Moderator Free October

[Bawfle]

Raz, you seriously take a step back and think things trough.

First you take away my powers, then you remove Nynx from the Staff page and strip her of her title, and I assume powers too. Are you doing this to any/all former and current staff member who publicly disagree with you? Because if it is, it's not the way to go. Clearly this 'concept' is not wanted, clearly people (both staff and members) are strongly against the idea of this self moderation system due to how blatantly obvious it is that it will not work. It's a real shame that you cannot see this or refuse to see this.

You've dug a huge hole for yourself, it is clear to literally anyone who has paid a visit to this thread. Please use this opportunity to retract your decision while it's still fresh, and apologise to the people you have hurt in the process. Including the community for creating such panic. It's clear that you're troubled somehow, but you're being very vague about it, and making rash decisions that are just causing damage than it is causing good. Damage is NOT what should be inflicted to this game. It's been through enough already.

You're abusing your power, and why you are is beyond me. Please talk to someone about what's really troubling you. Because something clearly is considering you disappeared for a year and came back to do this. We're not against you, Raz, we're against your decision. It's obvious some people have gotten carried away and made it more of a personal matter, but they're just scared and confused, having very little to go on, and that's completely human. As was your decision. You probably wanted to change FH for the better, but you can't do it this way, Raz.

Talk to me, talk to staff, talk to someone, talk to us all. I don't care at this point. Let it out.

Are we not going to talk about how Nynx basically disappeared?

She's still there but if anyone was quick to catch...

` She made a thread in this same board, advertising and providing a link that leads to the next WIP patch that Raz himself specifically halted and wished not released.

Now, you cannot find her on the staff page, her comment that was originally directly under Raz's/the first comment was deleted, AND her very title of Global Moderator was striped.

All in one night.

I know her well enough to know she cares more for the community to do that... Vespian smells oppression and manipulation. A bully up on his pedestal.
To think some of you actually defended him.

I also want to add that the thread for the WIP patch that Raz didn't want officially released has been either taken down or moved...

This was the link to that thread, btw, since I shared it in one of my FH RP Discord servers:


and as a result:


That thread didn't even last 24 hours.
The patch included all original-but-revamped maps such as Bonfire Island and Fluorite, btw. It's really beautiful and I'm glad I snagged it when I got the chance.

 So my friends and I woke up this morning to find characters we had online last night deleted. We even have visual evidence of the incident. I wonder why... Hmm? Coincidence, I don't think so.

[Valar.Morghulis]

@DraconisFantasy
Yup, one of my characters was deleted too. And hell I didn't delete it either.

[Vespian]

Adding:

It just occurred to I that Nynx's post was the only post exclaiming that this was NOT a staff decision.
Could it be, that he intends to hide that fact as well?
Fortunately, he has no control over the FH deviantART group page which states the same as Nynx's thread once had but without Nynx's post, people reading a tad bit late without first or if ever glimpsing at said dA group can easily come under the assumption that this was, in fact, a staff-wide choice when it all actuality, it is not.

This could also mean that anyone who sets foot in the patches will either have that character deleted, or they will be banned altogether.

This is getting to be way too much.

[Scottishy]

character's are being deleted now if they are in the patch maps, my character has poofed from both user channel and in game. raz.. just stop.. what are you doing. you seem to be thriving on this and it's just not right.

[AssassinNinja]

Dear Raz,

You have dedicated members that have played this game since the beginning begging you not to make this change. I've been playing since '13 and don't think this is the right way to manage the game. I'd like to believe you have good intentions with this proposal but a game made for children desperately needs moderation or it will crumble into chaos. The system would be easily abused. I know myself and many other members have used this game as an outlet and safe haven to escape reality. Feral Heart is the core of my childhood and for the nostalgic feeling to be possibly ruined by a faulty system makes my heart ache. I'd be devastated for the plug to be pulled on our beloved game. Your reputation is suffering because of the lack of communication with the Feral Heart staff and community in general. A lot of people are terrified because you're not answering ANY of our questions on the thread. Please listen to our opinion on the system. If you want a better moderation/ban system then discuss it with the staff or community so we can help instead of letting the staff team be thrown under the bus and leaving the community a brief and horrifying statement. I personally think you took the wrong approach for this regardless if you meant no harm. However, I also think if you prove you can take advice from the player-base then your reputation will become stable. I ask that you listen to the community's pleading and not follow through with this proposition.

Sincerely,

Soft ♡

I agree with you.

[blueroseknight95]

Alright. It would appear that anyone going into the patch is now facing connection issues.

While I am not a fan of being "babysat" I do think that this game in particular should be moderated and watched over. Especially when there are kids and young teens coming in the game. Not a lot of kids know better either (I know not every kid is bad, but there are a few bad apples. Even adults can be bad as well).

I am not a computer geek of any kind so I'm not sure how a system works when it comes to banning, moderation, etc. but I know that what was posted by you, Raz, just sounds like a bad idea and I agree with a lot of what is being said by other members of this community.

Also, not having any sort of communication with the staff is also pretty bad, to be honest. Part of why certain things and goals (even relationships, any relationship) fail is because of lack of communication. There needs to be a share of opinions, thoughts, and ideas tossed around first before anything is made as a decision. Especially if it's permanent.

On another note, banning anyone who gets blocked? That sounds horrible. There could just be some minor disagreements or maybe someone has had a bad interaction/first meeting with someone but all they need to do is block them. Maybe they want to unblock them and talk again. Just because they get blocked doesn't mean they should be banned.

Please listen to what others have to say and think about what you are doing before doing anything.
