Too much bullshit in complaints and such is a major reason for moderators to stop - it takes up too much time. Sometimes, there's already 5 pages to wade through in one complaint before the working days are over.
and that is what me and komo have volunteered to do, not only be moderators, but to fix the rules, so there is much less bullshit in these threads...
it just enhances the things i have said in the beginning of this post, before things went way out of control, and pretty much off topic.
its completely asinine that you mods will find at least one complaint a week that really has found a fine line with-in the rule book, and could pretty much land on either side of the tracks, yet.. all you do is make a final decision about the specific game and move on... but then you will make comments in threads like this "omg, it sucks to be a mod, there is so much drama in the complaint section, and im so tired when i get home from work"
if the rule book was fixed, then it would be a simple copy and paste away, virtually anyone could be a mod.
I would hate to say it, but i kind of wish ropa was here, we may not agree on most things, but i bet he would be driving home all the points i am trying to make.
I know exactly what MI is going to say, "well whats stopping your from making fixes in the rules?? you could have done that at any point" or something similar, and sure, he is right... i could read the rule book, and try to brain storm things that need to be added, but that would be a mega fail (just as the first rule book) you need the hands on experience, and case-by-case examples to draw inspiration from.
So, if MI is too stubborn to make komo a MOD, he could always follow along in the complaint section, and with each complaint, take note if the rule book could/should have an update.. that would be a great help in the community, but at the same time, its a slap in the face to him suggesting he cant simultaneously be a MOD, so that would be komo decision.
@komo: If MI is setting these stipulations to be MOD, that you have to turn into some tree hugging, dick riding, alter boy... watch your language at all times, refrain from getting in any debates, name calling, or otherwise controversial behavior, i would strongly suggest you do not do that, komo.... this community needs you komo, we need you just how you are, dont change just to become a silly ass MOD... we dont need another computer generated personality haunting the ultimate site, we need real people.... im sorry, but i like when people present to the community who they are, regardless how silly, crazy, egotistical, angry, vindictive, happy, or any other descriptive word they are... cant stand it when some of these robotic people (i wont mention any names) just acts in a professional manner as if this is some work environment... i mean, if that is how you really act in your real life, then that is ok, continue to be yourself, but its not fun, did you notice your lack of friends outside of the work place?
so, f@#! the mod position komo, f@#! what monkeyisland thinks of us, and be you. dont change for anyone. you have been you for the 10+ years i have known you, if you change just because some Iranian video game admin does not think your cut out to be on his team, i would lose a great deal of respect for Scottish men everywhere. :p
