Drama and criticism from 5th Aniversery thread

Re: FFXI Fifth Aniversery

I can see I may need to just split this this thread...

And either you want it or not mods play a huge role on the quality of a site, and this site has a pretty good team, the problem is we don't get to see them online as often as we used to. Which in my opinion has affected the quality of the site.

I agree with you. Mods are important, and I think the mods/owners here are either busy with their work/school/etc or they have lost interest. Whatever the reason is, its none of my business and how they choose to run this forum is also up to them.

While the mods/admins here are very fair, I also cant count how many times a mod/admin has acted on an incident and had to endure posts/harassment about how they are the reason the forums suck, the mods/admins are all nazi's, and the rules here are too strict. Its like a broken record when a mod/admin takes action against someone who knows they are breaking the rules.

And for the record... I saw the derail starting yesterday as I was leaving, but presumed if it got bad enough another mod/admin would stop it. By the time I got back today it was already over.

This was the first ffxi forum I found and it was sorta like what BG is now, but this forum just isnt as popular now. Just like the rest of you... I wish this was the more popular forum.

(off topic)
The forum is only as good as the members. KI has a slow DB, overall poor quality of posts, and members who love to flame people for anything and everything. But 1k+ people still hang out there daily.

People like the drama. People dont hang out at KI because because its a good forum, they hang out because its topic after topic of drama. BG is the same thing, people think its where all the 'cool people' hang out from FFXI. They go there because they wanna see big dogs spar off in 'lolridill' threads.

I agree a forum is as good as the members in it, but Mods make a huge difference in the tone of a forum.

I'm sure you've seen this many more times than I have, but one of the first things new posters pointed out when praising this site was the good work the mod team was doing.

It's never a bad time for a few verses from Wicked.

I wasn't expecting people to break into song.

Re: FFXI Fifth Aniversery

To have a good forum, I think it has to be both good people and good moderating.

Only 1 mod made their presence here and only in 1 post. The massive derail could have been avoided, I think.

Re: FFXI Fifth Aniversery

I'm reminded of a song in which is a Broadway musical that I saw...

Galinda:
What is this feeling so sudden and new?

Elphaba:
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you

Galinda:
my pulse is rushing

Elphaba:
my head is reeling

Galinda:
my face is flushing

Both:
what is this feeling fervid as a flame,
does it have a name,
yes!

loathing
unadulterated loathing

Galinda:
for your face

Elphaba:
your voice

Galinda:
Your clothing

Both:
lets just say I loathe it all.
Every little trait however small,
makes my very flesh begin to crawl, with simple utter loathing
theres a strange exilhiration in such total
detestation. It's so pure so strong
though i do admit it came on fast
still i do believe that it can last
and i will be loathing,
loathing you my whole life long

Re: FFXI Fifth Aniversery

Ya, so if things go bad here, it's because we all suck.

I admit that I make a lot of useless/DB posts, but this really is still my favorite forum for this game. It's definatly the most mature, KI is a joke.

Re: FFXI Fifth Aniversery

Hmm, indeed, the quality of this site's topics and posts has fallen in the last few months.

I still think it has to do with the lack of mod presence lately.
