A some portion of this can be passed off as 'joking around,' for example the ratings. But, other things such as photo-shopping pictures, harassing her, and claiming said photos as her is another thing. Especially when you know she feels uncomfortable about these kind of things. You may have your little disagreements, but as either staff members or mere members of the same clan - get along. If you can't do that, just realize that we're a community trying to prosper and grow. Berating your own fellow clan members isn't helping anyone other than you possibly getting a laugh out of it. If you two must not speak to each other, fine, so be it. I realize Kitty may have done things also, but honestly. Any personal problems with Kitty being a moderator should be - and will be - dealt with the division's DM/DL. (So, attempt to keep this thread on topic) Soon, I will post my full opinion on this subject later. I'll speak to @Nomulous and anyone else later if they need my opinion on it.
I have no idea how to express what I am feeling when it comes to this post. I really don't.
I guess I'll just start it off bluntly. From my experiences thus far, I have no inherent issues with any of the moderation staff of xG. I rather enjoy their company for the most part. But when I see something like this literally rock-slide out of control, it makes me take a step back and take a good, hard look at the xG servers as a whole.
I like you guys. I really do. But there are times when I am facepalming myself so hard I nearly give myself a concussion. The maturity levels of some of our moderators, at times, seems to be extremely underwhelming. There have been many times that I have been in a server and chose to disconnect due to the content being spewed over the voice chat by those who have the power to kick other players. Sometimes, I just don't want to be in the same server as some of you. But, I don't want you guys to think I am trying to stir the pot. I am just being honest.
It would seem to me that there needs to be some sort of revolution with the way staff conducts themselves. Some more than others, of course. But for the most part, our staff here do what needs to be done, but there are those moments where things escalate and words are said that do not help the situation at all. Sometimes, it feels like the moderators forget that the other people playing on the servers are, in fact, other people.
I consider myself a pretty level-headed individual. I think logically before I speak and try to avoid hasty decisions. I process the possible outcomes of every scenario before I take action. I always try to resolve conflict with open communication. Any time I have an issue with someone, the first thing I try to do is contact that individual so I may directly speak with them. @Mitsu and @Hachi can probably vouch for me on that. I've been known to be an ass, but when I'm an ass and it upsets someone, I am quick to try and fix the problem. I own up to the situation and take responsibility for my actions. I'm not perfect, but I have a pretty good track record of cleaning up my messes.
It would seem to me that the moderators need to find that innate ability to own up for their mistakes. EVERYONE makes mistakes, and when those mistakes go uncorrected, the head begins to fester until it bursts. This brings me to the situation at hand. The situation makes me feel a lot of feelings for a lot of the people involved. I feel upset that this rift has been created among the staff. I feel sorry for @Kittylicious and the position she has been placed in. I feel sorry for the other moderators that have been put in this situation and have to defend their actions. I feel sorry for @Nomulous because of the awkward situation it has put him in. It is just a proverbial shitpile. NOTHING good will come of this.
But I have chosen to stand and help. I have chosen to remain in the middle, waiting until someone calls on me to referee the situation. I want to help EVERYONE involved on both ends and I want to see a sound resolution to these issues. I teach second graders. I see this kind of stuff DAILY. I can safely say that I am an EXCELLENT mediator when it comes to personal problems, so if ANYONE needs to talk to me about the issue, my door is always open.
I only hope that we can resolve this issue civilly. If there's anything I can do to help, please contact me.
You'll be accepted soon enough, we have to wait one day after the requirements are met. You can be accepted as soon as 4:32 PM today. Central time zone.
