It has been ZERO DAYS since a moderator actually did something in General Discussion

[gotaname1]

And what they did was *looks over notes* lock a thread initially discussing why there was a need for inclusivity advertisements because it had been deemed to run its course:

Greetings!

While we greatly appreciate everyone taking the time to share their opinions on this subject, it seems that the conversation has run its course, due to the thread veering away from game-related conversations. Considering this, the thread has now been closed. Thank you for your understanding and participation!

Amazing to see a moderator in action in light of recent events and non-recent events *cough bait&troll threads&necromancers cough* And people wonder why people dont feel taken seriously or take issue with how the forum is being run....

People here are bored and looking to burn someone at the stake. I wouldn't take the bait if I were a moderator. They'll just jump on him no matter what they say/do. There. The sad truth.

Azilemnity is a GM and not a CM. To be honest someone probably reported the thread and they were the one sent to deal with them. At least they left a message instead of sniping the thread from orbit.

Nah, they removed a post of mine in the FFXIV Girls Only thread some hours ago, for scolding the person who necro-ed it. Another post with similar intention was also removed. Makes me wonder if the necromancer mass reported us or something.

He's referring to mods, not CMs. This is part of their job. If the site is infested with trolls, it is their fault. They don't always have to announce they're doing something but it's readily apparent when they're not.

Regarding CMs, sorry but if SE is paying CMs to do interact with the public, it is part of their job to do that. If the mods maybe did a better job of clearing up trolls and putting an end to incendiary discussions, perhaps the CMs could actually do a bit of that? But it's still not an excuse. At the end of the day, this is a SE controlled site. Any issues on it lie entirely at their own feet, so I can't say I have any sympathy.

Too bad it did not wake anyone up.
