Questions about the future moderator team

Hi wolfie!

I'll try to answer your questions, they're not that hard!

You can do whatever you wish with the "ignore function" in chat.
Most mods will adress you using the pm system regarding game issues, if you are active in chat you may recieve messages in chat as well.
We all understand that if you abuse chat you'll get a warning in chat, if you don't see that warning because you have the moderator on ignore you're on your own.
Meaning: you won't revieve warnings and won't be able to follow leads given by the moderator, you also have no excuse about not being warned.
In short, it seems to me it's best not to ignore the moderators, they are here for a reason.

It seems only logic to discuss things with the moderator first don't you think?
If YOU have a problem with someone YOU should adress that person first, after all you 2 are the ones having a conflict.
Don't ask developers to do moderators work and vice versa, that's what the mods are here for and i'm sure most of the moderator team will answer all your questions correct and very responsive. (working on expansion of the moderator team, applications are still welcome)
Asking the developers to do moderator work, mailing them every little thing that might be wrong only stalls futher development of the game and is not doing any good for the game itself.
(we're all here to have a good time, most of us at least)

About how the management adresses mods and how the management and the mods communicate, that's between those people involved and is of no interest to individual players.

Futhermore i think most questions you're asking are answered in previous chats and forum topics, try to use the search function.

on a personal note
May once more ask you to stop this discussion about the moderators, perhaps worry about your troops or village a little more, get it out of vmode and enjoy the game instead of trying to be a Don Quixote in this game.

You do have a good point there.
I think someone has to do some thinking about the kind and sort of discussion.
We won't tolerate discussion about the functioning of individual mods, this leads to personal attacks or to say the least, discussion wich can be interpreted as personal attacks.
Since the mods are volunteers we would like to avoid that so we can assure everyone is having fun.

I think in the next stage of the moderator recruitment selection a couple people will be nominated, people may have the possibility of voting for that person in some way.
Trouble is there's only a small amount of people using the forum and most "happy" players don't know there's a forum anyways. I'm sure the development team will have some answers for us all when they've made up their minds.
The developers asking for feedback was not an opportunity for anyone to question their management or to question the functioning of the current moderator team.

As for you not coming out of vmode?
I can not think of one reason you are not playing, since the rules are very simple, everything that is allowed by game mechanics is allowed at the moment, only thing that we're banning people for is abuse of the system before the new rules were dropped.
(those players nominated for reset are still nominated and will get reset soon)
Discussions and bans have no influence on the game itself, the bans are for cheating players who will get reset, no use in getting involved with them, the discussion it only fed by a few people... most players on the server are enjoying it as it is (while we're all hoping the hard coded implementation of the previous rules is done very quickly)

Assuring everybody has fun is the only reason why I'm still here.
You think about the next stage, you don't know. Neither do I. That's why I ask.
I get  and got complaints from players all the time. Yes they don't come to the global forum. Some don't see the point, it's all been said before it's all been ignored. Some ask me open on chat: can you do it Wolfie" when I ask them to put it on global forum or tell Daed about it. They see how other players are treated on the forum and on the game and in private. I can tell you I am sick and tired off it. I try to follow any rule, question or whatever givin to players, I still end up defending myself in every single way. The problems I have are still the same players have had from the very beggining I played this game.
I asked in general this time. I question the current team in private like I have been told. Like I said we had these problems before, other players, other mods, most quit playing. No change we will have these problems again other players other mods.

I can not say anything about me coming out off vmode. I would have to say you told me something else in private, I can't do that, I'll get banned. I did it in private like we have been told to do.
Bans have a big influence in the game. Communication is a very importent factor in a war game.
Bans are only to be discussed with the players in question yet it is on here again.
I personally don't want to get banned from this global forum for no reason. I did NOTHING before I got banned.
One big question comes to mind. Players are getting banned on chat now for cheating in the game now when it has been said and you said it again everything that is allowed by game mechanics is allowed at the moment. How is it cheating? The rules are not gone aldo you and the news say so?
Players are happy now? Then why do they keep complaining to me? Why do they keep having discussions? Why do players and mods keep quiting, are the ones who did quit not coming back, stay the ones who went in vmode with all that has happend in vmode?

I (a player) have been told Endless discussions in the forum will no longer be tolerated.
I would like to keep to this rule. Therefor I will go back on topic:

What will be done about the problems we have now and had in the past?
How can we give feedback in order to pick a moderator team that is acceptable to anyone without getting banned or ignored?

Guess who's back
Some dog in a movie: play?

News: We are going to review our moderators. Anyone who's interested in becoming a new moderator can apply here. We will also listen to the feedback from players in order to pick a moderator team that is acceptable to anyone (please use the forum for this). Please apply before February 17th.

How do I give feedback in order to pick a moderator team that is acceptable to anyone on the forum?
