im 100% correct, they are 100% wrong yet they have locked the ticket rather than admit their mistake. This is just one case that shows how the above two rules can help the bad mods get away with mistakes.

The mods are now back in chat and public again after so many people requested that they return. Hopefully in future senior mods will not make decisions based on what one or two players want and consider the problems making such a mistake can cause. Mods and good judgement....maybe one day they can be paired together ;-)
