Although you say this post isn't pointed towards anyone in particular, it's quite obvious who it may be responding to. What you say is by no means wrong, and you have every right to see what people say about the moderators as "disrespectful," however when people try to make a statement that a reoccurring issue or subject, to be so polite, has come up, there is no reason to make another post disputing what the other has said... there's no need.
This is just another point to make that the members of staff, although said otherwise by such, are treated differently than normal users. The "normal" users have a different sense of respect then that of the staff. Sofie, I think you're missing the point that the users are trying to make, and that is; whether the user has re-earned the title back, or are re-applying it makes no real difference. Once you have resigned, you as a person have the choice to let others take your place and join the team, or to take the place you gave up, back. If the position was too overwhelming or if it created too much drama for you, it doesn't make a difference, and if you want to take the position back, what makes you think it will be any different than the last time?
Maybe I just don't understand, and maybe I never will, however it's true that our opinions are not easily heard by those with a ranked position, and are often misinterpreted as being too "rude" or "disrespectful."

Yes!
I've seen users complain about Ellie and Bailey but what they don't try to do is look at it from their perspective. They've been promoted to mod, they should be congratulated! It's sad seeing a newly promoted mod all droopy because of some petty hate. I am really frustrated because I've been in their position. Every one hated me when I was first mod because I earned it within three months instead of five months. It's all jealousy really, you see, all they want to do is make them feel bad. Sometimes even guilty for regaining moderator, but what really bothers me is that those moderators are blamed for their promotion. News flash, administrators pick them. They don't pick to be a moderator, and they sure as hell don't want to be hated for it. So stop what you're doing and think. Great post, Sofie. It's amazing how disrespectful some users are. But what can I say? I mean, it's obviously a custom here.

Obviously most people are power hungry, they want the highest position so they'd get more respect from users. I myself made the DSGHQ ROBLOX Server and I get respect from users.

Hello,

I do agree about the point you're making, but I think I want to share my point of view.

Some users may be disrespecting, but we have to also respect users opinions. Some people want to say their opinions and they can't because apparently saying something against moderators is disrespect. We should all be entitled to a freedom of speech and most people don't speak their mind because they will get in trouble from it. I do agree with some users point of views, but some are harmless and are not rude or anything. But, that depends on what you classify is rude. Users should be respected for their opinion, as long as they say it civilly.

Thank you, but I agree overall.

Judging of what they're capable of some moderators ignores users at occasions

Yes,

I always tell people to respect other rankings as they respect you.....

People don't listen.....

Thank you Iceesofie for posting this, I agree with you 100%. I was about to post something like this before you did. Anyways regardless if your a ranking or not people need to respect each other, so the community can continue to grow.

Thats all I can say i'm in a rush

Ah, yes. this is the post that I have thought some time on.I think users should stop being mean to moderators because the moderators are the one who are helping OldCP run. This post is not meant to be hurtful or anything! Sorry for the short post too. -Mills

You should all give some respect to staff at all times.


Yes, but all normal users need just the same amount if respect. We are no different.

well i guess u havent checked all things yet but indeed i agreed with this

This Is Very True, It Should All Come To A STOP!. Everyone Must Respect Moderators, Ellie And Bailey Have Had Their Second Chances, Because Of There Grateful And Helpfulness.

Don't worry, it's not a short post!

It's kinda getting a bit old now.
I gotta agree with Wolf on here. If you try and see the point of view by a normal user, they hardly have a chance anymore to be a moderator, because we are just picking the same people all over again to be one.

Im not hating on them. I honestly think they are doing well, but I think we need new faces who have the potential to be a mod then select the same people everytime.

Also, I feel we need commited mods. I dont like seeing mods constantly be chosen again because they keep leaving their jobs for whatever reasons. Once is fine, but mutiple times are showing they are not committed.

Please try and see this from a normal users point of view.

We Need Trial Mods!!!

Just people doing their thing on OldCP, don't those people mind to give them space for moderating?
Also, just to cut off those people thinking the post is bias, we ALL have to be treated fairly by each other.
Don't be bias yourself and care more for someone and not everyone else. Treat people as if how you want to be treated,
if you do that they'll think of that and copy your kindness! Remember we're all humans and we have the same rights, don't
ruin it for each other.

yes,even though they sometimes may not give respect back
doesn't mean you do the same,very wise post sofie

We're all human!

I agree with this. We should have the freedom to speak our minds in a respectful way. You can't force people to agree with you and not allow them to speak their minds. You should be listening to their opinions because the users and their opinions are what shape this community. The only punishable thing is rudeness and harmful comments.

Thanks for the post though Sofie, it is important that we respect each other.
