If they gave players jobs as moderators in the forums or in the game, they'd probably watch them like a hawk. They'd probably have a log of all the actions that person did that day. Well.. thats how I've seen it in the past.

I don't care if they assign 'random' moderators for their forums, but just don't do it in the game.

I've already met enough mods who were banning everyone who were opening their mouth to criticize the company or the mod himself. Also some rumors were around about the company giving some of the players privileges, those who tried to spread the rumor were banned from the forums instantly, some were even banned from the game if they continued. Guess what, those rumors turned out to be pretty true.

Anyway, what I'm saying is mods can do a lot of stuff behind your backs. So if a 'random' player gets all that power, who knows what will happen. Maybe we get 24/7 3x EXP.

Yeah, Lackluster was talking about forum moderators. Not in-game ones.

I'm not sure what sort of admin structure the game can support. Several games I've played in the past allowed for lower leveled "GM" powers. More like demi-gods and mainly for bot control. They could warp players to a test map and check them out against known bot behaviour guidelines. Then, they could suspend the account pending review by a "full" GM. Worked fairly well.

it was just for forum moderators, not in game ones.

I suppose I wasn't clear enough. Someone had mentioned player moderators in game, and I was saying that it has worked decently enough in the past on other games. I couldn't care less about the official forums. I think I've made a grand total of one post.

I don't see why they deleted that thread either... it took me a long time to type out... :|

Who created the thread?

Lack. Maybe they didn't read the thread, and they thought he was talking about the 3rd party program mods. LOL.

LOL Wth. o__O" I'd laugh if that's the case... since there's nothing wrong with a discussion of player forum moderators. Not that I see anyway.
