I just noticed that there seems to be a bit of confusion over the relative status of the moderators of each forum here at Ironworks - do moderators of one forum have policy authority at another forum where their name is not officially listed (eg Cloudy at GD, Mouse at BG2 etc).
The short answer to this is YES. Ironworks moderators are Ironworks moderators, no matter what forum they are on. Just because they don't have admin authority to lock down threads doesn't mean that they don't speak with Ironworks authority when they have their "mod hats" on. Please respect their wishes as it is their job to make sure that the forum runs smoothly. If you have a problem with something a moderator does (and nobody's perfect), please communicate this to the moderator or the moderator team tactfully, in private (via email or PM). Our moderators are all very reasonable people and will be more than happy to listen to your comments if you phrase them in a polite way. I always reply to any PM or email sent to me and I'm certain that all the others do as well. Respect for authority (meaning ALL moderators) is something that is taken VERY seriously here, and this is not negotiable. Don't like it, don't want to abide by it, the door's that way - don't let it hit you on the way out. Let me just quote our ToS: Quote:

Ofcourse it isn`t an unreasonable request. [img]smile.gif[/img]
We`re here to have fun, but if there was total anarchy here and not even the mods had any control over what went on, well I know that I, for one, would leave immediately. But we have VERY reasonable rules, along with an excellant admin who appoints excellant mods. That`s what make`s ironworks the happy place it is. [img]smile.gif[/img] |

Nice one Genieboy
It's sad that some people seemingly cannot respect the authority that the mods (all of them) have. Ziroc chose them because he obviously trusts them to do their job well. Still doesn't mean they can go act all aloof and not dance nekkid with the disrobed dancing division though [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yes, thank you, Memnoch. It's sad when one has to remind people of such a thing, but there it is. Personally, I think everyone should accord everyone ELSE the same respect as well.
