the thing is... film won't show the error msg moderator dialogue box.. screenshots will (if one has presence of mind to do so) - but there's no way to identify the moderator was. as far as we know there's no set schedule more a lasse faire style of moderators schedules.
as you can see, HTC places a great deal of trust in his moderators and i don't think he'd privately, much less publicly, acknowledge that perhaps a moderator might have overstepped their bounds. from what i gather, these moderators are hand-picked by HT(C) and being such, they are most likely long-time players with a history of being polite on ch1.
you wanna finish this exercise on your own and see where it leads you? this is a totally different way of doing things than what kesmai/EA did....
just sayin'
now, this bears repeating that there is a need and a place for moderators, however.... they're human and susceptible to errors in judgement or demeanor. the way it *appears* is that while players can get smacked for such lapses, the moderators are above reproach - cloak of secrecy and all; this does nothing but make the moderators a sub-strata of the larger community, a suspicous and mysterious one operating in the dark, as opposed to sunshine where moderators can be both supported by the community as well as leading by overt example. remaining in the dark, or without at least perhaps a #### to identifiy these people, how can anyone have faith that valid concerns will actually be heard and acted upon?
but... it's all HTC's call. i still see however that there will always be posts like this where someone feels (and quite correctly) that they were either muted or "talked to" unfairly by a moderator.
simply put there's no mechanism by which the players can develop further faith and trust in these totally anonymous moderators.
i very rarely even encounter them, yet....
