Subject: Slightly Concerning

First post in 60 days! (My ban literally expired seconds ago.)

So, Community, today a user had a question regarding Bnet and I helped him out via PM. He said thanks, and, when I told him to PM myself or a Ninja if he had anymore questions, he said:
Posted by: censurd
forum ninjas, psht stuff them, never answer my questions. prbably think they're too good for me

This unnerves me. I would like to believe that it isn't true, but it's still sort of disconcerting that a new Member feels it's "not worth it" to ask a Mod questions, because they don't think the Ninja will give them useful advice or even answer their questions at all.

What do you guys think?

Mods don't answer lots of PMs, I'm sure. As would you (not) if you got the number they do per day.

In addition to the above statements: some* people are stupid. Stupid people interpret things incorrectly lots of the time.

*by some... I mean most

dat feeling when you plow a multi-ton covenant war machine.

I admit I feel that some mods only care because they have to. Then there are mods whom I feel care too much *cough* fomon *cough*. That said, there are plenty of mods one could ask. Duardo, TU, yoozel, bobcast, I don't feel it's the mods fault. More a general feeling by members that mods are "superior" and above their perceived ramblings. I've had this happen when new members refused to ask me about the flood library, choosing to instead discreetly ask me in PM or private groups for fear they would insult or annoy my apparently "superior" forum status.

All in all, you can really only supply knowledge as you are asked and hope that those seeking info get it.

Foman is top on my list of people to PM for help. If I send him a PM with legitimate meaning (one that's not random or pointless), he usually PMs me back with a helpful response.

Duardo is too much of the go-to guy for me to bother PMing him; I feel that I wouldn't get one back quick enough. The only time he's ever PMed me back / noticed I PMed him was a week after I sent the message. :P

Qbix will answer anything. He'll do anything, too.

The only problem I've ever had is with TU and his constant nagging about how I'm not apart of his Aggie Master Race.

Also, I wonder how many people actually manage to PM some of the inactive mods and then come to that perception. I think it would be safe to assume not too many, but it might be possible.

Speaking of replies, I almost always know why I'm being banned, and try to make the mods laugh at my ban reply. Unless it's an appeal, then I get shot down by yoozel and his nonexistent sense of humor.

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

Lol, good to have you back.

A reply is a reply is a reply... It's not easy to moderate on a mobile device.

Yeah, that's why I think we might need to HAVE LESS INACTIVE MODS FOR CHRIST'S SAKE

JUST KICK THEM OUT, IT'S NOT HARD

Because on a mobile device you don't have a carpet ban button.

Stop crying. If he wasn't able to moderate at the time (or couldn't), then he was telling you that nothings going to get done unless you PM a different mod. It was very helpful.

I like how you didn't replace path1k's name in the quote. I'm pretty sure that the mods will harass him now.

You told me to "stop crying" when I was obviously joking with TU. I wasn't talking to you nor did you have any reason to criticize what was said. Now please stop derailing the thread, yo; if you really want to continue this pointless argument then feel free to PM me.

LOL, Revan's gonna hit someone.

I probably should take out his name, though.
