Not Cool Guys
That was not cool. At all. I don't care who offended who, using my OOC post to take out your frustrations was not the way to do it.
Rules and FAQ are getting re-vamped ASAP; I'll be including all of the helpers in e-mails to hash this out. I am the de facto head moderator for the time being. Expect major changes in how the mods will deal with this sort of thing in the future.
Slander is going to become a serious offense leading towards getting banned. We have always said that if you E-MAIL US with your problems, we can work towards getting them solved. I received ONE e-mail about the issue before my post went up, and ONE regarding it in the past -- if you all feel so frustrated, compile your thoughts into an e-mail for the mods to read and address as a group.
Comments to this post are screened and same with the previous post (i.e. no I didn't delete them) so I can read through all of that. I have the transcript of the chat from last night to read as well.
All comms are going to get screened for posts until the moderators can discuss things. If I'm lucky, that will be one day, maybe two.
Edit 10:30AM EST: I have read the chat and previous posts' comments. I have sent out the first e-mail to the moderators. I will be online until approximately 5pm via IM and e-mail with only sparse breaks to speak with players and moderators. If you have specific issues you want to make sure get addressed, I encourage you to compile your e-mail or comment to this post ASAP. The issues we are already aware of include:
- How to handle player/mod, player/player, and mod/mod problems
- Plot and where it's heading
- World-building and NPC visibility
