Thank you to the moderators

[ZephyrMenodora]

I know their presence can be rarely felt, but thank you to the board mods for removing two threads this morning.

Please keep it up and help make the forums a nicer place to visit!

Oh yeah, they've really done a lot to clean up this place. /s

The moderation state of this forum is shameful and praising them for doing the bare minimum is mindboggling.

pointing out how awful you think they are is NOT going to make them want to be more consistent.

Kudos. If more people had this mindset when giving feedback, the world would be in a much better place.

Neither will anything else XD

If someone's reaction to people being annoyed that they consistently do their job poorly over a prolonged period of time... is to cross their arms, sit down, and say, "Fine! Then I won't do my job at all!" ... then, er... I can't say I have much sympathy.

That said, because this is Square-Enix, it's probably best to start with the assumption that the moderators "want" to do their job well, but are hamstrung by some combination of being understaffed, underpaid, operating under a ridiculous amount of bureaucratic overhead and regulations, or otherwise just being hampered by all the usual convolutions that service-level employees are subjected to in, or when employed by, large corporations... especially large Japanese corporations, where it probably requires an entire Shadowbringers-length questline just to ask a supervisor a question.

It might be a bit too aggressive but the point still needs to be stated. As bad as these forums are the mods either seem to be waiting until things get incredibly bad or they've got some sort of self-interest going on.

I dont mind the odd thread here and there, like trolling will exist in any avenue of open forum...it was just the amount of alts posting stupid, bait driven topics and like communicating with themselves via the alts is where I was like oh come on this isn't healthy. At this point I'm inclined to think Aveyond is an alt because they have actually been true to their word at the moment and haven't been back since their departure XD. Im ever so sorry if me typing that name makes them come back to the forums post haste haha.

Aveyond is an alt. He doesn't want to post on his main.

Oh yeah your right...I wonder if Aveyond is under another new alt....we will never know. Damn the lack of cheap fan fiction on the forums.

I can’t praise this Zephyr Im sorry I want to stay hopeful that this place will improve but honestly they deleted a thread that was made to name and shame and they still didn’t ban the user himself AND he continued to name and shame:

That account is probably still not banned even after this and even if, it wouldn’t matter because they have dozens alts.
At this point Im actually believing one of them is either a mod or they are awfully favoured because any active mod would see what is going on with all the alts and all the threads made to incite people for “fun” but nothing changes and it could be EASILY changed and it’s clear they are around, but choose to do nothing. Can’t be praised unless thanked for the bare minimum…honestly this matter should be taken out of the forums and talked about at this point for anything to change.

I agree with you 100%. Things can and should be a lot better here! But I have seen 3 threads lately removed and a few comments here and there. It's a start and something I want to encourage.
