Should MOD's be restricted to a certain group?
« on: March 13, 2011, 08:53:30 pm »
I was thinking maybe there could possibly be a way to shut off Mods while in group chat or have them restricted to one area, because when role playing sometimes we get all this red text from a Mod who's answering questions or something and it kind of disrupts the role play. Anybody have any opinions?

I honestly don't think so. Because what if the Mod has to tell you something? You wouldn't be able to see what the Mod is saying. It may be annoying to you, but it's part of keeping the game safe to users.

I understand it is but for those of us role playing its a tad annoying to see red text talking about random stuff pop up in the middle of an RP , least from my opinion it is a little bit. Dunno about other people though.

I don't find it annoying at all, after all, mods are there for a reason.

Not like a certain group per-se but like you would have the option of turning them off....yeah that probably wouldnt work. :p

If you could turn them off, then rule-breakers could easily just ignore them, and we don't want that >xD

While reading this, I got another idea. Maybe the mods can choose whether they want to talk in red or in normal mode. So, when they talk with their friends, they can use normal mode, and when they do their mod-job they can just turn on the red font mode.
Maybe that would be helpful.

Good idea Thunder. I do dissagree with the turn the Mods off thing. As said above, it would be easier to break rules.

I do like the idea, but as I read before, the admins don't want users to bug mods/admins. So, they keep them behind the MOD## text (without the username. The ## Is like a code. I think.). ;P And with all the people who bug the mod who speaks, I have to understand why they do that.

Sorry if I'm wrong! D:
