Suggestion for Rules

[Mysterious F.]

No, I'm tired of both having to constantly argue with members (which, in fact, is a consequence of being a mod) and of having to deal with rule breakers (most notably this month) but I still want to know what is happening. I have considered jsut not doing anything like Evilslayer, but that would really just ruin the point of being a mod altogether.

Why would you want to know? To what purpose? You already can't do anything then.

REMEMBER! Being a mod means that you have to deal with these stresses, and if you can't take them, and decide to quit, you don't deserve to be in the 'mod castle'.

ONLY PRESENT MODS ALLOWED!

Seems like Whocares wants to have his cake and eat it too. I see no reason former mods should be given special privileges, seeing as how they're not mods anymore, they're regular members.

This isn't helping your image in the eyes of the public, Whocares, just give it up. There's no good reason to give past mods access to mod-only topics.

Yea, true, any other time I would agree with Whocares, but 'former-mod' is like, no it is retiring. You gave Magmar your name as a moderator, you gave it up. Now, you can't take it back to get into a mod only thread, if one was made

[Mysterious F.]

You guys never figured out yet I only wanted to do this to see what your opinions of my former modship was yet? I knew I would never get in, but I thought of this as a chance to see just what the public thought of me the past three or four months. Sorry I did this, but I'd have liked to see you be open about it. If I randomly askede people, then they wouldn't be as open as I'd like them to be. It seems the only one who is glad I'm quiting is JQ, the others have mixed opinions.

[darkphantomime]

Oh, yeah... Since you'll be leaving, I think we're going to have to make a new Warnings thread.

[Mysterious F.]

Incorrect. It stays. Whether or not I'm a mod, it's been used long enough and is too important to get rid of just because you think because I'm not a mod anymore it shouldn't be. And that reasoning makes no sense.

And I wouldn't do that, I respect Gamefreak and ZV enough and accept I'm not a mod to not do that. And I wouldn't be able to edit that post. It was locked while I was a mod by me, so only a mod would be able to unlock or edit it, so I'd only be able to view the topic.

[darkphantomime]

Actually, it does. Since, even if you weren't a mod here any longer, you'd still be able to edit the first post, where the warnings are posted. This is simply a precaution. Even ZV and Gamefreak realize this.

i've heard someone mention a mod topic or something.

im totally opposed to that.
it just dosn't work.
causes more problems.

[Mysterious F.]

You're guessing that off the experiences of ZV's mod forums. Well, ZV's forums aren't as major as TDC, and, despite what JQ believes, the mods will need privacy when discussing something important. Think about it: would you ratehr have the skilled people who matter in the discusion only talk, or have random people from everywhere in the site send you messages of their opinions? Once a decision would be made, then they'd tell the public, but, unlike what others think, when they are discussing them they need the absolute promise of privacy.

Perhaps we could takr the "Mod only" idea to a vote?

[Bboy94]

Most other forums have at the very least mod only topics, most have Mod only boards. They can disscuss changes with Jack and the new admin and make desicions without being harrased by members. Its also good for stuff like April fools where they can plan out stuff secretly.

[Mysterious F.]

Exactly. It was hard planning the April Fools Joke with ZV and Gamefreak through PM.

[Bboy94]

Wait, what was the joke this year?
