Should you add something about acting appropriately, after all moderators reflect on the image of oldcp. A game with crappy moderators will show a bad image on the game.















And honestly guys, you are saying moderating is really hard, but from my experience it really isn't that hard. Of course it isn't easy, but I think you guys are exaggerating it a bit..















@key







part of a moderators job is keeping people entertained. hosting events such as gold competitions gives people something to do.







I do know that, but I mean almost every single day, like early in the morning when the users asking question ratio is lower sure go ahead, mods could have a gold comp. But I am talking about the middle of the day, when that ratio goes up, and your the only mod that is in the most popular place of oldcp trying to answer as many questions as you can.







So when it comes to that point, that's when moderating can be pretty tough. Beforehand, back in v6 & v7 when you were a mod Name there weren't 100 users online a day, and I could tell. But ever since oldcp went into v9 we've been hitting over 120 users during the middle of the day, and 99% of those users are at the town. Moderating has changed ever since v 6, v7, and believe it or not v8 as well. On the forums and oldcp, with an increasingly amount of new accounts made each day. I think ever since oldcp started back up again in January we've already topped our old record of accounts from v1 - v7. So Name, mods can do gold comps every once in awhile whenever there isn't like 100 users on, but not in the situation where there are over 100 users online.







I do understand what your point is name, but sometimes there are many users who ask questions to the point where there needs to be another mod at the same place to help out.



Wait, they are hosting gold comps without any backup moderators?

Now I seee. Usually I'd only host one if tons of mods were on, but from what you are saying, only a couple are online.

Nowww you get it lol. Anyways glad we could fix the confusion!

This is much better now! There's so many users say "I wanna become a mod" to a mod. If you ask that you may lose your chances.
