I honestly thought this thread was a bump from about five years ago. I think we blamed it on the massive influx of new players from Silent Hunter III at that point...or was that seven years ago. I forget.
GT is GT, people are people, be they moderators or posters. If you want a moderator completely devoid of opinion or comment then code a automatic program. I've been a mod on another forum, and that was with a much much much lower user base than Subsim, and we had some characters there, and it was a bloody hard job to be civil to them some days, and other days I'd have to be talked out of picking up the ban-hammer.
That's why you have a mod-TEAM, they look out for and support each other, if one of them crosses the line, the others pick him or her up on it, and if a moderator suffers a complaint then the others discuss it and judge the situation, ultimately Neal is the High Chief, the Big Fish, the Lord High Inquisitioner...errr...getting carried away there, so he can make an executive decision if he chooses to, but he has chosen the moderators that he has for a reason, he trusts them, and if Neal trusts someone, then I trust them too.
Except Steve...he's shifty...
