I'd say a good way would just be that if you are away from the computer change your nick to show that.
Make it Aura Blackquill|AFK.
Problem is, some of us like to hold conversations in PMs. It's a pain managing multiple PM boxes under different usernames. I suppose it's an unavoidable problem, though.

Thank you all for the feedback, by the way.
.
I d like to say is the mods here are great but some on the battle server dont anwser or care the only mod that will anwser will be Aurora. Aurora helped me, the other staff didn't care the staff are just rude. I asked about a room and they couldn't anwser the non battleserver staff were more professional.the administrator r gr8 I give 5 star

Just wanted to point out that the reason a moderator may have told you they couldn't help with you a room is because we actually can't. Only ~administrators have the power to make/remove other chat rooms so you actually do have to wait for one to be on if you need help with that. Other than that, thanks for the feedback and we are currently discussing ways to be more obvious when we are afk or unavailable while still allowing us to be on the server.

In my experience on the battle server, I have wanted to say that awolffromspace and everyone else on the server staff have always had a friendly environment and they keep things clean that's for sure. They are quick to the job when anything happens such as a spammer coming into the lobby chat as well, and are quick to discipline any rule breaking. Please keep up the excellent work everyone!

I agree with Zach. Everyone on the battle server staff is doing a great job making the server enjoyable for me to visit and if they weren't around I'd imagine how chaotic the server would become. They do a great job disciplining and clearing out spammers. Keep up the great work you guys!

For what it's worth, I've been staff for closing in on my 4th year now (not including a 6 month break), when I was a mod, I had 3 sections and 7 sub-forums in total. As an S-mod, I deal with a lot more things behind the scenes, and work on fixing styles and other back end related material on PC, as well as being very involved in staff discussions. But honestly, being battle server staff is one of the toughest challenges as a staff member across the several years I've worked hard on PC. It's not an easy ride, and people underestimate the difficulty and hard, fast decisions the battle server staff have to make. So kudos, really.

I'm new to the Roleplaying Thread Section, when I arrived there I found myself confused by some of the guidelines/rules of thread creation, so I asked a moderator there, Magic, they were extremely helpful and kind despite my many questions, and helped me understand thread creation in the RP section better. Just thought I should post a good review of them here:)

Dragon does an amazing job of welcoming users...he's like Sheep's apprentice in a way xD. He has her outstanding kindness, and they both put a great deal of effort into their posts. He's taken over Sheep's spot as TWL moderator really well, and I love the work he's done.

I really don't know what to say here considering this is like, my first post here and I'm not used to this sort of thread, but I'd just like to say that I'm really pleased with what staff are doing with the forums. Honourable mention to BSS for being quick to clean up bad situations.

For staff feedback, Ill start with the negative and go on to the good.
For one, this staff does not know how to take feedback without getting butthurt. In fact, I have no idea why this thread even exists, maybe just for the mods to tell off whoever says something bad. Just by scrolling through the pages, I've found that everytime someone says something bad (which is the point of this thread kind of, to tell the mods what you do and dont like), they are responded with a snarky comment and telling them that they are wrong. I strongly dislike this and me thinks the staff needs to work on that. Also, most of the staff is so uptight about everything... but there are good things too.

Theres a few mods I would like to mention by name for their excellent work. For one I would like to say Endless is one of the best mods I've seen in a long time. She (or he, who knows) gets involved in a hell of a lot of topics and always provides a nice, mature post that has some good meat to it. Shes extremely active, considering all the sections she monitors and is very friendly when she goes about "enforcing the law." If you're reading this, keep up the great work!

Also Zach is a pretty great mod too. Hes always really informative and isnt too strict.
Also, Necrum, who rules the challenges forum with an Iron fist, despite my many questions and confusions is still pretty lenient and friendly.
And lastly, Oryx is a great mod too. Very fun, friendly, and informative. She clearly knows what shes doing ;) whoops lol nvm

There's a clear difference between constructive criticism (emphasis on constructive) and the whining, complaining or general nonsense replies you're referencing. You'll notice that the constructive posts are usually received well, and we try to work towards fixing it. People coming here solely to start problems are dealt with. It's as simple as that.

And, for the record, Oryx isn't a mod.

Yeah, although she was a mod a while back. I do know some of the supporters get confused for mods since it's happened to me before but it's really nice to see you enjoying the forum so far and that's a good thing.

Supporters are those who donate money to the forums, which really helps Rukario pay for the vBulletin costs in the long run so they're like making their mark on the community as well given the stuff you get for giving your share of donations. In fact, it all shows you don't have to be a mod to make an impact here.

I don't think I can say too much, seeing as I am quite new to these forums, but I can say a few things:

Olli is a friendly Moderator who is fantastic at what he does. Unlike some Moderators who I have met in previous games/forums, he actually interacts with the members 'below' him instead of acting like a robot.

Endless is also an extremely friendly Moderator. She gets involved in as much as she can and doesn't just sit back and watch things fly by. I praise her for being so active, despite all the work she must do.

Thank you for reading.

I'd like to compliment any and all staff members involved in dealing with users who blatantly ignore rules repeatedly. The reaction of merely suggesting a reading of the rules - is a very fair and measured response. I apologize if this comes off as making fun of the user who reposted the same thread three or more times today despite it being locked by several moderators, I'm not just talking about you. Although honestly I must admit to finding that specific situation humorous.

Guess this would be a good opportunity to discuss one of the newest additions to the mod team, Necrum. On one hand, he’s been a very active challenge member and I remember joining the Monotype early in my time here, so his promotion was well deserved and it does feel interesting having Syd's name carried down.

But on the other hand, when it comes to Trade Corner’s IRC chat I feel like he can be a bit obnoxious. Not all the time, but some. Now don’t get me wrong, Necrum is a cool guy, but not everyone takes comments as he intends. Even Lilith sort of called him out on it the other day. I'm sure someone will comment on how Trade Corner is a world full of ham and jerks on a regular basis (including me) like your average sitcom, but whatever. Felt getting that off my chest was necessary, since Mac and EV are no more, and sometimes I can’t stand Keiran's puns. (And if this becomes another take turns attacking me, I am so finished.)

But again, I don’t hate him, he’s cool and all so I am glad he was promoted in the area that he’s mainly about.

Stargazer, are you referring to this one the other day? I wouldn't say I called Necrum out on his behavior because I thought the individuals involved were horsing around. If it's another situation or a combination of some events, please let me know.

Oh snap, he's viewing the thread right now.

But i'm not trying to make him look bad or anything, like I said since EV and Mac are gone and we have less staff in Trade Corner it just sometimes bothers me, but it's really not much of a big deal in the long run. I pretty much made that post solely for Oryx's Seven Days challenge thing, anyway.

I wouldn't say his actions in #tradecorner reflect him as a staff member, especially since he's only been modding for about a week. Remember, this thread is for staff feedback, so it should be relevant to that. If he were causing issues in tc, you should tell Blade or Keiran. But we all know he's really a teddy bear and won't bite. (Maybe.)

Now get back to your event, bird. :3

Inquiries about a member's ban should be directed to a member of staff privately. It's then up to their discretion whether or not they share ban reasons with you.
Oh my bad. I will ask a mod in private then.

I would just like to ask why Braxien was banned. I didn't really notice anything bad about him.
Sorry, the staff don't share information about bans outside of staff and the banned member. I actually did that ban, so it isn't worth contacting anyone to ask about it as suggested above.

...and on that note, despite what the above says, staff tend to not share information on banned members. @[email protected]

Let me just clarify, we don't share details with people unless they are the ones being banned. It's a matter of staff discretion. It's up to the user who received the ban and whether or not they inform people what they did to receive it.

Ah okay. I can see why you won't share information like that.
