RealmEye Forums Moderator AMA [Request]

#41

tyvm I love all of the moderators. I love how you guys are able to respond to questions fast and efficient. <3

#42

alright im just flooded with questions today, lol

@moderators, Will it ever be possible for a regular to become a mod? Is there a requirement for it or is it impossible?

#43

The @username tags make this sooooo much better. Most forums have people saying ā€œmoderator!ā€ in a reply and theyā€™re never seen. We ainā€™t got time to read every single reply ever posted, but getting a notice weā€™ve been tagged makes it easy to respond when weā€™re called.

The mod ability is granted by the admins. If RealmEye wants to add more mods then the answer to your question would be ā€œyesā€.

#44

Sadly, no. @Docā€™s Tome can Purify the entire Forums!

#45

I just know I was beat to the punch. Iā€™m glad about that, because that avatar is much funnier/appropriate than whatever I was going to use.

No, weā€™re just illuminating.

I thought of another reason.

4.Ā A lot of us are veritable fonts of historical information. I feel obligated to stick around as historical resource because thereā€™s only so much you can get out of the historical patch notes.

#46

so if the game was to magically stay around for 20 more years, would you still be here?

#47

20 years? No. The history of the first 2 or 3 years of the game would be insignificant at that point.

To digress, one of the non-IRL reasons that keeps me from playing RotMG occasionally is that sometimes Iā€™ll be overwhelmed by a sense that Iā€™m an anachronism when I do play. The way players play this game has changed a lot, and Iā€™ve not. Thereā€™s nothing wrong with that, nor do I harbor some gripe that the game should be played like it used to be played. It just is what it is; I could adapt, but I choose not to.

I see it like the General MacArthur quote, ā€œold soldiers donā€™t die, they just fade away.ā€

#48

I feel fine.

#49

#50

@moderators are we allowed to mention trust level 3+ topics on public threads?

#51

No, there is a reason why its called the ā€œYou-know-whatā€

#52

Wait didnā€™t I make a thread about this in you-know-where

#53

I think you should proceed to delete that post and ask the question somewhere elseā€¦
PS the answer is no

#54

Same here.

#55

Youā€™re welcome to try. IIRC, the forum software is not going to be outsmarted that easily.

I must say that itā€™s interesting to see people attempting to exert social pressure, especially considering there is absolutely nothing worth talking about there.

#56

I was meaning mentioning the name for movement purposes. does this clarify? @HGKing

#57

Maybe, not really. I can say that whatever it is that youā€™re wanting to do, doesnā€™t matter to me so I donā€™t care. The only consequence I can imagine would be social.

Edit: BTW, PMs are a thing, so maybe thatā€™s an answer that applies for whatever youā€™re talking about.

#58

@moderator how do you become a wiki moderator/editor? Iā€™m interested in contributing to the realmeye wikis.

#59

Any one above 14 stars can edit the wiki pages

#60

I just realized anyone can edit the pages.

Disregard my stupidity thanks
