It's been stated numerous times to not bother the admins, even if you have a problem with a moderator.
That's the sad state of the site.
Uhh... the rules don't say that.

Cerberus.Senkyuutai said: »Ragnarok.Sekundes said: »I think it's safe to say we could use another mod, heck, perhaps a few and if it doesn't work out that's fine but for the site's sake let's try to be nice. Based on people's complaints in the other thread and here, everyone wants a new mod, that's exactly the point. But people want a mod that isn't biased right out of the box.
Not saying she is, but being the fiancée of an already existing mod that may not be respected/have any credibility for a reason or another removes pretty much all the credibility she has right off the bat and doesn't fill the need of the forums. All of that based on the complaints posts, once again.
So you can hardly act surprised when people are being a bit offensive or seriously doubting her.
Just explaining something logically understood reading this thread and the other, not accusing her/the other person of anything as I have no idea of what happened. I don't have any complaints toward moderation personally, but at the same time I hardly get into drama.
But then again, those people who are assuming right off the bat that I am/will be biased, aren't giving me much of a chance already, now are they? I can only prove to people so much, but if they've made up their minds, it's going to be hard convincing them otherwise.
I know I have a long, bumpy road ahead of me, so I guess it's a good thing I just repaired my car right? lol

For some reason the semicolon being used incorrectly instead of a colon in the title is bugging me Terraka! /puppy dog eyes
I can reward you with two free rateups if you consider changing it~ This.

I never stated that I had the need to, I was just merely pointing something out, and correcting you.

Still is considered generally site related if Team Leaders aren't doing a good job, you go to the Supervisors.

By Terraka 2015-05-25 22:43:13
2. classic rock and current rock Was hoping you'd say metal :D
Eh, depends on the type of metal lol. Maybe some Avenged Sevenfold, or Disturbed lol If you consider them metal

Possibly. The rules are agreed generally as a whole with all staff agreeing to changes.

That is not what a reasonable person would deduce from the multiple statements on the matter.
But as you're insisting it's otherwise then I'll take it as such.
I would suggest updating the language in the rules and in the site info to clear up any confusion, whenever you get the time.
I am not unaware of the purpose of the wording.

Hello Terraka, I don't know you as I don't lurk most social things but I read both your announcement as a mod and this thread. I do not agree to certain saying but I do understand why they are saying so.
If you are a veteran FFXI player, you should know that FFXI have a long history of "The wife/fiance/gf/egf" who get a high position in a LS and that benefice was solely given to them because of that said special position. Unfortunately, too often it turned out absolutely terrible as that said person had little to no experience on that fresh position she got given and she would usually use it for her own personal benefices. Enough to give nightmares to most people FFXI wise.
Please don't take it personal.
Congratulation and Good luck as a moderator! (you will need it)
Edit: Please forgive my poor english, it is not my main.

I can assure to you all whether you want to believe me or not (and I know most of you guys don't believe me), I can keep business and pleasure separate and I'm not here to get any benefits for myself; I don't need any benefits. I'm a member on this site too and these rules apply to me as well.
I promise to you all that I'm here to be as professional as possible.

Good Morning,
I would also like to use the option to get to know something about you.
Do you read the political and cultural sections of the forum?
If you have a 1-way ticket for time traveling, would you go to the past or the future?
Darwinism or creationism?
If you could change/create 3 international laws what would they state afterwards?
Would you be pro a change of the report's button second option into something more neutral?
Which castle or burg would you want to visit if you had the chance? (worldwide)
Sorry for taking your time.

Good morning to you as well. :)
1. Yes and no, I just pop in there once in a while and make sure everyone is playing nice.
2. The past to see if there was a way I could change the future.
3. Darwinism.
4. I'm not well versed in international laws, lol.
5. I'll try my best to be :)
4. Edinburgh Castle in Scotland.
And there's nothing to be sorry about, if I complain about anyone taking my time, I would be proving to all the doubters that I'm a terrible mod. lol

Ooh I always like these threads. Let's see...
1) What is your favorite food?
2) Would you prefer to be slowly crushed to death or microwaved?
3) If a clown wears makeup on an east-bound train going 50 mph, and a mime without makeup is on a west-bound train going 65 mph, does the clown get crushed by the mime's invisible box or does the mime make it to their dinner date on time?
4) What is your stance on the American healthcare system?
5) What is your favorite Nicholas Cage film?
6) Who would you rather have narrate your life: Sean Connery or Morgan Freeman?

3. They both get crushed.
4. I think it could be improved, but I doubt it will be.
5. Knowing
6. Morgan Freeman all the way.
