Welcome Our New Event Coordinator

Don't you have to be a moderator to post in site announcements?

While I don't really have an opinion on whether this person moderates or not, but Eosian could have created an off-shoot group of either Super Mods or Admins and given her access to post in Site Announcements, there isn't really a need to place her into the Super Mod usergroup when he could have whipped up a custom group with everything she needed to do her job besides to save time. Or that he did indeed want her to moderate if such a thing came into her path.

I can see why it would concern people, but it's not really a big deal.

Definitely wrong mouse lol. I was leaning more toward the boys we both know lol. We need to coordinate a time on that Battle Mage idea. I think I'd like to check it out, at the very least. And God forbid I actually like it lmao.

Ahh, then I suppose we have different mice in mind =P. Though I think you'd like mine, as she forced me to not be lazy and actually log instead of just shooting a text or something to congradulate =P. I'll PM you about Bmages as to not get off topic.

If you have absolutely no wish to participate in moderation, you shouldn't be dabbling into its waters. In the event that you (even with the most reasonable excuse in this world and the next) choose to retain the smallest portion of authority, the truth remains that YOU chose to do it, or that Eos had such plans, or whatever it may suggest to each doubtful mind.

After all, with your main role having nothing to do with giving out punishment, it's only fair that you save yourself some time and us some trouble.

For all the "concerns" of how much authority she has, legitimate or not, are we all forgetting that it takes a bigger person to have power and not use it than to simply not use it because its not there?

Plain and simple, give her a chance and watch her blow you away.

This.
I just want a simple Y/N answer and we all move on. If you don't do moderation, both sides get less pomegranate to deal with, if you do, you must have your reasons and I'll hate you for it and you won't care. Everyone moves on either way, I'm just proposing a solution to put a minor issue at rest. If it had been made clear from the start, I'm guessing Rick would've just agreed to disagree.

I believe I gave Rick the answer he was looking for. As for your concerns about me dishing out infractions, I discuss virtually everything with Eos. Also, infracting people is really not even on my mind. Right now I have one focus and I'm doing just that......focusing on the task at hand. I also suppose that if people would just behave, considering they know the rules, infractions wouldn't be a concern anyhow. Infractions do exist though and they exist for a reason. I guess I really don't see the issue here. It's like getting a speeding ticket. You know what you did, that it was wrong, you sign the ticket, pay the fine and still hop in your car and move along. It eventually expires off your record as long as you learned your lesson the first time and don't do it again. I can promise you that I am level headed and if I ever infracted anyone I'm sure there would be a dang good reason for it. I won't be browsing around the forums looking to hand out infractions though.

Infractions are never the issue. Your possession (or the jump to it) of moderator's powers in conjunction with your informal relationship with the site's extreme authority is. I don't question whether it's right or wrong, I'm questioning whether or not you want to and will do it.
It doesn't seem necessary anyhow, since you're already sounding like one, though I could be jumping the gun.

Welcome and hope there will be great events for Southperry.

I think I'm just being logical. As I said already, if I see a need to infract someone I will. But I also won't go lurking the threads to find infractions. I will do my job as it's been laid out before me. My main concern is exactly what I'm already doing. I hope you will participate in the events too. It's all to have a little bit of FUN. (and I think SP could use a little fun)

Have a re-read, because I was never worried about Talia going on an infraction frenzy.

Yesh! +1
Oh, wait. . . infractions are fun?

NVM.

Eos specifically said that given the case Talia would moderate.

If people are being abusive in her threads she needs to be capable of dealing with it, not stuck waiting for a "real" mod to come along and help her.
Likewise if she needs to close a thread, move a thread, delete a thread, post an announcement, reopen a thread or anything else to do her job.

She'd be the equivalent of a local moderator except she needs more freedom than that, so she's the same level as everyone else because I can trust her to behave herself and stay focused.

Welcome =)

My reaction to this thread:

1. Huh, I remember seeing Talia somewhere, was it Nexon forums? Or was it a different GM....

2. God, people hate Talia. She seems pretty chill.

3. LULZ MARK AND PUBLIC HAIR.

4. ...never saw Rick and Eos get that mad before.

5. Glad for resolved argument?

6. Welcome to Southperry, the land of chinchillas, pineapples, and opossums.
