Can we please see more engagement and activity from our community representatives?

Well if you're like me and saw a certain thread late last night east coast wise that would have definitely caused drama. It was deleted by the time I logged into the forums this morning around 8/9am est. So, I have assume there is some moderation? Just not as much as we'd expect I guess?

Also isn't most of the mods community reps? If so that also might be one reason why the JP forums see more action as Foxicon aka the silver haired guy who sits next to Yoshida in all of the LLs is a Jp community rep.

I know some threads receive attention if they hit a certain number of 'likes'. I suppose we'll see if this meets the criteria...

I have criticized forum moderation for a long time, but I never wanted them to be seemingly completely absent and not do anything ever! We need actual community representatives around here, actually moderating. The forums recently have become quite bloated with things that I'd say are most definitely against the ToS/forum guidelines, and I am not seeing much (if anything) being done about it! A recent example of what I'd like to see our community reps doing, here:

They stepped in when a thread was getting out of hand, and made a statement at the same time. I wish they would do this again, and more often.

That's nifty and helpful of them.
Is this something they used to do more?

I'm not sure, In the years I've been using the forums I haven't seen this as a regular occurrence. That was quite a unique appearance by our community reps, but I think it needs to happen much more often. If they had a presence such as this, I don't think this forum would get as out of hand as it is now.

Well, for what it's worth my thoughts haven't really changed in regards to what I wrote in my original post.

There's a certain irony, I suppose, in my example of the Black Fat Chocobo mount being unavailable to European players given that a second promotional mount has since been made available primarily in the Japanese and North American regions.

We've also seen direct engagement between whoever runs the official FFXIV Twitter account and various 'content creators'. Yet a significant number of players post here, not on Twitter - and so I feel it is only fair that there is direct engagement here as well.

For example, whenever a new Tweet with a link to an interview or a promotional screenshot is put out there over on Twitter then perhaps the same could be done over here as well?

Necroing your thread that complains about necroing threads. Nice.

Pretty sure someone posted before them.

I posted in this thread, as I thought the discussion here was still more than relevant. I'm not the type to create several threads over nothing, and prefer to keep relevant discussion in singular large(er) threads.
