Player Mods

Was it about player player moderators or player modifications? I know they don't like anyone doing anything to their client, even if it has zero impact server-side so if it was modifications then I can guess why the thread was closed.

I wish they would allow for some client-side modding to be done. Some mmos embrace it, look at WoW for example, and some of the stuff users create are flippin brilliant and only enhance the game. That game was originally designed with player created add-ons in mind, though. I don't think Fiesta was.

As for player moderators? I don't like the idea of giving players too much power.

Player moderators = just forum ones right?

I guess it's okay... thing is, if you want to select a person that definitely won't abuse their power and is always unbiased/big headed and etc, they're usually the quiet people that doesn't catch much attention, so it'll be hard to find a person like that in a community that's so big. D:

But meh, I don't often visit the official forums so I wouldn't really know what it's like there.

Ahh, I was thinking about giving player in-game powers. I don't like that idea, as for player forum mods on Outspark, I really don't care. I never go there.

player mods in the sense of moderation = ultimate fail.

Keep that clowning to private servers.

I think it can work if given to ppl who dun abuse their power. Maybe they should be given a interview or something first if there really is a selection of player mods.

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.
