Before anyone asks about the 'new mod'....

22-09-2003, 04:49
We are not a new moderator. We are simply a group puppet operated by the moderators for those times when we do not wish to reveal which moderator is posting. We are all the mods. Rep, Neut, Scolo, Melkor, Steph, Cog, Enodia, Ineptia, Yavin, etc.

Can I please ask that before this alter is used - at least two of you agree on the action?

It would only benefit you if it was a consistent rule.
22-09-2003, 04:52
No joke. This nation is to allow the mods to post without revealing which particular mod is actually speaking. Note the name in green.

This is no joke.

Please notice that the label beneath the name is "Mod Collective" this was done by us.

So are you guys going to take turns on your issues, or are you only a nation in theory? Are you going to use this nation in RP's? Did you randomly pick a region, or are you gracing one with perhaps the single most powerful nation in NS history? I am just concerned about fairness. I honestly believe that most of you act responsibly and do not abuse your power, however there are one or two of you that I'm not so sure about. I just want to know that your new puppet will not be "pulling strings".

In all honesty, the new puppet will probably hardly be used. There's really no need to hide what we Mods do from the rest of the game. In the future I plan to just refer the lynch mobs after myself to go read my custom national title, and if they still think they have an argument, they can bring it forward.

Anyway, most of the arguments about Mod actions are somewhat asinine, and rarely an actual discrepancy on the Mods part. Rather, it's players haranguing the Mod(s) for enforcing the rules fairly, but against said player(s)' camp (which is really quite annoying when they had previously praised a similar action by the Mod against the "other" side's camp...)

It's alright. I havent actually looked, but my guess is that the issues are turned off, no it wont be used to RP with, and it's already found a home in some region, of which I'm not sure what the name is.

Essentially, it's only going to be used to post actions here in the forums, nothing else.

Well, I'm not sure if your referring to the region's name as being the joke or not, but actually it has nothing to do with insanity. It is a reference (about twice removed) to something which I do (which shall remain secret). However, I will tell you that it is much more closely related to the Cuckoo bird than insanity.

it's in the cuckoo nest, salusa's region....
mmmm, seeing that region, i wonder if mods can take a little joke :twisted:

Well, I'm not sure if your referring to the region's name as being the joke or not, but actually it has nothing to do with insanity. It is a reference (about twice removed) to something which I do (which shall remain secret). However, I will tell you that it is much more closely related to the Cuckoo bird than insanity.

Now this is ironic. But I can see it being useful in such cases as the Pacific mess. However, used in that manner, it could backfire and create an even greater impression of unaccountability. Its use requires great caution, if it is to be used in sensitive situations.
